  Honestly, didn’t know he was Jewish.

  His own personal identity is strong enough that I don’t think the two things are gonna get conflated

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This could be the costume for a New Super Hero. What would you name him?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  He flies by the seat of someone else’s pants!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alan Emrich, the game designer and writer who coined the term '4X,' has died⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  He’s been my buddy since master of Orion ❤️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the greatest joy you have gotten from a video game?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Mass Effect, almost certainly with plenty of honourable mentions to other games.

  Peak is the Dramatic Scene at the end of ME1 after the final boss. Really really moved by events on Tuchunka and Rannoch.

  Favourite moment outside Mass Effect, JC Denton saying “You’re gonna burn, alright”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the deal with male loneliness?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely agree.

  One of the ways we’ve gone wrong so far is that people do need some guidance at least on what is possible and acceptable.

  Just saying to young people “Be whatever you want to be” is unhelpful and confusing.

  Role models of all kinds and representation matter so people who are figuring these things out as they grow have inspiration, ideas, can see who they are reflected in the world around them so they can put a name to the feeling.

  If we can do that without shaming, blaming or excluding then people can find their way without the need of gender binary.

  Caveat, not everyone is a suitable role model. Some people are warnings, not examples.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you see what I see?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, the post has some shit in it, dunno if that is enough to make it shot 🤔

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So be good for goodness' sake!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Uranium is excellent, even the ways it kills you are cooler than coal

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games have you sunk the most time into?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Swtor and surviving Mars. Both around the 2000 hours mark.

  Fallout / NV and Skyrim, each around 1000 hours

  I do love those games.

  Did anyone ever fill out those registration cards?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some Older PC games I have, just wanted to share.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly.

  Old games come in large cardboard boxes to accommodate the manual, with disks rattling around inside.

  And in one case, a vacuum packed t-shirt too!

  You’re that much of an ****?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some video game quotes that is stuck in your head?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A man chooses. A slave obeys.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I screen, you screen, we all screen for I screen.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe the screen itself isn’t the point then?

  Did people who had to write things for a living ever enjoy books when they got home?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half as Hot⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s acute angle

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Probably⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sandi Mann sounds like a fun woman

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fead⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And you’d deserve it for saying “on accident”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are people impressed with SpaceX?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can I just add that “fucking Buck rogers” is an excellent phrase and all three words can mean sex and when combined they don’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not everything needs to be Art⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree.

  I have all these images in my head and zero artistic skills to create them.

  Thanks AI, if indeed that is your real name, for helping me with Visual aids for my teaching work!

  What’s the message here?

  Beauty fades, skills improve? 😁

  You proved them right.

  No such thing as a free lunch.

  They always want something for it, in this case it was to prove them wrong.

  You know that old saying “if a fish cries in the ocean, does it make a sound?”
