Inscryption, 100%. Such a good game. Tons of post game content, too.

Just imagine, for a moment, having your salary even being a million dollars a year. Even with a mortgage and kids, that would be a fuckload of money. 95 times that is insane. Even after buying multiple supercars, a mansion, and a fancy boat, you’d still have more money than you could possibly use, ever. And that’s just one year of pay.
God, even if you invested part of a million a year, you’d be fantastically wealthy.

- Comment on ‘I realised I’d been ChatGPT-ed into bed’: how ‘Chatfishing’ made finding love on dating apps even weirder 3 weeks ago:
Heh, they already beat you to it. If you haven’t seen Her, you really should. It’s a very poignant movie, but it has a good ending. It is extremely fitting as people get lonely.

Honestly, I feel like some of what AI does isn’t necessary. If you’re having trouble finding out if someone is either being distant out of respect, or distant because they are uninterested, you could ask them in a kind way about what their vibes are. I think I’d prefer honesty over AI, and that’s what I did when I was single and still dating.

Trump was sworn in in January of '25. That really was under the Biden admin, not that there was much they could do with Congress locked up with crazies and the US government Hindenburging around it.

It’s infuriating. People are asking for a hand up, not a hand out.

I wish we had central planning for power and rail. It would help a lot with the expansion of both technologies.

Silksong and helldivers 2.
I wanna try MGSV, but it hasn’t gone on sale since the 70 buck remaster came out.
- Comment on Way past its prime: how did Amazon get so rubbish? 4 weeks ago:
Finding things is such a pain in the ass nowadays. You get a problem with something, say you need a spare part. None of the stores have it. It is on Amazon…but it won’t be here for a solid two weeks. It’s infuriating.
Something that should take less than an hour to fix is now a multi week wait, because of stupid online retailers. And it will be something super common, like a tool to tighten up loose spokes on a bike wheel.
- Comment on Steam Autumn Sale 2025 Has Begun 4 weeks ago:
I still want to play MGSV, but it’s currently not on sale. My guess is because of the latest remaster.

It’s a scam. I’m surprised people haven’t gone to jail, though in the current climate, you know none of them would see a cell.

Pacific Drive has amazing music. So good that I started following some of the bands behind it. The Smoky Brights are a new favorite of mine.

Ugh, I hate how there’s no opt out. Just read a good blog post on dark patterns, written by a furry. It’s a good post.

The abrupt decision by the network, which is owned by the Walt Disney Company, came hours after the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, assailed Mr. Kimmel and suggested that his regulatory agency might take action against ABC because of remarks the host made on his Monday telecast.

There’s a fourth borderlands game? IDGAF if it even comes to steam this time, silksong is $20.
- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 2 months ago:
I wish there were more games that had NSFW stuff, but not as the main focus. BG3, Cyberpunk, The Witcher, etc all have nudity, but the sex scenes are short, cropped, and half assed because they are embarrassed.
There needs to be quicktime events, better cinematics, and werewolves (BG3, Elder Scrolls, Witcher) during erotic scenes. Bring back A/O games. Many of these shouldn’t be even remotely aimed at anyone below 18 anyways.
Hell, the last genuinely fun game with kink in it was Saints Row 3, and that was for comedic effect.

Underwater welding, too. The compensation is insanely high because it is unbelievably dangerous, especially with large pressure differences (eg, working on undersea sewer outflows that can suck you in while welding them shut.)
Here’s an interesting video on Delta P, and why it’s so dangerous.
