I watch some trash reality TV and always find it kind of funny how contestants spend a long amount of time internalizing the stress of the situation the show they agreed to be on is putting on them.

Half of Love Island is “Why did you kiss them?” “Why did you go on a date with that person?” “Why did you break up with me?” Guys it’s a SHOW. The SHOW is making you go through these completely unnatural circumstances!

And then I think about real life and it’s like “why don’t I have energy? why am I so depressed? why can’t I be more productive?” …guys it’s CAPITALISM/SOCIETY. SOCIETY is making you go through these completely unnatural circumstances!

…except of course I didn’t agree to be on this show.

Well, better to be recalled instead of buying something off brand and replacing it every three months like I did with other batteries and cords before I caught on to those shifty Amazon scammy retailers.

…I mean yes it’d be great if nothing was recalled at all, but uhhhh, I ain’t gonna hold this one against them.

That’s the one.

Aside from that I sort by release date and check back every now and then.

I just now noticed they had a toggle for ‘Released,’ so I don’t have to see a bunch of TBD games. I’m just gonna start doing what you’re doing and keep an eye on the list once in a while. Thank you for the tip!

I wish they’d expand on it and have a filter for player count in co-op. I have a game group of five and finding co-op, 5 player games is hard/most of them cap at 4.

The ones that don’t cap at 4 and aren’t requiring high dexterity (i.e. fps) are base building survival games all the way down— which are fine for the most part, don’t get me wrong, I just wish we could find something with the production quality and premise of Outlast Trials.

So far we’ve done: Conan Exiles, The Forest (1 & 2), Astroneer, Core Keeper, Return to Moria, Green Hell (may have been before we were at 4), Demonic, Deep Rock (with a 5 player mod), and a little REPO (which was good, but no progression system yet). I wanted to try Barotrauma but the puppet movement’s a bit janky for me.

I know there’s a third party search engine I can use, but it’s sooo full of junk it’s hard to find anything worthwhile.

Looking forward to The Big Walk, and am keeping an eye on Dune when it comes to consoles.

What’s everyone’s favorite F13 movie?

I think the first one is kinda boring and more of a vibes movie; good background noise, but not worth your full attention.

My fave is part 6 when it really leaned into the silliness and fun of itself (and it inspired Scream).

I’ll always have a soft spot for part 3’s music tho.

Someone ddos or hack this fucking thing asap, please. Is his password still maga2024?

I know it’s been four days, but I just wanted to circle back to this and say this is great/I still’ve been thinking about it.

I just like how it brackets everything I said into two sentences. Love it.

EAT THE RICH flavored foods.

Once they’ve deemed there’s enough professional journalists disbanded to start getting dirty.

I’m gonna be honest with ya; housing prices have gotten completely incompatible with my gambling addiction, pair that with streaming services having no interest in my pitch to have pre-recorded clown interludes between cartoon episodes, and you’ve got this: the only affordable place someone like me can live, the sewers.

It ain’t so bad. Years of wearing a rubber nose has sealed my nostrils shut, so I don’t mind the smell.

The roommates situation on the other hand?…

Geraldo Riviera eats a rat from the fridge

Hey! Hands off my lunch! Geraldo? Shouldn’t you be on Fox?

Geraldo: yes, but their craft services just doesn’t compare to the real thing.

I don’t do balloons anymore, kid. Penny’s got a new latex allergy he doesn’t want to make worse than it already is. scratch scratch

We all uh…somethin’… down here, look, kid, just let me bite your arm off, OK?

I’ve never considered it a paradox, more of an irony.

…but yes I was oversimplifying for funsies. “Bash the fash” as they say.

The only thing tolerance cannot tolerate is intolerance…

…I think it is morally sound to remove someone from society if that someone is an intolerant, fascist, greedy bigot. What constitutes as “remove” is contingent on how intolerant, fascist, and greedy the subject has exhibited themselves to be.

…murder is OK, in some scenarios.

Grim Fandango is probably going to be the most accurate depiction of the afterlife if ever there was one.

“I don’t mean to victim blame, but I try not to look like I’m worth mugging.”

“I’m sorry!! I don’t know how this happened! Well, um, now that you’re here… wanna watch The Last Unicorn? I won’t sap this time!”

hey now, at least we dehumanize and tuck our embarrassing drug addicts into the lower class neighborhoods and under bridges were they belong so we can ignore them easier! /s

I do think it’s ironic that a chunk of the places that have universal healthcare still have a massive smoking problem.

I can’t help but wonder in a silver-linings-to-shit-stains kind of way if part of the reason smoking was curbed as much as it was in the states (aside from successful votes/lobbying) is because it’s too expensive to die from.

my spouse uses it on me whenever they want something ‘cause I’m a people-pleaser and that voice melts my heart into doing whatever favor they’re asking.
