  • 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.




  • Not to mention, it is entirely possible to get home from work, play, and then realize you are now late for work.

    Its just engaging on a level that most modern game’s can’t hope to achieve.

    Hell, I’ve installed a game (old), then installed mods, then resolved all the mod issues, then launch it to realize I don’t actually want to play it.

    Factorio? Mods are easy, and vanilla is enough to keep someone occupied and happy if they lack internet or something.

    Its light weight too, it costs me virtually nothing to install it on anything that can run it.






  • Step one: Buy a few firearms, for different scenarios (which should be easier under Trump sigh)

    Step two: Go to work, home, and limit unnecessary errands, order for delivery more.

    Step three: Practice marksmanship with various firearms. I have a country, but sane, friend of the family with a shooting range on her land.

    Step four: Hunker down in my deep red state, because I hold non-christian belief’s and I won’t recant them on pain of death. Not because my beliefs “protect” me, but because as an American, I believe in freedom of religion and I’ll die a proud American before I die as a Christian, my belief’s don’t matter compared to that. The protection of those belief’s does.
