“I like FF7 but I wish instead of a JRPG, it was a generic ARPG” said an SE exec at some point, apparently.

He saw then charging a toll and wanted to also charge a toll.

Given the number of people who know what a cassette tape is, I always find these jokes about floppies unrealistic. But a shitpost is a shitpost.

We’ve simply evolved our methods, although it’s crazy spending any amount of time on a mainstream social media because it’s remarkable just how many people seem to have no idea you can pirate things. Limewire and Napster were so mainstream, comparatively.

Yeah, although I already did the goofball shit before parenting (maybe cause of my baby sis). Just now I have someone who appreciates random funny voices and silly faces.

Quiet city montage… lol.

I’m old enough to remember an April Fools Day bit Adult Swim once did where every show just had consistent, random fart sounds including serious anime like Ghost in the Shell. I’m certain this LLM would approve of such a work of (f)art.

It’s true, the only evangelizing I want to see on my feed is converting to Linux.

Of a high school of 600 people, they all know that one kid who is dating their AI, just like we knew that one kid who was emotionally attached to his anime body pillow.

If neither, Nuclear Fallout Friday…

You knew exactly the game I had in mind, haha. A little yellow paint might have gone a ways with that one… but you know, not literally yellow paint. Lol

I play so many old games I practically forgot about yellow paint, but the last AAA I played didn’t use that or minimaps, and despite being mostly linear, it was an absolute chore in an overly detailed environment.

Ya don’t need literal yellow paint like in some games (although I know there’s reasons for that) but lighting is really a nice way to do it. And in either case it’s better than waymarks and big ol’ arrows pointing the fastest route to a quest target, I still want to use my brain a little after all!

It is hopeless…

Because it’s the fucking red coins BEFORE you get the that star so you need some fancy jumps to get it and no matter how hard I try I can’t seem to do it and ugh I’m never gonna get that sweet RA badge-- hopeless.

A little unfair since Chevron is often 50 cents to a dollar more, but it’s still pretty bad. 5.60 a gallon at the cheapest. We still tax our gas though.

One of the best examples is a healthy family.

Weirdly, nothing so far with my latest swap has needed extra attention, but having to manually mount drives every boot (or adjust the config) might confound a former Windowsian. At least with my distro, anyway.

Time to learn DIY book binding…

I suppose that’s true. They didn’t used to have their butcher shop brand until a few years ago, and there’s no doubt they’re watering it down. You 100% can taste the difference with the higher end, at least. Same kinda for eggs, although I’m getting eggs at Sprouts.

Hell, tier pricing is even in the milk lately. I wish we had better standards, lol.

Yup! Though if you shop around you can avoid it and some chains, like Trader Joe’s, tend to include less as far as I can tell (except recently with those big breasts of theirs?). Not even that much more expensive but definitely a jump in quality. A Sprouts nearby also has fantastic chicken.

I’ve been meaning to visit the carnecerias near me, though. Getting meat at any specialized store tends to cook better, anyway, but I’m a little shy since my Spanish is terrible and last time I tried they didn’t speak English. Lots of pointing and gestures, lol.

There’s something rich about this coming from Nippon Ichi’s former head, the company that brought us the artistic masterpieces known as the Disgaea series. Truly visionaries, lol.

(PS I like the games and tbf, they’re… unique).

I’d personally just hold it with my teeth as soon as I’m done with my little chat. But chances are he’ll just hang from it movie style- nevermind how he’ll get off.
