Honestly, if an indie game is promising, I’ll gladly pay full price. Pacific Drive, The Forest, and Inscryption (small sale) were all games that I picked up because of interesting trailers, premises, and very positive reviews :)

I think you probably hit the nail on the head here. I’ve been holding off on MGSV because it’s $20, and I’m waiting for that 50% off sale.

Buuut, that didn’t stop my from buying silksong at full price. Or Factorio. :)

The data appears to be very incomplete for Africa. Hit the play button, then scroll through dates.

Just a heads up, you can also freeze fresh spinach in the freezer for smoothies! It keeps pretty well because it freezes into individual “chips” that don’t stick together unless it thaws. It’s excellent if you’d usually be throwing away spinach that was going to go bad. I recommend buying and freezing a large portion immediately in a freezer bag, just so it doesn’t get mushy in your fridge.

Don’t forget the steep tariffs!

If you carve out a tunnel into the floor and have the entrance down a foot or two, the wind can’t blow directly in, and the cold air will sink to fill the tunnel/entrance with your sleeping platform being quite warm.

GTA. Games 3 and 4 were good, 5 was kinda fun, but I’m not really at all excited for the same formula over and over again. Even battlefield feels a bit samey. Only indie games are really taking risks these days. And some of them are fantastic.

Inscryption, 100%. Such a good game. Tons of post game content, too.

Gaming is a hobby, but just that. A hobby. We like to do other stuff like camping, skiing, hiking, etc.

It may be good to have an open discussion with your gf about doing other things, or a couple’s counselor. The latter might be easier if you are unsure about how to really talk about it.

Someone hopped a nearly 6 foot tall by 4 feet deep construction barrier blocking both ends of an out of service escalator, with multiple pallets or replacement escalator stairs stacked all around it. (The elevator was in service right by the escalator)

Anyways, they predictably fell through the massive hole in the escalator and cut their shins to ribbons on the exposed stairs. They then got to the bottom of the train station platform and were bitching about their legs. Eventually, they hailed a police officer just to bitch and whine further about their gouged shins. The officer had the grace to just listen to the guy and not call him a dumb motherfucker for hopping the multiple tall plastic barriers and signs. I was just shaking my head in amazement until my train came.

They’re lucky that they didn’t fall the 30-45 feet down to the train platform by hopping the construction barrier either.

Wow, things really haven’t changed all that much, haha. Pretty sure you can get essentially that exact same design at outdoor stores.

I love how dad jokes cross cultural lines :)

I still want to play MGSV, but it’s currently not on sale. My guess is because of the latest remaster.

Thanks!

Anyone know if there’s a ublock filter for popups? Firefox mobile is getting swarmed by site popups and it drives me insane.

Some people get turned on seeing topless men but it’s not a sex crime for men to be shirtless in public.

This is the thing that really bothered me. It’s so one-sided. Perhaps people won’t be comfortable doing it, for various reasons, but the legal limitation is what actually irritates me. One silver lining is that a lot of places are starting to allow it, even if culturally, it hasn’t picked up yet.

I knew him after he dressed up in kink gear a decade ago to “own the libs”(?) on some college campus, and his second in command got catastrophically drunk, passed out, and shit her pants like a horse at a college party that same year. I assumed they never recovered from the double bout of extraordinary cringe, but apparently they did?

Apparently I’ve been living under a rock, or the guy was deep underground.

Pacific Drive has amazing music. So good that I started following some of the bands behind it. The Smoky Brights are a new favorite of mine.
