  I really wish Randy would shut the fuck up, because it seems like the actual devs really care about this game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They just couldn't say the word⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think “mating” is more effective. A minor double-take means you’re more likely to remember it. Besides, textbook writers should be allowed to fit in jokes where they can; their work seems dry as hell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨anon discusses car dependence⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I never thought about it like that! I did in fact buy the car specifically to go to the grocery store and don’t use it for anything else

  Instead of leveling up your vehicle, you level up the infrastructure as you progress the game. By the end, you’re just taking the public transit system to the finish line.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨redwoods⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Having done a Redwoods national park and Sequoia national park within a few days of each other early this summer, here’s my advice:

  Redwoods contain a lot of California Redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens), and they are super impressive. But Sequoia contains a lot of Giant Sequoias (Sequoiadendron giganteum), and those just boggle the mind. It’s like being on another planet. I very highly recommend The Congress Trail, which starts at the largest tree in the world (by volume) and continues through multiple groves.

  So do Sequoia second, or just Sequoia if you have to choose.

  Next up is “Cat’s in the Cradle” by Harry Chapin.

  I really liked the first game, but haven’t set up my base stations since moving. I’ve still got the OG Vive, and I’m kinda waiting to see whatever Valve’s got up their sleeve next instead of putting it together.

  Unfortunately, the VR space is so slow that I don’t think it’ll be hard to catch up on the masterpieces even if I wait.

  Chill! This is a common problem that must people have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does trump know he cheats at golf?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I read an article years ago where the author played golf with him. The cheating was blatant and obvious, but not malicious. Cheating was a given. Trump expected everyone to cheat, and to not do so was foolish. Anyone who didn’t cheat was a chump.

  While yes, Happy Tree Friends is probably not for kids despite how it might look

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck and SteamOS hit 20,000 playable games⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Too many games decide to be either horny or good; I applaud the studies that try to do both.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck and SteamOS hit 20,000 playable games⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s Stellar Blade. It came out as a PS5 exclusive a year or so ago but has just landed on PC like yesterday I think. It’s a souls-like from a new (to non-mobile games) Korean studio. Evidently the game is very good both as a game and at making people super horny.

  I haven’t played it, but I’ve been amused by some of the reviews.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Minecraft Movie' Envy Puts Gen Z Video Game Adaptations Front and Center⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “The biggest change that we’ve seen over the last few years when it comes to video game adaptations is respect of the source material”

  How did they go 30 years before trying that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How wil people react if Trump is right about Tariffs?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He won’t be right about tariffs because he (and you, I suppose) has a gross misunderstanding about how tariffs should be implemented. Tariffs are typically used to strengthen a local product. Say that we wanted to support Napa wine. We might introduce a tarrif on importing wines from our largest competitors. This would increase the cost of the foreign product in relation to the domestic product and encourage consumers to buy locally. So, why won’t this work if we just tarrif everyone for everything? Well, we don’t make everything so they’re isn’t a local option to buy instead. Not just for you, but for the companies that make the things you consume. Oh, then let’s just build up the industries to make everything. Even disregarding that we don’t have the ability to produce everything due to, well, climate and resources, that would cost many millions of dollars and years of investment before seeing a profit. Which is a nice idea if businesses had any faith that the tariffs are permanent, which they don’t not only because the current administration (likely lol) won’t be in power forever, but also because the current administration has said that they are willing to negotiate. So why bother making the investment when you can import again soon? And lastly, if we try to strong-arm everyone at the same time, they’ll just band together without us. They don’t need to trade with us if they have an alternative in a more profitable trade partner, and we’ve just incentivized the entire world to look for a better option than us. We did that. All at once. The idiocy is frankly astounding.
