- Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games? 1 week ago:
I don’t think I had the timer, I don’t actually remember there being a choice for one. I think I’ll give it another go until I get a few more upgrades, in retrospect I might not have gotten very far at all, I have no recollection of coolant lines. Thanks!
- Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games? 1 week ago:
Yeah, that’s how I like to play in general as well, yet… I guess maybe the core gameplay just isn’t for me. I might give it another go and see how it is after getting more upgrades though. Thanks for the response!
- Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games? 1 week ago:
I started this game but got bored a couple hours in and I can’t really explain why. In theory it felt like a game I should really like but maybe something about the pacing? Do you think it takes a while to get really good and maybe I should try putting more time in or is the way it is at the start pretty much the same the whole way through?
- Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games? 1 week ago:
Yeah, for me I always end up starting a new colony after getting to rockets. It’s my brain that can’t keep up with the colony past that point
- Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games? 1 week ago:
I asked a similar question quite a while back. What ended up feeling good for me from the recommendations was Oxygen Not Included surprisingly. I thought it would be too much but just trying to figure things out on my own was fun, and I found myself falling asleep to thoughts of plans for my colony. Surprisingly addictive and chill, maybe because I could pause and think anytime things started going wrong.
But I also gotta recommend Outer Wilds if you haven’t played it already. Exploration, mystery solving in a chill solar system environment. Go in blind is the best advice for that game but I found it super chill and relaxing.

He was raised by an Indian family in Malaysia. Really fun teacher, he could switch between different accents very easily and naturally, but an Indian accent was his default way of speaking
- Comment on Anon has a unique origin story 4 weeks ago:
I had a professor who looked Chinese but spoke with an Indian accent. Similar story. Made sense he got into linguistics

As a non-american, yup…
- Comment on Is china as bad as america makes it out to be? 1 month ago:
I have family in China, I have family in the US, and I live in neither. Your average person just goes about their lives no matter where. You can be a political activist and go about your business in the US but you can’t in China (and some other countries I’ve spent a few years in). Where I’m at, I can get spinal laser surgery and pay absolutely nothing out of pocket and well, US healthcare is memed the world over. Different countries, different worries.
Governments and politics is one thing, but getting by as average people, I feel we all just do our best no matter where we are.
- Comment on Europa Clipper Launch Live Stream (Liftoff at 12:06 PM ET) 2 months ago:
Didn’t realize this was happening right now! Thanks for sharing.
Nice clean launch, can’t wait to see what kind of data it collects. Been hearing for years that Europa has the potential for life and stuff, wonder what Clipper will be able to tell us about that
- Comment on Players are now less "accepting" that games will be fixed, say Paradox, after "underestimating" the reaction to Cities: Skylines 2's performance woes 2 months ago:
Yeah, hard agree with what they’re saying and like the fact that they’re delaying prison architect 2 in light of that.
Lately and because some early access games have fight my eye, I’ve been thinking about how I don’t have as much time for gaming and want the complete experience right away. If I play a game before it’s fixed or before all the content is out, most likely I’ll never play the game at it’s best because I’ve moved on already.

