  After 5 million years, a pristine dollar bill will be a priceless historical artifact. I’ll take that.

  I’ve bought it at least 5 times; sent it to a lot of family members.

  You missed scroll hijacking because reinventing how things move on the screen is important for some reason?

  Did you try flipping the magnet over? If you put the two north ends together they’ll repel instead of attract.

  Yeah I start at the 5, clockwise.

  I like the idea of having a little guy go out and sort my items for me. That’ll be a welcome addition to the game.

  Forget monogamy, I just need a mathematical relationship!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Monogamy? In THIS economy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So non-monogamy is generally looked down upon because a lot of people have bad outcomes from it.

  In the vast majority of these situations, the couple has decided to see other people because they are trying to avoid or alleviate the problems they are currently dealing with. If you or your spouse are not mature enough to handle one relationship, there’s no way in hell that the exponential complexity of a polyamorous relationship will work.

  That being said, it sounds like you ARE one of the few people who are considering non-monogamy for the right reasons. Some of the most important things you need to do to make this successful:

  • Great communication. No games, no bottling up your feelings. You need to be able to clearly express what your hopes and fears are, and then listen to those from each other person.
  • Handle jealousy and loneliness. If you’re a jealous-type person, best to stop now. You need to be comfortable with your partners spending a significant amount of time together, without you. And you need to use that time doing things you want to do, not feeling left out.
  • Secure in your self. Don’t base your self-worth on what your partner thinks about you. Successful non-monogamous people are not dependent on their partners as their sole source of happiness.
  • Flexibility. You need to be adaptable to new situations, because a lot of things will be changing rapidly. Successful polyamorous people embrace the ever-changing nature of life rather than try to stop it.
  • Be able to handle loss. All relationships end at some point. With non-monogamy, that happens far more often than with just two people. Remember that a relationship ending doesn’t invalidate the goodness it brought to your life in the past. You need to be prepared to process events like this.

  One great book on non-monogamy is More Than Two. I highly recommend everybody giving it a read before moving forward.

  Having a polyamorous relationship can be very fulfilling! If you can navigate the complexity, it’s a wonderful way to maximize life.

  We’ve gotten so good at faking most lighting effects that honestly RTX isn’t a huge win except in certain types of scenes.

  Dogs do love a good jog though. Give that good boi a bit of kibble and then see how he feels.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC Reddit⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, what I’m pushing back against are the people in this thread who are implying it’s impossible to find time to buy food and sleep, not people like you who are saying “I’d rather trade my money to buy additional time for leisure”, which is perfectly reasonable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC Reddit⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I do have kids and two jobs. I’m not sure what your point is. Half the time I use grocery store runs as way to talk to my kids in an environment where they’re not distracted by technology.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC Reddit⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you don’t have an hour to buy food, there’s something supremely fucked up about your priorities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC Reddit⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How can you not have time to buy groceries? It’s not that big of a process.

  I understand not having a car though. Some places are not very walkable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nier creator Yoko Taro reveals the sad reality of modern AAA game development, “there’s less weird people making games”⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Makes sense. AAA games are finance projects more than creative projects. Yeah there’s a lot of art and writing and stuff, but it’s all calibrated to make the most money and anything that threatens it is jettisoned. This makes them formulaic to a fault.

  Indie games are passion projects, so you see a lot of weird stuff out there. Most of them are utter failures, financially, but the ones that survive are truly something special.

  This evidence is certainly in contrast to those who believe, based on the writings of Charles Dickens alone

  🤣 this writer is genius

  If killing Cthulhu is all it takes to solve the box-packing problem, Amazon would have already done it. No, this is something far more sinister than that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fractured Blooms is a cosy game about tending your garden and-- oh god that's a lot of blood⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It was announced at the Summer Game Fest, where presenter Geoff Keighly described the game as “Doki Doki Literature Club meets Silent Hill”. There’s no release date, but here’s a trailer.

  That’s a pretty high bar. If they can pull it off it’ll be legendary.

  Agreed, but the drugs certainly made it worse.

  Actually my theory is that ketamine + Twitter is the perfect storm of getting permanently sucked into an alt-right fantasy world.
