There are older models you can get that work that way. They’re just less convenient in that you have to clean them out yourself. I had one for a long time, but I wanted one that is self-emptying.

Hello friend.

This seems like a good time to inform you that you have the option to communicate in such a way that you don’t make yourself look like an asshole.

Yeah, mine has it. I have to go into the app once a week and manually delete it.

I am really, really glad I replaced my PC’s a year ago.

This is insane. I’m kinda sorta rooting for the crash now. These unregulated billionaires are ruining all the things.

Exactly.

Yeah.

Normally this time of year my college team, pro team, or fantasy team are doing well so football is enjoyable.

But not this year, so I felt a bit listless.

It’s just fan speculation at this point, but yeah. I’ll be thinking about it before I buy, if I do.

Yeah, feels like an overreaction to me, especially given the economic upheaval affecting the world since 2018.

Devs gotta eat and the game is not only good but fairly priced already.

Apparently in 2018 the devs stated publicly they’d never add paid content to the game. At least that’s what the fans state. I dunno.

I bought it a year ago, played it for ten hours. It’s a fun little game.

I don’t buy a lot of the big company games anyway, but if this becomes commonplace, what’ll happen is I’ll buy my big-company games second-hand so the benefit to the perpetrators is lessened.

I heard the new Game of Thrones game is using LLM’s to generate some of its content. Pisses me off.

Yup, that time of year when I have to turn on my theater-kid mode and pretend I enjoy all the work-related stuff I have to show up to and “enjoy” or it could literally hurt my career.

Thanksgiving with family is the worst, for many reasons.

Just let me be alone with my dogs, eating and drinking whatever I want in my quiet, clean house. Now that’s a holiday.

Yeah, the games I’ve spent very little on I’ve put a ton of time into, like Vampire Survivors, Noita, and Dungeon Defenders.

Oh definitely. I’ve enjoyed the experience of helping devs mold a title into something better in exchange for a lower price.

That’s fine. I don’t agree with you.

My rule is I’m only willing to pay a dollar for every expected hour of play, so you can imagine I buy few things at full price.

The last two games I paid full price for were Elden Ring and Mandragora. I am far more likely to pay full price for an indie title that I’m excited about than anything else, because as an artist myself, I fully understand the impact of a pre-purchase on an indie studio.

I work in legal tech.

Can confirm. We’re weird, and you don’t want to piss off accounting.

I’ve seen a bunch.

Had my phone wish me a happy birthday on the wrong day. I had a whole folder of emails inexplicably moved back into my inbox, and yes, various wacky hardware problems.

It’s clear that a bunch of the people they laid off were QA people.

IT has been an interesting ride the last two months, encountering some of the weirdest bugs I’ve ever seen, after two decades of Windows working just fine for the most part.
