Yeah I absolutely adored it but I love artsy games like it. I played it by candlelight and it was pure delight

People have been retreating inwards for a while. The rise of smartphones and the pandemic were major leaps in it but it’s kept increasing.
It hasn’t been good for me as an extrovert and I think it’s gone terribly for everyone. You may not like small talk with people you see around but it makes you feel not alone

If all these things are replaced so people can spend more time with each other instead of working then I’ll gladly take it, but if it’s just for profit throw it out.
Though driverless trains I’ll take on purely financial grounds, should save up money for trains to keep coming after last call so the drunks can ride home safe

Idk why they think that the Czech Republic has power over the Tongolese government. .to is the internet version of tongolese soil. Czech courts don’t have power over foreign flags of convenience

Fair warning it will also continue yellowing and getting more and more brittle if you do nothing. Plastic doesn’t biodegrade, but it does undergo aging in a way that makes it less durable than traditional materials. Wood can be kept from biodegrading, metal can be kept from corroding, but aging plastic just gets more and more brittle and just really wants to become microplastics
- Comment on Any advice for me a guy turning 18 yo old?? 6 days ago:
You are the only person who is fully stuck with you and vice versa. You have to live with your choices and behaviors, and I’ve never met someone who genuinely both should and does have no regrets.
You will fail to be a good person, you will disappoint people you respect, you will fuck up on the job and in your relationships, and you will be the asshole sometimes. Treat each of these instances as a chance for growth and humility. A sincere apology and putting effort towards being better in the future will go very far. And when others do the same show them the grace and kindness you wanted when you fucked up.
That said, some people are in destructive places and will keep fucking up and hurting people, understand when you can’t help and when it will hurt you to stay in their life.

Yeah in college I experienced both extremes. I spent about a year and a half completely isolated, just traveling between classes and my dorm. It was self destructive and my grades and mental health suffered. Then I made some life changes and started going to clubs and events and made friends and suddenly it was easier to study even though I had less time. I became extremely social and found myself spending nights doing everything from deep discussions of big ideas to long nights drinking with friends to lots of casual sex to long nights working on projects.
Because of all this I left college far more well rounded and prepared for my career and my marriage. To this day the skill of how to make friends and positive acquaintances has stuck with me and been a majorly useful skill.

Your social life as an adult is very much what you make it. Go do things that seem interesting even if you feel you’d rather stay home. Chat with people when you’re there. A huge component of modern loneliness is that we’re able to stay entertained and with a crude social life without seeing others irl, but it’s often not actually sufficient. So go get involved in something hobbies, activism, whatever events look interesting at the time. And remember that the things you do now are the memories and stories you’ll have when you’re old.

It was Montana westward past Yellowstone. I spent my life in the loving embrace of just west of the Appalachians and so I thought that since I’ve done my share of driving through Kentucky it would be bad but bearable. Then it started snowing at waist height in late spring. I wasn’t prepared for that.

I can confirm. Not even loved ones make that drive easy. The Rockies are hard to drive over. Fucking beautiful, but scary
- Comment on 15,000 Retro Gamers Voted And Chose The Best Retro Handheld Of All Time 1 week ago:
There’s a lot I love about the DS but it suffered immensely from the gimmick problem. Games that had no business being touch focused were forced into it. Zelda was probably the worst example, but the metroid game that used it for an fps was also up there.
I love the DS for my nostalgia of it, but any replaying of it is as uncomfortable as the wii

Listen, I have enough petty principles that sometimes I struggle to comprehend how someone being offered these bribes takes ones from people who do the most infuriating fucking shit. Piss me off enough and I’ll find a way to make $5 act as “fuck you money”
