Man I wish I could like Isaac like that. I’m not good at it at all. Every time I try to play the game it turns into an angry sweat fest as I take tons of stupid avoidable damage and don’t find any fucking keys for the third floor in a row

I’ve watched a thousand hours of Northernlion and I could probably tell you every item in the game on sight but my sticky notes look like sad trash.

Don’t even get me started on the challenges, I fear that list, but I want half those unlocks to get all my other unlocks.

Valve recently released the source code so that’s probably really easy to do now

I really don’t mean this as a dunk on Rimworld, but as is tradition with most things in Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress did it first. “FPS Death” was a common end condition for resilient forts. If natural dangers or greed didn’t kill you first, boredom would as your FPS crawled down into the single digits or, if you were really dedicated, this could become seconds per frame.

Rimworld has kind of done it’s own thing now with the third or fourth DLC expansion but for a majority of its lifespan so far it could charitably be called a DF clone with a readable UI. Now DF has its own readable UI and Rimworld has cybernetics and psychic magic so they’ve sort of both become individual titans of their own genre.

Anybody who doesn’t let you bring the car to a mechanic for a pre purchase inspection is someone you don’t want to be buying a car from. Most car repair places will do one for you.

Well, I bought it. I had the day off work and just recently refunded the new Doom because it won’t even let me launch it without RTX support, so I figured I’d give CO a go. It’s now six and a half hours later and I’m thoroughly hooked. This might be one of the best RPGs I’ve ever played. The characters are quite good and I’m a big fan of the AP system meaning that running out of MP on your wizard isn’t really a problem you deal with like in other JRPGs (looking at you Final Fantasy - elixirs are not a suitable bandaid for a bad MP economy).

I am finding the timing for parries to be a little bit bullshit but dodges are forgiving enough that I’ve been getting by.

I just picked up the third party member and exited her area back to the world map if that gives you a good idea where I’m at without being spoilery. Thanks for the recommendation!

Gwyndolin in Dark Souls 1 is a semi major lore character and is trans(?)

Is it that good? I threw it on my wishlist but haven’t come back around to it.

The last really excellent RPG I played was Metaphor: ReFantazio, any opinions on how it stacks up against that? Because M:RF is legitimately excellent and I still need to go finish that. But Clair Obscura has been grabbing my attention recently…

Today I learned this was made by the actual creator of Hellsing

Born to Twerk / World Is A Fuck / Slay em all 2025 / I Am Ass Man / 410,757,864,530 Mogged Zoomers

They haven’t seemed overly concerned with the security of checks notes the Trump hotels they’ve been made to not only stay in but pay for using taxpayer money.

Hackintoshes have been around since the 80s and this has never happened.

In 2009-2012 Apple did levy a successful lawsuit against Psystar for doing this in a business environment. But they’ve never enforced bricking a consumer Hackintosh and I expect they never will.

Well, since we’re on the topic and all…

Y2K wasn’t that bad because a billion engineers saw it coming and prepared accordingly. If everyone hadn’t been freaking out about it for years beforehand things could have gone very differently.

Well it sure as hell didn’t work on my Tarnished in Elden Ring proper

🤷 More for the rest of us

In practice this just means that your documented cause will be fabricated.

Right, but there are also plenty of people who just ride a bike and get by just fine. Four wheels may be typical, but a vehicle is not defined by having four wheels. And having four wheels doesn’t do you a ton of good when they’re all flat and misaligned.

I don’t think you should have to balance a car on two wheels, and I’m sad that you do need to. But having “a car” in this analogy isn’t something that should be baseline necessary to be considered a human being.
