I 100% RDR and killing cougars with a knife still haunts me. It’s exactly as it sounds. Go do melee combat with a gigantic pissed off cat that almost always comes in pairs, sometimes a trio.
- Comment on Bethesda announces a new Fallout... reality show 2 days ago:
The main quest was terrible. Should never center the plot around the player when there’s custom creation and open world. It’s forcing a backstory or behaviour onto the player even if they don’t want it.
I played a big Michael Clarke Duncan brute rolling melee as Idiot Savant. The intro and main quest was entirely incompatible with character, full of things they wouldn’t have done, would do, or should do.

And Fallout 4 was kind of mediocre.

And before anyone complains about “Not everyone can switch jobs” bullshit, yes you can. You’re literally employed right now. You’re in the best position you can be if looking for work.

Comparing everything to their insignificant home town.

Okaaaay…

I ask, “So what do you do?”
If they answer with hobbies and interests, they’re more my kind of person. If they answer with their job stuff, well that’s just their main life thing.
- Comment on Wikipeter was the founder of the site in 1993 when he wanted to know more about model trains without having to visit the library 2 weeks ago:
I frequently check Wikipedia citations, just to be disappointed. Wiki sources can be a great shortcut to good citations, but often I realise much of an article’s content is built out of the soggiest cardboard.
- Comment on Among 2025 games with over 10K reviews, Deltarune is the most highly rated 2 weeks ago:
WolfQuest RP servers were not what I thought they’d be. They are definitely not playing the season through cooperatively but without using the chat.
- Comment on I ditched Netflix Premium for 4K Blu-ray, and I might never go back 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, but I still buy vinyls all the time because I like the artwork, extra bits and pieces to read, and other goodies included sometimes.
It’s like the top shelf stuff I get out on special days. Physical formats are just kind of like that. They’re easy, simple, curated libraries, just like a bookshelf with all your favs up there.
- Comment on Trying to activate a new BT account 2 weeks ago:
If there’s a 1TB cap, I don’t even understand the point of needing a 1Gbps connection. I assume their market is just people that want to say they have a 1 Gbps connection, but all they do is stream or play the odd game.

Well even if it were intentional, that individual was dependent on the incompetence and they were right.

Nah, his voice would still be annoying af to everyone there too. If Bob Marley is Jamaican, Jar Jar is the noise a balloon makes when you pinch the mouthpiece and let the air back out.

I’d do my job for free for a few days just to help people out (which I like doing) and there’s parts of it I enjoy.
But I like paddling down the river much more.
For most people, a paycheck is a business financially compensating you for the time you lost and the effort you did, for them. The business is of no value to the employee otherwise. The compensation must be fair and worth their while.

Yep. Did this recently actually lol.
But also commonly known as a war thing, done to render the enemy’s land infertile. Can’t grow food for a while and stuff.
Neither of these things really make much sense in context, though.

- Comment on What's the best way to answer someone who accuses you of being a bot because they don't like what you have to say? 1 month ago:
Well it’s pointless engaging with them any further.
Do what I do. Create a ChatGPT conversation, give the context and ask for a reply. See how long you can keep it up by telling the bot what reply you got from them next. You barely have tomdo anything, just cope+paste.
Its more fun to not even read anything that’s going on until the end.

Is she aware of what protein in the diet is for and how it works? Ot is she having expensive poops?
- Comment on Have you noticed the new way of promoting horrible food by telling you it has lots of protein 1 month ago:
I thought we exited this phase quite a few years back. Has it made a return? Are there wheat cereals advertising protein that’ll shit straight out of me because I do zero exercise again?

- Comment on *confused flatfish noises* 1 month ago:
By far. We didn’t get to be #1 by fucking around, and we didn’t get to be #1 without all that dominating evolution lingering around. We’re so good at it, we’re predators to ourselves because there’s no prey left to dominate. Every other species dies farmed or as a hobby.
But I can say, that if I were die be prey to something, I’d rather it be to a human. Everything else starts eating you before you’re even dead lol.

I’ve not been in Australia for some time. But I cannot express to the rest of the world enough how much Australians hate her. She’s a running joke to the nation.
Wearing a burka there is as dangerous as wearing a top hat. People will look, of course, but no one gives a shit. Some people will want to know how you’re doing that with the heat, and may even straight up ask, but in a friendly manner. But if a person gives you shit for it, watch every stranger around you decemd on that person like white blood cells protecting the nation’s culture from a toxin.
That country is a melting pot of so many nations and cultures and true Australian pride nurtures that identity.
Pauline Hanson is as Australian as Marmite.

iirc the John Hammond covers this in the book. I was so young, but something is triggering it for me. Could just be the subconscious trying to protect nostalgia, though.

I think that’s specific to mammals. Just off the top of my head…
Invertebrates? No. All out
