Is that another term for “couch co-op” or is that a term used in Civ? I’ve never heard it used this way before, but it makes sense.

Hau and Hop from Pokémon Gen 7 and Gen 8 irrationally piss me off every time I have to deal with them. Hop is better by a lot, but the bar is on the floor.

I miss when rivals were complete assholes to you. Not morons.

Also just the general conversation between JD and Del in Gears of War 4. The characters are fine. It’s just that every single step forward is met with some snarky little quip or joke. Every time. It takes so much of the seriousness away that made the first three games, and Judgment, feel so much more immense.

I’d rather just pay it once and have it.

Like video games. Just let me pay money for the whole game.

Surprised it didn’t happen sooner.

And on that note, I would absolutely download a car.

That’s also the thing. It came out in June. Prices will not go down. Everyone who wanted one already got one.

They helped me get good grades in school from ages 6-16. I also hated how anti-social they made me feel.

Maybe they should come up with something better then. Steam didn’t win the marketplace war by being assholes.

Only thing is he is very aware of this and has since stopped posting content like that, nearly a decade ago, and has removed any of it from his channel, and never talks about it.

He went overboard, seemingly realized his screw up, and stopped with the gun crap. I wouldn’t be following him if he was still posting the gun stuff, but that was even before I found him in 2017.

Unlike a lot of those kind of gun people, he at least seems self aware. Again, this is only since I’ve started watching his content in 2017. No idea how had it was prior to that.

I thought VR would be more widespread by now.

And it’s probably because of the two next things I thought as well.

I thought it would be cheaper and easier to do by now. More like a Google Glass kind of thing. But we’re still playing 4 figures for dedicated massive headsets to strap to our heads. No wonder it didn’t take off.

And I mean dedicated like the HTC Vive. Not the Quest.

I don’t often notice my typos,

But when do, it’s after a day and a ton of interaction with said comment.

And on that note, the Commodore X16 from The 8 Bit Guy is built from the ashes of what would have been a C64 successor, post 128. Documentation available is extensive. Of course, it doesn’t ship with a spiral bound manual, so I guess it doesn’t even apply, but, ya know. It’s a cool little thing to tinker with.

My girlfriend let me take over our whole dining room table with my childhood Lionel trains. Things are good right now.

My girlfriend and I managed to get it to a 3 week rotation. Turns out living in a city is exhausting, so we try to go out as little as possible.

Whereas my mom will go out every day to buy groceries to make dinner that night. That may be the difference between being bored and retired and being, whatever tf I am.

Yep, that’s also one of the reasons I came here. This feels like old reddit. I like the plethora of apps that are fully customizable, also like the old days of reddit. It really was a great time until it wasn’t. This community is much more open. Transparency here is a wonderful thing, something that reddit lost a long time ago.

I can help you spoof the API and get your favorite third party app going again, if you really want. I was using RIF up until a few weeks ago. Still works too, I just got banned and decided it wasn’t worth it to start over.

Well, I guess to be completely honest with you guys

I got banned from reddit after 13+ years and over half a million comment karma. Same username if you want to go take a trip.

There was a post in the game collecting sub and the guy, a European, had a MAGA hat in the background. People were going back and forth, as they do. One guy then says that a European having a MAGA hat as a novelty souvenir is fine. To which I responded, Nazis only belong 6 feet under. I was slightly worried that a simpleton may interpret it as a threat, but I figured there’s no way someone with common sense and critical thinking skills would think that.

Well, of course this one hit a little close to home to the admins, big surprise, and I was permanently banned. 13 years and 500,000 points later, I get banned for saying nazis deserve to be dead.

Honestly, I’m not surprised given how the site was going. Posts being removed, comments being deleted. That used to happen back in the day but never to the degree that it is happening now.

My only chuckle on the way out is knowing I modified the reddit API to use third party apps long after they were shut down.

I do wish this place was a bit more active, but it’s still pretty good. It’s not like I don’t have alts on reddit anyway. My only regret was not selling my account for a ton of money before it got banned. Oh well lol

Oh yeah, watching my girlfriend play her Switch 1 now is agonizing. Her birthday is coming up and I think I know exactly what I’m going to be getting for her.

Games like Zelda now load so fast you can’t even see your stats on the loading screen. And ya know, that’s an okay problem to have.

Environmental consulting. It’s a lot of office work, but there is still field work that can fall outside of the normal hours, but usually not by much.

I wonder if it’s because they had 10 million ready to go in June for launch so most people who wanted one got one then. Especially because it’ll never go down in price, why wait until the holidays unless you have kids?

I love mine. The FPS boost alone in Zelda and Pokémon made it worth it for me. Cheaper than the GPU I want for my computer too. Then again, I went all in on the Switch in 2017 after skipping the Wii U, so more performance is fine with me. I do wish there was more stuff announced, though.
