Super interesting review! I love reading about people’s favorite games they have played for decades, especially when they’re niche :)

Me and you just think alike lol this post awakened the same sleeper memory in both of us :P

Also I think mine was technically after yours, there were no posts when I went to type my comment and yours popped up after I hit post lol

Naw, we posted at the same time. When I typed my comment (the one i assume you’re refering to) there were no comments. Once I hit post this one was already here.

Great minds think alike or something like that lol

Super fair point, I’m projecting human emotions onto the beavers & don’t actually know how they feel about the sound of running water lol

From what i remember, it has to do with the noise of flowing water. Bevers find the sound annoying and will cover it until it stops.

I remember a study where they played river noises from a speaker and the bevers covered the speakers with sticks – even in the absence of any water.

Yeah the whole process of trying to deal with facebooks customer service has been annoying to say the least lol.

Glad other people also seem to think having it locked is a good enough solution

Lol probably more effort and money than the zero amount I’m looking to put into it

It’s locked so I would have to verify it in order to do any kind of resetting passwords and stuff. Which requires uploading photo id and a video of my face. I don’t really want to do all that, so I’m hoping that it being locked is enough to keep it from being used by hackers.

I honestly just stopped using it so long ago & hadn’t even thought about the account until my sister told me it got hacked. I don’t care about having access to it, I just want it to be effectively useless lol

I tried but they would want me to verify it first & thats a whole process that requires sending them a photo of my lisence and a video of me. I don’t really want to do all that lol

Thus me hoping that it being locked is good enough

Super cool, the drip effect is awesome and really adds to the peice. A happy accident for sure :)

I thought this was a quilt made of really cool fabrics when I first saw it lol

Pcsx2 – it works pretty well, the only game I’ve had trouble running was monster rancher 2

Definetly! I’m always happy to over share about one of my niche special interests lol

Makes sense. Thanks for the additional info!

I do love games that are essentially just building simulators. For example, I love playing sims 4 exclusively to build and decorate. I mostly found tiny glade lacking in options and customization. Maybe they’ll expand and refine it though & in a few years I can try the game out again :)

Tiny glade was interesting. I only played the demo, & it was enjoyable for a half hour or so, but I kind of ran through everything & it didn’t seem like there was enough content to justify buying the full game or playing more.

I also felt like there wasn’t enough ability to customize different aspects, like I could place flowers but couldn’t choose how they’re arranged within that space.

Did you play the full release or just the demo?

I’ve been playing a bunch of SSX tricky. It’s super old, but I absolutly love it even 20 years later. I’ve been playing on the PC using a ps2 emulator.

I’ve also been playing simpsons hit and run which really holds up. It’s a simpsons version of grand theft auto & it’s just fun. It’s another emulated ps2 game.

Lastly I’ve been playing survival fountain of youth. It’s a fairly recent release. You play as a shipwrecked Spaniard looking for the fountain of youth. I enjoy the base building & exploration – the story line is fiiine but nothing special.

Whoa, I had no clue about Dali!

I read this article for anyone else who is curious about the situation.

Yeah the professional is a straight up endorsement of pedophilia 🤢 luckly i never liked that one to begin with, so it wasn’t much of a loss to avoid it lol

Its maiwenn that I was refering to. They met when she was 12 and formed a relationship & maiwenn openly talks about how their relationship was part of the inspiration for the movie “the professional” – which is a movie that celebrates the sexualization of the child lead & characterizes the child as the instigator of the romantic relationship. The original script was apperently even more transparent about it’s endorsement of pedophilia and had to be reigned in during production.

Meiwenn has very openly talked about their relationship in interviews & many of the films she has directed incorporate autobiographical aspects. She does not see any problem with her marriage to luc besson and thus freely admits to things. I’m remembering reading an interview where she talked about how they knew eachother for about a year before she really fell in love with him and they began dating, which puts her at 13 (12 plus a year of knowing each other). I think it also referenced that they met because he was a friend of her parents, though I’m having a hard time finding that interview right now.

My personal opinion is that they got married after she was already pregnant & had likely been intimate for years prior to the marriage at 16. I think the story that he waited until she was 15 comes from the international push back they received after luc became famous and people found out about the relationship.

I did a deep dive on this when I was in the hospital last year & happened to watch the fifth element lol. I noticed on the wiki that he was married at different times to two of the stars & then spent like 3 days reading everything i could find on him and his overly young exs.

I has this happen with the fifth element. I found out Luc Besson is a pedophile who has gotten multiple young girls pregnant. Including a 15 year old he started seeing when she was 13, who he left when she turned 21. The movie is so different knowing about him and his views & it really changes how i watch the movie. Its no longer a fun feel good movie for me. Especially because two of his young wives star in the film.
