It’s inevitable. You can’t make progress without several steps back.

Yall gonna hate me,

But teams planner planner is super neat since you can use buckets. And others can use it too.

I honestly don’t hate teams. It’s pretty neat once you get mildly used to it!

Honestly I’m as agoraphobic as they come so, since I hardly ever leave my residence, I find it quite easy to forget that it’s an election year, aside from many of the news outlets and media posts dictating it. My life outside of the internet has hardly any political interference.

Yes I still vote, but I keep my political beliefs to myself, but As Marcus Aurelius said, “You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can’t control”

I take a lot of solace in that. I know certain things and have certain opinions but I am absolutely not a politician and it’s not something I’ll wreck my soul over. Life is short enough as it is.

Satisfactory grind!

Just unlocked trains and have no idea how the signaling works. It’s a struggle.

I walked the land telling whores and liars of the End to come. There are 9,855 days remaining.

Brushing my teeth.

Recently had a root canal and a massive wakeup call of fragile teeth.

It’s been a hard habit to stick with but the wife keeps me accountable.

Idk. The aspartame in zero products is so bitter that it’s not even comparable.

Kerbal Space Program 2.

Yeah it’s looking really bleak over there…

Drill dozer is a fun one that i don’t see get a ton of love.

There’s an overarching story iirc but it’s not terribly intense or anything.

If you like adventure, then the oracle zelda games are fun. Definitely pushing that 30 minute boundary on this one, though. There’s also a bit of dialogue between dungeons, but otherwise, Seasons is definitely more wanderable since there’s not as many direct puzzles.

I remember having Joust on the Gameboy color or advance when I was younger. Always good fun to ride some birds into battle.

BLUF: Agreed. Games don’t need realism to be fun. They need fun to be fun.

Aside from obvious genres like simulators, horror, or other niche games, graphics don’t, and shouldn’t be, the main focus of a game.

It could just be plain fun. I’d prefer games with a bunch of sandbox niche mechanics than seeing a tree in 4k upscale. Like Noita or Terraria.

Or a deep story. The original Talos Principle was alright on its graphics at the time, but it prioritized the story and puzzles. It was a fundamental game that shaped many of the philosophies I hold still today.

Graphics can be important, but I’d also prefer stylized over realistic any day. That’s why some of the older games still hold up today, graphically.

Wind Waker, the old 3d mario games, Bioshock, Oblivion (terrain, not people lol)

All had really really solid art. And it still looks good. Because it didn’t try to push the limits on making the game look real.

Back when Modern Warfare 2 released on the 360, I saw little dust clouds, and thought that it was the greatest game for realism ever at the time. The graphics were so good. Going back? Dogwater.

Reminds me of the Wigglers from Super Mario Sunshine

Chickens have a cloaca, silly.

Average gaijin employee

Two separate and very distinct oof moments in that book.

Foxhole. War 115.

Just wish I had a good team to play with.

Autism is better than every ism.

That was such a clear, concise, mostly unbiased statement for a heavily political statement. Bravo.

Cesspits were cleaned out by tradesmen known in the UK as gongfermors using shovels and horse-drawn wagons. Cesspools were cleaned only at night, to reduce the smell and annoyance to the public. The typical cesspit was cleaned out once every 8 to 10 years.

I only really need it to manage my travel, which I could do elsewhere I suppose. Flights and Ubers. I guess I could call a taxi instead though, so really just flights.

I use it to call the old lady when I’m away, but, again, isn’t a necessary thing.

Managing my expenses are really a big thing I do, because who doesn’t do online banking these days.

But if I had to, pencil and paper would work, as annoying as it is.

So yeah. Really just flights.
