Don’t they already have this? What is the Steam Deck, if not a rival to the PS5 and the Xbox ala the Switch? Shouldn’t the focus go into optimizing that space, as opposed to trying again at the home console market?

Your boyfriend is right. Unless one of you has an in-demand technical degree or a lot of money, immigration to Western countries is going to be out of reach. That leaves you with weakened economies which are either already authoritarian, or trending authoritarian. Even if you could get to a place like Europe, far-right parties emboldened by their new U.S. support are rising in popularity and receiving centrist support in places like France and Germany.

There is no green field to relax in while the rest of the world collapses. You’ll have to fight to prevent the slide to fascism wherever you go.

It’s really bad. I still check-in on my niche subreddits from time to time, but most of them are down to 1 or 2 mods. They’ve also changed the default sorting from Hot to Best, which mostly seems like a way to cover-up the fewer original posts and discussions going up. The whole site is a shell of its former self.

Hey wow, look what happens when we don’t buy their games and loudly organize to tell others not to buy their games over this bullshit!

There’s still nothing Sony puts out that I really think is all that good, but hopefully this serves as another message to the industry to stop with this dumb bullshit. Funny how Sony has been getting a lot of those kinda messages recently.

Necessary but evil. My workplace had a million headaches implementing an email-based 2fa system. So many automatic services blocking our emails, so many people who are tech illiterate who cannot understand 2fa, and all of their calls got sent to me and my team despite none of us having technical support experience. However, it has massively increased the security of our site, while allowing us to finally implement a way for people to unlock their own accounts if they do have too many unsuccessful login attempts. The juice is worth the squeeze.

Pretty sure all the hype was by potter-heads. I don’t know anyone who enjoyed playing the game who wasn’t also a die-hard fan of Harry Potter.

Hey bud? Octupi are developed enough to maintain neighborhood communities, and they managed to avoid inventing money, taxes, and HoAs. They’re also not actively destroying the planet.

Let’s not pretend like anything we are doing has an inherent good to it. Animal societies looking different to ours doesn’t make them inferior to ours. What humanity has wrought is nothing to brag about.

Do. Not. Buy. Sony. Games.

I dunno how many times we have to keep hammerin this one in. If you absolutely must play their latest vapid, designed-by-committee bullshit, at least pirate it.

If the Democrats aren’t going to be useful, I’m glad they’ve at least decided to be a little funny.

Yeah absolutely, really itching to just bash the first smarmy fascist I see.

In minecraft, y’know?

There was some action across the country, one of which even ended up with a border office getting killed. Honestly, I think the extreme Chicago cold kept them at bay. To my understanding, these raids are being done on a voluntary basis by the agents, there’s no order forcibly deploying them. For all the shit-talk the yokels in Alabama and Georgia can muster, I don’t think any of them wanted to deal with windchills of -20f.

I see we’ve hit the “it wasn’t that big a deal” part of the Narcissist’s Prayer.

Actually super agree, and surprised people aren’t as on board with this.

Why the fuck should anyone have to do Ogrila dailies in 2025 if they just want a cool item for transmog? What is the point of currencies that trade for other currencies? Does anyone really need to make going back through Warlords of Draenor any worse?

Blizz already has converted old currencies to gold in the past. Would it really hurt the old and forgotten content of Retail if it was made more accessible to new players?

10 minutes is pretty good! tbh, I’ve never known a man to last more than 5 in my mouth. Most of the fun parts of sex happen with no insertion, it’s the foreplay that goes on beforehand that I really like. I’ve also found that it can be fun to swap from insertion back to cuddling/necking, to give the top a little break and make them last a bit longer.

Doing all of the above, it’s possible for sex with me to take about 30 minutes to an hour, even though I’m in control to finish him off quickly whenever I want.

No, no, and no.

I was born into a dying world. Before I was old enough to have a say, my elders sold our planet to corporations. Now, fascism is rising across the globe, global temperatures are reaching critical levels, and we’re circling the drain of late-stage capitalism. To introduce new life to this world would be a mistake. I would never damn anyone else to my fate.

I’ve had to break off het relationships over not wanting to children, but I’ve never regretted it. If anything, each new horror that happens reinforces my vow.

Ooh, this seems like an excellent guess.

The kinda people joining Rednote right now are not the same kinda people who know alot about geopolitics, or honestly anything beyond their personal bubble. Yeah, they’re just gonna keep pretending Europe doesn’t exist.

Good! Wonder what trend the brain-dead CEOs are going to chase after now. Cozy games?

I think the issue is that most game’s core gameplay loops are not endlessly replayable. Lots of single player RPGs fall into the trap of being alright to progress through for maybe 20 hours, but you can quickly become so powerful that the rest of the game falls into busywork. It’s really hard to meaningfully introduce new and interesting gameplay after the 30 hour mark, but without it things become same-y.

I’d argue this is just a fault of poor game design though. There are RPGs with really well iterated gameplay loops, with a wide array of variety, that I’m happy to put 400+ hours in. Games like Baldur’s Gate 3, or Elden Ring, have a lot of freedom and variety in the way you can approach a playthrough, even allowing you to dramatically change things mid-playthrough, while still feeling mechanically satisfying to play. A 10/10 game will feel good to play forever, but a 7/10 might get boring after 15.

Yeah it kicks ass. This is like making a story out of Skyrim or Baldur’s Gate 3 or even Witcher 3 continuing to have players. People like playing really good single player RPGs. There aren’t that many of them.
