  I dun’ care. Shit’s delicious. Table salt got nothin on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your gaming highlights of 2025?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I got Monster Hunter: Wilds finally, but surprisingly, I have not dropped a lot of time into it despite playing the franchise since the first, with usually 100-250 hours spent on any given. TBF, my PS5 controller is in a terrible state right now, forcing me to use K&M, which is genuinely surprising to me that they added support for it in the PS5 to begin with. As far as I know, that is very rare.

  I’d actually have to give my personal GOTY to a game that’s not at all new. I’ve eyed Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous for some time, even though I don’t think I’ve played a traditional CRPG since Planescape: Torment (granted not in 1999, I bought it thru GOG, so it had to be sometime after 2008.) And despite it being a CRPG and me knowing that, I played it via Playstation+ on PS5… with my controller, which still had stick drift at the time but not as bad. I sunk between 200-250 hours into it and I still have not beat the damn thing. I kept remaking my party as I grew more familiar with the game’s system. My last and favorite being subclassing all my regulars to have dinosaur pets. Game went on sale for like 6 or 7 bucks a little while ago so I just went ahead and bought it permanently. I’m sure I’ll revisit it again just like I do Elder Scrolls and Borderlands franchises.

  It’s not that I dislike getting in the shower, but that I dislike the part where I have to get out. Then I’m wet, colder, and clothes tend to stick until I’m completely dry. Not to mention having long hair that stays wet and damp for quite a while. It’s an annoryance.

  As much as I enjoyed Wrath of the Righteous, I give zero fucks when being foced to play a damn human. Sure, my companions could be something else, but I must still be a human, and I’m just not about that. “Lookit all this fantastical fantasy stuff! But here, play with the basic human.” Fuck off. No. No thanks. Wish GW would push their other shit more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Graffiti⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Valid, but like what’d minks ever do?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If WW3 breaks out, who is going to be on which side?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, the cool thing about life is that despite humans making up stories that declare themselves the pinnacle of it, when every human is wiped out, life won’t care and will flourish without them mucking up the works.

  There’s enough fish in the sea that there’s probably a guy out there’ll that’ll be a fit if you try hard enough to look, but if I were a bettin man I’d wager they are considerably few in number. How you act during sex also matters, whether act or not. Basically, I doubt many men would be fine with a “dead fish.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨to my expierence⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At some point years ago, I moved off Chrome and switched to Edge. I don’t remember why. I think it was because ublock would no longer work with Chrome. Or maybe it was Firefox I was on, and Chrome was throttling Youtube when accessed through Firefox, so I started using Edge and just swapped. Or maybe both. I don’t really recall. But Edge works perfectly fine for what I need it to do. With how heavy Google has tilted into advertising, data tracking, and enshitifying themselves, I low-key resent them and just won’t use Chrome unless I have to. Firefox with ublock for phone, Edge with ublock for PC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favorite Metroidvania?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wut.

  Looked this up. Can’t believe Record of Lodoss War got a game in 2021. I remember watching the 1990 anime on Toonami’s online-only list of anime at the time, along with Harlock Saga. Both old school AF.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favorite Metroidvania?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a list of Metroidvania’s I’ve started but never completed. The only one that managed to hold my attention to completion that wasn’t an actual Metroid title was Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Which is a shame, because Ori and The Blind Forest is beautiful and Hollowknight is very cute, but neither could really hold my attention.

  Ethically, it may be questionable, personally, IDGAF.

  Nobody is flexing anything with a common fast-food brand hot sauce.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Years later, Arkane’s Dishonored is still a modern stealth classic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I played the first game way, way back. At the very least, I remember completing it, and liking it. So fast forward several years, the game goes on sale plenty, and I’ve forgotten nearly all of it, but remembered I liked it. So why not play it again right. Picked it up for cheap, and just could jot get into it. I tried a couple times even, but I just can’t for some reason.

