• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I respond if a girl I know keeps talking how another girl is into her, obsessed with her, etc.?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Depending how your friend feels about this person, it might be an idea to tell your friend how your feel about that other person. If your friend isn’t into the obsessed one while you are, you could arrange to all hang out together and your friend could effectively scrape the person off onto you. Win-win-win. Also, in my experience, it could simply be from the novelty that your friend is taking any amount of interest in being wanted like that. For most normal people it’s not common place for someone else to take that much of an interest in them. It can be an ego booster, disturbing or any combination of the 2.

  A terrific film

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is feeling disrespected reason good enough to change jobs?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Any reason you feel to leave a job is a good enough reason. Just make sure you have somewhere else already lined up before you had in your notice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people still call each other at midnight on NYE?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It used to be that SMS service would get so overrun with HNY messages that it’d be a game to see how long it took to get a response. For some, at least. It truly was a time of making your own fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I PS5?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t have a PS5 but I’d assume many things are carry overs from the PS4. With that out of the way, purchased games are tied to the account, not the console and same for the saves; offspring B’s save is perfectly safe from offspring A, for example.

  Now, on the PS4 there was a primary account. If the primary account bought a game AND DOWNLOADED IT, the other accounts could play that game and have their own save. I’m not sure if a game purchased by an additional account would be accessible to the rest but logic would follow that they could so long as the game had been downloaded by the owner.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What makes a video game triple A (AAA)?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  High cost, high potential, high advertising budget, low creativity and lower likelihood of being interesting or meeting the expectations they fostered among the buying public.

  No Sega. Bad Sega. Down boy. Don’t make me get the spray bottle…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TW: suicide⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me of a line from a Jim Carrey stand-up. On the subject of that little voice in the back of your head “Turning the vehicle into on-coming traffic would be COUNTERPRODUCTIVE”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TW: suicide⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Having experienced it personally before now, yup. Very easy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TW: suicide⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Way I had it explained to me is it has a good chance of severing the brain stem, supposedly killing you quicker than a hole through multiple parts of your brain matter which is a way some people survive the attempt. Also, suicide by gun is a lot quicker and easier than something like taking a knife to one of your veins, either the “results” way or the “attention” way.

  That said, sometimes it’s a moment of none thinking. Some people see a quick out and take it. I was once told an annecdote from a client I met at work about a friend of his who everyone thought was fine right until he was cutting fire wood one day and opted to throw his throat on a running chainsaw. Anyone thinking for more than a couple of seconds realises that’s an extraordinarily horrible way to go out, but sometimes that 1 is all it takes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rocksteady ends Suicide Squad development less than a year after release⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, but we aren’t exactly going to be mourning either. Almost no-one wants SS to be Arkham canon so it’s no great loss… Aside for the waste of Kevin Conroys last possible contribution to the franchise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to get over my reddit ""addiction""?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Way too inefficient. Just comment anyway about Lemmy and through in a little #FuckSpez.

  That’s my best guess for why two accounts I had got banned on there.

  It feels like the correct answer would be “no” but I honestly don’t know enough about Tencent to weigh in.

  Where’s my shocked Pikachu face? Now just for these people to learn infinite growth also isn’t sustainable and we might finally be getting somewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fallout London is a better game than Fallout 4⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, close but not quite right. I want that level of writing and mechanical competence, but in the world of Fallout.

  I can’t say I’m looking forward to the fantasy as much, just not the genre/vibe I’m after. I’m still pretty full up on fantasy from The Witcher 3, which should say something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fallout London is a better game than Fallout 4⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed. I’ve been dying for a Bugthesda IP game but made with competence. I’ll still be dreaming of an announcement for Obsidian making Fallout 5

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fallout London is a better game than Fallout 4⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure what version but it had Buffout packaged and didn’t work, not even after I replaced the mod files manually.

  Sadly, I’ve not been able to get past the train bit at the start without the game crashing.

  Orientation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To appease a Steam user's demands for straight representation, Webfishing added a 'Straight' title that costs 9,999 fish bucks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it’s an inherently a “straight” issue to think the topic of sexuality can be out of place at times. I don’t think the topic of sexuality should be taboo like it has been historically but, like many topics, I think there’s a time and place for it. In my eye, the only time I need to know a person’s orientation is when I find someone I wish to pursue something with since it’s a key aspect of my chance of success. I believe what someone does and is into is a closed doors affair; it’s their business, not mine. Plenty of times someone’s sexuality is held above someone’s head, quite literally in the case of this casual fishing game where I feel it doesn’t even slightly belong. In these situations, I find myself made uncomfortable because the topic is very mismatched for the context. We’re standing here fishing, so why are you bringing who you like to bang - or not, as the case may be - into the conversation?

  And huh, would you look at that, I didn’t bring my own orientation into the mix because it’s not needed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the initial stabbing is fine in regards of a self-defense reaction. The twist is excessive and, like someone has already said, the level of detail you’ve gone into specifically for the stabbing is more than a little odd. To me, it makes it sound like you enjoyed stabbing him more than you enjoyed surviving the assault. Definitely see a psychiatrist.

  Some would argue a healthier dose of common sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I or should I not use/bother with using Linux? (READ THE WHOLE POST)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s nothing stopping you from making a boot key and messing with Linux or making a partition of your storage. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

  That said, as someone who is also very visually inclined, I’ve tried a couple of different distros over the years and always bounced off. I kept encountering the dumbest little issues that most people didn’t get, and it always required Terminal to fix. It’s those moments when you get to learn how obtuse and unwelcoming some of the Linux community can be.
