King's Quest 5 not only spurred my love of video games, but also my love of fantasy - which continues to this day. The earliest memories I have of KQ5 I couldn't even get past the snake. The first half of the game still holds more nostalgia for me than the second half. I wish these two well, but I really hope they…

“compulsion loop" is perhaps the most obscene phrase I've read today. I need a shower. 

So would this be a buy if the recall is sufficiently successful? I’m in the market for a smaller EV commuter (around 120 km/75 miles a day, sometimes more), and the bolt seems to be the best option with the leaf nearly impossible to find. My local dealer doesn't even have a test car for the leaf. 

Does he have a fucking katimavik tattoo? I like him even more now. 

I hate everything. 

Undermine isn’t on game pass any more - it was removed a couple months ago. I would swap it out for frustpunk, which is so, so good. Also, The Gunk is a lot of fun, a lightweight Metroid prime-like. Atomicrops is great. Other honorable mentions as of Jan 7 2022: Sable, Steep, subnautica (both of them), Superliminal,…

That's true. Thanks for this. 

I just did the same thing last night, hahaha. Ah well. Maybe I'll get AC: Rogue for free, that's the only one I don't have at this point. Wouldn't mind dipping my toes into watch dogs as well. 

“jord, I know Bitcoin looks like a scam, but just buy 100$ worth, put it in cold storage, and don't lose the damn key. Wait until 2021 or so." - to 2010 me, standing in front of the world's first Bitcoin ATM and getting cold feet.

Yeah, as much as people rag on icbc here in BC, it does prevent situations like this from happening, so long as the buyer knows they don't own the car until the title is in their hands (which legally should happen at point of sale). 

I think it means the last person still asleep on the morning of St. Stephens day. 

I had around 200 bucks in bitcoin on quadrigacx - would be worth a lot more now, but I’ll never see any of it. My bet is he's still alive. 

Exactly. Warding off death is not always extending life. 

I'll check it out! Yeah Atomicrops is brutal without the right drops (or even with them). I've only got to year 3 but it's still a blast. 

If you like this and hades, you should try Atomicrops. It's super weird but a wonderful Rougelike/postapocalyptic farming simulator. I've sunk wayyyy too much time into it. 

Mn, timesplitters! I hope they bring that to game pass now. 

Also money launderers. 

When the game wouldn’t let my wife and I keep it there, I imagine the jackass coming in and being like ‘really, do you need that old thing in the bathroom? I mean you’re never going to use it.’

The idea behind these sets are cool, but the build quality isn’t fantastic and they start taking up a LOT of space once you have a few. We buy them for my son for play therapy and already have a 2.5ft x 2.5ft table pretty well covered with around 4 sets. He loves them, but we’re pretty much at the limit we can handle…

Oh my gosh. Then toy story becomes a movie about a real space man trapped in the body of a toy, having a nervous breakdown because no one believes him. So good.