  Do not give the captcha bots anymore bad ideas than they already have, thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When "AI" content becomes indistinguishable from human-made content, is there, philosophically speaking, any meaningful differences between the two?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  AI music really caught me off guard. One day I was looking for something very specific to vibe to. I wanted instrumental power metal, like Dragonforce but no vocals. And I found that in Metal Mastery, a YouTube channel. I liked it so much it I looked into it more, turns out it’s AI and the guy is very upfront about it and all. But I would have never known if I wasn’t told. There’s also nothing that really fills that niche either, so I still listen to the albums now and then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lost count⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I lost my internet for a couple of months a while back. That sucked. Since then I will track down stuff I like and save it if I can. I live alone, so not like anyone else is going to use my PC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FIRE EVERYTHING⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate that this is true. At this point it’s so ingrained in me that one leads to the other, that just smelling coffee will make me have to go. I just want to drink my caffeine in peace, damn it.

  At 3 billion people, I imagine paper companies would be jumping for joy.

  But yeah, that sounds like it’d be a bastard to surveil.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'I think we're in the fight of our lives': Fired Rockstar employees and IWGB are confident the GTA 6 developer will be held accountable for its alleged union busting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’d be cool if it were true, but I’m pressing X to doubt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What personal dramas have you witnessed with/among your fellow players while gaming?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Back when Overwatch was fresh, had a couple randoms I wound up buddying and partnering up with pretty often for a few weeks. But one of them was a really annoying person on mic, who was just very clingy with the other guy. Then other guy wanted to drop clingy guy. Clingy guy freaked. They didn’t split but I eventually just stopped playing. Don’t know how their friendship ultimately turned out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨California Approves New House Maps in a Major Win for Democrats and Newsom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re not wrong, gerrymandering sucks. But the right wields it unfairly and gets away with it. So we need to do it back. Only when we have enough collective power to dismantle the entirety of gerrymandering at the federal level for good can it be truly done away with. Until we get to that point, we have to play hardball back, or the right will just continue to get their way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨California Approves New House Maps in a Major Win for Democrats and Newsom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Cool. The democratic left needs to stop being a bunch of fucking pushovers. If the right is going to play hardball, than play hardball back and fucking win, and fuck the moralists who whine like babies about “BuT tHeN wE’rE nO bEtTeR ThAn ThEM.” Like, bitch, we can worry about that shit after we take care of ousting the pack of right-wing cheating fuckwits with zero regard for the law and rules. Then once shit is back and stable, we can worry about your pansy ass empty do-gooder tolerance that allowed the extreme right a voice in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For those of you who enjoy open-world games, how big of a world is too big?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nothing much new to say, just reiteration. A big or huge or gigantic map is fine, so long as it’s populated by meaningful content.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mini Monstrosity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  S’like a baby owlbear, but a rat. Too cute. I’m sure if these things were real there’d be people trying to domesticate them in a heartbeat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We always hear/read about Goverments cencoring the internet. What is something that the US is not knowing is being censored?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you give me any more details? That’s a little vague in and of itself. Mage: The Accension, a TTRPG, is what first comes up when I google it, but really, there’s a number of things it could be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We always hear/read about Goverments cencoring the internet. What is something that the US is not knowing is being censored?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t help but think of how the original Deus Ex existed in a world where crackpot conspiracy theories like this were just the reality. And this sounds like it would make a great setting itself as some agent works their way through a conspiracy, going on a small world tour of levels in various major powers of the world before finally ending in a boss battle in some hidden hi-tech but occultish basement of the Vatican where we find the Anti-Christ is preparing to unleash whatever high-tech equivalent is for the Mark of the Beast, and it’s our final big job to take him down to stall his coming to power for the next millenia or some nonsense.

  Sorry if you take your theories seriously, I just can’t. But I’d bet they’d make a cool story.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What exactly is the reasoning behind Satan ruling Hell?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, sorry, that was my bad and a holdover from having that actual scenario play out and being annoyed with it. Then I second guessed myself, checked your post history, which showed your most likely legit, then deleted my comment. So nevermind, I was in the wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What exactly is the reasoning behind Satan ruling Hell?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The weeping and gnashing of teeth isn’t even explicitly hell.

  10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. 11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

  It’s just a general separation from God. Which you could call a Hell, but it’s not explicitly stated as a product of that realm which is Hell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The fuck. I’ve never heard of this. Haven’t heard anything that interesting in pokemon since years ago back when I was using smogon university to dig into the meta and play on some online simulator where everyone just locked their pokemon at lv50 and could choose all their IV/EV distribution, natures, and move loadouts for the ultimate meta experiance.
