    Not only that, but to reach this point in the post, you would’ve read the meme that heavily implies something bad happens. If that didn’t deter you from continuing, you read the above comment that was asking for someone to further explain the meme.

    If you still needed a spoiler tag after all that then what are we doing here people



  • My wife works for the NPS.

    A rough summary of the situation right now is that no one really knows what’s happening right now. Everyone feels like they’re going to lose their jobs any day now.

    The people who should be off their probationary period are still on it and won’t be receiving proper status.

    A lot of experienced Rangers took the drop, which has led to not only a loss of knowledge and experience but a lot of parks are running ghost crews. Current rangers should be the ones filling those higher roles, but in doing so, you’re marking yourself as a probationary employee.

    Some open roles are not allowed to be filled at all.

    To keep the public from noticing how mutilated the NPS is, they’re hiring a ton of seasonal employees. Seasonal employees don’t have enough time to really learn about the sites they’re working at or work on interpretation. Replacing full-time employees with seasonal workers also strips away more middle-class jobs.











  • I’ve played both of those, and I really enjoyed Talos 2 since it mostly just fed you lore while you were trying to do a puzzle, but don’t ask me what the story was because I couldn’t tell ya.

    I didn’t mean I couldn’t connect with the story in just those games, but in games in general. So when I talk about a game, I don’t really put much weight into my thoughts on the story, just the mechanics.






  • Pokemon - having to watch animations and not being able to speed anything up killed my interest

    Skyrim - tried a melee run recently and the combat feels like you’re whacking air

    The legend of Zelda - played Tears and the story and puzzles were a bit too kid friendly

    Doom - I really tried to like it but I felt like I didn’t get anything out of it. It doesn’t scratch that itch I get out of FromSoft’s Souls games where I want to learn a boss’s patterns and die to it a million times.

    In general I don’t think I can do story games anymore


  • Personally, I’m skipping the Switch 2 because I used my Switch 1 like four times since its launch.

    The Switch 2 will likely have games similar to ones that came before it, so if you haven’t been tempted into trying those, you probably won’t be into the new ones.

    Like, I’d want the Switch 2 for Mario Kart World but then realized that I played Kart 8 like twice. Online play didn’t scratch the itch, my wife sucked at it, and it was hard to get a group IRL together to play often.

    Maybe try emulating some of the older versions of games you’re interested in. It’ll at least give you an idea of how much fun you’d have on the newer versions.

    Also ask yourself if you’re a handheld gamer. I don’t think I am which is why I also don’t use my steam deck ever.
