That is interesting, thanks
- Comment on What's the greatest joy you have gotten from a video game? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t track or rank joy like that, but discovering the dark world in The Legend of Zelda a Link to the Past is definitely up there. Just realising the world had this whole extra dimension to it.
I still love dimensionality / hidden depth in games.
I mean, who doesn’t?

Wow that does sound incredible

Damn that’s sad. So is Jack Layton like our Bernie Sanders? You can’t get three Canadians together without them pining over how Jack could have fixed all this.

Reminds me of the advertisements for DVDs that would play on VHS tapes, like… I’m watching this on a VHS.

Haha I’m not familiar with that stereotype, but that’s understandable. My family is full of more of the out-of-sight out-of-mind types.
Apologies on my “infiltrate” joke. I meant it in like an anti establishment way rather than an antisemitic way!

Damnn are you folks trying to infiltrate every Commonwealth country or what? Impressive spread you got there.
- Comment on Apple CEO Tim Cook Donating $1 Million to Trump's Inaugural Fund 2 weeks ago:
Yeah that’s what I was trying to imply: that he’s not supporting a bigot empowering fascist leader to save his actual skin, but to keep his personal business running smoothly.
Whereas queer folk without money are existentialy threatened by this administration and those it emboldens.

Finally someone said it
- Comment on Meta’s AI Profiles Are Already Polluting Instagram and Facebook With Slop 2 weeks ago:
Heard that. I hear people complaining about being forced to use WhatsApp to keep in touch with “boomer relatives.” Man I wish WhatsApp was the worse tool I was compelled to keep an account on.
- Comment on Apple CEO Tim Cook Donating $1 Million to Trump's Inaugural Fund 2 weeks ago:
I’m really not sure what the threat to him is though. Does “die” in this case mean lose out on money? One would think he already has his walk away money.
- Comment on Yeah, am I right fellas 2 weeks ago:
Ball-haver here, and agreed. Balls also hurt for a variety of reasons. Sometimes just gently elbowing yourself can lead to a dull ache that leaves you squirming.
Anecdotally ball pain does not sound nearly as bad as period cramps - and people are expected to go to work with those!
- Comment on And because you deserve it, here's one from the top shelf 2 weeks ago:
Yes, I’m fortunate enough to have gone without that particular withdrawal.
But heroin is exactly what I was thinking when I added the qualifier “depending on the drug.”
I would never compare weed to heroin in any aspect.
- Comment on And because you deserve it, here's one from the top shelf 2 weeks ago:
The psychological aspect is the hardest part of any addiction. Yeah withdrawal sucks, but depending on the drug it’s just like being sick.
If all it took to break an addiction was being sick for a week it wouldn’t be hard.

- Comment on If you are a young person you have no idea how bad everyone and everything smelled until at least the 1990s. 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I’ve got some herbal blend that I’ll roll up every now and again when my brother the smoker comes over, and I kind of get a pang like I’d also like one.

I’m still waiting for a steal
- Comment on What are your most played games? 3 weeks ago:
If you could mods and third party derivatives, Doom/II
- Comment on What's the game you play when nothing else sounds good? 3 weeks ago:
This is what I also do. I have plenty of old favourites, but if I’m really not in the mood, I don’t try to push it.

- Comment on Half-Life 2 is currently 100% off for its 20th anniversary, plus a major update 2 months ago:
Enjoy! Would love to hear a newcomer’s thoughts on it. I remember it being so immersive and cinematic the first time I played.
Though many of its innovations are now common in other games.
- Comment on What good thing just happened in your life? 2 months ago:
My parents, in their 70s, started receiving a guaranteed income supplement (they’re Canadian). They’re still poor, but finally they can afford the basics of survival without having to work full time.
It’s such a huge change.

Added to the list! Thanks for the recco, it sounds like a good game to go in to if you’ve got reasonable expectations.
- Comment on I want to feel like a bad-ass wizard 2 months ago:
Kingdoms of Amalur is a great example of a perfectly enjoyable, mid action RPG. It’s not going to like define a generation, but every time it comes up I think back on it fondly.
I would like another like it.

Can we just say it isn’t? Like that’s an exception, and then the rest of math can just go on like normal
