- Comment on EA is shutting down BioWare and the next Mass Effect has been canceled 2 days ago:
Anthem was discontinued after like a month. They kept the servers open but gave up pretty much right away.
Which is a shame, because the gameplay was fucking tight as hell. I loved that game. It could have been the next Destiny if they’d just kept it around long enough. The only reason it was received so poorly in the first place was because the internet hate machine didn’t have enough fodder that month.

Maybe he’s just not confident in his own knowledge, and the context of talking about an OnlyFans convinced him that he’d misremembered the name.

Is that not a normal feeling? Because I felt that way long before things got this bad.
- Comment on Where did I go wrong? 3 weeks ago:
where they didn’t want other people to go like their secret fishing spots
If I were a sea monster this is exactly the rumor I’d be spreading. “It’s just an awesome fishing spot! Not my home or anything.”
- Comment on Where did I go wrong? 3 weeks ago:
That’s what I’ve always done when I draw old maps. Hope I haven’t been doing it wrong this whole time.

I appreciate the high effort.
- Comment on Don't 3 weeks ago:
I downvoted it because I don’t like when people misuse or overuse the phrase “cognitive dissonance”.

Definitely a difference, because I am a completionist. Especially when it comes to Zelda games.
just because I wanted to know what was on the other side
The problem is that the answer is “nothing”. There’s nothing on the other side. Just more scenery, maybe a shrine or another Korok. The core gameplay loop is still just Zelda, so there’s nothing they can do to populate the world with meaningful things to find.

I found that the rewards were almost always meaningful. Even if it wasn’t a weapon or a spell I could use, it was always something unique that I totally could build around.

For me, half the fun in Fallout is discovering some old building and piecing together what fucked up thing happened there.
- Comment on Is this true? 1 month ago:
Oh look, another Korok Seed. How meaningful and rewarding and not complete bullshit or anything.
- Comment on The line cook quietly handed me this 2 months ago:
My son pretty much eats his hot dogs this way. He eats a lot of foods this way. When he eats half a donut, it’s usually the top half.
- Comment on onions 2 months ago:
No, I’ve never smoked. I looked it up, and it seems the trend is generally that super tasters prefer real sugar over fake. Obviously everyone is different though.
But I can detect the faintest bit of artificial sweetener. It’s very unpleasant.
- Comment on onions 2 months ago:
I’m a super taster as well. Raw onion is a hard no for me, but caramelized onions are like a cheat code for making every meal delicious.
But you’ve got the artificial sweetener thing backwards. Super tasters tend to prefer real sugar and find the fake stuff cloying and unpleasant. I’d bite into an onion like it was an apple before I’d drink a diet soda.
Also, mayo is delicious.

Do you think maybe there’s a way to phrase that where you’re not saying that 2,000 innocent people deserved to die?
- Comment on Sony doubles down. Only responds to their investors, not the consumers. I've never bought a digital console title. That will continue. 2 months ago:
I think you’re underestimating the number of people who just don’t want to take on the secondary hobby of building a PC in the first place.

Zeus wouldn’t let him. Odysseus was fated to return home eventually.

Well what’s in them then? Did you run out of room on the shelf?

The top of that masher is clearly protecting the cube from the rain, so I’m not sure how the rain is expected to shoot the cube out as in option B.
A.

Last Christmas my daughter kept getting closer to figuring things out until one night she cryptically said, “I can’t wait until I’m an adult so I can learn about grown up secrets.”
“What kind of secrets are those?”
“You know, like if Santa wasn’t real or something.”
“Well if Santa wasn’t real, then we’d definitely want to keep that secret from kids like your little brother, so we’d never ever talk about it.”
“Oh yeah.”
Then she never mentioned it again.
It may have been our fault for doing way too many holiday activities. She must have met four or five different Santas that year.

It’s not really about the evidence. Once they figure it out you can get them to play along a little longer, but they know.

This is likely the best thing I will read today.

I like to go the extra mile. I uncensor shit emphatically.
A censored “shit” in a post about Star Trek? “SHIT” in big Star Trek font.
“Cunt” in a post about the UK? Enjoy your “CUNT” dressed in a union jack.
The censored word is “cock”? Here’s “COCK” in flesh tones with bulging purple veins on it.
Fucking lean into it.

Oh shit. That explains it for me too then.
- Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ?? 4 months ago:
Anthem is a goddamn masterpiece, and I will die on this hill. The graphics, the combat, and the traversal were all AAA quality. There just wasn’t enough fodder for the internet hate machine that month, so Anthem got tossed into it for some reason.

Yo.

Yes, that is a new fetish alright. Never heard of anyone into that before.
- Comment on As adults, do you still watch kids’ cartoons, either old or new? 4 months ago:
I have kids, so yes, I watch kids’ cartoons. Today it was DuckTales.
Without kids, I probably wouldn’t watch any tv except what my wife wants to watch. I’d always rather be playing a video game.

I’ve bought a PC before, so I know that you’re not being honest. Whether or not that’s on purpose, I’m not sure.
