Worst was this girl making an uncomfortable amount of eye contact the whole time. It was like she was trying to start her way into my soul. I’d make eye contact to talk but kept having to look away because she was just too intense. I would not be surprised if she was some sort of succubus or siren trying to drain my life force.

After about an hour she asks if I have autism… I went to the bathroom and called one of my friends to vent. When I returned she asked if there was going to be a second date… There was not.

Don’t get me started on low quality professors/classes. I went back to get my BS after getting an associates a few years prior and the teachers were much worse and the classes were teaching less than I learned at community college. Very infuriating. I did the minimum to pass a class just so I could leave a review ripping into the teacher/class.

So does mine, and we just got hacked. Almost like users make stupid passwords when required to change frequently.

Just never go into a convenience store. Aside from the sparse selection of fruit everything else there is bad for you. Tobacco, energy drinks, shitty snack food, lotto tickets. The only convenience is an early release from your mortal coil.

80s millennial here and same. Getting games to run was so much work back in the 90s that I learned about computers. I think I got my first IT job because I was able to install and setup Word.

Not Foundation, but sounds a bit like it. Galactic empire collapses because no one knows how the technology that powers it works anymore.

I’d like to go around leaving big ass tips. 5 dollar coffee, here’s a 1000 dollar tip.

They all want to be remembered and worshiped for what they accomplished by seeing numbers go up in their bank account.

They are too egotistical to realize they would actually earn respect, adoration and have a legacy if they put their money towards helping the world be a better place. Instead they seem to think having a dick measuring contest via rocketships is a good way to help humanity.

Thats how I interpret it as well.

On my knees, in my ass.

I still have the guide that came with Earthbound. I read that thing through so many times as a kid. I think my parents bought it new on clearance because it didn’t sell and I was having a rough year.

Still remember the night I got it. It was a nice summer night, there was a block party on our street. My parents wanted to stay later than usual but let me go home to play. The adults were only one house over, but it felt like growing up getting to be home alone.

That opening sequence felt like it could have been my life in a different reality. It took a few years for me to finally beat it , but it felt like growing up with the characters in a way.

I feel the guidebook had a lot to do with my memories. It was so cool how it was presented as newspapers from towns along the way and it being a tangible object added to the immersion. Seriously a great gaming experience I can’t ever replicate.

I remember doing that for HoMM3. I brought it with me from home when I stayed with my grandparents for a few weeks one summer. It wouldn’t install on their PC so I just read the manual cover to cover forever.

Fascists gaining power by sexually repressing the population doesn’t sound kooky at all. It’s sounds like reality.

Huh I have that same controller with the 2.4ghz receiver dock and have no issues. I only use it with my htpc running bazzite. I don’t remember if I’ve played crosscode with it but I’ll check it out and report back. Every other game has been great.

Edit: 8bitdo Ultimate 2.4ghz worked just fine with Crosscode for me.

I always wake up when Jurassic Bark comes on and it’s a real bummer. So I don’t watch Futurama going to bed anymore.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia or Seinfeld. I know they are always yelling but it soothes me. I think me visualizing the scenes as I listen helps.

Occasionally I fall asleep reading but I’m usually too interested in what I’m reading to sleep. Same with music it’s either too interesting or too boring.

No necromancy spells require too much glitter. Think of the environmental impact.

An couple of American made guitars. A thinline telecaster and a Taylor 717. I’ve been playing on cheaper guitars for 20 years and finally was in the position to treat myself. While they sound a play a little better it’s not a huge difference, especially after a proper setup. The acoustic was the bigger improvement for sure.

Definitely a luxury purchase but after 4 years of the electric and 2 of the acoustic I still love playing both.

Isn’t it a remake of elite ii? Oolite is more like elite 1

Astalon: Tears of the Earth. Really fun 8-bit roguelite metroidvania where you swap between characters to access different parts of the dungeon.
