  I’ve always been interested in trying castlevania and this is making me seriously consider it.

  Ultimately though the point of games is fun. Anything less is a failure of the game

  To deny bodily autonomy is to engage in brutality. And I’m sorry UK you have a bad record on this specifically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's a noticable influx of trans kids in my job. Are there any topics I should avoid or considerations I should take into account when training them?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  As a trans woman who routinely has to deal with “shop talk” my advice is that since theyre young explain the way that it works to them and let them know how to speak up when shit gets uncomfortable.

  Cleaning it up and getting professional and polite would theoretically be great, but the fact is that their career will involve this and if everyone has to clean up their language resentment will build and people will just exclude them. Meanwhile everyone should feel comfortable saying “too far” or “hey you’re hitting a sore spot” or even “not cool”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do I stop being a sucker for alcoholic stuff on sale?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It sounds like you definitely have a drinking problem and an unhealthy relationship to alcohol.

  Take a month off. Not as a punishment or anything, just as a “hey beer and I need some time apart.” Maybe get some NA beer if you’re craving the flavor.

  Drinking problems are a warning sign. If you change your behavior and mindset you probably will find yourself with a healthy relationship with alcohol. If you don’t you may find yourself in a place you have to part ways with it for good

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT’S THE FEDS!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Cops get pissed when their hunches are wrong because they still believe the hunch, they just think you got away with it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT’S THE FEDS!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s more basic than that as well. Cops assume that if you arent hiding something then it’s fine. In a very real sense cops are looking for criminals not crimes. If you act like they think criminals do they’re going to be a pain in your ass at best and possibly even pressure you into confessing to crimes because “they know a criminal when they see one”.

  But the inverse is also true. If you break the law while acting like you have every right to do what it is you’re doing, you can often get away with it so long as the cops aren’t tipped off. Someone owns that bike, some people lose the keys to their locks, if someone isn’t hiding that theyre cutting a bike lock most of the time that person owns the bike, and if they confidently say it’s their bike, it’s not like a cop is going to check or even have a way to check unless somethings off (unless they think you look like a criminal). A potted plant in the front yard is the same.

  At no point will it be at the actual best point: straight cut. They’re perfect. They show off ripped leg muscles without ripping or looking painted on.

  Ah yes, the spironolactone problem. Your potassium sparing diuretic has the side effect of reducing your testosterone levels, while my testosterone blocker has the side effect of making me crave salt and have to pee all the time.

  Yeah I’m increasingly unwilling to put up with subscriptions that arent reasonable. If you’re selling a piece of software, I’ll consider paying for it. I love foundry for that, its a vtt that I bought and it just works. They update it, but I don’t expect or demand updates beyond keeping it working. And if they were to offer more features in the future with a new model I’d consider paying for the new model.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former Dragon Age writer says Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Baldur's Gate 3 prove 'what's possible when a game is given time to cook'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, and given this is coming from a dragon age writer that’s pretty explicit.

  A cancelation is a full stop and needs to be treated as such with any resources from it that can be carried forward needing scrutiny before being brought in, with them understood as a fortuitous situation. None of this 'we’ve spent 10 cumulative years on it" when this round is just one year

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are your thoughts on Bidirectional brain-computer interfaces ?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So reading what was posted my concern is that medical startups that sell it properly aren’t prepared for several decades of supporting it.

  I’m quite supportive of disability assisting technology and the ability to use machines to connect the brain to the body or prostheses are things I’m generally in favor of (when the disabled are consulted and listened to).

  Now, Elon’s cyberpunk nightmare version of this where minds and computers are swapping thoughts directly? No, I’m not on board with that. Fortunately it doesn’t seem to be anywhere near the horizon.
