Was after Postal 2

Whales seem to have mastered that!
- Comment on Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding 3 weeks ago:
For a while, meta progression felt like a clever way to keep games fresh. You’d unlock new gear, perks, or passive bonuses between runs, and that sense of forward motion made failure feel productive.
Sounds like regular progression?

In which country are you making the comparison?
Because that matters to chocolate
- Comment on Anon looks back 4 weeks ago:
One of the things that stops people making changes and choices of their own accord is fear.
Fear of the unknown, the uncertainty. Anon had a choice to make, they made it.
If they’d made a different choice, their life would have been different. Maybe better maybe not, certainly different.
- Comment on The man who drove his car into 100 people should be able to drive again, Judge rules. 4 weeks ago:
This feels like we’ve buried the lead.
Would denying him a license stop him using a car to murder?
I’m sure he wouldn’t want to break the traffic laws.
- Comment on Almost a quarter of UK GPs are seeing obese children aged four and under 5 weeks ago:
Can we take collective responsibility for our society without taking any collective blame?
Need to split it out. Take out the blame and punishment, and see it from a grown up point of view.
Coz I hear you, I’m not taking the blame for stuff I had no control over. That makes no sense. I owe nobody anything for that stuff.
I am over okay with taxes, or other measures, which address society’s needs even if they aversely affect me. Ws we have a shared responsibility to make society a better place.

What other game lets you…
Stun Gun till they wet themselves.
Pour petrol on them while they’re down
Flick a match on them when they get up
Piss on the corpse when they fall down
Wonder if there’s something my subconscious is telling me?
😁

Too many fake tits on there
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Not for me.
I get paid for 8 hours per week, at a rate thats roughly equivalent to the national average wage, to be available for eight hours on three different days.
I almost never actually do eight hours of actual work, so I feel like I’m okay with this deal. I turn off the phone evenings and weekends, I’m not the only one who can help with stuff most of the time.
I do get that a lot of stuff about being on call is abusive and exploitive, but most of the world is not the US.

Especially when you’re “on call”

Maybe dude works from home.
I gotta check my phone pretty Sharp during working times, even if I’m not working, in case I’m needed
- Comment on DLC is sometimes Downright Ludicrous Commercialism 1 month ago:
I think my infrastructure can achieve this. 😏
- Comment on DLC is sometimes Downright Ludicrous Commercialism 1 month ago:
Interesting. Might check that out
- Comment on DLC is sometimes Downright Ludicrous Commercialism 1 month ago:
Absolutely agree.
Something like Surviving Mars released a decent complete game.
New DLC added more features than Genuinly felt like additions, not fixes for an incomplete game.

- Comment on Should speakers hum when they're connected to a stereo, but the volume of is turned all the way down? 1 month ago:
Someone should make an Amazon for used gear, with the same fast shipping and return policy. BC you are right and the new stuff is often such low quality.
That’s eBay, isn’t it?

I’m asking myself whether the humans in Australia became extra dangerous in order to acclimate 🤔

Most enjoyment for me since Voyager.
Best of the new stuff but I feel mean to lower decks for saying that.
- Comment on Rainbow Six Siege Has Been Hacked Again, And Players Are Reportedly Getting 67-Day Bans 1 month ago:
I was confused by your metaphor so was genuinely trying to clarify!
I couldn’t work out if you thought they’re wasting resources on Linux or should be investing in Linux
- Comment on Non-Americans: what would you do in a situation where a foreign country run by a extremist dictator began producing nukes? 1 month ago:
Personally?
I doubt the government, military or intelligence agencies are going to be asking for my input.

Can you clarify, are they focused on Linux or ignoring it?

Oh, cheese on the noodles?
I like it.
- Comment on My life has been way better since I started keeping a cursory view of headlines once a day 2 months ago:
You can either read all the news and talk about all the things that should be happening.
Or read just enough to get on with doing something useful in the world and avoid getting yourself stuck or depleted
