I’ve always figured when I do get married I’d take my wife’s last name (as long as I liked how my first name sounds paired with it) since I don’t really care to tie any children I may have to my father’s side of my family (and, to be honest, I think it might be fun to not have that name anymore).

Those who know me know…

Yeah Guy #1 has some real shitbags for friends.

One of the central creators of the game is pretty openly racist and misogynist.

My mother read the whole series to me and one of my siblings when we were very young children (4-5 years old) (before moving on to reading The Lord of the Rings books to us).

Very interesting looking at it through a progressive, actually-historical lens now.

I already uninstalled the game. It’s janky and uninteresting and many other games do similar stuff much better.

I’ll spend my time playing actually good games.

Lots of good points being made in the comments about why this is stupid and this guy is grasping at straws, but they are all missing what really matters about this story: this dude is complete trash as are all streamers who heavily promote skin gambling and other such things. So fuck him.

Having got all the way through the tutorial portions into what seems like the open world, you are 100% correct about your observations, good and bad.

I quit playing today after it was giving me the lockpicking tutorial and I literally ran out of lockpicks for the tutorial without ever successfully picking the lock and…

“Creators should consider the consequences of their statements and the actions of their audiences?” he asked on stream yesterday while reading Twitch’s new guidelines. “No, no, no, no. You cannot have both. I can watch what I say; I cannot watch what my community does. Are you fucking serious?”

Wait, you didn’t just climb to the top of the walls and look down and find the good stuff that way?

Two ideas (I might try these myself) for things to do to waste their time:

1. Report the crimes (and then describe the illegal alien) from the Men In Black movies. Be convincing, keep them going right up until you start describing what the perp looks like inside their human disguise.

2. Read off of a script the infamous…

As someone who finally—well over a decade since I’d first played it with a friend—beat SD3... it’s not worth it.

Seriously. The first 1/2-2/3 of the game are pretty great, but the game begins choking on itself as you gain more abilities, and later-in-the-game boss battles just become an unending sequence of…

I am absolutely applauding the death of this vile piece of shit.

Clearly since it’s a certain kind of account they’re doing this with, they should just make PC Bang players only ever play against other PC Bang players.

Bam, problem solved. Korean home users aren’t affected by the cheaters at PC Bangs, and players at PC Bangs can cheat against each other all they want.

THANK YOU. I played the shit out of that game back while you guys were still translating it in (96?)/97/98, on ZSNES when it didn’t even support transparencies and I had to trial-and-error myself through the ship graveyard section early in the game.

It’s because they never were about America, they were about authoritarianism, and America’s military power and interventionism gave them something to cheer for. As America has started to progress socially many of them decided this was no longer the authoritarianism they wanted and have found things to align with that…

Oh god, I actually owned this book back in college during the height of 3E D&D. Once I got it I realized there was no fucking way I was going to use any of that material in any game I ran or played. I bought it because I was a nerdy 20-year-old college student and thought it might be fun.

Bro, do you even lift?

edit: I just looked it up and said Bro is 85 years old. Hmm.

I have been angry with Obama for years for backing down against the Republican senate on numerous occasions instead of just doing what he can (and that there is precedent for) and letting them file lawsuits against it.

Right, what I meant was I could tell the difference in smell between if it would just rain or if there would be lightning. :)

I’m a cis-male, so no pregnancy, but I’ve always been able to do this? I thought it was kinda normal, I grew up in the NW and have always been able to smell whether it would rain or if we’d get a thunderstorm.

Smells like static electricity to me, and tube televisions and CRTs from when I was a kid and those were…
