Hell looks awfully familiar... Something about happiness.

Could be, gotta check if the Slurpee machine gives you 200 health.

Only if it's the BFG9000.

Ding ding ding. What a mindfuck it was.

Something something Tyler Durden... Nah still not right. Plenty of mayhem tho.

He was already on leave following an incident in December, 2023 when he was arrested after crashing his car while possessing 20 unprescribed Xanax pills.

Sounds like he was outright delusional, and it very much feels like these two events are joined at the hip.

It's may be more subtle and perhaps the quality is still there (IDK bc I unsubbed ages ago), but Babish. There was an uproar when he got sponsored by Hogwarts Legacy, and he had no response / apology to supporting JK and her anti-trans viewpoints.

While I still "subscribe" to Humble, I don't recall the last time I actually unpaused a month. Maybe this is the push I needed. Their offerings have been mostly subpar after they bought Humble. Not knocking the indie devs, I think my gaming tastes have changes over the years. Also, I don't need coupons for DLC, please and thank you.

The amount of Roku stuff my PiHole blocks is asinine. I just recently added a blocklist for smart TVs and it ballooned the query counts like mad.

+1 for PiHole. Worth the ~$40 for the Pi Zero W and accessories alone.

There was already an HD remaster released back in 2011... I'm all for crisper graphics, bugfixes and the like, as long as the core gameplay and charm from the beloved original is still there. Still also holding out for BG&E2, but that feels as close to vaporware as it stands.

Also, fuck Ubisoft and their craptastic launcher. Main reason I have strayed from majority of their titles. Maybe it's a little pedantic, but I'm in the "Steam or no DRM" group if I bother with a game.

I've been using Shut Up 10 by O&O Software for ages now. Turns off all recommended telemetry and you can go a step further and disable a ton of stuff, basically anything irksome that M$ pulls.

It's free as well. I haven't noted any negative issues with it. Also works on Win 11

I've dabbled in listening to EDM more frequently, and when I heard Chasing Heaven by him, I ran up to my roommates who proceeded to open that can of worms... never heard of the guy before that, and won't listen to him again. Sick fuck on so many levels. The CP is a new one from what I knew then.

Been pretty happy with my month old Radeon RX 7800XT. 16GB VRAM, holds its own in Starfield and Cyberpunk (ooh the raytracing...), and haven't had any issues with it.

Looks to be around £550 there.

Happiness has to be fought for.

I looked through most the comments and didn't see it, but Gris. Beautiful pastel color palette and a mount story about finding oneself / gaining your voice back. Very existential but in a passive way. I'd like to think of it as a Metroidvania, as you have powers to gain that open up new areas, but there's little to no actual fighting.

If you aren't already aware, check out Tale of Two Wastelands. Merges the Capital Wasteland of FO3 and the Mojave of FNV into one, keeping all the good bits Obsidian introduced with FNV.

It was definitely tough dropping him over something seemingly so miniscule, but it hit a nerve. Being part of the queer community myself, and having many close friends also being such, it just felt right. The salt in the wound was that there was no response at all except for the ones supporting him in this sponsoring.

A quick google for "Babish Hogwarts Legacy" garnered this Reddit post (sorry).

Chevron with Techron

Wu-Tang Dan

Spaghetti Joe

Emma 2: The Awakening

Shamelessly copied from the wonderful Obvious Plant.

While it was extremely limited due to the tech at the time, I truly enjoyed this and SimCopter for the ability to drive/fly around your created cities. Would love to have seen some semblance of physics included. I just recall any cars you drove up/down hills just conformed to the terrain. Was still extremely fun.

You should check out the Brutal Doom add-on for Chex Quest. Just be wary as the Doom modding rabbit hole runs deep.

I'll have the check out the HD version, looks pretty cool so far!

I'm heavily modding Skyrim VR currently and now that .esl support was back ported, I'm hovering around 400 mods. It's joyous, and I'm afraid how much I may break at the same time. Nexus Collections are helping as well. Maybe I'll test MO2 one of these days.

I have never completed or even come close to finishing the game. And I was a day one 11/11/11 purchase lol.

I just switched from Chrome to Brave, and then shortly after from Brave to Vivaldi. Search engine is now Startpage.com, which while slower than Google, it's been bringing up decent results. Unfortunately I still use quite a few Google-centric apps, so hopefully I'm able to discover more options as time goes on.

Just bought way too much stuff over the Steam sale.

