Honestly I’m as agoraphobic as they come so, since I hardly ever leave my residence, I find it quite easy to forget that it’s an election year, aside from many of the news outlets and media posts dictating it. My life outside of the internet has hardly any political interference.

Yes I still vote, but I keep my political beliefs to myself, but As Marcus Aurelius said, “You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can’t control”

I take a lot of solace in that. I know certain things and have certain opinions but I am absolutely not a politician and it’s not something I’ll wreck my soul over. Life is short enough as it is.

Satisfactory grind!

Just unlocked trains and have no idea how the signaling works. It’s a struggle.

I walked the land telling whores and liars of the End to come. There are 9,855 days remaining.

Brushing my teeth.

Recently had a root canal and a massive wakeup call of fragile teeth.

It’s been a hard habit to stick with but the wife keeps me accountable.

Kerbal Space Program 2.

Yeah it’s looking really bleak over there…

Drill dozer is a fun one that i don’t see get a ton of love.

There’s an overarching story iirc but it’s not terribly intense or anything.

If you like adventure, then the oracle zelda games are fun. Definitely pushing that 30 minute boundary on this one, though. There’s also a bit of dialogue between dungeons, but otherwise, Seasons is definitely more wanderable since there’s not as many direct puzzles.

I remember having Joust on the Gameboy color or advance when I was younger. Always good fun to ride some birds into battle.

Foxhole. War 115.

Just wish I had a good team to play with.

Ugh. I fly home in a week. Hope it’s not horrible by then.

More like, politically speaking, the bottle has been shaken. Others are far more likely to take action now.

Do you mean like an eye tracking system for headsets in wt? I’ve always just used vr if I wanted that capability.

Noita is a fantastic game.

The magic is that you have two major components. Wands and spells. After every level, you get an opportunity to tinker with the wands you’ve found by replacing spells you have on them with other wands to make something better.

It’s a roguelike, and has no real tutorial, but it’s definitely one of those niche games I’ve put serious time into.

I’m a bit lost. I didn’t justify using racist terms. I’m saying that scammers lack the core traits of humanity, compassion and care in others.

And they don’t deserve anything, let alone feeling comfortable in a conversation, or the air they breathe.

That is regardless of race, sex, gender. If you scam someone else, you don’t deserve life.

While yes it is absolutely racist, scammers are not capable of having an identity associated with someone who is on par with humanity. They’re far below animals.

I prefer the term “demihuman” or any other dehumanizing language so they know who they are.

Minus the human trafficked ones of course. Only the vast majority who do it willingly.

Edit: let me clarify. I did not say using racist terminology is correct nor justified. I’m saying that people who scam others are so far removed from the identity of humanity and compassion that they do not deserve the light of day, much less the air they breathe.

Oh I get it. Standalone, it’s great. It’s just not what I thought it was. I bought it for one reason, was surprised that it wasn’t what I thought I’d be receiving as a consumer, reflecting, I’d definitely say it’s a good game.

Battle passes/ dailies / loot boxes aren’t really my thing either. I do love roguelikes and the idea of “runs” and it being a sandbox to play in to experiment with builds.

Noita, for example, is probably one of my favorite games of all time. (Also a game I recommend everyone to play and give a good college try.)

Hot take for me: I thought going into Inscryption was going to be a pure deck builder game with a goal of beating the first guy. Then I really enjoyed the deck building in the 2d zone, and wanted so much more of that, but after beating the game, it has next to no replay ability. It turns very ARG centric and to get the whole story required going outside of the game into the “real world” (internet) to learn the rest of the story. It never stuck with me, or striked me right. It felt like I was being led on and thrown into something I didn’t really care about.

I know that they added an infinite mode, but I think that’s just in the first zone, not all of them. .

In any case, the game was just ok, since it’s not the Slay the Spire esque card builder I thought it’d be.

I try, but of course life finds a way to rip whatever savings I’ve got slowly but surely.

Right??

Early Gen Z / very tail end of millennial here.

Got a job that pays ~80k (with promotion potential to 100k in a year) and I’m just… dumbfounded at how yall are making it. I didn’t grow up wealthy at all, and struggled with homelessness for a time, so I’m not new to the frugal game, but being able to put away only a hundred or two bucks a month after taxes is crazy with the hours and time I put into existing. I’d rather just not work at all if the end result is the same.

Doordash is a crux in my life and something I’ve definitely splurged on in the past, but groceries are just as expensive outside of rice beans and chicken. Baffling. :(

I wonder. If it’s anything like the custom options for “home games” in dos2, it might not be super great, but they’ve learned an extraordinary amount since then, so maybe? Hard to tell at this stage.

The game is without a doubt a classic game that will be played by generations to come.

Right?

Bethesda just released an expansion for fallout 76. It’s a game that I’m fairly fond of, considering the amount of dislike I have for fallout 4, it improved on it in every way from the worldbuilding to building to the story, I could go on, point is, I like it.

The new expansion, the first map expansion and like 20 major updates in.

The new map is quite a large region. You’d expect a few side quests to unlock these other locations. Maybe some hidden gems. Maybe some cool NPCs outside of the main “expansion” right?

Its literally: A main quest that’s short (beat it in like 3 hours on the first day it dropped)

A single side quest that’s more of an optional objective on the main quest

A single new event

A single new boss.

Four things they added. Two of which can only be done once (bad formula for a game designed around repeating similar tasks)

They’ve just straight up gotten bad. There’s no love in their products anymore. It’s all taking the easiest way out, lacking any amount of real creativity.

I just want them to migrate from their shitty proprietary engine, buckle down on a good story and prioritizing fun.
