I wish I wasn’t tired to the point that my brain subconscious puts up blocks after seeing “meta” and some made up word like “momfluencers”. I’m just so tired if the loop of “company that did weird and evil shit attempts to change image by doing weird unethical shit”. That’s enough internet for today, I’m gonna go tend to my potatoes

The irony of this being on wired, that hides everything besides the headline and first paragraph behind a paywall.

ok

is this problem limited to people who act like that in the South, or people in general who act like that? In other words, if someone was from Oregon or Colorado and was mentally ill and pro-criminal, would you feel the same toward them?

That’s really interesting and I think you’re right. I like your term, “visual vocabulary”. Rad reply

I don’t really know what to make of that but congratulations or that sucks I guess

that’s crazy, I didn’t know over 100,000,000 people who lived in a bioregion are mentally ill and also advocate for a criminal, damn. Or am I missing the point you were trying to make?

There is a lot of authoritative speculation in the comments on this one

what does it explain

I don’t know of any other games that fit the niche (I’ve looked as well) that are also good (there’s a mobile game called Exiled Kingdoms that’s pretty good, but it’s a mobile game).

I have found some other games scratch the itch pretty well though. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla actually does for me, even though you’re locked into one character with like 10 unique choices that determine a few different cutscenes. Maybe for me it’s because the world is pretty, the story is (mostly) interesting, it’s close enough to historical accuracy without belaboring the point (like kingdom come), and the way the story is played is kind of in line with what I’d be doing anyway.

But, I do feel your pain and wish we could have a different type of Elder Scrolls that wasn’t just mods.

It’s wild, like people get into things when there is novelty and affordability and then leave when one of those goes away.

My biggest question now is, what will supplant PC building/other super high end stuff? I grew up on Halo and early CoDs, but now that I’m old and suck at video games (particularly online multiplayer), and seeing a huge shift toward battle royale and dark souls style gameplay, I felt like I was long overdue to start reading more/working out more/hiking/etc.

Tbh the statistics are pretty great for nuclear.

Didn’t one of the Clintons do just that, too?
