His gross VP and like, half the GOP would have to go with him. All the monsters like Miller are already burrowing in like a parasitic worm.
- Comment on What are your favorite 1000+ hour games? 3 days ago:
Elite Dangerous. Well over 1,000 hours, especially with friends to explore the black with. Hard to get into, but it has so much stuff to do. It made me passionate about space! (And it’s always fun reading articles about a far-flung star and thinking “hey! I’ve been there!”)

Could have been worse, he wasn’t creampied like that anti-gay orange juice lady in the 70s or 80s.
- Comment on Why do some men dis other men who sit to pee? (& follow-up questions) 4 weeks ago:
Catheter, adult diapers, or dehydrate yourself, haha. I hate places where there two urinals and one stall per 500 people during a 15 minute intermission.
I usually just dehydrate myself a bit if I know the restrooms are essentially out of service.

I don’t think people really care, lol. Unless they like to learn their friends peeing preferences, they probably have an ulterior motive if they are that interested.

Undead nightmarrrrre, fuck yes. I generally don’t like rockstar games these days, but undead nightmare was so fucking good. I might actually have to buy it
- Comment on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Dev Says Big Budget Games Are Failing in Part Because Teams Are Over-Scoping Their Projects 1 month ago:
Single player games with a good story and fun replayability are what I’m after. Or co-op. Occasionally, a fun multiplayer with a risky, innovative design like Lethal Company.
If a game requires me to collect 100 goddamn feathers, or press X 20 times to “survive” a heavily scripted encounter, you are doing your game wrong. Look at Black Mesa, look at Subnatica. Look at the games that took risks like Lethal Company or Elite Dangerous. You don’t have to appeal to everyone. You have to tell a story well, and the gameplay should be unique and interesting. Larian understood that with Divinity 2, and made improvements to both story and gameplay in BG3.
- Comment on Assetto Corsa EVO Announcement Trailer 1 month ago:
Looks pretty good, though the lack of particle effects is a bit odd. There are no decals from skidding tires either. Perhaps just alpha footage.
- Comment on do ribbed condoms feel better than smooth during anal? 1 month ago:
They don’t really make much of a difference, imo. There are wearable products out there that can add a texture difference, but they are incompatible with condoms if you are trying to reduce the risk of STDs.
That said, there are many ways to spice up sex in new and fun ways, even outside of condom choice :)
- Comment on American tourists visiting the EU, what do you think of it? 2 months ago:
Really depends on where you go! Certain parts feel safer, other parts feel less safe (or less comfortable to walk through safely). I’m not going to name names, as I’ve only been to various countries for a bit at a time, it would be unfair to pass judgement on entire nations based off a small experience.
The public transit is usually a cut above. Some of the driving feels dangerous. The food prices are somewhat expensive, but the food is generally less UPF-laced.
The more relaxed culture around nudity is refreshing. The lack of large, wild parks is a bit disappointing (or perhaps we missed these entirely), but various nations seem to be catching on to rewilding. The history is fascinating, and europeans generally think much more long-term than Americans, but the bad blood also runs deep, which is a little worrying. I’m glad the EU keeps everyone together.
Overall, it’s fun to visit, it generally feels safe, cultured, and the transit is very great, particularly the train systems. It has it’s problems just like other places in Africa, North America, and Central America.
If I had to live in a non-english speaking country, I’d probably pick Spain. Wonderful people, great transit, a relaxed culture, and excellent food, though France and Germany give Spain a run for their money on several of these points.

Don’t forget the meta where a new paid DLC weapon is super unbalanced and great for two weeks until the devs nerf it into the ground and everyone goes back to the default weapons that are just ok.

I agree!

Heh, the first step in a long series of steps towards orbital shipyards and coriolis-class space stations.
The future is looking bright.

Red rescue team, if you haven’t played a pokemon mystery dungeon game before. I played the DS version (blue rescue team) and loved it.

- Comment on How Did Mpox Become a Global Emergency? What’s Next? - The New York Times 3 months ago:
It’s a pox virus. The vehicles may change, but it’s related to other pox viruses like smallpox. Primarily through skin contact, which can include sex. The fact that it’s spreading through children is a bad sign, though, as schools are a big vector.

I’m surprised we aren’t really reusing greywater for watering parks, cleaning streets, public (decorative) fountains, etc. Seems like a waste.

Hmm, no 9800x. Disappointing. There’s no way I’m paying $500 for a CPU.
- Comment on Is there any actual standalone AI software? 3 months ago:
You can load up your own datasets, has some of its own, too. Most of these are pretty good, but run on synthetic data. Storing and processing something the size of chatgpt would bankrupt most people.
This program can use significant amounts of computer resources if you let her eat. I recommend closing other programs and games.
- Comment on Does voting for Biden change anything if I live in a deep red area of my state? (Ohio) 3 months ago:
Absolutely. Voting in federal, state, and local elections makes big differences. I’ve lived in red and blue states, and my votes have personally swayed policy for red and blue states. Some of the stuff I voted for passed on margins as slim as 1,200 votes, in a city of hundreds of thousands of people (guess how many of them voted?)
As a direct result of me voting, my life dramatically improved because my cut bus lines were restored, the feds rebuilt parts of my city, and people were no longer getting arrested on bullshit charges.
Further civic action saved one local park from redevelopment.
So few people actually vote, even fewer with bad takes. So voting can have a profound impact on your life and other’s lives. Some of my friends got the right to marry. Some others lost their ability to access healthcare and were forced to move states to access it again. It makes a difference.
This doesn’t end with Americans either. You guys worldwide have had a number of extremely close elections, see the list below. Do your civic duty and vote! It can take an hour or less with a bit of research, and has a surprisingly big impact on your life.
- Comment on Report: Resident Evil 7 on iOS has earned Capcom $28,140 since launch 4 months ago:
Eh. Not really interested unless I can play Halo 3 on my phone. And even then, the DRM on the MCC is so awful that it makes me constantly sign in on my steam deck.
Mobile gaming had it’s time in the sun with Plants Vs Zombies and Infinity Blade. It’s been downhill ever since with the rise of f2p gambling/lootcrate games. I don’t see mobile gaming ever coming back from that until regulations are much, much stronger.

This happened to me, except it was an antivaxxer coworker, and he gave me his preventable disease right before I was supposed to be going on an international ski trip with friends for my birthday. I wanted to murder him :)
- Comment on I don't have AC but my apartment lease covers unlimited water usage and the water is very cold. How can I best use this to cool my home? 4 months ago:
Just get a window AC if you have the right type of windows. Otherwise, a dual hose portable heat pump from costco or other reputable source.
- Comment on Does anyone else feel like fireworks are a complete waste of money and a ridiculous amount of unnecessary Pollution? 4 months ago:
About 41,000 Americans die in fatal car accidents, with another 289,000 injured in 2022 alone, from distracted driving. If we are going to be banning dangerous things, heavy consumer cars and trucks should probably be right up there.

Oh, I meant the underlying account name itself. The account that you log in with if you don’t use a QR code.

If anyone ever figures this out for your Steam account (not the gamertag, which can be changed), lmk, I’m in a similar boat.
