  I’m not from the US but maybe, some day when I’m old and grey, I’ll visit one.

  While many (if not most) countries have national parks, the policies surrounding them are different. A simple thing like camping is often restricted in European parks, mixed land use is allowed so you are more removed from pure non human nature. As a result, the experience of visiting one may be vastly different - depending on what you are doing. American national parks are exceptional not because they are the only country that has them - which isnt true as you pointed out, they are exceptional because of the governing policies surrounding them.

  I’d surely visit one, before I left, because the experience isnt going to be the same in any other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Announce Virtual Game Cards (Digital Game Sharing)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t get why they needed a 14 day limit. Sounds half baked to me. Steam, although with its own limitations, still does a better job at game sharing.

  Pistols and rifles. There’s even this thing:

  I’m the same but I may just be getting older. Last game I was hyped for was Cyberpunk 2077 coming off of the stellar Witcher 3 and having followed both games I loved, W1 & W2. Sometime before it released, I just dropped all hype for it and haven’t felt the same after. Haven’t even played it yet either.

  Today, I let myself be pleasantly surprised by games I never thought I’d like. I really liked Death Stranding and I’m waiting for its sequel but still no hype… I haven’t even seen the trailer yet and I doubt I will… I’ll buy it and go in blindly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It wasn’t “my” Half Life but it was a damn good one. It felt true to the series and that brought a tear to my eye. The writing, the environments, the soundtrack all felt very Half Life without compromise. I didn’t like that it was a VR title but I understood why they went that route. In 2D, it would probably lack in depth (in more ways than one).

  I borrowed a VR set from a friend to play it and bought the game at 60% off, which it frequently drops to. I’d urge anyone who has a VR capable PC to try and play it some way but VR is always going to restrict access to this. I’ll probably play through it in 2d Mode (via mod) some day in the future to try and relive it.

  I preferred fable 2 over 1 because it had guns.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there mass protests in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  protest is storming and taking control of the representation of authority in the country.

  Jan 6. 2021… just the other side protesting though.

  Fence it, let it regrow and let lose a shit ton of chickens. Market free range eggs.
  If you lease it to a farmer, you’re no better than a landlord and I don’t see why the whole of lemmy doesnt start pissing on you right away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happens every time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Afaik its always going to have some parts of uranium right? 50% after one half life, 25% after two half lives and it will keep on halving practically forever (or till the last atom decays). In the end it comes down to when you consider it a negligible amount.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which game is it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I once went on a role playing server and it had really nice people on there. Everything was civilized too, they had police officers walking around lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inching closer to the grave every day⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If its good enough, the news of it will get to me eventually and I will see for myself.

  This is how I live now.

  This is what it means to be old.

  I’m 34.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wonder if the "money can't buy you happiness" people ever lived in a car.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good old Maslow. This is correct. The first two require money. As a single person without children, I’ve generally got the first two covered. I can not cover the third and I also feel like any amount of money will not help me either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vampire Survivors devs launch official wiki "free of ads, banners, and all of the junk that gets in your way"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Very nice to see. Might start playing again to 100% it (yet again) now that there’s an actual useful wiki for it. Always love to see pure media wiki usage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reception for Avowed has been very positive with Xbox and Microsoft, game director says⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Regarding the lack of romance mechanics, it just seems like they dont know how do romance then? Why would a character have to suddenly become a “yes man” once romanced? In any case, does the game really need such mechanics to begin with?

  I havent played it but from what I’ve seen, it looks like an action RPG - action first with some rpg mechanics. This is a safe genre to invest in, especially to offer on a subscription service because it is casual friendly. The drawback being it polarizes the more hardcore crowd and leaves them wanting more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sci-fi and fantasy are at odds in Split Fiction, which makes no sense⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The game looks fun, but I personally can not get into a world that switches between fantasy and sci-fi so much. The mix just isn’t my thing. Magic and tech don’t mix well in my head.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Billionaires shouldn't exist⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not op, and any Marxist feel free to step in, but 100% tax is technically communism. And I mean full final stage communism where money no longer exists. If income is taxed at 100%, then money no longer needs to exist since… well you never really see it. The tax is spent on everything. You work if you can and everything that can be, is provided for you. Purely from an economic point of view.

  Shoutout to a great top down racing game on deck: Circuit Superstars. Simple, cute, clean presentation. All racing, no fluff.

  Get a job in the forest industry and you’ll be: exercising daily and getting ripped. Sisyphus has a job, it was pushing a boulder up a hill for eternity. Personally, I’d go nuts because I crave mental stimulation.

  Thanks for this. Keep em coming.

  Bikes are awesome. I would love to experience the joy of waking up in the morning and riding a bike to work. No traffic, healthy and all that good shit. I live, however, 40min away from my work by car and 3 hours by bike, one way. I dont see this changing in the foreseeable future.

  He can do 20 more years. Weekend at Bernies is also possible. No crazy scheme is off the table in today’s America. Trump may also just be laying of the red carpet for some even crazier lunatic. Elon? Nothing is off the table at this point. Fuck me and the bleak possible future.
