Funny how, despite corporate trying it’s hardest to kill it, we’ve only managed to get better, more organized and safer with file sharing (and perhaps because of them, in many ways).
- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 4 days ago:
Reminds me that Nintendo had help lines you could call for stuff like Zelda secrets, and they may have intentionally added things like secret caves to incentivize that lucrative service.

To be fair, Tiramisu should be America’s favorite dessert.

You want the absolute “guide damn it” example? Try playing the OG Dragon Quest games. They’re nonlinear by nature and there’s a spot in 2 (or was it 3) where you need to literally check an unmarked floor for an item. No indicator, save maybe a vague NPC dialogue in another part of the planet that didn’t get adequately translated in English so you’re truly aimless.
- Comment on 8BitDo no longer shipping to US from China due to Trump tariffs 1 week ago:
Ugh. I hate this timeline.
My 8bitdo story, back when they’re we’re just starting to put joysticks on their SNES style controllers, I used mine to the point that the joysticks were falling apart. I sent them a support email, and even though it wasn’t covered by any warranty or anything, a very nice Chinese person working there sent me a spare set of joysticks in the mail, plus words of encouragement (in somewhat broken English) since I wasn’t shy about fixing the thing myself.
Can’t imagine that today, but it was a nice gesture and I’m glad they’re still making stuff today.

I mean, or murder the ones who won’t have a tea party with me.

I use Dr. and make a point to, but only because it reminds me of a character from TV which tickles my funny bone.
That, and I tell them “Just Professor is fine, too, it makes me feel like I’m in Fire Emblem Three Houses.”

There are 8 billion people on earth and close to 400 million are in the US. There can, and will be, even worse takes out there.

Yup, third one I’ve seen too. I didn’t mind the catgirl one but it’s already kind of messed up to meme with this asshole, but these last two aren’t even very good.

Concord
Haha, just kidding.

NGL, this greentext actually made me smile cause I’m a terrible person. Likely not real, but real talk, I love to bring a room to a very dark place as a joke with my friends, though, especially since I deal with a lot of scary topics in psych and politics and usually use it as a way to bring to real topics. Weirdly gets people to open up about their real traumas too, for some reason.
Plus it’s friends, so you know, very different context lol

Yeah, that was a lot of blood.

Honestly I’m pretty sure you can already do this. Your average person is remarkably superstitious and believes in angels and demons and such, it doesn’t take much to also think they were cursed. Lol
- Comment on I love to send the most absurd messages I can think of to steam scammers 5 weeks ago:
You’re right, the prequels have dead kids, almost no women, and heck, it even has a dear leader taking over the Senate and declaring himself emporer in the name of safety. Republican wet dream.

Positive spin, he bought it from a pro-LGBTQ+ thrift store to support local causes in his area. I swear I’ve seen similar jackets at said thrift stores.

Psych background, it’s bad too but nothing makes me scream more than the “you only use 10% of the brain” crap. When that movie all about that came out I absolutely lost it.

That’s why you always go for the porn family plan, much better value and you can share it with Grandma /s

Using it for education? Not this current model, not by a long shot. Granted, I’m in higher ed, but even then it’s suggestions have been so mediocre at best I’ve had to drastically modify anything it suggests to the point it’s no longer time efficient to use it.
And believe me, I’d love it to grade essays for me but there’s no way I can trust it with that simple task yet, even with a rubric.

Taco place I know sells them at 5 bucks a taco. 35 dollars of taco is enough unless you’re paying and if so, I’ll also have 7 tacos.

Traditionally, yes, but I do want to note that modern takes use it to also argue for cooperation, since working with with others is good for survival and passing on genes. They also are the first to tell people how bunk the alpha male crap is, and the fact a lone wolf is a dead wolf.

Adds a certain level of tension to the shopping experience, plus we know stores use slow songs to slow people down and shop more.

I’m not sure what the reaction is if Mystic Quests Battle 2 theme played at the super market. Lol
- Comment on Oh NOOOO 1 month ago:
Hasn’t happened to me because I listen to video game music and if my local grocer fucking started playing the Monster Hunter theme I would absolutely lose my shit.
(Once in Japan a small shop selling pottery was playing a song from FF5 and I bought a lovely cup out of principle).

AI slop kind of reads like a real life political cartoon given all the flags and a guy literally wearing an AMERICA shirt, as one does of course.
