Haven’t been playing much this week yet. I guess Airborne Kingdom relaxed me too much and I felt the need to mellow down for a while longer.
Someone shared Grounded with me to try it out, but I haven’t felt the mood to give it a go for now. Maybe by weekend time I’ll be in the mood to feel tiny and fight giant, scary bugs/spiders.

Fair point. It might be an emergency PR fail, but it does feel quite embarrassing to close the topic blaming the users.
- Comment on Not just crumbs in the CPU socket: Over 100 AMD 9800X3D chips are now reported to have gone pop and the most by far have died in ASRock motherboards 2 days ago:
It might still be. The article does mention that the numbers might be caused by its popularity and that the issue isn’t exclusive to it.
- Comment on With the current state of the news, April's fools aren't fun anymore because they can't be distinguished as easily as before 2 days ago:
April’s fools is a line break. It reminds people that things don’t have to be as they are, that they’re not on an inescapable path and they can choose to be different.
For one day a year you are made to look for deviations so you know that you can deviate if you want to. You have that option in spite of however many shackles may keep you bound to your route.
It’s not a holiday for the mean to be meaner, it’s a liberation day for the mind.

People, as individuals or groups, are complicated. And annoying. This is such a pain to deal with… Don’t wanna. Bleh.

You know, the loudest homophobes are often revealed as closeted homosexuals.
You are also very loud in your opinion. You should probably reexamine yourself.

I’m advocating that you stop making excuses for yourself.
- Comment on Warner Bros. Cancels Planned ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Game Expansion 4 days ago:
You’re right, both sides aren’t the same. One side has devolved into foregoing what we like to think of as humanity because they have a boner for hate and the other makes excuses on why degrading themselves to the same level isn’t the same.
It’s a play on words. I’ll skip the nuances and get right down to the core, “they started murdering people, so I’m murdering them back”. But here’s the thing, killing is still killing, even in self-defense. No matter how many justifications, running away from this concept only serves to bring you ever closer to the mentality of the other side.
The very simplified “both sides” is alluding to the idea that both are very much willing to give up empathy, ethics and law if it means getting rid of the opposite side. The selective application of these three concepts is what bridges you together in a way that makes an outside observer say “so similar, they might as well be the same” a.k.a. “both sides”.
No exception to empathy, no exception to ethics, no exception to law, no matter how saintly and no matter how evil.

Someone else commented that the melting ice up north and oceanic currents changing means the way by Greenland will likely become the major trading route for whatever the fuck is left of human civilization in the near future.

Played Sniper Elite V2. At first i thought it was the first Sniper Elite remade, but it’s actually about the V2 missile program. Weird, I know. My best achievement in the game that for some silly reason isn’t an achievement has to be randomly hitting an NPC in both testicles. Beats 3 heads in a row by a longshot.
Wonder if one can hit 6 nuts in a row or might it be too much to ask for? …
Anyway, in Old World, Assyria declared war on me because I was weak and then spent dozens of years doing nothing, which allowed me to build up an army. They had slingers and warriors, I had spearmen. Turns out when your units pierce into the second row, spit roasting your enemies can be an effective strategy, if you manage to position them properly. First time conquering an enemy in this game.
But I’ll probably quit soon because just as in the Civilization games, I fail at being the conquering type. Sorry Assyria, the game made me do it.
Looking to go through my library, my next try will probably be Airborne Kingdom. While I lack the imaginative creativity I’ve seen others achieve, i believe my floating bucket of bolts will nonetheless stick to the skies as i peacefully wander about that weird little world.
- Comment on Devs of Monster Crown: Sin Eater a 2D monster taming RPG want to 'take that concept to its absolute limits' 1 week ago:
“its absolute limits”
So how many sexual kinks are we talking here? If there’s none, then the game is nowhere near the genre’s current absolute limits.

Doesn’t matter if the female is deaf. She still calls for mating and the males will hear her.

And here i was hoping any fascination is a woman cheesing it.

So you’re saying there’s a chance anyone fascinated with a piece of cheese might be a woman?
- Comment on If you think that you are always right remember you could actually be stupid and not know it 1 week ago:
I know I’m an idiot and I know everyone else is as well, in their own way. So when I call people idiots, I do it as a fellow idiot gently reminding them they are in fact idiots.

Got into Old World. I have zero planning and just roll with it, which led me to start a war against Egypt with my 4 elephants and several axemen thinking i was hot stuff. Egypt had 3 onangers nested on hills, a dozen pikemen and a random ballista.
I was annihilated from the militaristic point of view.
Still won the match through ambitions though since they happened to be a match with what I still had going for me.
I was annoyed though. They were doing 8-10hp damage per hit at times and i was only doing 3. My small army went from hot to not in only a few turns and i couldn’t figure out why. Turns out i just suck at it.
Anyway, if you’ve played Civilization, you’ll easily see the influence. The card and character randomness can be fun or frustrating and you might find yourself wondering at times why your resources aren’t growing as high as you were expecting them to. Better watch for that discontent!
I only have the base game so no comment on the DLCs.

You also need a third, unbiased source, then cross-reference the information gathered from all sides and build a reasonable conclusion.
But if that’s too much work, then join the side that benefits you. After all…
“The greatest happiness is to vanquish your enemies, to chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth, to see those dear to them bathed in tears, to clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters.

Or the abridged version:
“To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.”

Windows 11 comes with OneDrive shortcuts replacing the local storage Documents folders by default. Nothing in those folders is saved locally, only online on Onedrive.
