you’re the toxic one here, right now

I’ve had surgery to remove scar tissue preventing a chronic anal fissure for ever healing again (which is one of the most constantly painful things I’ve ever had to live with). The typical surgery also involves sphinterotomy (incision of the inner sphincter muscle to limit its ability to clench, one of the main…

Well duh, if they made the games control the correct way to begin with, we wouldn’t have to invert controls.

I live in Belgium, arguably the worst european country in terms of Covid management and contaminations... I caught it in the end of october, fortunately wth mild symptoms (I’ve had worse common colds), but I was dreadfully afraid I might contaminate my wife (who likely got it also, but couldn’t get tested due to…

Telescope -> James Bond movie -> James Bond game -> Gamers

All I can think about it how much of a burden Elliot just lifted off his shoulders, no longer having to live someone else’s life. It takes some getting used to for some people, with the change of name and pronouns, but damnit, that coming out took a lot of courage, the least anyone can do is honor that courage and…

Most anticipated sex game of all time? huh? people actually eagerly anticipate sex games? I mean, titties aside, how is it going to be different from other sex games? Isn’t the porn industry massive enough that everything’s been done a million times already and there’s little point to anticipating anything when…

Damnit, you’re right, no one should ever have any fun once in a while. I’m going to complain this instant that articles on Lifehacker should always be dead serious and utilitarian and never in any circumstances deviate from your expectations, which are crystalized Wisdom of All Humanity.

Hats off to you, good sir.

I guess rum’s already full of sugar so why add more with regular coke? Or did Tab really taste different in any significant fashion? I have no idea what Tab tastes like.

they’ll probably add in the option to swap controls or re-map the whole controller sometime down the line, maybe even in a day one patch... I think every playstation console (living room and portable) past the PS2 has had the option added at some point... I think it’s fine to have the international configuration as…

Are they actually calling it “spreadsheets in space”? O_o

Not in my nature to wish death upon anyone, even scumbags. However, I do rejoice a little in an “oh how ironic, serves you right” kind of way hoping he’ll get a little more than a runny nose out of it all... I’m a little worried about the repercussions of a symptom-free COVID case in his particular situation, he could…

Took over 16 months to get a government in place since the last elections in Belgium (though that’s due to complexities in a system that’s built around coalitions a numerous smaller parties, the US’s binary system makes this a non-issue). You’ll live with a few days wait just fine.

that japanese town SCREAMS “Kugane” from FFXIV’s Stormblood expansion, it’s like 85-90% identical

Ebay’s policy is that by winning a bid (to which the “buy now” feature is assimilated), you are obligated to follow through with the purchase. You can be exempted of this if eBay finds that the seller is fraudulous (I’ve actually had orders cancelled because they were too good to be true and the seller got banned),…

That’s pretty much what differentiantes the US from the rest of the civilized world. You’re still at that point ideologically.

Hate speech is not an opinion.

My weapon of choice is the one that hungers for darkness, then I improvise. It keeps the game fresh. I also like to pick up any boon that counts towards the Fated List first, or the most adequate one for my weapon when they’ve all been listed in once.

I went to IKEA this saturday to grab a bunch of stuff I needed for the new house (which aren’t available for delivery, store pick-up only)... I wouldn’t be surprised if there was somewhere between 1000-1500 customers at the same time in there, it was one continuous stream of people. Going into various aisles to pick…
