That is deeply ironic!

Once you try stretch denim, as a guy it's hard to go back to normal denim. Feels like a cage around my crotch.

Speak for yourself, sure I'm not alone in this but I can't stand pyjamas. Often they have buttons which are uncomfortable (for front sleepers, which try as I might, I often find myself waking up from this position), and they seem to get all twisted round my nutsack and bunched up in my butt. Not to mention, too hot!

I like being a birthday suit ice popsicle when sleeping, otherwise I wake up in a pool of sweat and have bad dreams. I'm sure I read a study recently that found optimum temp for a good nights sleep isn't a hot or even warm temp.

I find talented / strong women to be hot as hell, is that sexist? I'd happily date a woman who can bench me.

That's very disappointing to hear. I've upgraded to the latest Fdroid version, and I guess that is where the updates will end!

According to the holographic principle, our entire 3d universe is a projection of a 4d space, so really the traffic is more realistic than other games!

I'm happy with my version of simple messenger, I've not updated it for a while... Am I good to keep using that? Can you explain more what you mean by selling out?

Shreks all day, baby. Why the heck would I want to be a stinky vegetable that makes people cry, when I could instead be a stinky ogre who makes people cry?!

Get oot 'o ma swamp.

Fwiw I wasn't wondering, I have an official diagnosis. It was pretty funny (at least I thought so)

Psychiatrist: "Ok, you've scored really highly on the test I've given you"

Me: "Oh, awesome!"

Psychiatrist: "No, not awesome, it means you're autistic"

Yeah for $17 it'd be an absolute steal, assuming it's playable. Iirc it didn't crash once for me, just there were sooooo many ridiculous graphical bugs, and so many systems just felt half-arsed or unfinished. Some notable examples for me:

• looking out over the city from a high point, zooming in on the traffic and finding out they're sprites
• no real police / law system, you could have your back to a wall and they'd somehow teleport behind you
• on my first cyberpsycho case, as the "Thanks for work, I'll take it from here" call didn't trigger until leaving the area, I was unsure of what to do with the knocked-out psycho, so I carried them to the trunk of my car. Well, the game did not account for my idiocy and there were, let's just say, interesting spaghettification results when I drove away
• the autodrive when calling your car often had hilarious or strange results

Thanks for the informative reply! I am definitely going to update at some point. I tend to only play one game at a time, not sure if it's an autism thing but I get very much into one game, play it to completion, do all the side quests if I really like it, then move onto the next... don't replay games very often.

I got the absolute worst ending possible on my CP2077 runthrough, I have a save from just before the point-of-no-return and was mopping up all the side activities with the intent of trying to get a better ending. Perhaps I should start a new game from scratch to really appreciate all the additions. Though, I wager I'll be installing the car handling / HUD element and minimap resizing mods immediately, unless they've fixed those issues?

They have 2000 hrs in CP2077. But clearly never read or heard of 'How to make friends & influence people'

The driving was absolutely atrocious imo. Last time I played it, I had to use a lot of mods to make the game not be exasperating.

Eg... Tiny minimap; poor car handling; the HUD elements not scaling properly and being too small to read

It was a good game, just it fell well short of expectations. When you compare the little systems that contribute to games by R* like rdr2 / gta5 feeling so detailed and alive, it felt a bit barren, despite all the gorgeous backdrop and cool abilities.

"mile wide, inch deep" would be how I described it. The story was excellent but the gameplay loop imo needed some work.

Have you played the new version / dlc yet (I've not so pls no spoilery spoilers)?

I wasn't expecting to love Lower Decks so much, knew I'd enjoy it but it really is incredible. Star Trek has always had a little sprinkling of goofiness but LD turns it up to 11!

The crossover episode is amazing too, didn't realise how much the animators based the characters on the voice actors.

I'd say to be careful what you wish for, because once the game has begun, it doesn't end until the cat is bored. It's impossible to resist the cute drop / sad little cat-activation-noise when you get distracted and don't notice.

I'm cautiously optimistic for Light No Fire. The main thing I learned from the NMS initial launch experience (am a day 1 player) is not to allow myself to get too hyped for games (this knowledge was cemented by the launch of CP2077 haha). And, you'd hope that Sean / HG learned also not to overpromise in terms of feature set... would hope they learned a hell of a lot from the long cycle of updating NMS.

One of my friends in Finland has a couple of cats, one is fairly disinterested in people but the other loves to play fetch with her toys. It's ridiculously cute.

That's almost as far away as the moon! Therefore, the only logical explanation is ALIENS

You make some good points, and I respect you greatly for being nuanced in the face of extremely anger-inducing rhetoric (also for raising your head above the virtual parapet!).
