  • I don’t find myself “engaged,” I find myself wanting to spend money for something that will bore me the next week.

    There is a reason I’ve mostly played single player games for the past decade.

    I was tired of the “seasons” and micro transactions when I just wanted a story. If the story was good, I’d be ok with purchasing an expansion upon it. I remember my first expansion pack, Warcraft 2, played over a phone line. It felt worth it.

    For more modern games, The Witcher 3 DLC felt like proper expansion packs. I have no bad feelings about those.

    But just adding a few cosmetic items? Fuck off.







  • I mean, if I’m dating a girl (I’m married now, and not looking to change that) I’d be curious about her pussy resume.

    More so to know if they carry any sort of VD. Mutual STD testing should be more common, in my mind. Doesn’t help for drunk hook-ups, but if you’re looking to get into a real relationship, I feel it should be more normalized.

    People don’t get tested enough, I’ve been safe, but I should have been in a mutual testing situation in the past. Nothing happened to my dick, but this girl got around - I found out later. Wouldn’t have minded as much if I knew she had a clean bill of health, but that was never ascertained.

    To people worrying, I got a vasectomy at 24. The incision site and the rest of my genitals got infected. They tested for STDs first (I was clean) and it was just was a general wound infection that took antibiotics. But the fear, man, the fear.


  • We live in troubled times, the planet is overheating at a rate that it might affect my life more than being more uncomfortable in the summer. And that’s Texas summers at that.

    There is an island of plastic refuse in the ocean bigger than some countries.

    I saw the home computer come to the living room and the internet be birthed.

    If you were to ask if I was jaded as a kid, already? Yeah. Around 7 years old.

    It isn’t getting better. Corporations claw for more and more at the expense of the people and the planet.

    I hope the younger generations can lead the charge of change, but for me… I don’t have the time or energy to play games most days, let alone change the planet.

    And for those who will say, “Aren’t you just part of the problem then?” Sadly yes, I am. I try to make changes when I can, but I fear changing the small environment of my home will not be enough.




  • I don’t like Biden, but I don’t think he is a threat to the American way of life. Ineffectual? Absolutely. On the wrong side of history? So is most of our history, join the club. We do, as a nation, need to do better.

    But I do, wholeheartedly believe that if Trump is elected, we will fall from a failed democracy, to fascism; and fascism always fails. Usually in a very violent manner for most concerned.

    Now I’m thinking of some wide spread agent like pollen being laced with naturally occurring psychedelics.

    I mean, pollen, as an allergen is often taken in through the nose, which is a great route of administration to affect the brain quickly.

    Oh the rag weed count is high? Get ready to trip balls people, lol.




  • I will cheat in single player games. I give it a solid “first time” unmodded play through. If it’s good, I’ll do other “paths” or “builds” depending on the game.

    Then make it a little more… interesting, or different even.

    Then you work up to Total Conversions, and thats fucking great for longevity.

    Then at a certain point, its quality of life. I don’t want to spend 20 hours getting to the “interesting” part of the game. I can no longer get even just an hour to dive into a game uninterrupted. I love immersion; in the past it was an unhealthy escape mechanism, now when I get it, its a breath of not dealing with my day to day shit for just a little bit. Life always gets in the way of living, at least the way we want or need to in the moment. But I digress…

    But cheating in a multiplayer game really defeats the purpose of multiplayer. An unbalanced play field isn’t fun for anyone.

    I’d like to see more games embrace a modding community. If you and a few friends want to play with mods A, B, D, and F, more power to you guys. Keep enjoying that game.

    Just don’t force an imbalance on other people.