  • American Truck Simulator. Finally bought the newest map DLC for it (Texas, Oklahoma), and installed quite a few truck/car/map mods for it. Fun to just... drive. Deliveries can be quite challenging. Also dip into ETS2 ever so often. Road style and architecture is quite a nice change of pace. Play primarily in VR with full lowkey sim-rig.
  • Project Zomboid. Too good and too many mods. Fun to just see how long I can roam around in an RV or Jaap Nomad :P
  • Dying Light. Played the hell out of this pirated last year, finally bought it with all the extra DLC. Worth it.
  • Noita. Got back into watching FuryForged and his insane playthroughs. Can't decide it it's more fun to watch or play.
  • Dead Cells. Haven't dipped my toes into Soulsborne style gaming much, as I rather like a more relaxed "I'm in danger but not always gonna die", but the difficulty here is nice. The art style really drew me in too.
  • Control. Stuck at the Benicoff TV / Salvador battle, but overall really enjoying it. Downside is I'm having to play the pirated version due to 505's screw-up with the "Ultimate Edition" fuckup with Humble.
  • Voidigo. Fun & very colorful roguelite twitch shooter. Animations wonderful and all characters are top notch, weapon variety is vast.

Cyberpunk minus Phantom Liberty, been too long since I've played properly.

Skyrim VR with all the fixins, maxed the esp limit, no esl support 😞

I just recently picked up an Arizer XQ2 and it's amazing, but tried for day to day use. A friend of mine gifted me a KarmaVap (Dynavap M 2020), and it's been my daily driver next to a revisit of my older and solid Xmax Starry v3. Whichever way I go I get done nice returns as ABV, so my next edible may be gummies.

Ever so often I use a water pipe but it's iffy as I'm not a fan of "wasting" bud.

Fantastic, you're hired!

Oh I figured it would be good. I loved HP growing up, well before we knew any of JK's purviews and hatreds. It also does help that majority of the actors involved in the cinematic universe were outspoken against her. It's rather difficult to separate art from the artist at times, but I think I'll probably sail the seas first to test it out, and then determine how best to purchase it without giving her any more cashflow, however meager that is in the grand scheme.

Found a reasonable article of who distanced / defended Joanne's hatred: https://www.pedestrian.tv/entertainment/every-harry-potter-actor-supports-jk-rowling/

I'd hold off playing more then. Juicehead and others have a pretty hefty update on what the future holds for the Phantom Liberty update and revamp of core systems. Sounds like they'll be bringing in a more living world akin to how people were expecting it to operate a la GTA.

You're on the right path with that. Sometimes people with these mindsets just need to be spoken to, and that may (on may not) open their eyes to the ways they may have been inadvertently steeped in, whether that be from upbringing in a hatred filled household / community / etc., or a search for acceptance in those circles. I have someone at my workplace who is an outspoken anti-LGBTQ+, even going as far as plastering their laptop with heavily right wing anecdotes, and wearing very questionable shirts with horrible messages. But I'm here to eventually try and reason with them, and you're absolutely right it'll be an uphill battle, but one worth trying.

I get your perspective, and I think we are both trying to at least meet in the middle with how we are trying to explain our takes. By all means, I truly do think that minority groups should have more support and have the right to be heard and seen than the "societal norm". I guess I was just trying to see both sides and trying to determine a midpoint. The "All Lives Matter" movement easily falls in line with many other conservative spiels, and I'm trying to see the best in people in that what they mean isn't trying to side with the heavier right wing movements. Again, I'm not trying to belittle or minimize the trans rights movement or anything in which minority groups aren't being heard. I guess I just wish we lived in a society where everyone was treated as equal, and any hate groups were quieted to the best of our ability, slowly erasing those archaic viewpoints.

My roommate is heavily holding out her next playthrough until 1.6 drops. Here's hoping Stardew Valley Very Expanded gets updated soon after.

I did the most half-assed version of this for lunch the other day. Leftover half box of Kraft Mac, a can of tuna that was in the fridge, and a little tangy BBQ sauce, I think McD's brand. It was... passable. I think my stomach was okay with it. I'm still alive and not on the toilet.

+1 for Noita. I'm not enough of a masochist to play without the Dead isn't Dead mod. Although lately it's been freezing up on any deaths. Maybe one of these days I'll start playing it as more than a glorified physics sandbox lol.

What a convenient time to share this...

Agreed with Deestan. It's about treating all humans, be them straight, lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer/questioning, asexual, pan, and all elements of the rainbow that aren't covered by the above as equals. We are all part of the human race, Homo sapiens sapiens.

Thank you for the extra layer of clarity. I'm consistently trying to make sure my words aren't being misconstrued, and I'm hoping that's how the other commenter feels, although I'm not going to put words in their mouth. I've faltered many a time in the past, hell even this morning in a discussion with a personal friend. I'm here to hopefully make the world a better place to live in, even if by the smallest choices in words and actions.

Wish I knew, never used it! I only ever used Shut Up 10, as prior to 10, the telemetry wasn't as prominent, or at least seemingly so.

Pretty sure it's the smart TV blocklist from Wally3k / Firebog. I'll confirm and update later if I find out otherwise.
