- Comment on Doom: The Dark Ages Dropped Multiplayer In Favor Of Doomslayer's Cyber Dragon And Giant Mecha 5 days ago:
Good on them. Not that the last two DOOM titles have been short of excellent, in my opinion, but I’d rather lose the multiplayer if it means I get more of what makes DOOM, DOOM, an army of demons to slay and all the pretty toys to do it with.

You awkwardly wrap your entire mouth around the rim, then pull your head back.
Remember to relax your throat. It’s gonna come quick.
- Comment on Just discovered Mini Metro, a puzzle game where you have to create metro lines. Very addictive, but also chill, and currently 50% off on Steam 4 weeks ago:
There’s also Mini Motorways. Same concept, different pieces. Heavily recommend both, both can scratch that “I just want to have a chill time” and “I wanna optimize and challenge myself” itches.
Super easy to pick up, spend your lunch break placing lines, and go back to whatever you were doing.
- Comment on Starlink broadband attracting residents to remote West Virginia - West Virginia Explorer 4 weeks ago:
I’ve gotten to see it happen first hand. As of 2008, the last mines in operation in a certain part of Virginia closed up shop. It was the towns lifeblood, and the place was already on the poor side.
I saw families who lost their livelihoods. Was almost one of them, lucked out that my dad knew how to do other things. Wasn’t that way for the kids who went to college for electrical engineering, went into the mines, and suddenly had nowhere else.
In the middle of Bumfuck, Nowhere, lived some of the most ass backwards but intelligent people I’ve ever met. I can point out the graves of the ones who got hit the hardest, and decided there wasn’t an up. I can remember exactly how old they were. We went to school together.
I don’t agree with mining, it’s destructive, the effects of mining and burning coal are terrible, but it kills me to remember how it all went down. We did the right thing, but in the worst way possible.
- Comment on Starlink broadband attracting residents to remote West Virginia - West Virginia Explorer 4 weeks ago:
You can find a heartbreaking amount of stories just like that across that entire stretch of the country. Towns that thrived off coal, but have since all but collapsed into poverty. People who struggle to find new lines of work, because they never knew anything different. People quietly dying, fighting to get help with the damage done to their lungs.

I can’t believe I forgot the Thief games! Absolute classics. I need to get around to replaying them sometime soon.
- Comment on What's next after Half-Life? 1 month ago:
Deus Ex and System Shock should definitely be on your list, just skip Deus Ex: Invisible War.
Also, as I don’t see them listed, did you check out Blue Shift and Opposing Forces? They’re 2 Half-Life expansions made by Gearbox, back in the day, that show the events of HL1 from different points of view.

Normally I recommend we start small, just a little fire.
Fuck it in this case. Exterminatus.
- Comment on Don't tell her about Alarm that wakes you up every morning 2 months ago:
You’re just focusing on maximum efficiency.
Wash it all at once, no need to run the washing machine, and when you’re done showering, you can just climb into the drier or peg yourself up on the clothesline!

Yeah, what the fuck?
A plain is mostly grasses. Meadows, fields, and battlefields have flowers.
And love can bloom on them.

When you encounter things like this, God has abandoned you.
Fire hasn’t, though. Fire has no fickle loyalties. All can burn.
- Comment on the emperor 2 months ago:
Well, unless he’s insanely strong, he did it with weapons sized for him, or is a master poisoner.
Both are equally impressive achievements for his physical limitations, in that Genghis Khan sorta way.
- Comment on the emperor 2 months ago:
Well, he looks quite pleased about it. Probably takes a lot for a caterpillar to reach the rank of Emperor.
- Comment on nighttime pollinator gang rise up 2 months ago:
They creeped me out as a kid. It didn’t help that I had this concept that they were like “evil” butterflies. Child brain hardcore taking my grandmother’s complaining about moths eating clothes and being a nuisance too far.
Absolutely adore them, now. Go ahead and enjoy some lamp, little friend, you’ve earned it.
- Comment on somebody has to do it! 2 months ago:
I wonder if there’s some kind of near-surface pipes they might hear water running through.
- Comment on Me_irl 2 months ago:
You can just show someone characters that vaguely resemble them, the brain does the rest.
- Comment on Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-reckoning, do you remember the original one? 2 months ago:
It was supposed to be a part of one, until the studio went into bankruptcy and ended up being partially owned by New Jersey.
The story behind KoA is absolutely nuts. They wanted to make an MMO sequel, with R.A Salvatore still on the writing, but due to bloat and mismanagement, ended up massively in debt and plans for a sequel got scrapped.

Any large enough insect is relatively easy to kill, you just need a Buick.
- Comment on Watch. It. 2 months ago:
But there’s so much else on my “to watch” list!
And it’s been, like, 12 hours since my last Wolfs Rain rewatch, so I’m kinda late to that, y’know?

“Your Impostor Syndrome Made Flesh” is for everyone.
Though reactions may vary between mental breakdown and “I’ve wanted to punch my demons since birth”.

Dammit, now I want that and every time a Draugr gets out of a crypt, it plays “FATHER! THE SLEEPER HAS AWOKEN!”

The kraken works in mysterious ways. We must trust in their decisions.
- Comment on Mature Adult 3 months ago:
I’m assuming uncomfortably.
Unless someone was into that.
- Comment on The Elder Gods 3 months ago:
Yes. In fact, I have spent a long portion of my life starting my morning with demands of the release of the kraken.
We’re not learning the lesson fast enough. The kraken will either be another step in our downfall, or we can start feeding people to them until things get better.

“Asbestos was first synthesized by the master magi Mesothelioma. He was looking for a way to slowly poison the local villages without easy detection, and ended up creating one of the most common robe linings found today.
Mesothelioma is remembered long after his passing, though not fondly. If you, or a loved one, has been harmed by the creations of Dark Lord Mesothelioma, Sending us today…”
- Comment on Funky Little Rodents 3 months ago:
This is also a problem rehabbers can face! Some patients just don’t want to go, they had the good life and absolutely refuse to wild back up. This is why minimizing direct handling and human socialization as much as possible is a key step.
It’s easy to see why people can think of wild animals like pets when you see them act like that. We all want the same basic thing, in the end. To be comfortable.
- Comment on Too Much 3 months ago:
Otis Spunkmeyer is the brand. We use the same cookies at my job. The secret is to let them sit for about 20-30 minutes after pulling the dough from the freezer(it’s pre-shaped discs), and only bake them for 10-12 minutes at 350 fahrenheit instead of the recommended 15-16.