Ooh, I bet Gwyneth Paltrow would be into it!
- Comment on Anon finds the culprit 2 months ago:
I’ve been reading research on the gut micro biome for years and all this stuff related to it’s effects on the brain and overall health. We joke, but I legit don’t think we’re too far from pro and pre biotic enemas becoming a regular treatment
- Comment on What are the pros and cons to buying a smart watch from temu? 2 months ago:
Yeah, exactly. A buzz in my pocket, pull out the phone, see a bunch of different distracting stuff vs glance at my wrist, know it’s a casual message from a friend I can respond to later or in rare cases, something I need to deal with immediately. It’s a lot less mental energy
- Comment on What are the pros and cons to buying a smart watch from temu? 2 months ago:
Cheap but probably won’t work I’m guessing?
If you really want a cheap smart watch there’s a bunch of reliable ones worth looking into rather than getting something random on temu. I haven’t tried the Pine Time but it looks good if you like fiddling with the tech.
If you can put up with Xiaomi they make a ton of different options. I used a Mi Band for a few years and it kinda did what I wanted it to do better than my current Wear OS watch does
- Comment on What are the pros and cons to buying a smart watch from temu? 2 months ago:
For me personally, I want to limit interactions with my phone by reading notifications on my wrist, only allowing certain apps to send notifications through, and maybe sending a quick reply through the watch if needed.
That said, most smart watches now are overcomplicated bloat, it’s all been downhill since the Pebble Time IMO
- Comment on How do you set up wake up alarm and not miss it ? 3 months ago:
Smart alarms on a smart watch. Set a time window where it’ll wake you up at an optimal time in your sleep cycle. Been using the one built into Sleep as Android for years, which another person also mentioned, but a lot of smart watches have smart alarms built in
- Comment on How do you set up wake up alarm and not miss it ? 3 months ago:
I second this, been using it for years.
The smart alarm feature that senses when you’re already moving around a bit is great too, especially when used with a smart watch/fitness band of some kind
- Comment on How many squirrels do you think you could take in a fight to the death? 3 months ago:
If they’re all ganging up at once, coming from all directions, I feel like it wouldn’t take that many to nip you in the nasties and go for the jugular.
Assuming there’s some kinda animal instinct where they know to go for vulnerabilities (some animals know to aim for hamstrings and necks right?) I’m not sure I could handle 10 unarmed and in regular clothes
- Comment on What should I know about using a wheelchair for the first time? 4 months ago:
I recommend the style of crutches that don’t go to your armpit, forearm crutches. I was on crutches for months a few years back and that was much more comfortable for me at least.
forearm crutches than the armpit kind.

I wanted to bring up something like The Broken Earth series, but I suppose some people would find that woke too
- Comment on Anon plays Persona 5 months ago:
You joke but we’ve literally gone to Comiket together and compared hauls after, conventions and stuff were a big part of how we got to know each other (get yourself a partner with similar interests!). I forget exactly what we got but I know we both had questionable stuff with school uniform wearing characters. We were in our 20s so didn’t feel as creepy, but same issue as I mentioned before, a lot of good stuff is made around young people, but I’d love more good media with actual adults as leads.
- Comment on Anon plays Persona 5 months ago:
I’ll check it out! Thanks for the recommendation
- Comment on Anon plays Persona 5 months ago:
My wife and I both like anime content, but yeah, the high school stuff has been making me uncomfortable on some level for quite a while to the point where I don’t talk about anything anime related with people unless I KNOW their into it already.
I really want more good stories told with older characters. For romance stuff there’s a lot of good office worker stuff like Sweat and Soap, Wotakoi. Action stuff is getting away from teenagers more with Kaiju no. 8 and Sakamoto days. But yeah, so much stuff is written for and therefore about teenagers and kids and it’s making us older weebs feel left out and creepy IMO… I get that “coming of age” is an important universal theme but still
- Comment on Unoriginal sins: why does Russell Crowe keep making exorcism movies? 5 months ago:
Maybe a hot take, but I liked The Pope’s Exorcist, hit all the right classic-supernatural-horror buttons for me. Didn’t know about this newer movie but now I wanna watch it
- Comment on Chevrotain 5 months ago:
You joke, but in Malaysia, they do have a car named after the local word for mouse deers, kancil (the “c” is pronounced as a “ch”). I learned to drive in one of those.looks like this

- Comment on CD Projekt Red still 'don't see a place for microtransactions' in singleplayer games 8 months ago:
Hell yeah.
Plus, was just having this thought recently, who needs micro transactions in single player games when mods exist? And CDPR has been great with mods.
Even if it’s multiplayer, I can see non performance enhancing mods being OK, which then throws things like mtx skins out the window.
Only micro transactions I’ve done have been on f2p games where I enjoyed what I was playing and wanna give money to the developer.
