- Comment on Best "screwing around" Game Request 5 days ago:
I dunno how well crafting/building games fit what you’re looking for, but I can jump into Valheim and just screw around for hours collecting and making stuff. The world isn’t populated like a grand theft auto, but it’s fun to just explore and mess around/build stuff in!

Yknow that’s what I thought! But after replacing memory and GPU, everything worked great for a year or two until I sold it! I did bring it into my work (I used to work computer repair) and used the shop’s PSU tester which passed it…. I think it was just a fluke! I do know the cards I bought (2 x 7900GT) had a bit of a notoriety for failing, but I do not think the RAM had the same issue.

I had BOTH of my memory modules die simultaneously in my first beefy computer I built. I was very lucky that OCZ had a lifetime warranty—they didn’t even ask for the memtest results, they just sent me two new sticks.
Then both of my (SLI) video cards died… those too were in warranty, but I began to wonder if my computer was cursed.

Objectively yes. From the 90s to the early ‘10s.
- Comment on While we eagerly await the second coming of Steam Machines, it's worth remembering what a gloriously awful mess Valve got itself in over a decade ago 3 weeks ago:
I have a pi-hope and I’m running Wipr 2… a LOT of blank white space on that page hahaha
- Comment on Our first look at the Steam Machine, Valve’s ambitious new game console 3 weeks ago:
It sort of is… I collect consoles, I have everything from the 2600 to PS3/Wii/360. I quit after that because the XBone and PS4 were just horrible shitty PCs that ran games like garbage and had insane load times. I like the newest XBox and PS5, but I’m done collecting consoles forever because they’re just locked down PCs now. The Steam Machine is a console for computer game players with MUCH LESS locked down OS than a PlayStation or XBox and I love that idea very much. I have four high-end computers for games at my house (maybe five, one is old but still works great with linux) and I would still consider a Steam Machine in my house as another first computer… but it does really taste like a console (in a good way)

I have a Nova. It’s okay. I much prefer a different internal thing like a bad dragon dildo combined with a clit sucker instead.

Jesus! I’m so sorry your friend went through that, that’s awful! I’m very thankful for test strips now… it’s terrifying that something so opposite can just find its way into blow.
I’m glad you’re safe, and I hope your friend is okay now.
Good on you for no longer fuckin with it. My partner and I drink too much but otherwise are mainly sober from substances—we just have some random special days every couple months where we do something fancy and fun.

It’s not even as expensive as people say it is. If it’s not shitty, ya don’t go through a ball in a night! My partner and I still occasionally dabble, and we maybe go through .1-.2 each for a couple hours of zoot.
The test kits are really cool, too. You break a glass ampule and shovel in a tiiiiny bit in. The shade of dark the chemicals turn tells you the purity. I’ve seen it turn a sludgy light-brown watery poo color a long time ago… and I’ve seen it turn black since then.
- Comment on Thank me later... 4 weeks ago:
Hahaha I had done it a few times during my rave phase but I was almost always disappointed. Like, you gotta do so much of it that it clogs your nose and it goes away so quickly! Then randomly an acquaintance of mine maaaany years later told me they dabbled (understatement) and I learned that almost all coke is complete garbage. A couple bumps had me zooted for like an hour. Remember kids, if it’s already a powder when it comes to you, it’s been stepped on. If you’re getting a shiny chunk that’s almost gummy-feeling, you’re in for a treat.

Having had oodles of bad to mediocre coke in my days and then having 90+% pure (tested myself) I honestly think this graph is misleading, and coke is waaaaay higher.
The problem is, meth dumps your serotonin and feels good by itself, while coke requires you to be doing something that dumps your sweet brain chems to really feel good-good. I don’t know the science behind it but it’s been explained to me. Doing coke and sitting around watching a show is meh. Doing blow and playing a stimulating video game or doing a project that feels good or talking your partner’s ear off (and they yours in return) about ridiculous shit feels incredible.
But yeah. If you need to do a couple lines of coke to really feel it, it’s not good. If you’re getting zooted off a couple bumps, that’s the good stuff.

Having done all of these, DMT does not have the same kind of dopamine release. It is, however, the far most interesting of all of these. But definitely not something I’m ready to casually do at a party, unlike a couple bumps of fine Peruvian nasal fuel.

My partner got a chicken salad from a local co-op we love, but into a chicken piece, and it was pink and shiny on the inside. They brought it back and showed a clerk who was MORTIFIED. My partner wasn’t mad or anything, just a little worried about getting sick (which didn’t happen, thankfully!) and the co-op immediately took all of their chicken salad packs and threw them away. We didn’t even ask for a refund but we got a refund anyway.

In an old version of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” for the computer, if you take too long before starting a game, Regis gets pissed at you and starts yelling at you. If you take a bit longer. He closes the game.

My hats and a weird patch got me a ton of free games and an Index so I have to agree with you. I have a dope ass piece of sick VR shit that I got for zero moneys.

I had too many unopened loot crates #1-20 and one day there was a weird patch and I sold them all to get a free Valve Index in 2020

Daaamn Ragnarok Online had OBBs and OPBs in like 2003… they just weren’t purchasable with cash unless you went through third parties. But they are loot boxes. Also my favorite game ever and I spent so many hours farming for loot boxes to sell.
- Comment on Good Halloween Games 5 weeks ago:
Anything by Chilla’s Art. The Coffee Shop, Parasocial, The Bathhouse, Shinkansen 0, The Radio Station.
Also The Hex if you want a spooky mood but no jumpscares. Go in blind, it’s by Daniel Mullins who did Inscryption. It’s an incredible game. Ignore the screenshots on Steam and don’t watch the trailer, it’s five USD and the graphics make sense after playing for 30m.
If you want jump scares, At Dead of Night. My partner and I are horror aficionados and we cannot play that game.

ALSO can Mojang get my goshfuckin ALPHA account back that Microsoft deleted because I wasn’t paying attention to their bullshit during COVID and now it’s gone forever even if I make a Microsoft account which I will never do and now I have to pay money to Microsoft (which I will also never do and have never done)?

I urge everyone to go play Corpsepile’s “The Man Man”, it’s a browser game. I think you need to be on a keyboard. Go in blind. I went in blind while pot-high for the first time in months and it was a GRAND experience.
