I happen to be a penis owner.
So what would happen if I were to install and use such a monthly tracker app and pretend I’ve been having regular monthlies for a while, then suddenly I miss a couple periods, then suddenly start having periods again?
Would the cops come beating my door down claiming I had an abortion? 🤔
Fuck this dystopian mass surveillance shit!

WTF? I just played that just long enough for my queen to take over their queen, and it turned my queen into a rook?
Is that even a legit rule in any variation of chess rules?

I’ve been known to put garlic salt in a bowl of Cheerios before, so I guess I’d try it at least once, if it was a real thing of course… 🤷♂️
Disclaimer: Back when I’d put garlic salt in Cheerios, the reason was I had a dental cavity and sugar was hurting my teeth, but I also didn’t want my cereal tasting like cardboard.

- Comment on Why do low framerates *feel* so much worse on modern video games? 1 week ago:
Vertigo was actually an expansion on Descent 2, I made the NoCD patch for it via a carefully hex edited mod based on another NoCD patch for the original Descent 2.
Any which way, yeah, anyone with vertigo wouldn’t be comfortable or oriented in any way if they’re watching or playing the game.

Indeed, it’s not quite a game for everyone, especially if you’re prone to motion sickness. Initially it only took me about a half hour to get a feel for the game, but configuring the controls can still be a headache.
Every time I set the game up on a new or different system, I tend to usually go for loosely the same sort of controls, but each new setup I might change up the controls a bit, like an endless guessing and testing game to see what controls might be ideal, at least for me.
By the way, Descent is considered a 6 Degrees Of Freedom game, not 4. But hey, at least they have a map feature, I’d go insane without the map sometimes…

I haven’t actually played Free Space before, but I did manage to get a copy and archive it a few years ago.
I also got a copy of Overload and briefly tried that, but on my current hardware it only runs at about 3 frames per second…
The Descent developers were really ahead of their time and pushing gaming to the extreme!

My favorite game of all time is Descent, PC version to be specific, I didn’t have a PlayStation when I first played it.
The first time I tried it, I had a 386sx 20MHz, and Descent, with the graphics configured at absolute lowest size and quality, would run at a whopping 3 frames per second!
I knew it was basically unplayable on my home PC, but did that stop me? Fuck no, I took the 3 floppy disks installer to school and installed it on their 486dx 66MHz computers!
I knew it would just be a matter of time before I got a chance to upgrade my own computer at home.
I still enjoy playing the game even to this day, and have even successfully cross compiled the source code to run natively on Linux.
But yeah I feel you on a variety of levels regarding the framerate thing. Descent at 3 frames per second is absolutely unplayable, but 20 frames per second is acceptable. But in the world of Descent, especially with modern upgraded ports, the more frames the better 👍

I’m not familiar either, but if your mom is regularly also going through lighters and somehow going through too many glass light bulbs or aluminum foil for any sane person, well it’s probably a good idea to not get supplies for your mom…

I don’t need to look at the articles, I literally grew up on a horse/donkey/goat ranch. Besides, why would I look into articles suggesting to abuse the farm animals?
I bet most everyone, including the Wikipedia article writers, and even the references they mention, most of them have probably never even rode a horse or donkey before. I have though.
There are proper ways of training large farm animals, and beating them with a stick isn’t one. That’s straight up animal abuse. And such large animals will quickly remind you who is in charge by stomping your skull in.
I learned how to peacefully and safely train animals. Dangle a carrot in front of a donkey, you can guide it around all day, until the work shift is over and you guide it to the food trough.
Why is everyone sharing links on how to beat animals with sticks, when I’m literally explaining from experience that there are much better ways to train farm animals?

Go ahead, go tame a donkey by hitting it with a stick, see how far that gets you…
IDGAF if you newer people that have never handled such animals have turned it into an ignorant meme, it’s a matter of life or death.
You simply do not hit such large animals with a stick. They will kill you.
Go visit a training farm.
