I feel that for just a few dollars more (a lot more dollars now) I could have bypassed this inconvenience.
Ain’t this the truth. “Do I buy this thing I sort of need right now when it’s a BIT overpriced, or wait until it gets REALLY overpriced” is the modern dilemma consumers are facing across the board, it seems.

Now that all the AA’s have been ported (I am still SHOCKED we got Investigations 2 tbh) , I am hopeful that we will get a new one soon.

No worries, it does only show the steam link thumbnail on mobile (I was on desktop originally)

While I agree with you wrt consoles locking people in, my parents are hobby console collectors and that got passed down to me. I buy whatever comes out and sell as needed. But is it getting less fun to collect with the current gen, I’m not gonna lie. Games don’t even come on discs anymore, so a physical collection is starting to become useless.
For anyone curious: I don’t scalp/resell btw, MSRP + shipping as needed, this is a hobby not a side hustle for me.

I’m still running a 2080Ti so I’m still doing ok, but it it definitely starting to show it’s age. I somehow ended up with an Intel low profile GPU from my local tech store (I couldn’t even tell you the model) for like $65USD and it had display port so I decided to plug my monitors into it, and it helped my primary GPU performance more than I expected. Maybe something to look into?

good to know, mine’s actually currently upside down because that’s the only way the power cord reaches my outlet 💀

Buying the disk version of the Playstation 5 at launch might have been the best investment I’ve made this decade, followed closely by the extra RAM kit and 2TB Samsung 990 SSD I bought in Aug. 2025.
Guess I can eat avocado toast guilt-free 🥹

I just googled Tira-292b and you know what, it doesn’t set off that uneasy feeling for me. It just…kind of looks like Westeros? Which is based on parts of Earth so I guess that makes sense.
Alien Biospheres project Also, thank you for the recommendation, I WILL be checking this out, if only to test my uncanny valley triggers to this a bit more. Time to experiment on myself 😭

Every other planetary surface you’ve seen is rocky dirt, icy dirt, straight-up ice, cratery dirt, or opaque gas clouds
Wait this is so true, and I’ve never even thought about it. Space photography has a lot of pictures from the Moon, Mars, and Venus (I’ve never seen those Titan photos, so thank you for the link), but there are no “real” photos of a planet with oceans. That might be where the “uncanny valley” kicks in, with my brain going “this doesn’t look quite right”. I do get a similar feeling when I see AIgen videos, so you might be onto something!

We almost certainly got no idea what its continents look like at that distance.
I understand this, but I also get unease from RNG maps from games like Age of Empires or Anno, and I’ve talked to a couple of other people who also have experienced this, so I was wondering if there was an underlying psychology to it. However, it’s not an easily Googleable query, and I refuse to ask an AI chatbot about it.

This fit MIGHT get you into Berghain.
- Comment on Real 4 weeks ago:
No but seriously, why DO continents/landmasses on other planets give a sense of unease/uncanny valley (at least to me)? Is it just the lack of familiarity?

Isn’t the 7 Kingdoms just England? With Scotland being north of the wall (which…LMAO at the implications on that one George)

As someone who didn’t like Max Payne as much as other others, I’m loving this new era of Remedy.
That being said, I’m waiting for them to integrate it into the AlanWakeControlQuantiumBreakiverse (or whatever we’re calling it) somehow through the remakes.

My EA internship at one of their Canadian offices was the best experience I’ve had in the gaming industry. I feel for my colleagues there, no doubt the work culture is about to get real toxic for them.

men on average think about sex about 8 times as much as women
Spontaneous thoughts of sex /= the entire spectrum of sexual desire.
They’ve done studies.
I’m not even gonna get into the sociological aspects of this, it’s a meme community.
- Comment on Covers the bases 7 months ago:
A lot of my female friends are, for a lack of a better term, “woke” (not derogatory) and they have grievances with stuff Cavill has said in the past in regards to women and feminism. I’m not sure on the details, but it was enough of a turn off for them apparently. I have no skin in the game.
- Comment on Covers the bases 7 months ago:
I love everyone in the comments trying to argue what is the objectively best min-max strats of going to the gym and finding a partner, as if Pyramid Head, Bowser, and Shadow the Hedgehog aren’t always topping the “God I wish they were real” lists for women. Girls are just as horny as guys, they just don’t show it outside certain spaces due to societal constraints.
Men, what I’m saying is: get into cosplay. Thank me later.

Henry Cavill. Look at women’s reaction to him, and tell us we’re wrong for wanting to include physical stature into our personal goals.
Most women I personally know actually aren’t that attracted to Henry Cavill. It’s the dudes that think he’s the perfect specimen.
