- Comment on Why is kissing? 2 days ago:
Lips and tongue are erogenous zones that you have fairly fine control over, and aside from feeling nice, pressing your face right up against someone else’s chompers is a sign of mutual vulnerability and trust.

For the prices, or the access to things they don’t sell anymore? If I went to 1992 I think I could stock up on Ecto Cooler and TMNT pudding pies at the same time, maybe even Crystal Pepsi.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 week ago:
I played the intro campaign of Wildermyth, and not only is it great as the “fantasy XCOM” I was hoping for, but if you’re the type of person to headcanon little stories and relationships between your party in a tactics game, this game is for you.
- Comment on If reincarnation exists, suicide could make things much much worse. 2 weeks ago:
Someone will come up with a strat to reroll into something obscure like a wood louse and farm so much positive karma with an exploit that it won’t matter how negative you were.
- Comment on What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom? 2 weeks ago:
All the major character replacements on MASH were better than the characters they replaced. It’s not that I don’t like Burns and Blake, but Winchester and Potter were just so much more interesting. Trapper John was kind of a rapey creep even for the time, so there’s no question BJ was the winner there. Honestly as much as I love Radar, even Klinger taking over his position was an improvement. There was only so much more they could do with his Beaver Cleaver Goes to War shtick.
- Comment on Steam winter sale is live. What patient games are you picking up? 3 weeks ago:
Ooh, Wildermyth looks pretty tempting too…
- Comment on Steam winter sale is live. What patient games are you picking up? 3 weeks ago:
I haven’t bought anything yet, but I’ve been compiling a short list of mostly DRPG games like the old Might and Magics that I’ve been playing, specifically ones that’ll work on the Deck nicely. It’s a genre I loved when I was younger that’s been rather missing from my modern collection.
- Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord and/or
- Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls
- Legends of Amberland II
- Operencia: The Stolen Sun
- Songs of Conquest (not a DRPG, but a great-looking spiritual successor to Heroes of Might and Magic 3.)
And then on GoG, I might pick up a few real old ones, like Lands of Lore and/or Wizards & Warriors, but I don’t think those will be good for steam deck even through Heroic.
- Comment on I sometimes can't sleep at night. Perhaps my brain's "CMOS Chip" battery ran out and my circadian rhythm defaulted to my "factory settings" of Beijing Time (UTC +8), which would explain my insomnia. 5 weeks ago:
I feel like for a lot of us, the 24 hour day does not align with our natural rhythm. Since working from home for a few years, I found that a 26-hour day fits better for me. I’d fit in great on DS9.
- Comment on Anyone a fan of Wizardry, or other first-person dungeon crawlers? 5 weeks ago:
Oh, and GOG has both Grimrock games for a pittance right now. That miiiight be my whole weekend now.
- Comment on Anyone a fan of Wizardry, or other first-person dungeon crawlers? 5 weeks ago:
Ooh, I’m really digging the art style on Grimrock. It’s very reminiscent of the weird-looking old games, but so charming and slick about it.
Weepstone also looks fantastic, like playing an AD&D sourcebook. Will definitely be trying that demo this weekend.

- Comment on YSK about Project 100,000, when the US conscripted people with mental disabilities to be used as cannon fodder in Vietnam, suffering triple the casualties of other soldiers 5 weeks ago:
His parents were just massive fans of Klinger from MASH.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
That’s Earth’s shtick. People think it’s pluck or determination, but no. It’s near-universal fuckability.

If you can find all the pieces, have you heard of kintsugi?
If not, it’s a Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics with gold, creating something new and beautiful out of the destruction as the cracks become gold veins running through the piece.
Maybe you could find a craftsman or at least experienced hobbyist in your area who could repair it like that?
- Comment on Best vertical games on Android? 1 month ago:
I don’t play many Android games, and enjoy even fewer, but Hoplite is great. It’s pretty simple to play but still requires some thinking, which is what I want out of a mobile game.
- Comment on Help me decide what I should name my game! Currently Country Architect, it turns out that "country" has a double meaning in English that I was not aware of 1 month ago:
Nationeering?
- Comment on Are they still underpants if you aren't wearing pants? 1 month ago:
The brits neatly sidestep this quandry by calling them pants and trousers respectively, and I think they’ve honestly got the superior system there. I mean one of our American gods (Superman) wears them on the outside, how can we continue in good conscience to call them “under”-pants?
- Comment on With bathing, water recirculation is more easily accepted. 1 month ago:
That doesn’t sound right, but I don’t know enough about dishwashers to dispute it.
- Comment on Where's the best point to jump into modern Resident Evil? 1 month ago:
That sounds great. I really liked 4, and unfamiliar is fine as long as it’s not unfamiliar because I’m supposed to have played half a dozen other games first.

- Comment on Games that I finished this year so far. Probably the best year of gaming for me since 2007 1 month ago:
The gameplay could have used a little work, but man as an overall experience Guardians of the Galaxy was pretty great. I’d love to see them get a sequel, or a similar game with a different super-team like the Exiles.

Then go ask your fucking slopbot to “brainstorm” with you, chud.
- Comment on So I'm fashionably late to Solasta. What custom campaigns did you folks enjoy? 2 months ago:
I got the Lightbringers (Complete) edition because some of the base classes and a couple races are locked behind DLC packs. I’m not too happy they did that, but it wasn’t that bad on sale. It looks like a lot of the custom campaigns require Palace of Ice because of items or monsters it added too. So I’d try to get the complete pack on sale.

- Comment on Who was your first childhood videogame crush? 2 months ago:
It was made by Don Bluth. You might have seen his other game Space Ace, and you’ve definitely seen some of his movies, like An American Tale (Fievel), All Dogs Go To Heacen, Secret of NIMH, or Rock-a-doodle.

- Comment on Who was your first childhood videogame crush? 2 months ago:
I guess there were plans for one that turned into the Netflix show Love, Death, and Robots. Which I mean, has some great episodes, but it’s no Heavy Metal. Not nearly enough titties and zero Loc-nar.
- Comment on Who was your first childhood videogame crush? 2 months ago:
Princess Daphne from Dragon’s Lair. I’m so very old.
