I only recently started playing again specifically because I found out that all the missions in online mode that required you to be in a public lobby are now able to be ran in a private lobby. Playing in a solo lobby is basically like getting more SP story (there are story missions in GTAO; it’s not all races and DM). Don’t have to deal with cheaters or asshats.

US. Fluent in English but I can speak enough spanish to do most everyday things. I am learning Japanese, and while I can read and understand about half of it, I can’t pronounce shit and haven’t bothered practicing since I just want to read it.

IIRC, they originally made Fallout because they couldn’t use the Wasteland IP. Which is hilarious.

Not necessarily. What if you’re really good at Photoshop?

I want this cross over to exist. 😬

That wasn’t Michele in The Avengers? I had to look up Tessa just to compare and yeah; they look almost identical.

Similarly, when Zombieland first came out, I thought Jessie was Micheal Cera. They look similar enough and basically are both cast as the shy, nerdy kid.

Easy solution: Make NV2, but call it something else. Like “Wasteland: Viva Las Vegas 3D.”

I haven’t had any friends that are actually in my life since 2009.

Of course. It’s EA we’re talking about.

These are the same assholes that when they bought Bioware, they shut down bioware’s own official website where you were encouraged to store your game keys (for NWN, Jade Empire, SOTOR, etc) without informing any of its users that it was closing, and that your keys were going to be deleted, and then when you complained about it they just told you to buy the games again.

Back in the day, every single video game used to have a little note on the box, in the manual or even on screen when starting it up that you should stop playing every 15 to 20 minutes to walk around and look at something other than a screen.

Haven’t seen that warning in multiple decades now. And I doubt it was ever shown on office software.

For a single file, I just use Bluetooth. For a lot of files, or a really big file, I plug my phone into the PC and set it to storage device.

Momentum. The reason you don’t fly the fuck off to who knows where when you jump, is because you’re also moving at the same speed the Earth is.

How do you mod a PS4 game?

Or your company after the whole alphabet.

12 to 14 hours, or so. That’s how I found out about hypoglycemia. Played paintball all day, started feeling sick and was throwing up and passing out walking home, someone called an ambulance and after they checked me out they said I just needed to eat. 🤣

I signed up for Twitter in 2006 to see what it was all about before it was super popular. Thought it was stupid then just because of the character limit, and haven’t touched it since.

Guess I’m a dunce because of shit that started happening a whole decade later. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Brink was cool, if a bit flawed. It could have become better if they had given it more of a chance.

Shattered Horizon was awesome at first, but eventually the game changed entirely and at some point an update just broke the game for hella people (myself included) so we couldn’t even play on a local server with bots and it was never fixed. :/

Loosely: Games that make you feel cozy.

Does not necessarily challenge the player, might not even set goals. Has a certain aesthetic that is not drab or dreary.

Stardew Valley is considered to be a cozy game, as an example.

I got some cheap shit in a bundle that actually meets the spec requirements I wanted and they are sturdy as fuck too. They don’t have a brand name on them, and came without any packaging. They’ve been better than any other USB-C cables I’ve ever owned. I wish I knew who made them so I could get more if I ever needed. 😮‍💨
