Muffy

@Burnvolver also 20 years ago, "cut content" and the current day equivalent of DLC was repackaged into a thing called an "expansion pack", which also would not release broken and unplayable.

@Burnvolver 20 years ago a game couldn't be released in a broken and unplayable mess because it would cost millions to repossesses all currently shipped physical copies of a game to restock retailers with updated copies. this happens regularly now because "it can just be patched."

"Games used to launch finished" is one of the biggest lies old gamers tell themselves.

@ablata_at_alba tactical espionage action

the "SAT words" post made me realize that there really isn't any common, normal term for "dexterous trickery performed by a thief or magician" ledgerdemain, prestidigitation, and sleight-of-hand are all a bit odd

@Jaddlemech @agnosticnixie I picked up on this eventually, but I wasn't specifically aware it was possible to non-lethal Jotaro. I didn't even progress into The Heist until I did as many gigs and side content as possible, so the game was still very new to me at the time.

@TheFloppestra @agnosticnixie From what I understand, every gig that has you kill someone, you can knock them out and have them taken away

Gamer discovers misogyny for the first time

@agnosticnixie Honestly I didn't even know this was an option. I have around 100 hours in the game and I'm still barely into Act 2. By the time I reached Woodman I didn't even know who Jotaro was, to me he was just some gonk I flatlined with a ricochet in slow motion.

(I'm doing a mostly non-lethal run so there's a bunch of NPCs where not killing them is about as fun; Jotaro Shobo and his accomplices just get sent gift-wrapped to the Mox)

So a friend of mine got hacked through a fake Minecraft modpack on CurseForge called "Better Survival Mods" by an author named "kwwn". I spent the day tracing it back and here is what I found. The modpack zip had a fake Fabric mod hidden in the overrides folder called...

C.S. Lewis’ incredible observation on friendship

you don't understand how often i think about this

@IM_YARA4 I know a Mossad psyop when I see one.

For 12 years, I was married to a conventionally “nice guy.” He never hit me. Never cheated (or at least I didn’t know and we never had infidelity issues), he never even argued much. He was calm. Quiet. Agreeable. In the beginning I thought that meant I was safe, and I felt lucky to have him. Because other women had worse right? But this is exactly why the marriage eventually failed…His “good guy” image meant he never led. He never decided. He never carried weight. So I did. I had to step in and keep the boat rowing and afloat. Financially. Emotionally. Strategically. And eventually I was left tired, exhausted and resentful. Because “nice” without initiative is passivity. And passivity turns a wife into infrastructure. I wasn’t married to a monster. I was married to a passenger. And I had to step off that car that was leading me to oblivion.

Gaben please I'm begging you

@leodddd @bayesed_ @rkitchencels Yes, you are quite dense.

@TheFloppestra @bayesed_ @rkitchencels Me when I can't convince anyone of anything because I'm dense

@RSC_again committing valuable resources on fictitious depictions of CSAM wastes everyone's time and does not protect real children from actual danger, if anything it actively harms them as investigators waste their time with nonsense like "2d drawing bad" reports.

Lolicons are funny bc for something that’s supposedly moral and fine they get so extremely offended and defensive when you tell them jerking off to drawings of kids is weird

@boysaremoe I prefer using controller over kb+m most of the time but it really depends on the game. I liked the first steam controller a ton due to how customizable it was. Also made for a great media center controller for a TV-connected computer.

@leodddd @bayesed_ @rkitchencels You're kinda dumb so I'm going to stop talking to you.

@TheFloppestra @bayesed_ @rkitchencels "You think it's not okay to cut off little kid's arms? So it's also wrong to cut off the mushy part of an apple?" What you sound like rn

@leodddd @bayesed_ @rkitchencels One and the same, they are.

@TheFloppestra @bayesed_ @rkitchencels Also not at all a comparable situation.

@leodddd @bayesed_ @rkitchencels So, if you feel the desire to send someone a letter, you simply shouldn't because they might not like it? Complete and utter nonsense. We are allowed to be ourselves. No wonder normies have awful interpersonal relationships with others.

@TheFloppestra @bayesed_ @rkitchencels That might be your autism flaring up, then. It really is not even close to the same.

@barcodebrownies @iri_daifuku They don't, not at all. I used to live like that and it was miserable. Funnily enough, dressing and doing my hair the way I want has exposed me to far more social interactions than when I thought I "had" to do certain things to be "accepted."

@TheFloppestra @iri_daifuku extremely based fashion sense, thank u for sharing this. i hope OP sees this and is able to free their mind. it hurts thinking about how some people cause others to limit and minimize themselves. no one deserves to live in that mental prison

i really hate that i didnt know that i was a person until i was in my mid 20s so i never got a chance to wear fun clothes and i lack the hubris to put myself in clothes meant for teenagers.

@leodddd @bayesed_ @rkitchencels They are exactly the same thing.

@TheFloppestra @bayesed_ @rkitchencels Not even in the same ballpark of interactions.
