- Comment on Split Fiction's Josef Fares says they'll never offer microtransactions: "Just make games. Period." 14 hours ago:
I don’t know his work but that background makes so much sense because as good as these games are, they are extremely rigid. There is only one plot path to success.
There’s a point in It Takes Two that some people might not want to take the action suggested, but you have to in order to move the story forward.
(Slight spoiler, it involves deliberately attempting to make their daughter cry.)

All so that none of their tenants can afford any of those four things without constantly struggling!

Here is an article discussing it.
I would personally think that Buddhist techniques like mindfulness and meditation would be helpful here.
I don’t know how I really achieved it, but one thing I do remember I did was altering my negative self-talk so I would be alarmed and notice I was doing it.
I basically changed “I should kill myself” to “I should kill (some other specific person)”, as the latter horrified me. Might be a similar technique.
- Comment on Trump wants to tax the world 4 weeks ago:
Okay, so what’s the other side? He decides not to tariff them if he gets a personal bribe or policy concession.
That’s the Trump tax.

We remember those moments with shame because we keep reliving them and reveling in the shame.
Remembering something taints the memory with your current mindset.
When those memories come up, choose a different response. Laugh at yourself. Forgive yourself. Love yourself.
Those memories will change in response when you stop the self-abuse. And it really does feel better too.

Even the archive.org version is pay walled for me. Very strange.
- Comment on I hate how many people are against russian ancestry 5 weeks ago:
I gotta say that anecdotally I’ve heard how awesome and accepting and loving the people living under totalitarian governments are except for Russian people.
So I honestly apologize, it’s just been reinforced by my media consumption and lack of travel to learn and mingle.

Time to start researching if I can build my own wind turbine, I suppose…
- Comment on I pissed myself off in the shower. No, not in that way. 2 months ago:
The way I look at things it’s a disease, the root of it being that it makes you not at ease with yourself.
We can’t treat this disease by altering the brain, but we can alter the body. So this is the best treatment we have to offer at the moment, and people should be allowed to pursue it.
I only became more adamant about this in the last year since my wife and I took in a trans person in need. It’s personal for me now.

- Comment on Robot vacuum cleaners are being hacked to spy on your family, chase pets, hurl verbal abuse, and the makers claim users 'do not need to worry excessively about this' 4 months ago:
My Roomba only turns on when I press the button. Granted it can have wifi access but I work from home and never set that up. All it can do is translate error codes and I can Google those.
It’s my fourth Roomba in 20 years. Not bad as I’m someone who never vacuums otherwise.

- Comment on Row erupts over Farage constituency surgeries after he told LBC the public ‘will flow through door with knives' 5 months ago:
Yup, thank you again. I’d gathered from the article that it was likely a sort of political consultation but even looking in a dictionary didn’t exactly clear it up.

I’m a dumb American who has never seen the word surgeries used in this context. Can someone explain?
- Comment on Andrew Greenberg, co-creator of the classic RPG Wizardry, has passed away 6 months ago:
My first CRPG, only behind D&D.
My dad ran a campaign for our family when I was seven or so. Original D&D, not even advanced. It didn’t last terribly long but left a lifelong impression.
- Comment on Steam Suffers Major DDoS Attack During Launch of “Black Myth: Wukong” 6 months ago:
Probably Epic. It’s one of the times Steam is at peak usage and sabotaging a big Steam launch would ‘work well’ for them.
Of course trying to sabotage and failing makes Steam look better, which is why Epic continues to flounder.
- Comment on Worms Armageddon Anniversary Edition: A Retro Revival | Retro Gaming News 24/7 6 months ago:
My buddies and I would play on the Playstation and I got very very good at ninja roping across the map to drop dynamite on someone’s head and swing back to safety in time.
Nothing more I loved than that maneuver, except maybe getting a concrete donkey.

As another commenter pointed out, I was thinking of the 5200. But yeah, I was also doubtful.
