  z axis moment

  Not even killed, but even just made to think their plundering might have consequences.

  No wonder he thought he knew better than doctors - his penmanship was for shit.

  Yes! I was trying to explain this at a PoE 2 launch party but no one got it. I know Diablo is likely dated in a lot of ways, but unlike with other entries, I remember actually getting scared while playing it. Like it actually felt like overcoming an ordeal.

  A Butcher that stalked you from the shadows like a kobold would be terrifying

  Yeah that’s exactly the vibe I get but for some reason it makes me feel more charitable towards him. Maybe because it doesn’t trigger like an echo cringe in me because I’m not like that.

  (I’m just like directly insecure lol)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't know where I'm going to keep them all⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe even get a little bit of that silent body doubling boost ☺️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reading into something that is said⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  /s no see you’re not getting it, you cut all that stuff, but you also volunteer for a couple hours on Sunday so that you get to feel good about yourself. Nevermind how we scale that up to cover everyone you silly billy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pretty interesting when you really think about it.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe it’s because I know autistic people, but NDT’s obtuse starry-eyed splaining never triggered me as much as it seems to others.

  He’s an astrological trapped on a planet. What do you expect

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't know where I'm going to keep them all⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Do folks even library anymore?

  I always have at least one library book on the go. It’s literally free.

  TIL there’s a bingo TLD.

  Ohhhh. Thanks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beyond Good & Evil 2's troubled development due to "passionate managers" not getting along, says creator Michel Ancel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah it means things got pretty heated

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays spin the bottle⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Social stuff is hard for many people. I’d wager most people are not even consciously aware of social status, social transactions, etc. It’s not something that is really taught, so it’s no surprise when someone is blind to it.

  But if you ever feel bad because of what someone said or did, it’s possible you’re subconsciously reacting to a threat to your status (import and safety within a group).

  Why do you say you’re damaged?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays spin the bottle⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It makes sense to me as a parenthetical comment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays spin the bottle⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re probably a nice person and a decent hang. Really that’s what most people are looking for imho

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays spin the bottle⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ouch. But also,

  I once got angry and through a fit at a friend for buying me a surprise gift. I couldn’t even tell you why, but I was very upset.

  Try not to put too much stock in the bubbling brew that is childhood emotions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays spin the bottle⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you’ve got a good approach. I’m not fully allosexual myself, but it seems to me the most painful part of this would be the loss of esteem. To be excluded from anything so blatantly…

  People want to be liked. It means social safety, inclusion in a group. Sexuality is just one of its expressions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is an engineer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I get you. It’s hard to think otherwise when all the world is a grey mist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is an engineer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I also skipped my graduation. But just because I don’t like that kind of stuff.

  Why do you feel like you didn’t deserve to graduate? I’m sure you did deserve it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silent but Deadly: I met some of my closest friends through multiplayer games. Then a strange happening turned everyone (literally) speechless.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s an indication of ethnicity which is good enough for racists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Binary search⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And Montreal cops don’t have that great a reputation, at least from what I’ve heard.

  Only interaction I had with one was when they were handing out pamphlets about hiding your (white) headphone cords on the metro. I guess people were stealing iphones

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Binary search⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was pushing a cart full groceries home when two white guys walked right up and started looking in my shopping cart. Exactly at that moment a cop car pulled up beside us.

  That’s all they had to do. It was pretty good timing.

  Probably nothing would have happened either way, but still. It also occurs to me that the presence of anyone else would have likely had the same effect. Like a prof rolling up on a unicycle, or someone walking their cat, or even a lone horse. Perhaps even a bold raccoon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fashion is cyclical⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe it makes them taste neat? Also orcas are smart enough to just do stuff for the hell of it, so there’s always that yeah

  A philosopher should know better!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Obsidian's new first-person RPG Avowed channels Baldur's Gate 3 in one key way: "The core of RPGs that makes them special is missable content"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hadn’t really thought of it that way, but you’re right. I think it happened around the time every action genre starting introducing “RPG éléments” to the point that they became de rigueur.

  It was only natural that RPGs themselves would borrow back from the action genres that were borrowing from them.

  Anyway yeah, it’s nice to see a big RPG bring just an RPG.

  I’m a very chilly person who loses dexterity fast. I find some quick exercises warm me up pretty well.

  But yeah you’ve got to heat your space to a minimum of comfort

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wait, my body's own heat is enough? Always has been.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Zonal heating what what. My home office is the cat office during the day.
