I upvote the same way like I used to on Reddit, but I have no idea what the hell my karma is
I don’t even think it matters but it’s nice to see a post with like 800 upvotes
We’ve been bamboozled and conditioned
Sorry, here’s your dopamine 🔼

I loved casting clay or Earth golem as a melee warrior
Nothing like beating the shit out of demons with the paving stones tanking hits
I’m a dragon, I fell into lava and panicked, only to find out it was somewhat pleasant
I then unceremoniously got out of said lava and accidentally whipped molten rock at a team mate
The guy carrying tanks of napalm smoking a cigarette always gets to me 😁
I love seeding Wikipedia but it seems like nobody ever needs me to, there’s always like 800 seeders and only 2-3 clients at most, who never connect.

Maybe these are his signs

KDE Plasma is genuinely good
Kubuntu is a drop-in replacement for Windows 10
Probably something like ‘absolute narcissism’ / ‘absolute solipsism’.
E.g: The other doesn’t exist, other human beings are trees or whatever
It’s difficult to find, Project Rene is over two years old now, this is some early test demo footage:
Project Rene or whatever the hell Sims 5 was supposed to be was suffering from significant takeoff, vision, conceptual and design issues.
Every day, five or six designers would argue about if a feature was inclusive enough, a gesture was offensive, a Simlish term or phrase was close enough to a real life slur.
What they learned was that reality is actually quite cruel and biased and creating their perfect garden hedge-maze of a game removed the essence and life out of it. Sims 5 did not reflect the reality that players actually experienced or had day-to-day, and it was entirely the designer’s fault.
They had created the very thing they despised, a cookie-cutter digital suburbian barbie doll house. With multiplayer, ripe for trolling.
So yeah, I’m not surprised Sims 5 was cancelled.

Ergonomic chairs, high end sports cars, and staying active has kept my back in great shape.

Before piracy there were demos and shareware, which let you see if your machine could handle the game or content and give you a vertical slice, and let you show it to friends for word of mouth advertising.
Then, Steam put a two hour refund window with no questions asked, which helped a lot of “this crashes on start, I can’t open this at all on a RTX 4090/high end PC, 15 FPS in the fog, etc”.
Developers learned from that and they began padding/gating content behind two hours of gameplay, so you wouldn’t know until 3-4 hours in that the game was grindy dogshit (SCUM, Ark, Empyrion, and countless other Early Access and sometimes full release titles like NMS on launch day for example).
So the correct thing to do, and it’s what I do: Pirate the game, make sure it runs/works and is fun and there’s no “gotcha” traps or hidden DLCs or other predatory mechanics involved, and THEN pay for the full title on Steam+DLCs and just continue the save.
My Steam Account has actually already been flagged over a dozen times for this because my primary savegames are like Razor1911.sav, and so far it’s still in good status because I am actually spending a couple thousand/year on content.
There was another thread where they linked the fact that more than half of Americans read below an 8th grade level.
I was sharing this article with some Trump-voting high school “friends” (to see if they regret their votes yet or are swept up in the pan-psychic fascist religion), and I had to clip only the part including the woman “going to high school” (their own lived experience) and then being deported. I had to seriously think about how to dumb down “woman applies for citizenship and gets deported”.
Some people truly don’t experience life past their own nose, and so using small words and simple concepts is the only way.
But yeah the leopard ate their face
I have been told by my elf lawyer/party wizard that I’m not legally obligated to answer this question
