There’s enough fish in the sea that there’s probably a guy out there’ll that’ll be a fit if you try hard enough to look, but if I were a bettin man I’d wager they are considerably few in number. How you act during sex also matters, whether act or not. Basically, I doubt many men would be fine with a “dead fish.”
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 3 weeks ago:
Monster Hunt: Wilds is on sale right now on Playstation. 30% off. I’ve been a fan of the series since the first, back on PS2, and have bought many titles in the franchise. While I pretty much couldn’t care less about the story (which mainline MH has never been known for, anyways,) in every other sense, the game has been delivering for me. It’s been a really depressing few weeks. I bought the game last Sunday and it’s been one of the few things that has gotten me to smile.

There is the purpose a tool was meant for, and then there is the purpose people will actually use the tool for.
- Comment on Women and men and consensual sex 3 weeks ago:
What immediately came to my mind was the phrase, “A key that opens a lot of locks is a good key, a lock that is opened by a lot of keys is a shitty lock.” And generally, that’s something you’re a lot more likely to bump into than rape, which is a much more uncomfortable to talk about for a lot of people and so it’s almost never going to be brought up. Combine that with some rape cases that get swept under the rug with phrases like, “boys will be boys,” “she was asking for it,” or even something as outright cruel as “it’s the only way she’d get laid anyways,” and yeah, where OP is coming from isn’t too hard to understand.

Thought the art looked good and just read what was out. Cute, fun and fluffy romp. Pleasant art.

Depending on the choices, I may not even care. Honestly, that sounds great to me. Thanks for the heads up, I didn’t know.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077: A Beautiful Night City but oh what it could have been. 3 weeks ago:
I played long after most of the bugs were fixed, just a bit before 2.0 and Phantom Liberty came out (I’ve yet to get it, but, eventually it will happen.) On PS5 so everything ran pretty well. I loved the game a lot, and generally speaking, I have little to complain about. I would have liked more side quests and for the ones that exist to be more fleshed out than some background via texts. And I’m saying that after having gone around and completing every odd job/side quest/gig.
But my only real gripe is after having played through the story a couple times, it becomes really tedious to get through enough of the story to open up all of Night City again when starting up a new play through. I wish there were a way to accelerate that so I can just drop in and play with a new game and a new playstyle without having to sit through all the long dialogues and car chit chats.
- Comment on What is your favorite Metroidvania? 3 weeks ago:
Wut.
Looked this up. Can’t believe Record of Lodoss War got a game in 2021. I remember watching the 1990 anime on Toonami’s online-only list of anime at the time, along with Harlock Saga. Both old school AF.
- Comment on What is your favorite Metroidvania? 3 weeks ago:
I have a list of Metroidvania’s I’ve started but never completed. The only one that managed to hold my attention to completion that wasn’t an actual Metroid title was Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Which is a shame, because Ori and The Blind Forest is beautiful and Hollowknight is very cute, but neither could really hold my attention.

Wonder if Ubi will eventually collapse and get bought up by UAE as well.

