  • called a video game, but I feel like that’s for lack of a better term

    Its the perfect term for it, your definition of “game” is likely incomplete:

    A game is a structured type of play, usually undertaken for entertainment or fun, and sometimes used as an educational tool

    Note that it’s usually for fun, but does not need to be. Flower is a game by that definition. ETA: I also actually had fun playing Flower on my Vita back when it was new so…

    Adding “video” to it is probably the weaker part of the phrase, “digital” is probably more accurate but I doubt people are going to change terminology like that for something so minor


  • Trying to hold onto my desire to play FFXIV since I have a personal large house and years invested

    But honestly the recent expansion having the worst story we’ve seen in a final fantasy ANYTHING alongside multiple staff members pretending Wuk Lamat’s voice acting was acceptable (and the large portion of the player base that will call you a transphobe for that opinion) has me seriously considering if this is the end of the line for me

    Tried picking up GW2 but tank controls disgust me




  • Mine would be all purple but BLOPS6 came out in October and I haven’t really even booted into Linux since thanks to my completely healthy and normal playtime in zombies

    Like my chart is literally purple until the end of October then spikes exclusively to windows as the addiction gripped me

    Just got a 7900xtx in my machine to replace the aged 2080ti so I’m excited to try some of my Linux games again with that beast, but I’m so close to opal SMGs…

    Its adorable that you think someone’s being hired to only do cart work in the modern day

    That’s one responsibility for someone doing a shit ton of other things, usually shopping for remote orders nowadays

    So yeah, they’d be inside, return the cart you massive cunt

    The TSA certainly seems to be catch some number of potential incidents

    Should have been more clear (oh wait just reread my comment and I already was clear on this your point is irrelevant): incidents of actual terrorism and not people forgetting something in their bag with 0 intention of actually doing something with it. They also love to take shit that should be allowed, too, because they’re thieves on a power trip

    But one more notable consequence of the TSA (and contemporary international organizations) has been a sharp plunge in the frequency of airplane hijackings, which I certainly appreciate.

    Not the TSA at all, that’s the air Marshalls and other increased security in the actual plane like hard locked cockpits


  • Its the TSA employees that need to hear that, not me

    I’m a fucking customer service rep in my normal job, I get that public facing roles suck. I walk up with my ID ready, ready to follow the arbitrary rule changes theyve made in the last few weeks, and use basic politeness even when they’re incredibly rude to my face

    Abolish the TSA, they’re entirely useless


  • because she isn’t doing the REAL WORK of playing candy crush in a squad car like a proper police officer.

    Your words, not mine, fuck the police and don’t put words in my mouth

    FFS, I’d argue that TSA is the most useful form of police officer currently on duty

    You’d very much be wrong. While the cops aren’t great by any means the TSA consistently fails audits and has, last I heard, stopped an estimated 0 incidents of terrorism. Cops at least do have track records of stopping some crimes

    I’ve been through my local airport a hundred times and I consistently find them to be polite, patient, and stoic in a way street cops never are.

    I’m very glad you’ve had that experience, actually. Having flown out of 12 states and 4 countries: US TSA is the rudest and slowest of the security teams 99.9% of the time and it’s not even close



  • My wife and I will cuddle up most nights to continue q show we’re watching, we finish WWDITS (finale just aired) and move on to something else tonight

    Though our “TV” is my local Plex instance running stuff I request through Overseerr rather than even the normal streaming platforms, so I have a much better experience than those provide

    As for news and the like: YouTube, specific creators like the daily show or journalists I know have actual merit, and my local station through plexs live tv



  • Its shockingly easy to produce pounds of mushrooms, btw

    Clear 10Gal bin from Walmart (I use 4 for diff stages and always having some growing) - $12/ea

    Pack of wide mouth bell jars - $30

    Jar lids for mycology: pack of 6 for $12

    Coco coir - I got 12 bricks for $50 years ago and still going strong with over half my supply

    Brown rice flour - $4 a bag at my local store

    Perlite: varies depending on the time of year. Got a huge bag for like 60 bucks last winter

    Water spray bottle: $2

    Thermometer and hydrometer combo: $8

    Enough spores for 6 jars of in ovulation: $12-15 and will be shipped to your door

    Hardest part is innoculation without cross contamination, if you get that far and remember to spray 3x a day you’re basically guaranteed 2-3 fruiting cycles with a good 1/8 to 1/4 per cycle per jar, ime
