- Comment on What's the rarest Steam achievement you got? 2 days ago:
I don’t remember what I did to get this, but apparently it involved eating corn. The game was Backseat Drivers. Image
The most rare ones I have are for delisted games like Marvel Heroes or Rocksmith. So here’s the next and more worthy two that were actually a challenge. Both are from Cave Story. Image Image

I haven’t owned a Sony console since the PS2, but I will gladly double, even triple, my effort to continue to do nothing!

- Comment on New hobby 1 week ago:
I got a few of those. One memorable one in particular was from a guy that was raging hard.
“If you don’t stop fucking calling me, I’m going to come to your house and kill your whole family.”
Okay, chill dude… I’m not doing it. Clearly someone is faking my number. Just block me and move on.
“NO! I’M SICK OF MY PHONE RINGING ALL DAY LONG! YOU NEED TO STOP OR WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS YOUR FAULT!!!”
Okay… So I’m gonna go ahead and call the police now… Have a better day, man.
It was like the start of a damn horror story.
- Comment on Tracey fucked around and found out 1 week ago:
It does say “remaining quarter” which is definitely meant to be a quarter of what’s left. With word problems, you generally follow the order the statements are made. So your first assumption is correct. 16-4=12 Rachel is left with twelve bars, which we need for the next part of the statement.
12/4=3 Tracey asks for a “remaining quarter” and thus takes three. 4+3=7 Tracey now has 7 bars.It’s just a terribly phrased sentence. Appropriately worded and still coded correctly, it should say something like:
Rachel has sixteen chocolate bars. Tracey takes four from her and then asks for a quarter of what remains.
How many bars does Tracey now have?

- Comment on Off to the mandatory company picnic we go... 3 weeks ago:
I feel you. I had that 2 weeks ago. Corporate mandated picnic that was 5 hours of seminars that could have been a 5 minute newsletter followed by an hour of corporate landed “fun.” Plus I had to work after, so my day was 13 hours while everyone else got to go home with a full day’s pay.
Today it’s a “mandatory” 9am staff meeting with the director and another 13 hour day.
- Comment on Game suggestions: Downvote any game you've heard of before 4 weeks ago:
Excellent game! So satisfying when you get a run that totally breaks the game! And it just got a true online coop mod! Previously you could play with one Fight and up to three players could be Orbs.

Knowing how a several modern drinks got their start, it probably had a decent amount of coke and/or lithium in it.

I’ve tried almost all of them, Connect had the nicer feel and I was able to customize it similar to BaconReader. The dev is quick to respond and push fixes too.

- Comment on Any other games that have a similar vibe to My Summer Car? 1 month ago:
The La-Mulana series. They’re side scrolling metroidvanias that absolutely hate you. Gretting hit is frequently fatal. Finding secrets aren’t just for fun, they’re a requirement. Puzzles range from pretty easy to “What in the actual fuck? How do I get there?” Hints are puzzles on their own. To top it all off, the lore is amazing and very well planned out. You’re basically setting out with nothing but a whip on a quest to look for your father and, in the process, you find god…
I’ve managed to beat both a few times and can say, they are, by far, two of the most difficult and well constructed games I’ve ever played.

Seriously, just stop answering. Make sure your contacts are up to date. Only accept calls from people you know.
When you get an unknown caller, don’t pick up. Don’t click decline. Declining let’s them know there’s a live person on the other end. Just let it ring until their system times out and hangs up. Let it happen enough and they slow down to a stop. I’ve seriously only gotten one in the past 5 months.
If you don’t answer and it’s actually something important, they’ll leave a message. The scammers never, ever do.
- Comment on Poop! 1 month ago:
No, your body does stuff like this all the time. It’s an osmotic process, if I remember right. Just water or mucous passing through the membrane of your intestines. Unless there’s something seriously wrong with you, you’re totally fine. I’d give a link, but I’m not searching Google for “poop reabsorption” with an ear infection right now. 🤢

- Comment on Gog Promotional E-Mail Containing Nazi Symbols Goes Out to Subscribers 1 month ago:
I’ll give you that, and the swastika and manji came to mind. I’d originally included in my post the suggestion about going and putting up swastikas and was like… “wait… That’s still a thing.”
I get that it’s a Norse rune and I recognize the history and heritage in the same way, but in that case maybe just one ᛋ would have sufficed. However, considering someone thought enough to say, “Hey, this is going to be problem in Germany.” it would have hurt literally no one to just say, “maybe we just shouldn’t to it at all.” Deleted. Literally no controversy.
Instead… here we are.
- Comment on Gog Promotional E-Mail Containing Nazi Symbols Goes Out to Subscribers 1 month ago:
Wow… I really don’t buy those excuses…
They literally admit to seeing the problem before distribution, but instead of just deleting them from the email, they decide to just not include the place where it would get them into the most legal trouble instead?
Uh… No… That’s not an accident anymore. There’s no oopsie there.
Then they go and double down on reddit by giving the excuse that the symbol has been around way longer than it’s modern historical use, so we shouldn’t stop using it because someone corrupted it?
No, that’s not how it works.
Things get ruined and they take on new meanings, that includes words and symbols. You don’t just get to decide that you’re going to take back the symbol of some of the worst evil mankind has known just because it had another meaning before that and then expect everyone to be like, “Oh, alright…” It has a new meaning now. One that everyone recognizes… A meaning that it is blatantly apparent they were aware of beforehand and decided to use anyway.
Anyone buying that bullshit excuse is an idiot.
Fuck GoG.

$400 fucking dollars for a toaster??? No… Just… No. Fuck off. I hate this timeline so much. Marty Mcfly needs to go unfuck whatever it is he fucked up, because if I see his ass and he hasn’t, I’m kicking him in the balls so hard his kids feel it.
