Hes gotta call the people actually helping "pedo guys" first

It's just lots of experimentation. Lots of complex games are games that are not designed for you to make it through successfully on your first go. They're designed to be complete game overs that you learn from and make it further the next time. Lots of games also have a lot of moving parts that you have to master each one individually before you can tackle the whole thing. There's a reason Hitman speedruns are like 1 minute each level when most regular players can take well above an hour.

It really looks so bad. The cutscenes aren't even animated, they're keyframes with voiceovers like Ace Attorney.

It's a bit of an exaggeration but I'm glad that of the many things I said, that was what you took away. Very insightful commentary.

ive worked customer service for a few years now and I don't really ever say "you're welcome." I dunno why but I just say "have a nice day/evening/night"

Really as a technical user I'm moreso afraid of how much time and how much work it'll cost me. And I know a lot of distros are 1 click installs. That doesn't matter to me. It's more the transferring files and getting things set up and settling in again. I'm already settled in on my windows 10 computer. Everything is where it needs to be. I changed to Firefox earlier this month and just that was mentally painful. I can't imagine the whole OS.

I'm in university too so this would be a day that I could be doing homework etc

Open-ended, sandbox sports games. SSX, Skate 3, Steep, are a few off the top of my head. I remember the Steep devs made a BMX game that was similar a few years ago. I tried it but I just didn't find it nearly as fun as Steep was. They don't have to be extreme sports either, I think more traditional sports would be fun too. I like it when they're unrealistic and over-the-top too. I love playing Skate 3 and just listening to music and doing inhuman tricks. I've never played it but I've heard the NBA Jam series is like this.

edit: Wreckfest is also sort of in that realm. I'd love to play more racing games that aren't constantly trying to be simulators. Trackmania is the only one I can think of that's entirely divorced from being a simulator.

For sure. YouTube also can auto generate mixes of you search for stuff enough.

So, I have a spotify playlist of about a thousand songs that are my "favorites." Of course, not everything there is amazing to me nor do I memorize the lyrics. It's just what I play when I'm bored and don't have anything in mind but I wanna listen to music.

My tip is the use youtube's algorithm. I know a lot of people here hate that algorithm and for good reason but it is absurdly good at recommending music. Literally just play an artist you like, maybe one of their more niche songs or a song that's a bit more unique and you'll start getting recommendations for very similar music. It's especially great at electronic music. I genuinely never would have found a lot of the artists I listen to without it. It would've just slipped into the void.

plus you've got societal expectations for marriages. honeymoons, church marriages, the recitals and all that can cost big money. even just the photography. It all costs a bunch of money that some people just don't have, and they're too hesitant to burn bridges over it. Sure, you can elope in secret right? But that's a bigger can of worms then just staying partners

I don't have a VPN and I got this error too. It resolved itself after about an hour

As a man it's weird seeing other men look at the same guy who said "grab them by the pussy" in complete seriousness and then say "that's my president!"

And then in the next breath they complain that women don't give them the time of day. Like it's... strange. I think if you're gonna be misogynist you should also realize that means a lot of women aren't going to be into you, but some of them just straight up don't see it. The math just does not work in their brains.

Alpha males are what happens when you leave them in early access. Abandonware.

Ever seen The Social Network?

can't be gay if you run 6 cyclists over while attempting to blow black smoke into them

what? I'm really confused by your comment.

When you asked how people pay for journalism I assumed you were asking how journalists can make a website free while still having costs to their business, which is a very valid concern. I was stating that there are definitely jouranlism sources that I'd be happy to pay for if they gave me that option.

Presently I don't pay for journalism frankly because there are no sources that I hold to a high enough standard to say that they deserve some of my money. There are sources out there currently that are free or free with ads that, if they launched into a subscription model, I simply would not pay for because I don't think they have a high enough quality standard. There are some out there which is what I meant by my comment, but they're currently not accepting donations.

It probably costs something to produce, and it’s probably beholden to whoever pays its wages.

Do you think I don't know this? Do you think I was born yesterday?

Honestly I'm fine paying a subscription if the content is good. There's one local news source that's free that I'd be happy to pay a reasonable amount to view.

earth is about 4.5 billion years old so 1 year is pretty new

I work as a delivery driver (NOT gig work, hired by my company directly) in a city in a state that pays me a living minimum wage plus a living mileage. What confuses me the most is how pissy my coworkers get about non-tippers. Shaking their drinks, dropping their food, getting all huffy.

I literally don't care. Some nights have been horrific nights with 4 dollars total in tips, but I think most nights I end up with 30 to 50 anyway just because of tip culture.
