Oh yeah piers Anthony introduced a young me to some real kinky ideas long before I otherwise would have had exposure to them. I don’t think any harm was done though.
- Comment on Why are we not getting stress relief games where we take our stresses out on normal people? 1 week ago:
But that’s the point, the only reason you would need to ‘cause chaos’ is because you’re willfully subjecting yourself to a shitty environment. That’s like getting yourself thrown in jail just because it would be super satisfying to break out. Just leave the bullshit in the outside world, don’t take it home with you and concoct weird revenge fantasies about it.

Idk man you’re right, cooked broccoli is still good even with the pubes but have you ever tried to eat a raw piece of broccoli by itself? I prefer raw veggies and the pubes are just intolerable to me personally. Even cooked I think the stalk is better but definitely when it’s raw I can’t stand the pubes.
- Comment on Which is it?. 2 weeks ago:
Ew I don’t understand pube eaters at all (with regards only to broccoli, I don’t always mind a nice bush). The broccoli florets or whatever are so dry and end up tasting bitter and just taking forever to eat. I only like the shaft but the shaft is probably better than cucumber in terms of a nice crispy veggie that you can just bite into and chew raw. Raw broccoli florets are inedible unless you have like a liter of ranch which kinda defeats the purpose.

I would much rather pack my shit and get out than have to wait for the elderly/drunk/high school cashier to do everyone’s groceries and then do mine too. What a fucking waste that is. Plus I always had my own bags even before they stopped giving away the plastic ones, and I don’t want to have to explain to a cashier that yes everything will fit in that bag you just have to do it right.
- Comment on people with ADHD self-medicate with amphetamine, overly sensitive empaths self-medicate with alcohol, what does people with OCD self-medicate with? 3 weeks ago:
I disagree that having a tripsitter present makes it not self-medication. If the substance isn’t being prescribed or administered by the third party, and they aren’t medical professionals then it’s still self-administered even if there’s a third party there. So then it becomes a question of intent. Why are they taking it? If it’s because it helps or treats some aspect of themselves that they are unhappy with then it’s medication. I’m genuinely curious why you’d think hallucinogens wouldn’t fit into that category, or if it’s just the presence of a trip sitter that you think negates the medicinal aspect.
- Comment on people with ADHD self-medicate with amphetamine, overly sensitive empaths self-medicate with alcohol, what does people with OCD self-medicate with? 3 weeks ago:
Amphetamine is speed, it’s not the same as meth and is prescribed alot for ADHD(or other similar chemicals). Meth actually can be prescribed for ADHD but isnt usually. Lots of undiagnosed people with ADHD self medicate with all kinds of stimulants, amphetamine, dexamphetamine, methylphenidate… Idk why you think they wouldn’t, these pills are widely available and for people without a prescription they offer the relief they need so badly so of course they’re gonna self medicate with them. I’ve known people who self medicated with caffeine pills or energy drinks if they didn’t have an alternative. I’d bet a lot of people who end up addicted to meth started out because it helped their neurodivergence.

Just get it from an alternative source and play it locally. That’s more fun anyway and far too few games still have split screen coop.

- Comment on me_irl_conflict 3 months ago:
I really doubt anything so profound crossed his desk thst you could in any way say that it was responsible for his ideas. He might have been influenced slightly by things he saw but he just as easily could have had those ideas triggered by some other stimulus. His brain just worked differently, it allowed him to see the patterns and numerical relationships that no one else could. Give me one example of some technology from the early 1900s that was so paradigm shifting that it could have influenced relativity? I guarantee almost every patent he saw was trash.

Theres literally an option in the linux mint installer to just wipe the drive and install, and it creates all partitions for you, if you dont understand what a partition is. You literally dont have to do anything except click the bubble and choose next.

If you want like a mixed drink or a pop out of a glass while lying on the couch or in bed a straw is useful too, thats the only time i ever use them. My fiance likes a ton of ice in everything she drinks so she uses our metal straws for everything. I still prefer drinking out a can or a bottle with a screw on cap for most things when im lying down.

Im trying to understand how the top part of your comment is supposed to work? So if someone is stealing a low range product you tell them about the better product in the hopes that they’ll suddenly decide to spend even more money on it than what theyre stealing? Whats to stop them from just stealing the better thing?
- Comment on engagement 4 months ago:
Unless something is REALLY funny or unexpected, i personally don’t really laugh anyway. Especially with a meme or online post, my brain just kinda goes ‘ah thats funny’. This can happen just as easily after a joke has been explained, or if i have to look something up for context. Once i have the context my brain still goes ‘ah thats funny’ and now ive stimulated my curiousity AND my humor.

I mean the cost of living going up in all those other ways is also evil. Corporations soullessly sucking every possible shred of profit they can from a suffering population ks evil. Its not just Nintendo but they’re defjnitely part of it and the fact that every other corporation is also evil doesn’t absolve them in any way.

- Comment on We can't keep making videogame stories for players who aren't paying attention to them 6 months ago:
Games with complicated or involved stories just need to go back to having a comprehensive log or journal. That used to be a staple of big games, to the point where it could take you days to read all the lore and journal entires. That might not be fully ideal for those adult gamers either but theres definitely a comfortable middle ground where your active missions page has a little brief for each objective telling you who gave the quest, what they wanted and why. Lots of games these days can have like 20 active quest markers and give you no information about any of them beyond some random npc you talked to once wants 10 of something for some reason.
- Comment on How much does storage speed affect your games? 6 months ago:
I expected a much bigger hit to performance when i got a 1TB sd card for my steamdeck and initially only was putting small indie games on there, but after gradually moving up to higher performance games and not really noticing a hit, i just throw everything on there now. I think most games these days are more limited by other factors than storage speed.
- Comment on Why some games on Linux, SteamOS / Steam Deck have broken videos and what you can do 6 months ago:
Also i think there may have been a couple games ive tried where proton-GE didnt automatically fix this. In that case, use winetricks and install the full video codec package. A combination of those two things have solved this issue with every game ive tried.
