  You expect an official release of Tale of Two Wastelands?

  Each game will be released separately for 70 dollars and will be disappointing.

  It’s a shitpost

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe three towels⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can do three towels, but then I have to do laundry. And I just did it, so I’d have to wait and honestly it’s…

  I’ll see if I have some paper towels.

  Y’all get 5 hrs of sleep a night??

  Crazy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lmao⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was flummoxed for a while because it sounds like this isn’t even related to what I was saying. Until it clicked that it wasn’t.

  I only said to be wary of anthropomorphizing non-human creatures. Saying all life explores is assigning the human definition of “going out and charting the uncharted” to all of the exploration that any creature that actually explores does. Other interstellar species could go into space for perfectly practical reasons, like their planet is dying or it’s over capacity and they don’t want to cull their population. Assigning “human wanderlust” as a facet of all (intelligent) life isn’t correct.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lmao⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How much “exploring” do sedentary lifeforms (plants, mussels, etc) really get up to?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨me & the 2 guys my parents sent with me on my solo trip to watch over me⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they mean people who say they don’t want to date anyone.

  “I’m working on myself.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lmao⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s ascribing human motivations to non-humans. They could be fundamentally non-curious, only using their relative intelligence to solve actual problems in their environment rather than pushing for “what if?”.

  Ain’t no shot he tips.

  Probably disputes the delivery, in order to get a refund too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Being Difficult⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The joke is that quantum mechanics are difficult to understand, so the commenter doubts their ability to properly explain it (to women). The replier assumed it was a dig at women’s intelligence, not a reflection of the original commenter’s intelligence and ability to explain.

  I.e. a stupid person would have difficulty explaining anything to women.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's a matter of motivation⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I…what?

  In your mind, what happened to the rest of my comment that preceded the literal final line you quoted?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's a matter of motivation⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What do work hours of people not in the farming industry have to do with the raw costs of food?

  The “cost of food” abstracted from the “amount people have to pay downstream to afford food” by companies desire for profit. One guy can manage acres of land with a few good machines. Food is cheap: that is why people can afford to ship it around the world to be processed in one country and then sold across the ocean in another country. We don’t have to work as many hours as we do to sustain ourselves to the level they did back then. Industrialists have just countered work efficiency improvements with…more work.

  “May contain leeches”? It’s landlord meat: it is leeches.

  Always knew Spain and Italy got that basic pussy smh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is bored of it all⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t get that opinion. It’s a place where you, depending on what you pay for, get to eat and drink as much as you like, while reading in the sun. Sometimes you even stop in ports and find other cool places to visit later. If you can’t ignore the other passengers, then you need a higher level in Ignore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And no paper towels to use on the handle⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why I try not to touch most things with my hands.

  I should also order more handkerchiefs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And no paper towels to use on the handle⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The only reason touching doorknobs is gross is because people don’t wash their hands.

  Unless you’re willing to opt in to some kinda bathroom panopticon that locks the bathroom until everyone trying to leave has properly washed their hands, it’s probably best to just avoid a knobbed door.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I played the demo of the first game but I had never played a Souls game before, so I couldn’t properly compare even though I had some dissonant vibes with the combat pacing.

  Glad they made enough to continue working.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I do exactly that. I have complementary libraries on GoG and Steam, although Steam is obviously bigger.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's nothing 'euro' about 'eurojank,' says Stalker dev⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Assuming you aren’t from Ukraine, how much did Ukraine impact your daily life/touch your daily awareness before it became a battlefield? Countries shouldn’t gain more respect just because they’re incorporated as a country, especially when it’s halfway across the world.

  (Researched, via Wikipedia and WorldPopulationReview) Missouri has a population of 6.3 million and total land area of ~178K km; larger in size than countries like Greece and Hungary, and more populous than countries like Denmark and Finland and Ireland. So it should be less regarded than any of those countries because it remains a state?

  My stance is: either you should believe any population center of a reasonably large size/population density is worth memorizing or you should just memorize the ones relatively important to you.

  There are probably distinct provinces in Canada and China outperforming many countries, so why should they exist on a lower tier than a “country”, just because they were persuaded or “persuaded” to incorporate into something larger?

  Oh no.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's nothing 'euro' about 'eurojank,' says Stalker dev⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s probably true.

  Just like I suspect most Europeans couldn’t point out Mississippi or Missouri or Missachetts on the map.

  Or even know that “Missachetts” isn’t a real state.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's nothing 'euro' about 'eurojank,' says Stalker dev⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe it’s a US/EU difference, where EU people wanted to be more specific. I was responding to the incorrect claim that nobody uses the the term “eurojank”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's nothing 'euro' about 'eurojank,' says Stalker dev⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  While I commiserate with people not wanting to be “typecast” like the other dev complaining about the term JRPG, I’ve never parsed the terms as boxing in devs to their location. “JRPG” and “eurojank” are posthoc titles describing where the collection of features coalesced. Just like Expedition 33 is a JRPG, despite japanese RPGs pioneering the feature set and aesthetic back in the 90s.

  “Eurojank” is more aesthetic and ‘vibe’ than genre features though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's nothing 'euro' about 'eurojank,' says Stalker dev⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve literally never seen anyone call it “slavjank”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You know what, fair enough.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So 3 minutes it is.

  And it would be good if they showed something like that on screen. Shows Jon as a kind friend, if a little too soft.