- Comment on Years later, Arkane’s Dishonored is still a modern stealth classic 4 weeks ago:
I played the first game way, way back. At the very least, I remember completing it, and liking it. So fast forward several years, the game goes on sale plenty, and I’ve forgotten nearly all of it, but remembered I liked it. So why not play it again right. Picked it up for cheap, and just could jot get into it. I tried a couple times even, but I just can’t for some reason.
- Comment on When "AI" content becomes indistinguishable from human-made content, is there, philosophically speaking, any meaningful differences between the two? 4 weeks ago:
AI music really caught me off guard. One day I was looking for something very specific to vibe to. I wanted instrumental power metal, like Dragonforce but no vocals. And I found that in Metal Mastery, a YouTube channel. I liked it so much it I looked into it more, turns out it’s AI and the guy is very upfront about it and all. But I would have never known if I wasn’t told. There’s also nothing that really fills that niche either, so I still listen to the albums now and then.
- Comment on Taking a photo to remember a moment is actually outsourcing that memory to an image, so your brain does less work and remembers it worse. 4 weeks ago:
Or, you just wind up having no memory, and nothing to jog your memory, cause straight up, the human brain is not capable of holding onto it all. There is certainly something to be said for living in the moment, but to condemn picture taking entirely is dumb.
- Comment on Wealthy people of color should help minorities but they choose not to 4 weeks ago:
Can’t help but remember that one time O.W. Gurley bought some 40 acres of land and sold it only to blacks, helping to start what would become known as Black Wall Street. Only for it to burned down in the Tulsa race massacre.
Which is not to say it shouldn’t be tried again.
- Comment on Are physical mail generally not under surveillance? If everyone suddently ditched electronic communications and start writing letters, would governments be able to practically surveil everyone? 4 weeks ago:
At 3 billion people, I imagine paper companies would be jumping for joy.
But yeah, that sounds like it’d be a bastard to surveil.

It’d be cool if it were true, but I’m pressing X to doubt.
- Comment on What personal dramas have you witnessed with/among your fellow players while gaming? 4 weeks ago:
Back when Overwatch was fresh, had a couple randoms I wound up buddying and partnering up with pretty often for a few weeks. But one of them was a really annoying person on mic, who was just very clingy with the other guy. Then other guy wanted to drop clingy guy. Clingy guy freaked. They didn’t split but I eventually just stopped playing. Don’t know how their friendship ultimately turned out.

Nothing much new to say, just reiteration. A big or huge or gigantic map is fine, so long as it’s populated by meaningful content.
- Comment on We always hear/read about Goverments cencoring the internet. What is something that the US is not knowing is being censored? 5 weeks ago:
Can you give me any more details? That’s a little vague in and of itself. Mage: The Accension, a TTRPG, is what first comes up when I google it, but really, there’s a number of things it could be.
- Comment on Shein bans sex dolls after France outrage over 'childlike' ones 5 weeks ago:
While it’s cool the major online retailers have delisted the items, somewhere out there, the group that is the actual third party shop that makes the items is still out there. These major online retailers are just distributors. It’s possible the producers may just give up and pack up, but they also may just seek other, less seen avenues of sale through websites that aren’t so pulicly at large.

I can’t help but think of how the original Deus Ex existed in a world where crackpot conspiracy theories like this were just the reality. And this sounds like it would make a great setting itself as some agent works their way through a conspiracy, going on a small world tour of levels in various major powers of the world before finally ending in a boss battle in some hidden hi-tech but occultish basement of the Vatican where we find the Anti-Christ is preparing to unleash whatever high-tech equivalent is for the Mark of the Beast, and it’s our final big job to take him down to stall his coming to power for the next millenia or some nonsense.
Sorry if you take your theories seriously, I just can’t. But I’d bet they’d make a cool story.

- Comment on What exactly is the reasoning behind Satan ruling Hell? 5 weeks ago:
Yep, sorry, that was my bad and a holdover from having that actual scenario play out and being annoyed with it. Then I second guessed myself, checked your post history, which showed your most likely legit, then deleted my comment. So nevermind, I was in the wrong.
- Comment on I wonder if K-pop Demon Hunters is so popular because it's a ready allegory for the fight against fascism and authoritarianism... 5 weeks ago:
I don’t think kids give a lick about any of that. The songs are catchy, the animation is goofy but endearing, the girls are charming and relatable despite their “stardom,” the fantastical elements still play into universal themes (feeling like one must hide the dark side of one’s self versus breaking free.) Politics is definitely not a part of it.
- Comment on What exactly is the reasoning behind Satan ruling Hell? 5 weeks ago:
The weeping and gnashing of teeth isn’t even explicitly hell.
10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. 11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
It’s just a general separation from God. Which you could call a Hell, but it’s not explicitly stated as a product of that realm which is Hell.
