Tossup between 2 and 5. Forever locked in competition with their strengths and weaknesses perfectly inverted to each other. I used to use 5 for lineart and then shade with 2.
- Comment on Anon is chasing an old high 6 days ago:
We know what is possible today. When these old games were new they were quite frankly cutting edge and pioneering what was possible.
You don’t achieve that today even with the most dedicated adherence to retro limitations.
- Comment on Don't make me come over there 6 days ago:
I also see people blame Stalin for his decision to suppress the Hungarian revolution. You know. In 1956.
Internet comments aren’t academia. Most of the time it’s just confessionals through another lens.
- Comment on Don't make me come over there 1 week ago:
When I feel this way I just tip my glasses down slightly, which was the style at the time. A stern look is what we’d call it. Anyway…
- Comment on I'm gonna need more red colored crayons 1 week ago:
Turkey just eliminated outright.
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 1 week ago:
Europe has roughly the same land mass as the United States and less than half the population. The population density and urbanization is even lower.
So for the USA it’s actually quite a bit to have protests of hundreds in smaller towns and state capitols.
Major cities can muster the large groups, but the consistent and widespread nature of the protests should not be discounted.
Incidentally I am also not seeing counter protests or demonstrations of support.

How many marijuanas did you smoke those few times? You might die one day.
- Comment on Chrono Trigger Is Timeless 1 week ago:
Chrono Trigger is one of those games you can play just for the music.
- Comment on rule 1 week ago:
Quite.

Shoutout to the physicists dismissing biologist experiment design as a whole instead of across sexual or gendered lines.

I work 4 10s with Wednesdays off. Deal.

The Alito brain is the end stage of this mentality.
“‘Any’ limitation?? Have you considered fish and birds aren’t mammals? The principal wouldn’t be happy! Checkmate EPA, now you can’t enforce water quality standards.” -SCOTUS last week.

The loss game. When it isn’t loss, you lose.
- Comment on Anon is a gamer 3 weeks ago:
It normally would go on sleep mode and be off anyway so I hadn’t noticed it was on when I left. That was how I learned that the .exe would just stay running and not allow things to shut off normally when idle.
- Comment on Anon is a gamer 3 weeks ago:
Steam just tracks how long the program is running. My old rig played Dark Souls 3 24/7 sometimes because the .exe file would glitch and stay open until I manually terminated it. I averaged 168 hours a week coming back from a 2 week vacation once.
- Comment on Are modern Final Fantasy games bad? 3 weeks ago:
“Modern”? I don’t know.
Final Fantasy 10 was the last game that fit the ‘traditional’ turn based (active or not) gameplay. Since then there’s been less consistency between iterations.
Final Fantasy 11 and 14 are MMORPGs and are just fundamentally different games as a result. The latest is essentially Devil May Cry gameplay.
A lot of people enjoyed DMC and DMC is not inherently bad, but it may not be what people expect.
But the spinoffs using the Final Fantasy name have always been pretty damn hit or miss. (Compare Mystic Quest to Tactics.) This just now applies to the whole series.
- Comment on A funny thing in Iran is how they repackage old PlayStation consoles 3 weeks ago:
I know it is likely just the nostalgia, but the PS1 startup sounds really were the best.
- Comment on Anon encounters magic 3 weeks ago:
Stupid sexy melange.
- Comment on GO FORTH AND SEIZE YOUR DESTINY 4 weeks ago:
I like how just saying ‘Scone of scone’ makes you just a little bit genetically Scottish.
- Comment on Valve adds "all the Team Fortress 2 client and server game code" to its Source mod tools, letting modders "build completely new games based on TF2" and publish them on Steam 4 weeks ago:
Natural Selection was a quality one.
- Comment on Anon envies the boomers 5 weeks ago:
I dunno, 3 makes wild accusations about implied meanings. Seems suspect.
- Comment on I miss myspace 5 weeks ago:
I lost the music I made in college to the MySpace database loss/crash/whatever.
Upside: the music I made in college is forever lost.

There was a time my boss handed me a shovel and I realized too late we weren’t going outside.

flashbacks to working maintenance at an assisted living facility
I understood and recognized those smells from description too well.

Vance, being a lawyer, knows which words have meaning.
That’s why he wrote ‘tell’ ‘command’ and ‘control’ instead of ‘rules’ ‘orders’ or ‘directs’.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Threat of a lawsuit is not a lawsuit.
What happens commonly is the threat of legal liability is used as a tool to gain some kind of leverage or compliance.
In business this is very prominent practice of utilizing capital to suppress competition. Inserting trouble + waste of time and money into your competition is very American.

With a fantastic IT career.
- Comment on Anon watches The Terminator 1 month ago:
I live next to fairgrounds. Every Saturday: Gun and Knife Show.
But I also remember working at a marina and where I saw far more transactions take place between two parked vehicles than anything that requires paperwork.
- Comment on It's a good group! 2 months ago:
Warhammer 40k lore is on the level of racism and genetic determinism that resonates with nazibrain.
Every faction is a caricature and parody of some ideological concept where every member is obligated to live and die exactly as they’re supposed to.
