  • Didn't even watch Ready Player One the movie because the audiobook was just as cringey, and it was read by Wil Wheaton of all people. I like his work with boardgaming (tabletop), but something about his voice just so well represented the blatant fan service-ness of the whole thing, I hated every minute of it.

    As for popular movies that I hated? I don't feel THAT strongly about it, but I was just kind of meh on Sonic 3. I wasn't even expecting a masterpiece, but it seems like there's been enough online hype that made it seem like it was going to be better than expected. It was just whatever. My kids liked it well enough, so I'm probably not the target audience anyways, I've played many of the Sonic games, but I'm not nostalgic or a Sonic nerd or anything. It was a sub-par movie with a handful of funny lines.

  • Doesn't he have enough money to just pay people to setup friendly accounts? I hate Musk's ass, but if he wants to put me on his payroll to kiss his ass on the internet, I'm for sale. $200k/year and I will sing his praises far and wide.

  • Get with my kids and hang out... wherever. No basement, so either in a bathroom or get in a car and park it around behind my house and hope it's enough to protect us from the blast. If it doesn't, at least I'll be together with my kids when it happens.

  • Didn't VP Trump come out on his side already? Clearly President Musk has nothing to fear.

  • I don't even know. I must've caught a glimpse of something when I wrote that, but I'll be darned if I can't find it now. There's only the Illustrated Woman that I can see now.

    SoloRPGs: Modeling/Simulating Relationships - other factors to consider?

  • I keep looking over the picture of the woman, trying to compare it to whatever the other image is of, and I’m not sure what they’re talking about. I’ve gone over every inch of her body and I don’t know what any of this is about. I’m sorry, what’s going on?

  • Not in FL, but in another GOP state that I'm sure will join the bandwagon eventually. I knew there was a reason I've been hoarding "data".

  • “So that’s it then? What, we some kind of Warhammer 40k?”

  • It was, but it still is too.

  • You might try meetups around a hobby that you're into (or interested in learning about). I always suggest boardgaming because it's a relatively casual atmosphere for meeting people around an activity. There's no pressure to carry on a conversation and you're not dating these people, just meeting strangers for gaming. You usually still have to talk about the game and rules as you're playing, so it gives you something in common to talk about. The rules provide structure if you're socially awkward, so it's maybe not as chaotic as just going to a party with a bunch of people there and trying to carry on random conversations. Meetup.com is what I've tried before and that worked well for me in my area (results may vary).

    That's just something to get you out of the house, pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone seems like the first thing you'd want to try doing. Getting out and meeting new people can help sometimes. It sounds like you're in a rut, just sort of bored with everything, or at least wanting something more. Otherwise, maybe pick some sort of hobby or interest maybe you've though about before and just throw yourself into it if you have the time and/or money. Learn something new. Start an exercise routine or just start going on extended (30min) walks around your neighborhood. Start volunteering somewhere. Write in a journal. Just do something that's not part of your typical routine that sparks some new mental connections for you.

    And even though you don't feel depressed, what you're describing still could be a sign of depression, so reaching out for support is always an option that you shouldn't feel ashamed of or anything.

    Just throwing some stuff out there as ideas, but I hope everything works out well for you.

  • ALLAHU HANDLEBARS!!!

  • Yeah, no, we're still going to walk into this, despite nothing about this sounding like it's going to turn out well. Gee golly, there's just nothing we can do about any of this. Not like we have a current sitting President with the effective powers of a king who could wield that power for the greater good. Nah, we're just gonna do this. Hope it works out well.

  • Congratulations on pricing people out of a college education, have fun with that.

  • On one level, I sympathize with companies like Nintendo, I don't want to, BUT companies are supposed to make efforts to protect their IP or they run the risk of losing those exclusive protections when it matters later on (abandonment). So if they want to continue their IP rights, they're supposed to defend it against anything that comes along. I still don't like it, but I kind of understand why they have to do it.

    Granted, I think they could come up with some sort of licensing terms that would made it easy for solo developers to still develop small-time projects to encourage people to create these one-off labors of love, similar to what alot of TTRPG developers do, but for whatever reason, they go the hardball approach, which just creates bad feelings in the community.

  • Then call me gay, because I'm still gonna be fuckin' (women) for awhile and I'm definitely not getting any more kids ever again. Guess I got to start marching in gay pride parades now, it's like the law, isn't it?

  • That's what I've been wondering, we really don't even know what the motive was, but the one thing that kind of elevates this beyond him being a "basic murderer" is the carved words on the bullets. That seems to suggest some kind of motive above just him being a hitman or just killing some random person.

    Regardless, I think most people are having the reaction they're having to this because of our ridiculous healthcare system, everyone recognizes it as a problem and alot of people have a loved one who has been wronged by it. Almost any other issue would've created a partisan split where Republicans took one position and Democrats took the other position. That a set of clear Left/Right narratives haven't emerged yet kind of suggests that alot of people aren't particularly bothered by it. Where this goes though is anyone's guess, maybe it's just a single unified moment that is quickly overshadowed by some other bullshit that comes along.

  • That's kind of how I thought about it before, I didn't want them to think they had gotten to me, that they had "won" the argument, but anymore I feel like I'm using it because I just don't care to interact with them and I don't want any incidental contact in the future. We disappear from each other's online presence, I don't have to think about them ever again. They can think they "won", whatever, I've stopped thinking about them anymore.
