You don’t even need to write a trans character. Starfield merely gives you the option to change your pronouns and the anti-woke dickheads lost their minds.

I was infinity% sure this was a joke, and then I went to the discussion forum on a game and… it’s not. I’m done for the day I think.

I’ve recently started watching a let’s play of Elden Ring from a few years ago by a guy who I watched play the Dark Souls games blind. It’s made me want to jump back in. I’m playing using only fire incantations (and maybe dragon ones too for damage type coverage), the first couple of hours have been pretty fun, but I’ve only done a handful of minor dungeons and stuff, I haven’t even made it to Stormveil yet. No idea how people manage this legit without hacking in infinite FP.

With speeches like that you’d think she’s running for president

That’s Loops iirc

I can see rego plates in the picture, are they not linked to anyone? Ticket the owner, it’s not rocket science.

One way

Same as usual, sleep and then night shift. Work is a lot quieter than normal and pays more, so I’m not complaining (well, except that the supermarket closed at 6 instead of 9 so I didn’t have a chance to pick up something for dinner).

I didn’t know the royal show was on either, I’ve been meaning to go to it at least once in my adult life. I remember as a kid getting dragged around all the boring stuff before finally making it to the rides & showbags, but I think I might be more interested now.

A much less terrifying quest than “Stay in line while I go get some onions.”

My sister managed to get one at the 4th shop she went to, I had no luck. She was told they got 50 cards per shop, happily have out 10 at a time to the first handful of people, and weren’t sure if they’re getting more (so, what, I have to call every day and check?). Congratulations to the scalpers, I guess.

This has been a shit idea since generation 1, and they already fixed it! Why are we going back to visiting shops we haven’t set foot in in a decade?

Well, no he didn’t. Not really. I haven’t heard it (and don’t intend to) but according to the quotes in this article he didn’t do that at all.

“The problem is the companies, if they are being pressured by the government – so if that’s real – and if people on the right are like ‘yeah, go get ’em,’ oh my God, you’re crazy. You’re crazy for supporting this because this will be used on you,” he said.

If, if, if. Wouldn’t want to risk upsetting anyone would you?

Unfortunate shadows on Bret’s pants there

Out of curiosity, which idlers have you played and enjoyed? I play a lot of them (hell, I have a re-play of Progress Knight Quest running in another tab right now if that tells you what kind of person I am) and I have to say your gameplay criticisms sound pretty on-track for the genre. Hanging around long enough for numbers to go up then prestiging when you hit a wall where things become impossible to progress, and persistence disguised as design in place of skill all sounds about right. This one sounds pretty standard just with a more dynamic presentation.

I’m not saying you’re wrong or anything, sometimes things just don’t land for someone and that’s cool, there are a bunch of super popular idle/incremental games that I absolutely can’t stand. Thanks for the post, I hadn’t heard of this one before.

Sorry, you’ve misunderstood, I don’t disagree about any of that. I was talking about your use of car ownership as a comparison to gun ownership. It’s something I see come up a lot in gun rights arguments and it’s always seemed so unreasonable to me because of the difference I mentioned being so vital (perhaps because I live in a country much less… enthusiastic about guns). There’s no reason for us to have that particular discussion and I have zero interest in doing so, I just took issue with your comparison, that’s all.

I see your point about the LAMF thing, but that’s such a dishonest comparison. Your post history seems reasonable enough so I’m hoping you won’t just be a dick about this. The difference is cars aren’t a tool specifically for killing people. You’re even changing the context in your comparison, this isn’t a drunk driver killing a dude, it’s someone intentionally hitting a man with their car. When the US gets a global reputation for being the place kids constantly take their parents’ cars to school to kill other kids it’ll be a fine point, until then it’s hurting your case.

For the record, I’m not condoning or celebrating this either. I’m not going to mourn the prick, but I don’t support openly murdering people and see no appeal in laughing or joking about it.

We knew the content of the letter in July, but didn’t have the actual picture. The one you’re probably remembering which looked significantly less shitty was just someone’s interpretation of its description.

According to the final results screen it took 22.5 hours to complete the 4 main maps 100% and then do what’s presented as the final challenge to hit the credits, but I definitely took my time. Not sure how much postgame content there is. If I end up restarting (I haven’t had a day off since then to get into anything) I should be able to do things a lot quicker. A pretty major theme of the game is the pursuit of efficiency.

A lot of my stress lately has been work-related, and let’s just say I might have a lot of free time coming up to play Pokémon, I should know next week :/

I don’t know much about it because I try to avoid seeing anything and go into games blind, but the Internet has an infuriating need to know everything about upcoming games which makes that very difficult. I am looking forward to Z-A though, it should be fun.

I’ve just been playing Pokémon and Pikmin 4 for the last month or so because I’ve been so stressed that I can’t handle anything more intellectually demanding.

I beat the main story of Pikmin 4 yesterday with no deaths, I’d reload every time anyone died. The final status screen listed 2 deaths, which I’m 100% certain didn’t happen. I guess they must have been from when I played the demo back in June. Now I need to get jnto postgame stuff, but it’s kind of ruined for me. I’ll probably start over instead :( I know it doesn’t make a difference, but still.

Pokémon is just shiny hunting in outbreaks because it’s easy and mindless. I have a good 40-50 mons trained for raids and 90+ combat-ready, but standing in the field and pressing the auto-battle button is about as much ss I’m up for these days. At last count I had around 340 or so shinies, so the living dex is coming along.

Interesting colour scheme, I wonder how they came up with it

Wow what a surprise. “I know we said we’d do it but at the time 2025 seemed so far away! Anyway we’ll do it in 2030.”

What’s the bet 2036 rolls around and all of the caged egg people throw a tantrum because they didn’t do anything with the two decade warning just like the sheep export people.
