  • Hey.

    Medically my heart is in tiptop shape.

    Nevertheless, Tarkov has given me twelve heart attacks, seven strokes, four aneurysms, two broken bones and high cholesterol.

    I do not recommend you play Tarkov.

  • Seconding Falling Skies here. Entertainingly bad. Think Red Dawn but with aliens instead of Russians.

  • There is always more than one thing going on.

    You're just going to hear mostly about the thing that's making the people who are telling you the most money. This would be less of an issue if you had a truly independent media as opposed to a capital dependent one.

  • Good for you.

    I constantly have to guard my stuff against my gf who has minimalist tendencies. She doesn't get that I like having stuff around that I pick up once every three years. It brings back memories for me. Also, who throws out books because they've read them? Heresy, I say!

  • I'm not sure how "Your choices don't matter and you'll all die anyway." is supposed to keep people going, but okay.

  • However, as long as it is "only" school children and ordinary civilians dying, Republicans will not change their stance on gun control in the slightest.

    So, you're saying we should start shooting unborn fetuses?

  • Disrespect your surroundings!

  • Spec Ops: The Line

    It's story is based on Heart of Darkness, the same book Apocalypse Now was based on, so they share some commonalities.

    Gameplay wise it's a pretty standard 3rd person cover shooter, nothing really memorable.

    But man that game fucks with your head and expectations of a shooter. While you mow down hordes of fellow American soldiers who have gone AWOL with their commander, the tone of the game constantly shifts ever so slightly. You lose people from your team, you get to be more and more vengeful and violent. And at first you think nothing of it, because that's almost every shooter I've played.

    But they let you see yourself in a mirror, so to say.

    I think the first time it really hit me was when on one of the loading screen tooltips, that usually said stuff like "You can throw grenades back." or "Flank your enemies." it just said "Do you feel like a hero yet?". Felt like I'd been punched in the gut. It gets more and more intense from there and I can't really describe it all, because it's been a decade or so and it was mostly the sum of a lot of smaller things.

    I know some people called it corny and pretentious but it really stuck with me.

  • Your phone doesn't occur naturally. So go play with sticks in the woods.

  • Okay but there's a bit of a difference between "Enjoy food" and "so morbidly obese that you're almost disabled".
