  Tea, usually.

  Oh good, I thought I read “piss stimulators”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨oh cool⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  No, citizenship doesn’t apply to ascended beings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fallout: London modders still have no plans to port it to next-gen Fallout 4, unless a console version becomes possible⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  For now.

  There’s a pinned thread in the gog forums about the next-gen version and some customers are kinda asking for it, if you know what I mean…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dune Awakening developers Funcom are laying off an unspecified number of staff⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It usually means the foundation of the game (and thus any serious bug fixing) is done and next comes in milking with all kinds of half-baked DLCs and basic maintenance mode.
  Conan Exiles died the same way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What Are Ya'll Playing?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Mount and Blade Warband with conversion mods.
  All the different settings are interesting and each mod has its own specialty that makes it stand out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favourite menu music in a game?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Divinity: Original Sin main menu.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨oh cool⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That was because we like shootouts. It’s sad yes, but also fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨oh cool⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re sending a robot with a camera first.
  Then it’s two soldiers + two scientists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you think of any now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Objectively speaking, intelligence is considered to be the ability to reason.
  Following that line, high intelligence would be the ability to reason well.

  However, we humans do well because we specialize. It was discovered early on that we can’t do everything.
  One could say it’s our individuality which drives us towards having different proficiencies and the entire chain of schooling would better serve to explore and encourage pursuing such specializations.

  Where the means to cultivate proficiency are lacking, the end result will often be incomplete.
  That shouldn’t mean there is a lack of intelligence, but that it hasn’t been developed to its potential.
  I would say.. the base intelligence remains the same while expectations rise in concert with each own’s path of development.

  Life is neither easy nor fair. And opportunities aren’t equal. So i often try to remind myself that perspective changes with experience and as such any standard we set ourselves and others to tend to be laced with personal bias.

  Alphas.

  White Jesus.

  IQ.

  9 out of 10 dentists.

  Apple a day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The vampires, probably.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Borderlands 4 boss tells players "please get a refund from Steam if you aren't happy" as Randy Pitchford continues his very public crashout over the FPS's performance woes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Musk/Trump type wannabe.

  Ay Chihuahua!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A demo for Digimon Story: Time Stranger is now available for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox – Digitally Downloaded⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The "demo" had DRM, so I'm guessing it might be the full-ish game with artificial boundaries set?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arrowhead will target Helldivers 2's "crippling" tech issues now Xbox release is sorted, but would rather not do a "performance-only update"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Then do a bug faction nerf update, since it's the bigger complaint than the performance one, that I've seen at least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So far, the platforming has been on the lesser side, however the maps seem somewhat large. There's a chance it could pick up later on.
  I do think that the soulslike is the primary gameplay component though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends. Are you skilled in this genre? Can't say that i am, so my experience has limitations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Streets of Rogue. Dunno. It's fun. But it also gets repetitive.

  Tails of Iron. Artistically nice, but it's a souls-like so it gets annoying to keep hacking at frogs.

  Stranded: Alien Dawn. Played several hours in one go. Built a house. Don't understand everything, like what triggers the flamethrower, but it's a colony sim i guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s the plan?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok. One of us trips and breaks the sound system, the second coughs up a nasty furball in the pool and the last one uses the snack buffet as a litterbox.
  Afterwards, we meet at the backdoor in 5 and fake out a mice chase.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨inspirational⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Public toilets are still a thing, for now.

  Please avoid commenting in everyone's stead.

  Bootylicious is still being used, sporadically.

  He likes to brag about having candy, but not to share.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remember to 2FA your kidneys.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I'd say it's a thing. Different bodies, different habits, different rhythms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former BioWare exec producer says EA was pitched multiple times to remaster the first three Dragon Age games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There's bad blood there, but the original DA team should be completely gone with the last members having been sacked during Veilguard debacle.

  Maybe they'd like to shit on it one more time with a crappy remaster, who knows.

  Oh look! A wild Doctor Who reference. Don't blink!

  In the wide world of indies, no name is too weird to use.

  I did think of Voltaire the person, but I wasn't aware of the Crusader Kings connection.

  The vegan vampire? I can still see and buy it.

  Anything that praises the holy Roman empire gets an automatic pass.
