- Comment on Is trying weed edibles worth it? 3 days ago:
Alternatively, many people who try THC the first time don’t feel anything. Because it’s not THAT big of a change so you don’t realize what’s happening. Unless you green out of course.

I really liked the first 80% of Firewatch. The last 20% though… I guess I didn’t hate it, but I also really didn’t like the switch in tone. Without giving spoilers, the ending left me feeling kind of disappointed with how normal it was. I remember finishing the game and immediately going to look if there was an alternative ending, because certainly the game wouldn’t just end like… That.
Like, imagine working on a big murder mystery where a man was found dead inside a locked room with no windows. You gather tons of clues, interview countless people searching for a motive, spend a lot of time putting together all the clues and… It turns out he simply tripped and hit his head.
Like, there’s still a mystery. There’s still a good story. It’s not even a really bad ending, it’s just not nearly as exciting as where you thought it would lead.

Abiotic Factor is not a bad game, but holy shit is that such a different game.
Thats like if someone was craving chicken noodle soup and you say “just have chili”.
- Comment on When people recommend Brave browser. 1 week ago:
Neither does Brave unless you specifically opt in to those services. It’s open source, you can check for yourself.

Someone hasn’t ever bothered to read past headlines.
- Comment on When people recommend Brave browser. 1 week ago:
It’s a bell curve situation.
Those who are uniformed don’t have anything against Brave and would consider it a pretty decent browser.
Those aware of the controversies hate Brave and want it to die.
Those who have taken even a moment to dig into the actual “controversies” and ready beyond hyperbolic headlines don’t have anything against Brave and would consider it a pretty decent browser.

He also created JavaScript, but I don’t see people getting upset and telling others to not use JavaScript.
- Comment on I think this is the first war we aren't hiding by bad guy vs good guy scenario. So lets say the US and allies get control of the oil..how do that solve dependence on it? 1 week ago:
Yep, even in 2003 it was about controlling/disrupting the oil markets a lot more than the US personally wanting more oil. But that’s a more difficult concept to grasp than “US wants peoples oil!” so that’s the message that spread!
- Comment on it is me, I am the autistic child 1 week ago:
Yes. You’re right. It is usually the case that the people who are acting shitty and dismissing the experiences of a large swath of the population due to their ignorance AREN’T actually the ones who feel bad about it! Good job piecing that together, kiddo!
- Comment on That's the feeling. 1 week ago:
Got a friend who is way better at tech than I am, he made the switch to Linux about a month ago. Seems like it’s a constant battle between him and his OS. Settings will randomly change with no explanation. Programs will refuse to run. The other day we were playing a game and suddenly his mouse sensitivity shot down to like the lowest setting possible. He didn’t manage to get it fixed until the next day.
Shit like that is what keeps me from moving to Linux. I already get headaches when I have to troubleshoot an obscure issue I have on Windows; combing through dozens of message boards and YouTube videos from years ago with outdated advice or solutions that don’t work. I can just imagine having to do that almost every single day, but having even less resources because there are fewer people using my exact set up and having my exact problem.

Backing into a spot is safer. Not just because you are less likely to hit something on your way out, but because in case of emergency, you are able to get out quickly.

By the destruction of the Death Star alone, Luke has a higher body count than Anakin did at 22, saved the Rebellion, and became a decorated war hero. And Luke did that within, like a week?
Meanwhile Anakin had been building up to that point for years, and was only a General because all Jedi were Generals. Other than becoming a Jedi, it’s not like he did anything specifically to earn that position.

19th century rural life consisted of you and your family living on barely more than subsistence farming and not seeing or interacting with anyone outside your family or immediate neighbors for months at a time.
- Comment on It was always my favorite spot to play golf and then I see this new sign that they put up 3 weeks ago:
You might think he was joking, and maybe OP was, but I’m certainly not. Graveyards are a massive waste of space. Respect for the dead is a really fucking weird and pointless thing our society does.
They are dead. Dead. They deserve as much respect as the ground beef you have in your freezer. There is no point in preserving their remains, or laying them in a multi-thousand dollar casket, or having a spot in the ground that will become unusable for other purposes. They. Are. Fucking. Dead. That’s not them anymore. It’s dead meat. It’s fucking asinine to waste so many acres of land on dead meat.

- Comment on Uncolored kobold :) 3 weeks ago:
Aww, I love this. I have a soft spot for Kobolds.
I made a series of one-shots that I DM for my group between main sessions that focus on an all Kobold party and their neverending quest to become real dragons, with each of them having a different plan on how to actually make that happen. They all have different dragon ancestry traits (tiny wings, breath attack, thicker hide, etc.) and they constantly bicker about which one is the “most dragon”.
All the sessions are more silly than serious and typically revolve around their own ignorance of the world at large. Like plotting to attack a “dragon” that was really just a large puppet used in a festival. Or planning an elaborate heist to steal a treasure hoard, but it’s just a bunch of coins from a fountain. Once they successfully hijacked and took over a fancy ship (because it had a dragon on the sails) only for them to quickly give up when they realized none of them knew how to swim, much less sail.
My players all really get into it and play them as horrible little monsters. I love them so much.

Then you open the bottle and find it’s filled with different types of pills of various sizes, colors, and markings.
“Umm… So which one of these do I take?”
And then you get 20 different answers.

- Comment on Lemmings, please give us your info dump. 4 weeks ago:
For people who think they’re winning by fucking with scammers, unless you are tying up hours of their time, you are doing the opposite by engaging with them. And even if you tie up hours, they aren’t really losing.
Obviously, falling for the scam is their ideal outcome, but ANY engagement beyond silence, a generic VM, or a disconnected/fax line marks your number as ‘active’ which can then be sold to other scammers.
So they still get a profit, and your number winds up on more scamming lists.
We are also getting close to the point where it won’t even be an actual human you’re talking to, it’ll just be some AI, making engagement even more useless.
If you get a call from an unknown number and you don’t have call screening, answer and SAY NOTHING! Not hello, not “may I ask whose calling”, mute your phone so they don’t even get background noise. The only numbers they can’t get anything out of are the ones that are brick walls.
- Comment on Mewgenics becomes the most-played roguelite ever on Steam 4 weeks ago:
Gotta wonder where Binding of Isaac falls on the list since it’s been out so long and it’s players tend to be the ones that put hundreds, if not thousands, of hours into it.
- Comment on Am I a joke to you? 4 weeks ago:
Yea! What gives? People will eat a wonderfully cooked and prepared steak but turn their nose up at an unseasoned chunk of raw beef. They also prefer soft bread over raw flour. Gosh, it sure is a mystery why people have these preferences!

Chiming in to say Sea of Stars. Absolutely gorgeous pixel graphics and music, and a true love letter to old school JRPGs. It gave me nostalgia for something I didn’t even know I lost.
- Comment on Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia? 1 month ago:
A goal to work toward. A hope that if we keep fighting, there will eventually be a future where people don’t have to fight. That there is a path toward humanity reaching it’s peak, rather than an endless sisyphian struggle until our extinction.
It’s not “things could be fine without struggle or setbacks”, Star Trek makes it VERY clear that it was not a smooth and easy path toward fully automated gay space communism. It’s history of humanity is riddled with wars and uprisings and cultural slides backwards. But there is the idea that there could be a better future someday. Where greed and inequality are almost foreign concepts in society. Where science and reason finally win out against superstition and ignorance.
It may be a fantasy, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to hold onto a belief that things will not always just continue to be shitty forever. Never forget the words that can make a happy man’s joy turn to ash, or a sad man’s misery into hope:
This too shall pass.
