Interesting, they never seem to ripen for me, but maybe I’m too impatient

If and only if they’re ripe.
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 is a great RPG that exceeded my expectations 2 weeks ago:
Glad to hear this. Years ago I worked with Obsidian engineers (who may or may not still be there, I have no idea) and I absolutely loved the systems they had built for their games. They were able to create games with a massive amount of content with a relatively small team of engineers, so I’ve always rooted for them.
I liked (didn’t love) and completed the first Outer Worlds but I thoroughly enjoyed Grounded - even though I never played through to the end game. I’ll definitely give this one a go.

I love that some asshat was triggered by you calling them an asshole and downvoted you.
- Comment on For a while Microsoft was the King of PC stuff. How come they didn't just cozy up to the PC but had to do the XBOX and pretty much lose their ass with all the cash grabs? 4 weeks ago:
and pretty much lose their ass with all the cash grabs?
In 2017 Microsoft’s gaming division had about 9 billion dollars of revenue.
In the last fiscal year (ended in July) that revenue was 23 billion dollars.
Sony: 31 billion dollars
Nintendo: 9 billion dollars? (harder to find numbers)Microsoft still has 95% of the market share for PC operating systems for gaming: …steampowered.com/…/Steam-Hardware-Software-Surve…
I think they’re doing okay. Just because they’re not number 1 in consoles doesn’t mean they’re dead. 30 million units sold of Series X/S isn’t exactly losing their ass. And all console fans should cheer for MS to keep going. It’s great that Steam Deck and the like are pushing into the market now, but losing Xbox would be terrible. Price, innovation, and quality would suffer if Sony didn’t have MS nipping at their heels.
- Comment on How the hell are there already shirts, hats and even jerseys made for the winning teams of some championships? 4 weeks ago:
It’s not really important history to be fair.
The bigger deal is it can fuck with local economies:

While exporting used clothing helps repurpose material from the U.S., it can seriously undermine the textile industries of developing countries.
And still harms the environment:

In addition to clogged drains, each day about 154,000 lbs. of used clothing leaves Accra’s main garment market bound for a dump on the banks of the Korle Lagoon.

Well, if they subscribed before, why wouldn’t they stay subscribed at the same price with the same features? Why is it a “narrow raft”?
- Comment on Is there a drink with taste of energy drink without caffeine? 1 month ago:
Yes but when you ask a question in no stupid questions you are prompting a discussion. And now we’re discussing how water changes the taste of food for you, and you’re willing to drink sugary, unhealthy drinks with your dinner instead.
It sounds like you’re extremely addicted to sugar.
- Comment on Is there a drink with taste of energy drink without caffeine? 1 month ago:
Sorry, water makes your food taste weird, but energy drinks are just fine?
- Comment on Is there a drink with taste of energy drink without caffeine? 1 month ago:
Other things give you energy…

- Comment on Alcohol is "amazing" - Kurzgesagt 2 months ago:
One nice thing I’ve found with quitting is that it’s a lot cheaper… Club soda with a lime wedge is about the cheapest thing (other than tap water) you can get at a bar/restaurant, and a lot of places give refills for free. At first I didn’t love the taste, but beer was an acquired taste too! And if I do get non-alcoholic beer or cocktails, I tend to not want as many, so I naturally save money there too (on top of them usually being a buck or two cheaper.)
- Comment on Alcohol is "amazing" - Kurzgesagt 2 months ago:
I wasn’t the first, but slowly my friends are all starting to quit drinking and we still hangout regularly. I still go out with friends that drink and make sure I have a non-alcoholic beverage at hand at all times. Any “friends” that make a big deal about it (which isn’t very many tbh) are cut out of my life now…
Conversations are definitely different than they used to be and our get togethers tend to be shorter, but we’ve slowly been adjusting and we do things a little differently now. More games, destinations other than a bar, etc.
I’m not belittling how you feel, it’s different for everyone. Just letting you know that it can be different.
