  • Hah, no it isn’t. They want it to be, but it’ll only be clueless poors that use it, and then the price will creep up super quickly and it’ll be full of ads and everything is a subscription and your favorite games will just randomly disappear and you won’t be able to do a damn thing about it and suddenly you’ll go “shit, I should have just bought a computer.”

    If you trust streaming gaming to be handled responsibly then you should really ask yourself why these companies want so badly for you to not only not own your games but also not even own your hardware, and why you even entertain the notion that the companies offering it will behave any better when they have total control over your entire gaming ecosystem.











  • Ultima VIII was both so cool and so annoying, I could never stick with it to get super deep into the game, but I do have a fond memory of wandering into the Tempest’s bedroom and pissing her off, then casting stone skin on myself so her lightning strikes couldn’t hurt me, and then she eventually gave up and summoned a huge horny demon who kept chasing me all over the game world until I got cornered and ran out of stone skin reagents and then it killed me. Good times.




  • I understand cats deeply, and some are just assholes and I love those ones, too. One of my cats is a jerk who only loves me and regularly bites other people who try to pet him more than a couple times, or who walk by him without announcing their presence or holding their hand out so he can sniff it and grant passage, most notably my wife. He has been immensely patient with my young child in a way he is with nobody else.

    I think OP understands cats quite well. This is totally wholesome and relatable to people who actually love cats enough to adopt and appreciate even the surly ones. They have a very wide range of temperaments, much like people, many of whom are assholes. When I adopted my little asshole, his foster name was the same as a mob boss because “He is the boss, he makes the rules. Also he’s a bit bitey” and I was like, “hell yeah, give me that little shithead” and I’d do it again. I have a different cat I can wear as a hat. This post is not about cats like that.
