Sometimes I make video games
Many years ago at a wedding reception someone brought a plate of magic brownies. They were clearly marked, everyone knew what they were.
An elderly relative who had never smoked in her life got into them. Before she started she was warned what they were. Nobody wanted to be the person who fed straight-laced grandma the weed, right?
She said, “It’s okay, I don’t do drugs so they won’t affect me.”
I don’t know what she thought doing drugs looked like, but boy howdy did she learn
Well you try one way, and then if that doesn’t work, you roll over, and if that doesn’t work then rolling over again should do the trick
…I guess I better go do that thing I’ve been putting off.
No wonder people hate Clippy
Bold strategy. When people complain about not having content it’s the best time to whine about having given away something free.
Anything except for charging a reasonable price for DLC, right?
“People didn’t like our expansion, maybe we should have been greedier”
You seem like somebody who might have an answer for me:
A streaming service that I’m using lists the spoken language of the show, and I’ve often seen Spanish, Espanol, and Castilian listed. What’s the difference between Espanol and Castilian - is it like a regional dialect? Also I’m probably misinformed, but I always thought that Espanol was the English word for Spanish, which makes it seem odd that the service would list both Espanol and Spanish separately.

Dumb fuck!
(/s this is the meme, I wish you the best)
Generally speaking, games don’t fail because of the decisions made by the developers. That’s usually caused by people higher up the food chain, you’d think a film/tv producer would know all about that
It’s all fun and games until there’s a shahed in the bodega
So… if I apply for a super high IQ job that’s unpaid, does that prove I’m under qualified?
My dad recently got hearing aids. The technology has come a long way. His are bluetooth and pair with his phone.
Back in the day of you wanted to ignore someone you’d just turn off your hearing aids. He uses his to listen to music now.
I’m sure there might be some practical difference between hearing aids and airbuds, but it does seem like there’s a lot of overlap
It’s funny you say that, because I think the cart is what most diehard fans of the first game disliked. It replaces the dungeon crawl. I suppose the Stress system gets a significant rework, but it keeps the spirit of the original
I think it’s a big step forward though
I’m a big fan of Darkest Dungeon, but I’m also a chronic restarter. Building a roster of heroes is fun, but permadeath is so punishing. I have a similar problem in XCOM where you spend so long in a campaign building up your roster, then you lose your ace squad and the whole thing unravels
I really enjoyed Darkest Dungeon 2. There are some radical changes, but it still hits the core vibe and offers a more roguelike experience. Even if I fail my run in spectacular fashion, I’m able to start over on the next one. Far less frustrating than a whole new campaign
Oh sure, I don’t disagree with that.
But I also don’t think a group of teenage soccer players are the people who deserve to receive extrajudicial violence
Reading articles like this you always want to be careful. People are often pretty quick to pick sides when it’s about whether or not a mob was justified.
There’s a genocide being perpetrated by Israel, but not all jews are Israeli, and even if they were you can’t really hold individuals abroad culpable for the sins of their government.
So this mob is racially motivated and engaged in terrorism - what else do you call turning an armed mob loose on a bunch of teenagers? This will surely come back to say that Palestine supporters are terrorists, and now you’re right back to lumping everyone into a group.
There would be a certain amount of irony that goes with racially profiling a racist mob. Too bad that means lumping a whole people in with the shitheels who’d be prepared to threaten kids with knives
This seems to be about oppressing women while uplifting the creepiest sort of men.
To give the maximum benefit of the doubt (which frankly, I don’t think they deserve), there’s evidence to suggest that birth defects become more likely as the mother gets older. I’ve always understood that to happen in women of a more advanced age though, 30 is too young to be a cutoff.
Also, women can’t marry older than 25? What kind of bass ackwards handmaid’s tale bullshit is that? If you want to have a family I guess you’ve got to hitch your wagon to any horse you can get your hands on. They’re so fortunate though that the law doesn’t apply to men, so they’ll have plenty of creepy fifty year old dudes to choose from.
I think as a rule we should start sterilizing politicians who endorse sterilization. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, right? Of course, a hysterectomy is quite an invasive procedure compared to a vasectomy, so maybe in the interest of equitability we should begin with castration.
Anyway, this kind of rhetoric isn’t really for women - they just happen to be the ones affected by it. For the men that this appeals to, they’re probably believe they’re more likely to attract a virginal beauty if they start removing women’s options. It’s truly abhorrent.
I think the long distance transmission lines are kind of neat. They often become roosts for hawks and eagles here, gives you a chance to see some nature near the city.
The linked comic is ugly as sin though, that’s a high voltage rat nest. And I’m sure there’s a happy medium to be found with that sort of electrical pole, but it doesn’t give me the feeling of serenity that the high tension towers do.
Underground transformers seem to be the better approach for denser connectivity
This one is completely different from your typical ARPG, but I’m going to recommend Noita.
It’s a 2d game where you play as a wizard off spelunking. The magic system is rad as heck, you find wands with spell slots in them, and spells that you can put in the wands. You can rearrange and combine spells to get some truly bizarre effects
I’ve killed myself in a dozen hilarious ways trying to make the perfect wand. It never gets old
I read the headline and thought “RIP for a real one”
Then I read “He was 69 years old” and I thought “Nice”
Wtf is wrong with me?
I’m looking over his IMDB page now and it’s a lot of memories. I always knew him as a B-movie horror legend, but it looks like he didn’t shy away from voice acting for films and games. A lot of good stuff there that I had no idea he was in
Goodnight, Candyman
“Why do you want to live? If you had learned just a little from me you would not beg to live. I am rumour. It is a blessed condition, believe me. To be whispered about at street corners. To live in other people’s dreams but not have to be. Do you understand?”
Oh yeah, and if you want any online services, you’ll want to look up what those cost. I don’t know if they offer a family discount for multiple accounts
I hope they don’t trip over that bar, it’s dangerous how they leave it on the floor
Oh wait, maybe those are my expectations of Rockstar
