  My eldest recommended mouthwashong to me and gotta say I’m proud to have raised her on PC correcrly

  Nearly shat myself laughing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the e-reader you would buy if you were in the market?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I recently somehow broke my Boox page, and I replaced it with a PocketBook Era. It’s my favourite device, great battery life, integrated with calibre like a dream and the OS is really nice to use after fighting android on the Boox.

  Becoming a dim, distant memory sadly…

  Glad I have a backlog of games, I can pick it up if and when it’s good/finished

  Narrator: they did

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon considers LASIK⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I got LASIK about 10 years ago. Can confirm both the visual experience of watching them laser/scalpel my lens off, as well as the highly unique smell of buring eye. Along with the painful light sensitivity that persisted for like a year. Hell I got a USB at the end with a video of the procedure to relive.

  Totally worth it though

  It’s been wild watching the tech grow since Atari 2600!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm genuinely sad about the Marathon situation⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you think that’s rough, growing up with the classic makes it really rough to see them force a generic extraction shooter into a beloved franchise for no reason

  They probably had it comin

  I’ll be doing my part defending Super Earth on Friday night. With a whiskey. On Bazzite, it runs fine on Linux.

  Blue prince, Bauldars Gate 3, little assasins creed 1 on the deck. Finished Dave the diver last week, it was great!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discussion Thread Saturday 19 😎 April 2025⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Surprisingly yes. We went off for a few months of Factorio space age, but it’s still going and a nice level of jump-in-and play that suits us. Mind you we have nothing to spend out resources on and only missing 3 warbonds, it’s just a nice gameplay loop

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discussion Thread Saturday 19 😎 April 2025⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s Friday, I’ve been helldiving with mates, had a few whiskeys, and it’s Easter with the family & egg hunt with the kids shortly. Things could be much worse than this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays old games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah that’s also true, tbh I’ve been notorious for not getting into’ anything - I don’t personally follow game news or hype much in the last 10-15 years, I’l wait until my friends pressure me into ‘you have to consume X!’, often well after it’s out and forgotten. I let my friends be the canary in the gold mine, still not sure if that makes me a bad friend… Has helped me avoid amazing TV shows that get cancelled/shit the bed though (still haven’t forgiven GoT producers)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays old games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah for sure, I’ve been fairly focussed on indies the last 5-7 years and only jump on AAA after it’s released and reviews are in/on special. I believe there’s only so large a human run corporation can be before it turns into an unmanageable mess and quality/focus of the product suffers, and most AAA are well past that point. Indies are the new small-medium sized fun Devs.

  Love painkiller, here’s hoping they don’t wiff this. That said, not getting hopes up just yet

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays old games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For sure! I definitely feel we’ve drastically slowed down but media is by no means dead. It can be harder to find the gems than before in some regards though.
