Indeed, sometimes I really appreciate a heads up of if I can save in the middle of gameplay or if I have to complete a whole run before it saves progress, things like that are not deal breakers but it can definitely affect how I play a game

How I feel about your comment: 1 - it’s ugly 2 - meh 3 - the graphics are okay 4 - it’s pretty 5 - OMG it’s like real life!

5/5

I never hold anything against FedEx employees because I talk with the drivers often as they deliver to my workplace and they run their drivers so fucking hard, not a single driver has said they like the job. It pays them well, but the trucks are always bad quality and breaking down, and the drivers barely have time to take breaks and eat while getting done at a good time most days.

I always feel bad for them.

The other night my wife suggested we watch this and I’d vaguely heard of it, but not its reputation, so we did watch it since an anthology would be fun! We made it maybe 40% through until I realized it was so bad that I had to stop. They just don’t know when a joke stops being funny, and most of the skits are barely funny to begin with.

If they cut most of those skits down by probably half, the movie would be awkwardly short, but it would at least flow better, and you’d be able to move onto something else if you weren’t liking the current skit much, but as it is, it’s a mediocre slog that has a bafflingly star studded cast.

It’s just far too juvenile and long in the tooth, and I have nothing against juvenile humor, but man, I just couldn’t get much out of it.

I got into Balatro finally, and holy fuck, it really is great. I wanted a turn based roguelike since I realized I didn’t have many of those, and I knew it’d be good, but it’s hard to find something I don’t like about the game.

It looks good, the interface is good, the music is an awesome ever changing single chill song, it’s turn based so you can think about your decisions, but if your build is strong you can play pretty quick too. There are tons of build options and unlocks.

There is a nice balance between playing hands and altering your build between rounds, I like that the money economy is low in number, similar to darkest dungeon and its low number damage stats even single digits matter. Learning the game and starting runs you begin to establish a build that you can add synergy to incredibly quickly. I just struggle to find anything bad to say about it.

Oh wow, skipping a microwaving hot pocket just reminded me of the movie Click and how SPOILERS FOR CLICK it just adapts and starts fast forwarding through shit it doesn’t think he wants to see until he realizes he misses those things

He’s a fantastic video game streamer. Very charismatic, genuine, and funny. I think one of the things that makes him special is he’ll do ridiculous things for a joke. If he thinks of a funny idea on the fly, sometimes he’ll basically stop playing whatever game he was supposed to be streaming, and just do something else stupid instead.

For example, one time he performed a “magic trick” by unplugging his modem and then plugging it back in, using the time in between when the stream was frozen to run out of the room, making it look like he “disappeared”. He would do insane, hilarious stuff like that regularly, it wasn’t like he had special streams where he did things like that, he did them all the time.

Of course he ALSO did special streams where he went even further, such as the “doll house” stream where he had a whole set made up like a fake house and basically became a Sims character with needs bars and everything. He’s a really special guy, and you could spend all day listing all of his amazing feats. He perfectly walks the line between being actually stupid in a funny way, and playing it up as a character, it’s convincing enough that it all just becomes “Jerma”, but he is also a genuinely good guy.

Specifically because it’s convincing. You may just assume everything is fake, that doesn’t mean everyone will. You may not care about seeing someone’s imperceptibly realistic nude, but if it’s depicting them they may care, and they deserve the right for people not to see them like that.

Just because it’s not logistically feasible to prevent convincing AI nudes from spreading around doesn’t make it ethical

It’s not necessary, no, but it can totally be a pro, unless you just don’t want to be friends with your lover.

That and if the idea of being lonely frightens you or makes you sad it can be easy to want to latch onto anyone, that’s really easy to fall into.

Also, unless they meant fear of breaking up, there’s no need to fear being divorced if you just don’t get married. Not everybody wants or needs to get married, that also sort of falls into the “take your time and really assess the partner” idea

Some of those cons could be true, but I think the bigger problem is that they only listed “sex and money” as the only pros.

What are you doing in a relationship if that person isn’t basically a really good friend that you can laugh with, do hobbies with, watch and talk about movies with, share music with, etc.

Sure you might have to hang out with mutual friends you don’t love (Though a good partner won’t force you to). You do need to spend time on their hobbies and likes if you don’t specifically share them. I’m not sure if I can vouch for the rest, though, those are some cons where you need to be really selective and find like minds to be with (don’t like to speak very often).

the other two (manipulated for sex, fear of divorce) are more like things you should go to therapy to learn not to tolerate or worry about, respectively.

Should’ve just named the new ones drakobolds

I had a decent idea until the silverfish, I think you’re an alien abductor now and this is your sick collection.

I mash space bar! At work I mash Ctrl alt delete

I mean, I’ve seen you on here enough to know that your brain trends towards negativity and that there’s a solid chance that if you put the time in you could get somewhere with it, even if it’s just average.

I’m not saying everyone can just be Eddie Van Halen, I’m also not saying that you should just bash your head against the wall and learn if you don’t want to, but learning the basics of guitar is not intellectually difficult, it just requires dedication, and it’s cool if you like the sound of guitar, but don’t want to learn the technique, (which isn’t musical at all, it just ends up producing music).

Life is hard enough as it is, try not to be hard on yourself.

To say you can’t is a convenient way to explain it. It’s okay to say you don’t have enough motivation to learn it. Even once you can play an instrument you still need the motivation to keep playing, and if you don’t, then that’s all good. No one thing is for everyone.

No need to say you’re stupid or incapable, you’re absolutely smart enough and capable, you just don’t have the motivation to overcome the learning curve, and that’s completely acceptable.

Oh shit, this dropped finally, I’m going to try it out after work today!

neal.fun is probably sort of known because a lot of his individual sites have gone viral, but just look through the whole catalog, there’s some amazing stuff in there

I wanted to like this, but I just don’t understand how they already made better pirate games in the AC series and then pooped out a dedicated multiplayer pirate game that lacks dismounting your ship dynamically and other players can’t walk onto your ship with you.

That’s good to know! I am a bit tied to my true account, I’m at some ungodly multiple hundreds of levels and have challenge hunted more than I do in most games, but if I can still play all the maps and freelancer mode etc. with server emulation down the line that would be absolutely amazing.
