This kind of feels like one of those weird mythologized Japanese culture posts

Japanese people jaywalk all the time - especially if you’re in a rural residential neighborhood.

Mines magenta because I kept losing it while playing games like PoE

I don’t think I’ve got it in me anymore, guys. I’ve been trying the delve boss for 8 hours and can’t get past floor 6.

The only trim I need is rune (t)

I just CBA to use hex keys. Get an electric screwdriver with a decent hex bit set and it’ll last a lifetime.

To identify bird calls around you the Merlin Bird ID app works well

Propaganda works

I’ve always said that if you really wanted communism or socialism to take off in the states you’re gonna have to call it something else

I also don’t use cis because the machine has already made that a thing people don’t want to be called

I’ve played both of those, and I really enjoyed Talos 2 since it mostly just fed you lore while you were trying to do a puzzle, but don’t ask me what the story was because I couldn’t tell ya.

I didn’t mean I couldn’t connect with the story in just those games, but in games in general. So when I talk about a game, I don’t really put much weight into my thoughts on the story, just the mechanics.

They removed the options to skip battle animations for the newer games. There’s an option that removes cutscenes, but that doesn’t affect anything in battles like the ten minute long terastallizations.

Yeah, my wife and I like going through archives to find shows that didn’t age well, then show those scenes to friends for laughs.

Was watching some 1940s Looney Tunes, and you expect and see racism, which makes it predictable, but every once in a while, they get in a joke or bit that catches everyone by surprise.

Here’s a scene that took place in the middle of a nice episode about National Parks: https://youtu.be/p0wtlI8qF1Ehttps://youtu.be/p0wtlI8qF1E

Yeah that’s the way to go, sadly. Funny enough I was eventually able to enjoy Pokémon through the fan game Pokerogue then a RuneScape rom hack called pokescape

Pokemon - having to watch animations and not being able to speed anything up killed my interest

Skyrim - tried a melee run recently and the combat feels like you’re whacking air

The legend of Zelda - played Tears and the story and puzzles were a bit too kid friendly

Doom - I really tried to like it but I felt like I didn’t get anything out of it. It doesn’t scratch that itch I get out of FromSoft’s Souls games where I want to learn a boss’s patterns and die to it a million times.

In general I don’t think I can do story games anymore

Personally, I’m skipping the Switch 2 because I used my Switch 1 like four times since its launch.

The Switch 2 will likely have games similar to ones that came before it, so if you haven’t been tempted into trying those, you probably won’t be into the new ones.

Like, I’d want the Switch 2 for Mario Kart World but then realized that I played Kart 8 like twice. Online play didn’t scratch the itch, my wife sucked at it, and it was hard to get a group IRL together to play often.

Maybe try emulating some of the older versions of games you’re interested in. It’ll at least give you an idea of how much fun you’d have on the newer versions.

Also ask yourself if you’re a handheld gamer. I don’t think I am which is why I also don’t use my steam deck ever.

Yeah the pill is a great tool but can definitely have its side effects. I know my wife on it had a terribly low libido to the point we joked that’s how it kept you from getting pregnant

If I know someone actively wants a response then I’ll give one because I’m not a dick. From your examples it’s pretty clear you wanted one.

Life’s too short to feel neglected

Depends on the context. I’ll often not reply to my wife if I can’t think of anything or it doesn’t really require a response.

From what you wrote it probably wouldn’t be normal.

My wife will send me photos of like spiders and snakes which is fun but after the tenth photo I’ll probably reply a bit slower

Brother, it’s Harry Potter which is not exactly a thing you can’t live without lmfao

You’re making it sound like they’re asking you to give up breathing

Damn all I found in my walls was mould

Very disappointing

While I’ve the most hours in RuneScape compared to any other game, I’ve also felt the most homophobia in it than any other game (and I’m a straight guy!)

Had to kick two people out of the clan last year just because it broke their brains and they wouldn’t stfu about the Pride event. The event was just a tiny little blip on the map that gave you a Pride flag cape.

seems like magic

Hey dawg, it’s bad practice to use magic vars or nums
