I mean, yeah, sure. But if perfection is two steps to the left and you refuse…why?

I won’t hear shit about education from the mealy-mouthed fucks that created Cockney. Piss off to the pub, geezer.

…the chicken is literally raw.
I get the “respect partners as people” angle but you have to at least look at the image.

With climate change on the horizon, people with real, applicable skills will come around again. Because we’re all eating roach stew and 49’ing, like nasty boys in Fallout.

Why would you do this to me

That is silly. There are absolutely brilliant people in among humanity, like gold dust sprinkled amidst sand.

“Ouch.”

Yes, thank you. For some reason, I’m always surprised when trying to be evocative backfires into misunderstanding.
- Comment on Steam Next Fest has started once again. What good demos have you found? 1 week ago:
This one is REAL rough, not much interesting I’ve seen

Surely, you heard of “tabloids”?
- Comment on Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver - Official Teaser Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, it’s not trendy but I don’t think we can do trendy unless we do like I said and derive from standout games with identifiable suites of mechanics. You just have to be descriptive or accept heavy overlap.
“Auto shooter” is not very descriptive. In 10 years, someone would be having this same conversation about that term. Asteroids is basically an auto shooter because there’s no reason to not always be shooting, it’s effectively a QOL change. Some bullet hells too.
- Comment on Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver - Official Teaser Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Video game genres are one of the few fields in which I’m not a prescriptivist. But survivorlikes only aren’t called RPGs because Vampire Survivor is embossed on the whole subgenre. The suite of mechanics rose to high prominence on the back of one game (or franchise, in the case of Soulslikes) rather than refined through years of experimentation.
We aren’t going to get more, simple names unless they’re similarly derived from a single, famous ancestor like your “Soulslike”. But you can always just be descriptive. Diablo/PoE are “top-down gear-grind RPGs”; it’s jargony but all subgenres are.

I’ve never seen Horizon Zero Dawn called an ARPG but that does seem to be the consensus. I’ve always considered games like that or new God of War to be “adventure games”.

No, they don’t. They both forget he exists.

Don’t tempt them. Or they’ll keep releasing Deltarune(-derivative clones) for the next 5 years

I have seen variations of the vegetable innvoation in the wild, although you can never tell when things are ironic anymore
- Comment on Y'all ever think maybe the hype around melding your body and mind with an Asari is all bs and their pussy juices are just hallucinogenic? 2 weeks ago:
Idk if they even really need to touch. Y’know that sorta telepath thing where you touch your forehead unnecessarily.
I think it’s just close enough proximity to do the biotic banging.
- Comment on So close! 2 weeks ago:
Oh god no, I don’t talk to people in public any more.
I have repeatedly got “oldman yells from porch” angry when I see a string of "peak"s and “absolute cinema” under any form of media which, at best, can only claim it wasn’t trying to sell me something. I won’t get further into that because it’s not productive and probably sounds elitist.

You dom’t have to do PIV to meld with them or even get an asari pregnant…so probably not.
- Comment on So close! 2 weeks ago:
Somehow, without the aid of nuclear devestation, people have managed to reset to Year 0. Just “rediscovering” shit that already existed as if it’s new tech. And then try to sell it to people.
It’d almost be funny if it didn’t make me so fuckin mad.

Weird. I thought it was funny because the dog’s face is funny-looking.

That’s why you practice with rocks. Like what slings originally did.

Idk. Everyone’s done something but I don’t know them like that.
I was adopting a joke stance against their dragon fuckinf.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 3 weeks ago:
I already lack the energy required to try and explain how you’ve created an unnecessary division.
Small talk is just talking about unimportant things, because it can be considered impolite to start digging into the core of stranger’s identity while you’re both waiting in line. Sounds to me like you’re putting your discomfort around strangers on small talk.
I am also an introvert. I’ve just put effort into trying to continue conversations.
- Comment on Never Forget. Please dear god don't forget 3 weeks ago:
I smiled.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 3 weeks ago:
I think everyone needs to recalibrate what ‘small talk’ is.
Some people are acting so opposed to small talk, as if it requires writing an essay on why you love a list of pop culture influencers and reality stars.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 3 weeks ago:
when we’re talking about the kitties doing something cute or what we wanna have for dinner that’s not small talk.
What else do you imagine is part of “small talk”?

I can’t, morally, upvote you but I appreciate your self-consistency.
