- Comment on How rare is it for people to live without anger? 2 weeks ago:
While I was going through my posts on Twitter and deleting them all, I noticed that nearly all of the were gripes or complaints about something during my day. That’s not to say I had a lot of bad days but I’d be more likely to want to vent them than just vibing through the good days in social media silence. Each person is very different, but unless I was in a space where socializing was a daily thing, my tendency was to be more negative than positive Most of the time.
- Comment on What's the endgame when the rich have all the money? 3 weeks ago:
It reminds me of the ultimate game of monopoly I played as a kid (on a handheld). I had complete control over the board. I had bankrupted two of the AI’s, but in order to keep line go up, I’d have to keep the last one around. Every time it’d get low on funds I’d offer to significantly overpay for one of its’ few properties, and then sell it back for a dollar.
I got to around 30k before the game either just quit, or the battery died.
- Comment on what was the last game you played in 2024? 4 weeks ago:
As much as I’d have liked it to be some kind of active or skill based game, it was either going to be webfishing or revolution idle.
I recently picked up secrets of grindea, but after having binged it for a few days, I’m grinded out. I need to earn so much gold if I want to collect all the things and it feels like my combat power has hit a wall. There are a few non-grind things I could tackle, but I’ll just wait a bit and let burnout go away.

I had heard absolutely nothing about Secrets of Grindea, but it looks like a game that’s right up my alley, so it’s been grabbed.
- Comment on Excellent anti smoking ad 1 month ago:
My grandmother was always a smoker. The smell reminded me of her and her home more than anything gross.
Also the smoke does make the ability to taste and smell significantly worse.
That being said I finally kicked the habit 4 years ago.
- Comment on how do I become the dullest, most boring coworker so this needy man leaves me alone? 1 month ago:
The easy way: one word answers to everything. This can include just saying yup or nope to every response. I am the kind of person to lean in on obnoxious responses while very much not paying attention.
The hard way: get HR involved. Inappropriate attempts to get close to you count.

- Comment on Balatro is rated PEGI-18 and Among Us inspires disgruntled people with medical needs. What other video games have been secretly eroding the very fabric of American society? 1 month ago:
It was definitely the first persistent survival game that taught me I don’t have the time or energy for that genre.

Anything’s possible, I’m guessing there are some pipes or somethingunderneath and whoever did the installing didn’t feel like trying to straighten it out with junk in the way.

- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 1 month ago:
Which is why I bought satisfactory twice.
Though for coffee stain I’d do it again.
- Comment on What games have you put the most hours into? 2 months ago:
I dumped 8k hours into it once it came west within a year and a half but have since stopped. The NGS changeover was so poorly handled that it really hurt my enjoyment of the game significantly.
- Comment on What games have you put the most hours into? 2 months ago:
In no particular order:
Ragnarok online Darkspace Monster hunter (multiple games) Dj max (multiple games) Garry’s Mod Aliens VS predators 2 (1998) Halo Warframe Phantasy star online (and 2) Path of Exile Morrowind probably.
- Comment on How are Americans supposed to survive the next 30 years? 2 months ago:
I had supposed that’s what you were asking, however I am fairly well removed from the job market as I have been for over a few decades now and so the reality of the situation is not near to my grasp well enough for me to know and/or be able to meaningfully give you any indication on how things actually are.
- Comment on How are Americans supposed to survive the next 30 years? 2 months ago:
I have absolutely no idea how to answer that question in any meaningful way.
- Comment on How are Americans supposed to survive the next 30 years? 2 months ago:
I haven’t checked since covid, but Philadelphia usually has at least a handful for under 100k and a load under 200k.
Granted they aren’t in great sections of the city and nearly all are row homes with existing issues.
- Comment on What are your favorite 1000+ hour games? 2 months ago:
I think I have 5k hours in and the development style finally got to me in a bad way. I can go into detail if needed, but I don’t feel I need to to anyone with enough time in the game.
- Comment on What are your favorite 1000+ hour games? 2 months ago:
I hadn’t heard about this. Guess I’ll go look into it.
- Comment on Sega is delisting 60 classic games from Steam, so now’s the time to grab them 2 months ago:
I bought them ages ago and let me tell you, crazy taxi without the offspring is just not the same. Borrowing the original versions for free from the internet is the only way to go.

- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of November 3rd 2 months ago:
I also dabbled in the monster hunter wilds beta. It was what I expected and I’ll be happy to play the full version when it’s released. I think I bonked every monster available, both large and small. I tried out the weapons I’m likely to use.
Gunlance felt ok, light bow gun was interesting but more complicated than I expected. Bow was mostly the same but with some friendly additions. Switch axe ended up being my favorite of the beta. That thing just hits so quickly and wounds to easily that I don’t know if they oops’d the damage on it, or if I was just getting lucky. There were times when I’d break and make wounds in such a way that the monster would be basically stunned for a decently long period of time. If I had been partied up it would have been much too efficient. The other thing about it is the mobility of certain slashes. It took a bit getting used to, but it covers a lot of ground for a heavy blade.
After all that, I discovered the capture net would give both the insects and their essences, so I ran around hunting for endemic life and found a lot of little critters I otherwise would have missed. There’s a hornet that was endemic but could also poison you!
And I spent some time fishing. They really changed it up in this one. You need to reel in the line slowly to actually entice the fish to bite. I wasn’t completely comfortable with it at the end of the beta, but it also feels like they’re going to work on it a bit more.
As for other stuff I played. I continue my usual dedication to a few missions a week in helldivers 2. It’s a very fun game made by some very dedicated folks, and I’m down to blast some things every now and then. I finally got my nerve up to continue playing satisfactory. I usually stop right around coal power because it’s at that point that you can really automate the world… It’s just the amount of math and just waiting on materials to build so you can finally get exponential with your growth. I’m still very much in that stage currently. I need to upscale everything but I’m waiting for materials and to make sure my power situation is handled before I go nuts.

I haven’t noticed too many of them running rampant this year. Though I certainly did have one jump on me yesterday.

No in all regards. If you include name, type, and flavor text, this card is 5 lines, not more than 5.

I just roughly answered what the switch 2 would likely have during its life based on systems past.
- Comment on 'It Has Plateaued': Should We Be Worried About Console Gaming's Future? 3 months ago:
At least 3 Mario, Zelda, and Kirby games each. Maybe 1 or 2 metroids, splatoons, and megamans. At most one first party kart, party, and smash.

That’s the Philly I know and love.
- Comment on Players are now less "accepting" that games will be fixed, say Paradox, after "underestimating" the reaction to Cities: Skylines 2's performance woes 3 months ago:
It was the sheer quantity of dlc stuff along with the second one having potential performance issues that kept me way and away from it for now. I’ll check back in at a 50-90% off sale.
- Comment on Which unplayed game in your library are you most looking forward to playing eventually? 3 months ago:
Baba is you. I know the game was made by people much smarter than I am, I know I’m going to get stuck chasing a bad idea for 30+ minutes…
I have just not been feeling puzzley lately.
- Comment on To the center of the earth!📉 3 months ago:
I don’t see that as a downside as long as these two questions are also included.
How many degrees make up the inner angles of a triangle?
How many degrees make up one side of a straight line?
- Comment on To the center of the earth!📉 3 months ago:
I hated pictures like this in school. The numbers are just slapped on an inaccurate image and somehow they expect people to ignore the obvious right triangles and just focus on the math part of it.

I enjoyed the spiral shell, also no back pain unless I pulled a muscle, though that hasn’t happened for what feels like almost a year now since I started regularly stretching.
Also being a construction worker has done amazing things for my fitness.
