Thankfully all those hours I put into Anomalous Coffee Machine will probably confuse people since the title doesn’t really give away what it is.

It’s porn in case that wasn’t obvious.

100% This.

So steam has the little update ribbon for games in your library, and recently one popped up for The Outer Worlds in my feed. I thought it was odd since it’s not a new game anymore so I checked it out and it was for some reason just the announcement for Outer Worlds 2. Thought that was odd too since that also happened awhile ago so I went to the discussion thread to see if there was an update to the announcement or something and I got to reading the comments. It was just the most toxic and vile cesspool of comments. Literal mud brained comments like “no woke game, no DEI this time, this game bad because I can’t fuck the asexual brown girl and she should be white anyway because that doesn’t make sense in outer space” and other vile bigoted shit. Like seriously guys? You hated the game so much that you have to spew your ignorant garbage brained thoughts on an announcement thread for the sequel? Fuck me these people are just the absolute sludge at the bottom of the barrel.

I’m all for protesting a game because the company is evil (you know which ones are) but holy hell people, the vast majority of the comments were not that at all. Just fucking go play something else. There are a hundred thousand other choices for any respective genre of game. Please just all of you fuck off.

Basically used windows for some multiplayer game sessions with friends and that’s about it. Steam Deck for everything else.

He’s worse than you think. Way worse.

Well yeah, when they’re just cranking the hog and eating food for the first time, what did they expect?

Hey man don’t help the cops with more coverage of this guy’s face

(It’s a joke I know it’s already absolutely everywhere)

Thanks for this. I needed a good laugh today.

Frozen veggies work great for low effort soup. Use the ones you have as I’ve found most veggies work with most other veggies flavor-wise, especially in soup. If you want more bite, add beans and/or mushrooms. And root veggies/potatoes add more substance, texture, and starch for natural thickening if you want something that’s not just broth and bits. You know what flavors you like so just go from there. Consider adding soy sauce or liquid aminos if you’re looking for more umami and salt.

A quick and easy one I do all the time for lazy days is: boxed broth, frozen carrots and peas. Celery (easy to chop even when sick), chop an onion into quarters (they soften and break apart, no need to slice and dice) some kind of root veg like turnip (quarter it, or if you get baby turnip just throw in whole) and mushrooms (get them pre sliced for minimum work) then a couple of tablespoons of Italian dry spice blend, salt, pepper.

And yeah as I mentioned, if you can get someone to shop you baby versions of the veg you gotta chop, you can skip that and just throw them in whole~

And for those of you that eat meat, just add chicken to that above recipe instead of mushrooms (or both!) and boom, chicken soup .

Edit: one thing is don’t use frozen soft veg like a Brussels sprouts, they get gross and mushy very fast. Stick to harder veg like carrot, potato, etc. Leafy greens (except Kale because it’s leathery when raw) almost always turn to mush when cooked in liquid.

Oo mox

Oh dear, I think I have a problem. I wonder if that counts keys bought for games from other sites like humble bundle redemptions? Even if it does, I guess I should focus on my backlog.

They absolutely took the console business model on the Steam Deck. Just like the other big guys Sony, Nin, Micro. Sell the hardware at a loss with the promise that the customer will buy the associated products, in this case, the games from the steam store. The bigger and better difference of course being that you can do whatever with the steam Deck. But Valve knows that the majority will still get their games from Steam because it’s just easier that way.

It’s the old razor blade model. Sell the handle cheap because you know people will buy the razors for it, and they most likely buy your brand of razors since you bought their brand of handle.

Printer companies (at least home consumer ones) do it too but are slimy about it. Get a printer for $50 then buy ink for it that often costs twice as much.

Brave browser has a filter to bypass paywalls. Works on desktop and mobile versions. Definitely works on NYT as I just read something there today. And of course has built in adblock. You can also add additional filters and adblock lists.

Bonus: print to PDF in Brave to share an article with someone else. It retains all the graphics relevant to the article and cuts all the junk and ads out too.

Came to say this. And they make mobile browsers. If I want to share a paywalled article with someone I just load it up in brave and print it to PDF then send them that. Works every time!

Don’t worry, rule34 has covered that very thoroughly. Both of your questions actually.

Hell yeah. Another vote for Seal!
