In psychological terms we call that tangentiality or a tangential affect. Where the subject starts on one topic, and then continually digresses to other loosely or unrelated topics. It’s a marker for mental illness.

Or we could just call it what it is, pulling it out of your ass.

I strongly disagree. I’ve had immense fun in every Bethesda game, including Starfield and 76. I’ve put hundreds of hours into all of their games, possibly over a thousand for games like FO3 and Oblivion. The only one that truly failed to grasp my attention was ESO. My only real complaint about Starfield was NG+. Losing over a hundred hours of collecting and ship/settlement building isn’t new game plus. It’s a prestige system, and although it makes sense given the ending, it’s a shitty way to restart an RPG. Nonetheless, I’ve still gotten 180 hours out of it. Hell, I just started a fresh game last week and started modding the hell out of it.

With Bethesda, their games are about the fun you make. Sorry if you didn’t enjoy the experiences, but maybe some of them just weren’t meant for you. Personally, I’m looking forward to ES6 and sinking a few hundred hours into it. If it’s a bad game, so be it, but I honestly can’t wait to see what they do!

So he’s just blatantly admitting it now, huh?

As much as either party has expressed the desire to keep mics on, and as much as I would love to see Harris also tell Trump to shut up or scold him with “I’m speaking,” I think it’s essential. It’s true that Trump doesn’t know when to shut up, and that would likely work against him. However, he also knows damn well that his people would see him talking over Harris as putting her in her place. Any opportunity to make her looks weak, he’s gonna take… Muting mics is the best way to keep his ass in check.

My bad, I was under the impression that you had gotten a slicer and were sous videing and slicing the meat with a deli slicer! I thought you meant the slicer was $80.

God I wish I had the kitchen space for one! Been begging the wife to let me get a smoker. Being able to smoke a ham or turkey breast and then turn it into cold cuts would be awesome.

This just in, shocking news folks, piece of shit Pharma bro is still a piece of shit…

Super fun games to randomize, by the way. Generates whole new maps, item uses, weapons, souls, and enemy stats. I particularly love that it randomizes the dialogue as well.

So I bought one of Spotify’s Car Things when they were flushing them after realizing nobody knew fuck all about them.

The device itself works alright for it’s purpose, but is basically just a fancy way to change tracks or answer your phone. There’s no GPS or messaging integration that you’d get with CarPlay. It doesn’t even tell the time. Still, it works and is useful.

A few months ago, Spotify sent out emails that, as of December, they will be bricking all of them and to dispose of them via whatever recycling service you have.

Pretty shitty that we’ve entered an era where companies can just destroy something you paid for because they want to… There need to be laws against this.

They just put another one out last week.

The fact that they’re still apologizing for not listening to the player base and then going ahead and just not listening to the player base really doesn’t fill me with confidence.

Abiotic Factor has been really fun for my buddy and me. Especially with the new update that came out last week. It’s a Half Life themed survival game.

Others that get my vote:

Valheim - Norse mythology themed survival game with Playstationesque graphics

Phasmophobia - THE ghost hunting game(see also Ghost Exile, Ghost Exorcism Inc., Forewarned)

Left 4 Dead - the original Zombie FPS series (see also Back 4 Blood, it’s kinda alright) PILLS HERE!

Risk of Rain - Pretty tough shooter series

Stardew Valley - A modern Harvest Moon, farming/life sim

Don’t Starve Together - If you played Stardew valley in hell, but everyone’s name started with a W

Factorio/Satisfactory - Resource harvesting and logistics sims. One’s isometric, ones first person, one has zerg rushes

Grounded - Honey I Shrunk The Kids: the survival game

Deep Rock Galactic - Left 4 Dead for Dwarves. ROCK AND STONE!!!

Overcooked - cooking and serving game, lots of communication required

Portal 2 - First person puzzle game, also lots of communication required

Barotrauma - Submarine sim on Europa, requires marriage levels of communication

Binding of Isaac - Roguelike shooter that’s sort of Zelda inspired, multiplayer was a little janky last time I tried it, but that was a while ago

The Forest - Excellent horror survival series

Starbound - Terraria in space

Trine series - A modern Lost Vikings, side scrolling puzzles and platforming

Subnautica 2 - A beautiful and terrifying diving/exploration game, original game has a coop mod 8 years in development, but it’s been very buggy

Diablo - First and second games are still very solid experiences and there are some excellent mods out for both

Escape Simulator - Literally an escape room simulator. Has workshop support on steam for even more puzzles.

Green Hell - The Forest, but in the jungle, much more focus on the reality of being stranded in a place where just about everything is likely to kill you.

No Man’s Sky - Space/planetary exploration sim

Dead Island - another zombie FPS

Dying Light - a zombie game with parkour

20XX/30XX - Megaman X styled platformers with roguelite elements

GTFO - Extremely hard, stealth based, alien FPS

Most “Souls” games - Very fun coop summoning, if you don’t mind the sometimes extreme difficulty

Goat Simulator series - Goofy exploration games

Magicka series - Isometric action adventure games where you combine different elements to cast spells

Barony - a true roguelike FPS RPG, voxel based, very hard

Void Crew - Space sim, mission based, sort of Egyptian mythos themed, meant for up to 4 players but definitely possible with just 2

Human Fall Flat - Puzzle/exploration game

Half Dead series - Cube: the game

Orcs Must Die series - Tower defense

Dungeon Defenders series - also tower defense, but with class based

Secret of Mana - One of the first action JRPGS, the remake has drop in coop just like the original, but I believe it’s couch coop, so if you’re not right next to each other, you’ll need something like Parsec to play it

Have a ton more, but those are the ones I can recall having the most fun. Others have probably listed a bunch of them and I probably missed a few good ones, but hopefully a few of them are new.

You could always tinker with some emulators for some retro coop games!

Oh cool, more corporate waste…

George Helmy will be replacing him.

I legitimately would love to hear the planning process for their whole AI idea. It’s absolutely astounding. Like he’s just giving up and now going for “most sued ex-president of all time” to add to his other list of shitty firsts.

In my experience, anyone I’ve ever known who is earnestly writing a book or a screenplay doesn’t shut up about it, regardless of whether they go to Starbucks or not.

Starbucks is sugary, trash water. Brew your own coffee at home. Costs way less, tastes much better, and it’s significantly healthier compared to the flavored milk they sell.

Only $14 on Fanatical right now too. Totally worth it

I literally don’t see the difference. My card gets checked by a person up front anyway. Who cares if it’s now digitally scanned?

Now give me the option to skip the line by scanning and paying for my stuff via phone and the only person I absolutely have to interact with is the one who checks my cart as I’m leaving.

They should definitely debate…
