  Wolf’s logo rocks. I believe all id games have that touch, even Rage.

  I mean, if by the time you buy your condoms and weed your parent is still tracking your ass, there’s something wrong with them, not you.

  Ha, never read it. I count it as a recomendation.

  You do, probably.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon hates smartphones⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I find them really fascinating, especially their error-correcting, but I do find them weird occupying every banner without any alternative and trashing our human world with too much of them, outside of the discussion of them being too much needed for functioning in our society.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon hates smartphones⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I myself feel conditioned to have it over a dumb phone. Companies and people assume that you have one, and the thing I find the most offending is obsessive QR overusage. I hate that.

  If it’s on a banner or in a document, it rarely ever have plain text address. They are on all of my bills, as mobile banking is popular and you are supposed to trust it and open it in your banking app lol (although it’s payment info in a specific format, not a web link). It’s also used in 2FA\registration for apps and you can’t login into popular messengers without scanning a pattern and my workplaces used some of them for all internal communications. And whenever I scan anything or refuse, I see them everywhere, this sharp b\w noise that is not a part of a human world, but rather meant for machines. These technological shenanigans occupying the visual landscape is probably why I can jump from not wanting a smartphone myself to disliking others having them. And with how it locks you from pretty essential things I can see the next step is having government services only availiable in Zuckerberg’s Metaverse. That’s when I’d call quit on that fuckyverse.

  Also a tracker and a way to contact them at all times. I believe parents who let children take phones to school would feel a bit nervous if their kid would forget it at home one day.

  Specifically in The Trial dude was judged and persecuted by the state without anyone even explaining to him what he did.

  Did they came from Nier by any chance? That, previous and following games have a hard veiny imbalance for long pointy objects.

  My classmate who wore glasses before told me they did it for 20k roubles, like $200 today, so the prices are all over the place, but I’d keep your comment in mind and would research the clinic beforehand so it wouldn’t look like a makeshift tent with some retired soviet equipment.

  What’s the average cost in your place?

  My focus distance is around one meter, I can’t really tell whatever happens above it.

  If you use this laptop on the day to day basis - yep. But if a notebook is brought to you for a limited time to open one single presentation and show it on the screen\projector with a clicker I don’t really want to bother with carrying a mouse too. It’s needed for three clicks total.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Subscribe now for more clicks!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d like to unironically place this popup on public office laptops in order for users to collect themselves and stop being afraid of touchpads and keyboard commands.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Subscribe now for more clicks!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Every now and then there’d be a duck hunt bird flying over your windows and it would stop turning only if clicked. This is accumulative, meaning you being AFK gives you two, three ducks flying over your desktop, up to the arbitrary limit of 255.

  The truth I don’t want to believe in, lol. But seeing the latest elections and talking to people gives your points, not mine, a ton of weight. And I probably insist on a possible awakening\redemption arc because I don’t know what to do with that on the day-to-day basis if that’s not possible, if people selling me groceries are irredeameable bastards who cheer to the pain induced onto others, but that’s on me trying to stay sane.

  Either way, back to the OP: death to the russian empire, glory to Ukraine and fuck me for I’d probably only play that UE5 game on Youtube unless I sell some organs (:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl Potentially Banned in Russia Due To Potential 'Justifying Terrorism'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We may disagree with each other but I like to read your thoughts. I’m just pondering the idea of if Russia just have their government magically replaced with someone else’s, would the culture you say persist for more than a decade. I’m sceptical it would. It kinda erases the responsibility and agency of russian people themselves, making them look like empty vessels to what their powerholders put in them, but with how some thoughts about current war overtook them overnight, made them replicate these, makes me think they just don’t have a nurtured own position on most of things because they are degraded to lower levels of Maslou pyramid and thus don’t hold their own beliefs but constantly cowardly adapt to whatever is in the news.
