Wow, kinda same, I had the full image for a minute, but it cropped when I tried to zoom in and now even if I zoom back out its still cropped.
- Comment on Would-be City of Heroes successor, Ship of Heroes, decides to launch the MMO with a $45 price tag and a $15 monthly subscription and it's, er, going about as well as you'd expect 3 days ago:
Not saying it’s entirely cool, but wow base game purchase usually includes all expansions except the latest nowadays and that rolls (you get newer ones as more expansions are released) if you had an account historically.
- Comment on Anon dates a 19 y/o 1 week ago:
I’m just a bit older, but been there.
I could never get past it though. I have a daughter too, and it really just takes one experience where they really remind you of your kid and… yeah, I don’t think I can do this y’all.
- Comment on Youtube Has A Big Issue Right Now 2 weeks ago:
Do any of those have any kind of monetization? I legitimately don’t know, feel like Dailymotion might have something? Would be great if we just didn’t need to do that, but I don’t think people concerned about their views/earnings on one platform are going to move to one where it’s worse or non existent.
- Comment on If spiderman shoots webs from his wrists would not the tension of shooting and swingiing up a skyscraper pretty much break his wrist? Also why SpiderMAN shouuldn''t it be SpiderTEEN? 2 weeks ago:
Blah blah blah, ‘Quantum Realm’.

I wonder if he ever got to realize that his lasting contribution to humanity was going to be improving the sex lives of several entire generations.
- Comment on Corporate policy 4 weeks ago:
In my experience, it usually originates from India, but it’s catching on in the UK too.
- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 4 weeks ago:
You do kind of have to buy into it. Most of the engagement of the story is locked behind the various options there, and it can really be surprisingly good beyond the adult content.
Maybe don’t explore anything that’s a full on ick, but I would second that, if there’s something you’re at least neutral on I’d recommend giving it another shot.

Maybe its why the Andorians are blue?

Like… Which YouTube conspiracy videos? Hard to find ones that aren’t a mouthpiece for some sort of political party, I could use some expert recommendations.
- Comment on A small art gallery in Japan just happened to have these pictures next to each other. And then it morphed into a popular meme template 1 month ago:
This interpretation of the meme doesn’t exactly predate genAI, but it does predate genAI becoming good enough to do this. We did have some weird stuff that google was messing with back then that was vaguely similar, but I don’t think we even called it AI at the time. It mostly made things that looked like LSD hallucinations.
I bought a copy on etsy for someone shortly after pandemic lockdown back in 2020. It’s been awhile, but seem to remember the artist having several more meme interpretations in a similar style.

Sometimes it is just about choosing which fight you want to have today.
- Comment on [Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games 1 month ago:
Mastercard is living the corporate dream. They’ve colluded their way to a near monopoly and don’t have to care about the value of their brand. They just have to be invisible enough that they don’t pull heat for something or other from various governments.
- Comment on It would get old fast 1 month ago:
In a neighborhood like that, you’d probably end up with a fine and they’d charge you to ‘fix’ it for you.
- Comment on It would get old fast 1 month ago:
Fuck, yeah, I mean 7 friends seems like a lot to manage.
- Comment on hygiene 1 month ago:
Could be just poop, but combining old man smell, body odor and mold will make some gnarly stench. Still someone needs to get out the cleaning supplies.
- Comment on Outer Worlds 2 cut to $70 after backlash 1 month ago:
If you’re basing your value judgement on the price of similar games on the market right now then no, it’s very very unlikely to be worth 70. There are critically acclaimed open world games that will likely beat this on content and potential enjoyment / play time for $5-10 right now.
Realistically, we’re paying for the novelty though, if you’re desperate for something new it might work. I told myself my price point was $60, but there will probably be some sort of discount on the way to or shortly after launch day for the PC version.
- Comment on Everybody gets one [choose wisely] 2 months ago:
People have tried to setup a federated alternative to Tinder/etc and other things, but population is still real low and we’re still kind of weird. The sparse demographic info we have is also more than a bit skewed, it’s rough.

Don’t even have to make it symmetrical my friend, I am still down.
- Comment on Everybody gets one [choose wisely] 2 months ago:
Good is relative, you forget all coffee you’ve had previously and keep access to your current coffee. All other coffee is permanently worse than this one going forward.
- Comment on Everybody gets one [choose wisely] 2 months ago:
If it lets me breathe properly and consistently living in the south, I don’t even care, throw another one on the other side of my face too as a backup just in case.
- Comment on Max Hardcore and the Zodiac killer give updates on likely preventable flood deaths 2 months ago:
THAT MAN ATE MY SON.
I’m just saying, it’s hard to prove that he’s not the Zodiac Killer.
- Comment on Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development 2 months ago:
There’s been a rumor floating around that it never existed as a game anyways and that the footage they do have is faked. It’s definitely a bit out there, but with the way they’ve acted about it, I kinda believe it.
- Comment on In the side-scroller automation game Sandustry every single pixel is a simulated resource 3 months ago:
The demo feels fairly complete. I lost a ton of time in it, you could play it right now.
- Comment on As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG 3 months ago:
I already addressed that, but more than one party can shoulder blame at the same time, not everything is black and white.
- Comment on As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG 3 months ago:
It sounds nice, and yeah, that’s primarily publisher responsibility, but developers are allowed to talk to their publishers about pricing strategy. Framing it as if they have zero responsibility is a bit of a cop out. Limited comments and we don’t have the full story, but it makes it kind of sound like they didn’t even bring it up.
- Comment on RimWorld - Odyssey will bring spaceship building, exploration and a lot more content 3 months ago:
Yeah, not wrong, is kind of annoying, but is also cool. SOS2 has always been a special mod in rimworld, great concept but long gaps between breaking updates and fixes. I totally get it too, the scope on SOS2 is kinda crazy for a mod, it’s a lot. If you were going to replicate a rimworld mod as DLC, I can’t imagine a better one to pick.
I do wonder how the SOS2 team is reacting. I hope they take the opportunity to scale back on some of the pieces they have to maintain and try to bring some of the stuff that doesn’t make it into the official DLC into the newer versions.

It’s been too long, I don’t know if I remember my voice any other way.
- Comment on I am not a builder… but that does not seem right 3 months ago:
Nah, it’s been awhile, but I’ve been an electrician. When you get a foreman who has made it to that special level of asshole, your give a fuck starts to run out incredibly fast. Even if you’re not the kind of guy who would do this yourself, someone working with you probably is.
With that said, I don’t think this would pass code, but I’m honestly curious as to which part it violates specifically. The wire doesn’t look like it’s secured properly at least, but this might be one of those things where this is where they learn that they need to write some new passages.

Bear doesn’t view something our size as even remotely a threat. We’re assuming the bear isn’t hungry and just not that interested.
