You realize nobody is making you play the game?
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 5 days ago:
If it’s not challenging, why are you complaining?
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 5 days ago:
Because if you can’t make it through the denizens, you can’t make it through the boss. It’s a filter.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 5 days ago:
Why? If you can’t get through that, you aren’t going to beat the boss.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 5 days ago:
Hot take here, but I don’t mind them. Exactly because they take focus. They tell me when it’s time for a break. If I’m not up for the runback, then I’m not up for aother attempt at the boss.

- Comment on Has a woman ever orgasmed by subwoofer? 2 weeks ago:
Absolutely, yes. I dated a girl for years that would orgasm when the wind blew. Not quite, but you get the point
When she was bored she could squeeze her thighs together and make herself cum. She couldn’t ride a bike, her eyes would would roll back and she’d almost crash. She would spontaneously orgasm simply from arousal, which was fun because she’s orgasm repeatedly while giving blowjobs. She would absolutely orgasm from the vibrations of a large woofer.

- Comment on Even households earning $150,000 a year are struggling with credit card and car payments 1 month ago:
I imagine a lot of people making that much did exactly what I did. Over-leverage but temporarily. House poor basically.
When COVID hit I was renting in the bay area with my girlfriend. During lockdown I proposed, and after deciding we want a family, decided to take our bay area salaries elsewhere to buy a house.
We traded our 3k rent for a 2k mortgage with 1k insurance and taxes. Even.
But, leaving the bay we needed cars. My one little two seater wasn’t going to do it, we’re starting a family. So we got two larger cars, right when the market was inflated. Financed both of them.
The new big property we got has a little barn, let’s renovate that into an ADU for guests and to generate rent. Didn’t have the cash on hand so took out another loan about the same as a car to fix that up.
Now we’re strapped, basically living month to month. But those secondary loans were all 5 year loans, so in 2 more years they’re paid off, freeing up about $3k per month.
I basically don’t think any of these articles about people making that kind of salary are taking into account how weird a time covid was. Lots of people made big changes while interes rates were low, purposely over-leveraging themselves. It also gave everyone this yolo attitude as well, like fuck it all, treat yourself.
I’d be more interested to revisit this in 2027 when any 5 or 6 year car loans and secondary loans taken out during the record low rates are all paid off.

Same spot here. Took my permanent remote SE job to a depressed but beautiful coastal California town. A lot of folks seem to dislike me for some reason.

Once the kid is like 10, the outside world has like 90% of the influence on them. If anything the teachers are at fault. Cell phones should not be allowed in schools, and harassment of any kind should be immediately punished.

- Comment on The Steam controller was ahead of its time 2 months ago:
I have 2. I absolutely love it. I prefer it for playing 3rd person games like the witcher and monster hunter too. I like the granular control and momentum for panning around the world.
I bought the second one for $5 when valve was doing the discontinuation liquidation sale. Someone commented that the Vive wands use the same track pads and other parts, so it’s a no brainer to buy one to have the parts on hand. At this point the Vive wands are extra parts for keeping my steam controllers going.

I dated a Muslim girl. In college. We were both 22 and she still had to keep it a secret. Her dad called her every night at 8pm to make sure she did her work and was getting ready for bed. I often had to overhear that right before we fucked.
Don’t be a baby about it. If you want to be with her, be in understanding and do what it takes.
