Today on Horde Kitchen I’m gonna teach you how to make hot moldy cheese while being attacked on all sides relentlessly. Now, you’re gonna need to find a microwave, and once you do, slap that rotten cheese on in there and set it to high. Don’t mind the smell, it’s killing the audience around you as fast as it’s choking you out. Now when your cheese is cooked, cook it again. You can make cheese out of anything: sunglasses, keys, bracelets, if it’s food or spelled with the same alphabet food is spelled with, you can make cheese out of it. Oops, I just got touched by a random goblin who fell off the cliff I was standing next to. Until next time, on Horde Kitchen!

A former friend of mine voice acted in Borderlands 3. The moment I heard their voice I shut the game off and sold the disc back to the store, a long time ago.
In a way, they spared me a lot of boredom. I like to think I put those abruptly-refunded hours into Clair Obscur.
No, Tanis, you put them into a ton of failed Megabonk runs that you got slightly ticked off at, so the net effect emotionally was basically the same.

Buddy, I get that you’re a cis hetero white guy, and that all the time is your time to weigh in and tell people how bad stuff is,
but would you not? Please?
My wife spent a large portion of the morning crying because ICE seized her passport a while back, she paid the replacement fee, and it came back with an M on it.
You’re prolly well meaning, but goddammit now is not the time considering that trans people are being specifically targeted.
Don’t reply.

Yeah, you’re right, even when people have hit rock bottom, they’ll just get a more powerful subterranean speed-tunneller.

We play games because they’re stories and challenges put forth by other humans that look interesting.
Even if a slop machine put together a cohesive game involving metaphor and emotions, it’s still not human and it still won’t be played and enjoyed. It would ring hollow, just like AI sound files that try to approximate human music.

I did just win against the intro AI in SETI, but it was a challenge. I’m gonna have to internalize more of how this works.
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 2 days ago:
I really wish I could sit down and engage with the heavier stuff in my collection, but it comes to me with much difficulty.
Currently, as we speak, I’m playing SETI—kind of a slow-burn research builder where alien life gets discovered. It’s a lot of brain load though.
However, I know that I’m in a precarious spot. With the brain damage I’ve already sustained, if I’m not pushing my brain as hard as I can, it’ll start falling apart.
Don’t have strokes, kids.

Cause they need to, man. Next hero comes down the hall expecting dancing fuckin’ skeletons to whack, what else are they gonna do? Their union contract guarantees them good pay, calcium paste, and a continuous supply of puppet strings. Let ‘em do their jobs. They’re tired, man.

Seeing as how you’re some sort of hardware tech, I bet the money I splash out on clothes would leave you bewildered. Likewise, sure, I use Linux, but only cause I want something reliable. I don’t fuck with it. I spend my money looking how I want to look.
Fuckin’ let people enjoy the things they enjoy. :/
- Comment on Bought a 3DS XL last year 1 week ago:
You know shit about computers? Fuckin’ nerd. That’s an obsession.
You know what a hobby is? A hobby is what I like and enjoy, not you. Yours are obsessions, mine are hobbies.

You may want to consider playing a game that’s less psychologically abusive. Games with “energy” and timers that dictate that you play on their schedule, not yours, games with tiers of premium currency, games that demand you participate for events or miss out; these dark patterns are harmful to the psychological health, and you would do to walk away from this and play a game that respects your time, your availability, your effort, and your wallet.

At the end of the day, I take comfort in recognizing that no one knows me, and that both my contributions and my cringe will be erased from the shore of civilization by the tides of time. I’m not famous, not smart, not special, not a pedophile in charge of the country, I’m just nobody, and that gives me all the power I would ever want.
- Comment on Are people still fooled by this dumb quiz's? 2 weeks ago:
I actually have no idea what my IQ is. I just say 96 cause it’s the shy side of perfectly average, and no one has any follow-up questions about that, and then the IQ conversation is fizzled out, and we can talk about more interesting things, like the guy who’s currently leaving a shit against my birch tree just outside.
Fucker better wipe my tree. >:(
- Comment on Are people still fooled by this dumb quiz's? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve got an IQ of ninety-six, which is good enough for me. It’s pretty high, just four points off the maximum.
