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

Thank fuck for that.

Nintendo really is the Disney of video games.

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 6 days ago:
Having experienced it personally before now, yup. Very easy.
- Comment on TW: suicide 6 days 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.

Who said you have to?
- Comment on Rocksteady ends Suicide Squad development less than a year after release 1 week 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.

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.

You know you can turn it off too, right?

Oh fuck that. I’m not paying someone money for the privilege of being spied on when playing singleplayer.
- Comment on Fallout London is a better game than Fallout 4 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks ago:
Not sure what version but it had Buffout packaged and didn’t work, not even after I replaced the mod files manually.
- Comment on Fallout London is a better game than Fallout 4 4 weeks ago:
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 1 month 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.

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) 1 month 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.

Continental mainland is what I was referring to, yeah, but I can’t say I know much of anything about the Italian market.

Thank you. I provide links so infrequently I manage to forget the format by the next time I need it.

- Comment on Players are now less "accepting" that games will be fixed, say Paradox, after "underestimating" the reaction to Cities: Skylines 2's performance woes 2 months ago:
That may be true but with that kind of success behind them, one would assume they have the budget to finish their games without needing the support of the crutch that is the Early Access model.

And yet another instance of people paying for the mistakes of the higher ups.

He so casually presents them cheeks, she can say what she wants just as casually 😂

It’s not about close position in this case, it’s that the idiot was typing quickly and hit the numbers in the wrong order.
