- 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 6 days 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 6 days 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.

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.

Oh absolutely! We’ve since moved away and occasionally we make the trek back over there, because that place is awesome. I miss being able to get their hot bar all the time. Their tofu pad Thai is siiiiiiick

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 3 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.

Fuckin right?
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.

I had a WMR kit that just tore through rechargeable AAa. Using non-rechargeables lasted soooo much longer, and the rechargeables I have are high end!
Got an index and THOSE controller batteries are fantastic.

Yeah, the one that’s you beat and it’s like “NOPE SECOND HEALTHBAR”, then you beat it again and it’s like “UMMM TIME DOR ANOTHER HEALTH BAR”
I’m fairly early into the expansion, I’ve only beaten two legacy dungeons. I figured I’d just come back once I learned he’s options.

I have off-limits places: where I sleep and in the shower. If I can’t reach them and they’re there… unfortunately they get the hand vac. Otherwise, it’s time to bring out and index card and Dedicated Spider Cup. It’s outside if it’s not winter, and basement if it’s winter.

Fuck yeah! I don’t think I ever will. I’m down hundreds hours in of just fucking around and exploring and I keep hitting walls in the expansion. There’s a crazy tree bitch I can’t kill at the bottom of somewhere even with expert help. Aaaaaaaaa
