I know what mental gymnastics is, don’t be condescending. It doesn’t apply here.

How would mental gymnastics come into this?

After reading through the whole post, I doubt that.

That same idea can get you into bad relationships. It’s better to find a partner with a level head.

I just saw several posts the last 2 days of a study that showed that if you don’t cum enough, your sperm becomes a bunch of dumb dumbs. Yes, I used scientific lingo for that, I’m sorry.

My 2 bedroom would be worth $1 mill in that location.
- Comment on Bethesda has no plans to slow down on paid mods, Todd Howard says he wants to get Creations 'in front of more people' 3 days ago:
My kid has been saying he hopes it happens. At the moment it’s just a fantasy of exploration and no school, and not some psychotic thing. I haven’t really explained yet how bad it will be, or how imminent it really is. Poor kid should get to be a kid as long as possible before he bears the weight of reality.

Apparently a study found that people with ADHD had a brain function similar to sleep during mundane activities… Then why am I constantly tired mfers?

Hell also have to pull off the VP debate and appear somewhat reasonable for 10 months. While still supporting the administration. It’ll be a balancing act, he can’t be a full on cheerleader and switch at the last second.

If you need that much handholding, why not just watch a playthrough on YouTube and save yourself the money?

Yes, while also adjusting prices after the lawsuit came about.
- Comment on Are achievements still relevant in 2026—especially when mods disable them? 2 weeks ago:
I only achievement hunt for certain games. Granted, I’m not a hardcore gamer or anything. I’m probably the guy that most hardcore gamers hate. I’m old school, in my day, you could just pick up a game and go. You’d peruse the manual a bit on the ride home from the store and you’d have a pretty good idea of how to play it once you got home. Some games today are still that way, hell some are so intuitive that you just pick it up and you already know how to play(spiderman), some haven’t changed enough in decades to be a problem. (Gran Turismo, call of duty, Madden). However even if you understood HOW to play a game, some were just hard AF. Everyone understood how to play the stampede level on lion king, very few could beat it.
The point of that previous paragraph is to put a perspective to my response. There weren’t achievements growing up. In fact, many games were so hard, or so badly designed that it was nearly impossible to beat unless you were so ridiculously dedicated that you wouldn’t have enough time to get into other games. I played the original command and conquer games and absolutely loved them but tropico has like 45 fucking menus and I just can’t remember or be bothered to learn every single minute detail. However, Gran Turismo only got more detailed gradually enough that it came naturally, even if I skipped several iterations. My point is, I try a lot of games, especially the free stuff on PS+, that I like the idea of, but when I play it I’m just like nah, fuck this like tropico, I even made my guy look like trump lol. Or games that are too big that I’m just not gonna try to 100% but I love all the same like cyberpunk. I really like DayZ but I never played the arma games and have no idea really what I’m doing. It’s fun but I know getting platinum just isn’t happening but I have fun.
So I guess my point is, I don’t blame anyone for not getting platinum. Currently I only have 4. All the insomniac spiderman games and fallout 4. I want to play a game for the game. Hunting trophies feels like a job, unless I realize I’m pretty close just by playing the game. So if someone wants to play a game without achievements being shown I wouldn’t judge. I like fighting games but won’t play DOA because I dont want to catch shit from my friends for being thirsty.
Also sorry if my post is a little disjointed and rambling. I’ve been writing this during commercials while also getting progressively more buzzed.

They really fucked up on their marketing by saying everything is an Xbox. Confusing non-gamers, annoying real gamers, and disappointing aspiring gamers.

Yeah, I enjoyed it for what it was.

It’s a very solid game that more people need to try. Especially as cheap as it is now.
- Comment on Why are we not getting stress relief games where we take our stresses out on normal people? 5 weeks ago:
Absolutely, there are references to IKEA, IT, fallout, evil Knievel, etc. it’s way more clever than I initially gave it credit for. When I first heard about it I thought it was like just running around on cliffs and eating grass. I had no idea you could be a total asshole in it and I love that about it.

It also has better graphics and takes more than an hour to complete. Plus great cultural and gaming references. When I first heard about the first game, I was like no fucking way that can be fun but after reading reviews, I bought it as a game I could play with my son, and we love it. (He’s a jerk to me on it tho)

Well fuck me with playing a lot of fallout then.

My stress relief game is fallout 4. You get so OP so quickly that it’s like “ok, I don’t like you, or your whole crew. I’m going to wipe you out of existence like Im a Mr clean magic erase sponge.”
It’s just satisfying release.

That takes like an hour to beat.
