- Comment on Do you cheat in video games? 1 week ago:
Honestly, I don’t even like using the word “cheat” to describe customizing a single-player gaming experience in a way not blessed by the developers. Terrafirmacraft (and maybe even just Gregtech) isn’t cheating at Minecraft; certainly the experience isn’t “easier”.
So, yes, I will play the game is whatever way makes for the most fun for me, whether that’s “cheating” or not to you.
For experiences that aren’t single-player, including (e.g.) anything with a global leaderboard (even at third-party one), I can understand why someone might choose to cheat, but I think I could deny myself those temptations. But, I’ve never been a “simple” cheat away from the top of a leaderboard or any other sort of acclaim or reward.

I’ve basically only been seeing the “blowing bubba” meme stuff, but I expect that we will at least get more evidence that Trump got handjobs from women that could not legally consent and were coerced into those acts. There’s long been testimony to that effect.
I hope it torPEDOes this whole Presidency, but I’m a bit tipsy just now.

Aw. Quesaritos are my favorite thing. I might never eat at a Taco Bell again.

Sorry, you got “sniped”; I’ve already given away my 3, and I won’t get more until the new year.
Maybe you can score one from someone else?

Same here on both counts.
First 3 replies to this post asking for a guest pass will get one from me. It’s a free month of viewing anything through Nebula. (I recommend “The Prince” and “Lynchpins”.)

I do believe she eventually grows to the age of consent, but I could be wrong.
Of course, I was saying “only female” is Sassette erasure. I was not saying “only mating prospect” is Sassette erasure.
I was just remembering her from my childhood. I wasn’t up on my Sassette lore. I found a reference that says she was created the same way Smurfette was, which surprised me.

This is Sassette erasure and I won’t stand for it! /s
- Comment on Who makes up the "serving size" on microwave food? 1 month ago:
Not usually an issue for me. My heartburn trigger used to be acids (e.g. pizza sauce) too close to bed, but after I lost some weight, I basically don’t get heartburn anymore.
That said, I very much avoid anything with much hot spice. Anything that I think might burn on the way out doesn’t make it in.
- Comment on Who makes up the "serving size" on microwave food? 1 month ago:
I think you are supposed to have a couple of vegetable sides to go with a meat+cheese+pasta lasagna.
(But, sure, lasagna is a pretty flexible term, you could make one where an appropriately sized portion is a complete, balanced meal.)

I thought I wasn’t going to like the combat of XIII, but I ended up really quite enjoying it most of the time. I thought the support roles AI was quite good, and eventually I figured out a rhythm of switching roles that felt really good.
But, I probably should go back and play some of the 7-9, maybe even X again. I picked up 2, 3, and 5 (and the portable Nintendo consoles to play them) and never made the time to play them.
I know some are on Steam, but I’m on Linux and I don’t know how well the Proton/SteamPlay works with them. (Plus, I need to finish up Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 before I buy yet another JRPG.)

Final Fantasy X. Hands down the best entry of the franchise (fight me)
I never finished X, it felt like it was dragging on and there were too many unskippable scenes.
I actually preferred XIII, which I nearly 100%'d (I think I was one or 2 combats away from 100%) and even XIII-2 which I enjoyed, tho I thought the “post-game” was too heavy with loading screens. I never played XIII-3 (Lightning Returns).
In any case, FF VI is actually the best entry in the franchise. I know that because I played and beat it as a child. (/s)
(I was really hoping FF XV [?; road trip with the boy band] would be good, but I played about 10 hours and had nothing good to say about it.)

R-Type Final – more than 100 fighters to unlock across a branching campaign, including at least one secret stage.
I was a little disappointed with R-Type Final 2, but I might need to just play more.

There are some games I can’t “git gud” at but I enjoy seeing the gameplay, so I watch edited playthroughs.

I go with a ponytail, and haven’t had even a trim in 2 years.
If I had my preference I’d go in about once every few months to have more vivid hair dye applied, and get a trim then.

Yeah, there are certainly ways of preparing eggs that aren’t allowed in 24-hour diners (no line cook is doing “Scotched” egg next to your bacon), but poached or boiled are both allowed most places, on top of the normal fried options (sunny-side, over-easy, over-medium, over-hard) and scrambled.

The increased mass increases the force of gravity on the outer particles which ends up reducing the radius more than the increase due to the layer of new hydrogen, IIRC.

Wow! Between BG3, CO:E33, and Slik Song, all the AAA lies are falling away. They don’t have to cost the user an arm and a leg, they can be beautiful works of art and love from small(ish) teams, and they can be an experience that is so rich in player choice it’s practically unique and highly replayable.
- Comment on Stardew Valley will be getting another update after all 3 months ago:
~40M copies, ~8B ppl, so ownership rates are about 2.5%.
You might meet one of the lucky 10k that learn about Stardew Valley today, and you can enable them with a gift purchase.
- Comment on Stardew Valley will be getting another update after all 3 months ago:
My solution for this feeling is to gift copies to others. I figure that worst case I support ConcenedApe and best case I help spark more Stardew joy.
(Right now, I’m between jobs, so I can’t buy for you, other readers.)
