If I buy a physical board game, I can keep playing it as long as I still have the game in my possession. Video games should be no different.

I made a sensible email address with my last name followed by my first initial when google mail first started. Young people are always in awe of the fact that I got to have my name as my email address without adding anything extra to it.

- Comment on Harambe's death changed everything 3 weeks ago:
Harambe was a western lowland gorilla who lived at the Cincinnati Zoo. On May 28, 2016, a day that will live in infamy, a three-year-old boy visiting the zoo climbed under a fence into the outdoor gorilla enclosure where he was grabbed and violently dragged and thrown by Harambe. Fearing for the boy’s life, a zoo worker shot and killed Harambe.

I feel so conflicted. A post that isn’t a shitpost has absolutely triggered me; does that mean it’s a successful shit post?

No one wants post coital, frothy lube with traces of shit coming out of the fountain. Santorum is the last person you want to call.
- Comment on Honestly impressive how pharmacies are able to find a new type of problem every time I go to pick up my meds 1 month ago:
I commented without reading what everyone else had to say, and the first words I typed were, “Is Walgreen’s your pharmacy too?”
What would piss me off is that they would constantly blow up my phone telling me to come get my script, it’s ready. Then I get to the pharmacy, and nothing is ready and I have to stand around awkwardly while I wait for them to fill it.
The final straw was I go in person to request a refill 5 days before I am out of meds. “Oh we haven’t gotten the shipment yet? Come back tomorrow.” So I go back the next day, and the next until I am finally out of meds and they still don’t have it in. Like, bitch, I have been filling this RX here for 2 years, do you mother fuckers not understand how to inventory?
After my last refill was up I had my Dr. start sending my scripts to Hannaford. It’s further away, but when they call me for my RX it’s ready for me when I go to pick it up.
To personify a bit, if I came across Walgreen’s dying in the street, I would step the fuck over their body and keep walking.

- Comment on Im a weekly showerer 1 month ago:
I’m one of those people that showers daily, cause my hair looks greasy if I don’t. People have different bodies, some need to shower more, some less.
- Comment on Im a weekly showerer 1 month ago:
As long as people aren’t keeping you at arms length, telling you that you stink, and your skin and hair is healthy, people should shower as they see fit.

Can confirm. I had a ferret that would jump onto the back of our terrier after war dancing around it. After witnessing that a few times we kept them separated. Our dog had no chill and didn’t want to play that way.
- Comment on Weeeeazels 1 month ago:
Over the course of 2 decades I had 8 different ferrets. They all did this; it was adorable and hilarious.

I’ve lived in Albany for 27 years. No one here uses the term, “steamed hams,” here. It’s a Simpsons joke, not a local term for hamburgers.

25 years ago. Not sure if the shop called 911 or the local PD.
I recently had a bike stolen from where I work. I happen to work for the state government so the theft was caught on multiple cameras. State police found the guy 2 weeks later after issuing a BOLO, arrested him, and since he was already out on parole due to a previous record, the thief went straight to prison. This last incident was 2 years ago.
ACAB, but despite that some actually enjoy solving crimes.

Something similar happened to me. When my bike was stolen, I notified all of my local bike shops with pics of my bike, and a detailed description about where damage to the frame was, and the numbers stamped on the bottom of the frame. Also filed a police report. I was devastated because this was a bike I built, and therefore custom. (I bought the frame, fork, derailers, chain, rims, tires, handlebar ect as separate components and put it together myself.)
The thief brought the bike into one of the local shops because he couldn’t figure out how to inflate the tires through the presta valves. The bike shop recognized it, told him to wait while they took care of things, called the police and stalled long enough for the police to show up and arrest the guy.
I eventually got my bike back after it was done being evidence. Fuck bike thieves.
- Comment on Baba Yaga 2 months ago:
Sam is a ring bearer. He briefly took it over when he thought Frodo was dead during the whole shelob affair. Unlike just about everyone else, he’s the only character I know of that willingly gave it up. Fuck, even Gandalf didn’t want to bear the ring because he knew it would corrupt him and he’d refuse to let go of that power.
- Comment on AAA Dominance Is Eroding: 56% of PC Gaming Revenue Now Goes to Games Outside the Top 20 2 months ago:
What’s driving this trend? The enshitification of triple AAA titles fucking slapping surcharges on EVERYTHING; day one dlc, microtransactions, always online DRM, the ability to revoke access to the shit we pay for, it’s death by 1000 cuts. EVERY anti-consumer action, every attempt to squeeze more of us while delivering the same rehashed shit over and over just drives me further into the arms of indie developers. The intent of us withholding our money and refusing to purchase your shit is to provide publishers with a sense of pride and accomplishment for retaining their customer base.
