I wonder if different screen technology at the time made it worse (CRT then, vs LCD now)?
Oof, I feel that on 2... I haven't been able to actually play a game in weeks. I just feel guilty that I should be doing something productive instead and I can't enjoy it.
Bethesda makes games still?
A potential future without "Texas" on my birth certificate sure is enticing though
English is a bastard language and it deserves to be known as such
No.
Existence had grown exponentially more expensive in my lifetime, well outpacing what a 401k or pension will realistically ever be able to achieve. At best, it might buy me 5-10 years after I am physically unable to work; if I mentally decline too soon due to age (quite likely in my family), I will die in poverty.
That isn't even touching on the possibility of a habitable climate or war, and assumes the survival of the current economic system.
Lockdown Protocol looks fun from what I've seen of it. Social deduction game, first person with knives and guns (with limited ammo)
Goose Goose Duck (Amogus but better, all roles are unique)
Try Linux in a VM (virtual machine) for a while.
- Low hassle compared to dual booting,
- no risk of Microsoft randomly doing something to windows that breaks your Linux install.
- low/No system downtime if you decide you don't like one distro or another and want to switch,
- no loss of game data for your son (I've lost so many saves because of games putting them in nonsensical places in windows; why is appdata still the default for minecraft saves!?)
It would be hilarious if they were so incompetent that they forget to not fuck with the Military Industrial Complex.
I'd like to see Bernie try to spin up a third party; not for himself to run for office, but just to divorce from the DNC and give leftist politicians a fighting chance using his name/approval.
Free fertilizer for a happy little tree.
Even more so than Biden, he's got a gut and constantly leans forward.
- Get a passport ASAP (listing it separate from state documents/ID as to most in the US that just means drivers license)
I'm relieved alcohol just doesn't appeal to me (for the exact same reasons you list); but fuck i wish it did. Same for stimulants. Painkillers do fuck-all; decent amount of red hair in my beard leads me to believe I hit that genetic lottery, it takes a shitload of anesthetic to numb any part of me
All I've got for escapism is anime and reading, and i'm desperately trying to be productive right now instead of falling into a months long content binge.
Food and cooking usually makes me happy, but I can't keep doing that because I'm already fat and have an extensive family history of diabetes and heart issues. Food is just going to get more and more expensive as well.
I just want to be fucking happy and apparently that's too much of an ask these days.
Weird opinion of mine; of the major varieties of porn, furry porn is significantly less objectionable.
- Live Action: major sex trafficking issues, "revenge porn"
- Hentai: its drawn and actual people arent harmed, but what the actual fuck is with Japans r@pe and child fetishes?!
- Furry porn: it's drawn; you get some of the same awful stuff as hentai but it's heavily frowned upon by the community and much easier to filter out.
