Thanks, I'll check it out :)

Only one of those is physically addictive, and the withdrawal can kill ya.

I'm a woman and I don't have any social media. I just don't see the value in it when the cost is tracking and ads.

Honestly, it's not great to assume that someone is "arrogant and judgmental" because they don't fit in your boxes :|

Futurama Season 1: Episode 6. Fry gets ads in dreams.

Futurama Splash Screen with: "Any Resemblance to Actual Future is Purely Coincidental" written as gag.

This rumour was recycled for New Kids on the Block in the 80s.

Thank you. I left Twitter when the petulent child took over, but I lament not being able to read local emergency info. I'll check these out.

I'm super tired and thought for a millisecond that was going to say CLIPPY.

You are really good at giving a bollocking

It's more comedy.

"But of course, in Bedford Falls, it was always Christmas Eve."

(If there are any Red Dwarf fans)

Edit: Its probably rude for me not to leave a summary: Red Dwarf was a phenomenal BBC sci-fi comedy in the 80s. I'm referencing the book Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers wherein a game, Better than Life, leaves people festering and wasting away in reality as they're hooked up to a headset living a virtual utopia.

Don't do drugs! Join a cult instead!
Fucking Y I K E S

Ugh, really? I hate the reboot/sequel cashgrabs of Sacred Eighties Shows 🥺 I'm scared to look up who will befoul the legacy of Keaton, Ryder, and Davis.

A non-USian, even I was dismayed when the results said Boebert won by 546 votes. Hopefully that's a motivator for next time.

Edit: It's Keaton, Ryder, and O'Hara. Fuckin Burton playing to my nostalgia; still feels like impending disappointment.

Very cute. Got stuck on one part, but I'm pretty baked ;)

Thanks!

I'm in Canada, where the bless-ed weed has been legal, federally, for five years. Please do it, USians! We need research done on the myriad of benefits medicinal marijuana has to offer.

I kinda want to go find the two elusive words.. 😂

Don't you have to ^add ^^more ^^^carets?

Edit: Damn, that's small 😂
Edit, edit: or did I just get old?

While I agree lootboxes are shite, and was dismayed when they brought them in, you can have them turned off in PoE if you have a compulsive/gambling issue (email support and they disable the purchase). Also, anything in a lootbox goes to the shop after the league ends, so you can just purchase the item. They also give a crap tonne of skins as challenge rewards for leagues, so you always be stylin'.

As for difficulty-- it has a steep learning curve! But once you get your sea legs (and later, Path of Building; free, community run) it's impossible to go back to something like Diablo, imo. The intricacy and constant new leagues are the only reasons I'm still playing it seven years later :)

I have to mention the single game I know of that doesn't follow the model. Path of Exile is completely F2P, all microtransactions are purely cosmetic. Some argue you need to purchase more stash tabs than the base four the game comes with, but I think if you're playing enough to need more tabs, it may be worth it to buy.

For me, I wanted to supports the devs, so I have a ridiculous amount of skins, pets, and portals from supporter packs, which have no bearing on your character's power or progress.

And there is a new league/expansion every three months for free. That's why it's been kicking Diablos arse for quality for years.

I end up sending screenshots with giant red circles everytime my folks forget stuff; I feel ya 😂

As for app feedback: Everything is grand, thanks! except * I'm bummed that tagging is an Ultra-only perk.
