  Prob fake but imagine spending a lot of time trying to form a friendship with someone and in the end you find they were only trying to fuck the entire time.

  I like the utility feed hanging off the front of the house going straight through the roof and blocking them from installing the other fake shutter. I wonder what other construction horrors lurk inside.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nightingale Developer Inflexion Games Is Laying Off Staff⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They jumped the gun releasing without a campaign at launch. People were merciless in reviews about that. It’s better since that was added but still feels a bit hollow. I hope this isn’t a mistake because it has potential and seems like it’s evolving quickly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon recommends a cast iron pan⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had one for roughly 15 years and use it almost every day. I most often use it as a baking pan or for grilling things. Not much sticks to it and what does is easily scrubbed off. I don’t season it in any meticulous way, just put a coat of cooking oil on and toss it in the oven every few months. I don’t cook acidic things in it - that is the rare time I use the stainless. I definitely understand why some don’t like the weight but I’m used to it.

  I was bummed when I saw it launched in a crappy state. I thought it looked really neat as well. From recent reviews it seems they have fixed a ton of stuff and are rapidly fixing things so I copped it. Hopefully I can finally play it this weekend.

  I didn’t know it existed until a popular streamer begrudgingly “reviewed” it at the last minute. Found it strange that there was zero marketing for such an expensive and long developed investment.

  Not sure. But Proton, Apple, passmail and some other providers have a way you can create email aliases on the fly that forward to your real address. I think Microsoft does too but it was limited last time I looked at it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I started to get these daily at random hours, even when I'm sleeping. Someone's trying to hack me?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Your email address was probably harvested from a compromised site you used it to sign up with. There are sites where you can check to see if it’s compromised. This is why I started using email aliases when signing up for any site or service. It shows where it was compromised or you’ll find some companies will share it with partners or sell your info sometimes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Sega Dreamcast⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. It’s such a nice piece of hardware. And the games hold up to this day. Glad it’s appreciated now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Sega Dreamcast⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They kinda screwed up the timing with it. Launched when everyone and their mother already had a PS2 and got left in the dust. Was also difficult to get one due to limited supply. People tended to buy one console and stick with it for 5+ years, so the only people standing in line were fans or people with money to burn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Sega Saturn⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In addition to what others said, due to the architecture it was notoriously hard to develop for. The Playstation dev kits were a dream to work with in comparison. Sega of Japan hedged their bets on 2D remaining king due to the Japanese market preferring arcade ports and slowness to accept change, and slapped on some 3D capabilities almost as an afterthought. Meanwhile Sega of America assumed the US market would scoff at spending 500 on a console when the 32X had just released and was very similar (and also selling poorly).

  Sony took risks by pushing 3D hard, were aggressive with pricing, did a ton of marketing, and completely ate Sega’s lunch. Despite the Saturn being arguably more powerful and better made than the PS1, it wasn’t enough to right the ship. And it continued on this downward spiral due to the negative impressions that Sega was dying with the Dreamcast where they again flubbed the launch timing while people were enamored with the N64 and the PS1 had a massive library.

  There were lots of other shenanigans involved, I’m skimming the surface here. Regardless, both consoles have some bangers and I recommend trying some out if you ever have the chance. The hardware is also very cool if you can find them cheap but might need refurbed at this age.

  Dunkie’s review is hilarious

  Enderal. Went in blind. So far, lots of screaming and running from spiders when my mana runs out. Story and dialog actually has some meat, so am enjoying.

  Can confirm. Don’t get old.
