  Flirting is just part of seduction. It’s not just to “make intentions known”, people are more dynamic than that. Being flirted with will often actually create feelings that weren’t there before. If you enjoy how someone makes you feel, you open up and become closer. Merely being liked by someone can be quite flattering.

  The suits found out what servers are. Worst shit that ever happened

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reminder that you do not own digital games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. If Steam goes under (not really likely), there’s still GOG & itchio.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reminder that you do not own digital games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Piracy, in a word

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reminder that you do not own digital games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Multiplayer online games used to allow you to self-host so there was no obligatory centralised server. The game need not be deleted, that was purely a business decision.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you noticed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Solipsism, yeah maybe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you noticed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you try to figure out whether this person is hilarious or anti-intellectual? I scratched my chin off trying to spot the difference

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A cuppa Jill⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d only heard of council juice

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm gonna mute this one⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  In leftist spaces, the word liberal often has a different connotation more focused on economic liberalism.

  They don’t usually feel the need to clarify, and everyone gets mad. It must be incredibly fun to be an asshole these days.

  Nobody should expect Iran to show any kind of restraint,”

  Who will?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite Tactical RPGs?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not my fav by any means, but I’ve really been enjoying the Kriegsfront Tactics demo this week.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite Tactical RPGs?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for this rec, it looks delightful!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just be that way⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Surreal comedy is hardly random, it’s deliberately incongruous in ways that demonstrate a mastery of causal logic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tunic is awesome and I wish more people talked about it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Knowledge-gated progression perhaps.

  I kind of enjoy the abstruse, tortured jargon of “metroidbrainia”, but I would never use it in a respectable conversation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My partner and I had a habit of treating merges as teamwork. Driver focuses on front, copilot looks back/sideways, and driver implicitly trusts when copilot says “go”. We were pretty slick with our merges.

  To equivocate, we have since relocated to a city with good enough public transit that we were able to ditch our car entirely. Life is definitely better this way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Seems like a good deal if you are in to that sort of thing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re good at something, never do it for free.

  There’s definitely a demand issue in some cases, however.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peak male form⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I fucking knew it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What Happens If an Asteroid Heads for Earth?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Only a ~2% chance 4 years from now. And it’s an order of magnitude smaller than the one that hit Chicxulub. Yawn

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peak male form⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re getting into the body positivity discourse of a century old photo of dudes dressed like Beetlejuice’s day at the beach, so it pretty much goes without saying that we could all do with a gasp of fresh air.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peak male form⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m all for a low bar on male attractiveness - handsome is as handsome does. But, these fellas look barely this side of healthy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peak male form⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Every one of them looks like Gollum’s uncle, what are you saying

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Next Fest has started once again. What good demos have you found?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I showed my kid the trailer for bits & bops and he literally did a gasp of delight. Thanks for that :)

  You can’t change the machines, but try not to let them change you.

  Fig. A: Phenomenal pain

  Is nobody safe from the O thief? This gooner… Is now a goner.

  Don’t… Please don’t say it like that. We already had the stupidest sounding generation name.

  I guess the devil shits on the biggest pile.

  You paid that much for a watch that looks like you steal from your grandad?

  For quality and training purposes of course 🙃

  Damn it she’s asleep I’ll have to show her this one later. Hmm. “Hey babe, check it out they made a statue of you…”

  It’s important to have shared culture. Even if that culture is on par with the gut biome of a mung jumping aficionado
