I absolutely can’t focus on one person if two are talking about roughly the same thing at the same time. The only way for me to take in any information is unfortunately to apologize to both of them and explain that while I’m glad they both know how to handle the situation I’m asking about, I can’t handle the information overload of both of them explaining it at the same time.

At which point I have to re-ask the same person I asked the first time to explain it.

Today you’ve taught me about the three other 5 letters words that end with those 4. Thanks.

In a similar vein:

Been driving for a few decades at this point. I use my turn signals for nearly all turns, and any moving merges. The more information I can give to other drivers, the more likely they are to act rationally… which decreases the chances of miscommunications and accidents.

I don’t always signal while in a turn only lane, as being in that lane should already denote my intentions, and while merging into heavy (stopped, bumper to bumper) traffic…

I don’t think today is my day.

There are always moments in someones life where they have to stop and look around them to see how things have been moving along and if they are moving in a direction which is acceptable. It’s in those moments that one might realize the life they’re living is a bit lopsided in terms of give and take. From there the extrapolation of if being off balance is acceptable to that person given the struggles of those around them is worth continuing down that path. And in the final push of Altruism, a realization that the world will never be balanced and as long as you have enough, then you should do whatever you can do make sure others are brought up to a level of enough to not cause undo suffering.

I am willing to admit that there are a small subsection of people who cannot be appropriately helped as they are unwilling (but completely able) to help themselves, and any efforts to aid them will only make them reliant on the assistance.

Gas prices jumped 30 cents per gallon out of no where, work has been exceptionally boring but at least I’m still working though since I know some of the funding for it comes from the federal government my continued employment is very much up in the air. I’m not a ‘core’ part of the company, just an offshoot that’s meant to tackle larger projects than the usual… but they can easily coast with the core section until funding does come through.

I forget there’s a format to these things… Oh well

We wouldn’t need words. Just a casual glance would tell me all I needed to know.

If you want to continue using a platform that actively does the nonsense… just avoid the nonsense. Keep politics and global events out of your posts and you should be fine. If you’re going to reddit to be part of niche communities, be about those communities and don’t stray.

I should probably go finish it.

guilty as charged.

Allegedly

Last time I tried? Last year before new computer.

Next time l try? I dunno. It will happen again, not sure when.

It feels like it’s always been this way. The amount of ‘doom clones’ from the way back times are not to be forgotten.

Now they’re made with marketable ‘passion’, ‘dedication’, and a team with ‘a family atmosphere’. My personal favorite ‘respect for the lore and previous games in the series’ definitely never has made a triple A game worse for wear.

Disingenuous buzzwords with no objective meaning behind them are my favorite things to hear in a game. It tells me to steer clear as far away as I possibly can. Which is a shame because I’d like to be excited about vampire: the masquerade 2.

Don’t need the whole body, just turn all my joints/cartilage/soft tissue back to 18 and I’ll just keep it moving (literally)

I’ve been finishing up random challenges in monster hunter wilds. There’s not much left on the ‘achievable without rng shenanigans’ list for me to get, so I’ve started planning for the next one.

Metal bringer. It’s a looter rogue lite in which you play as the daughter of amazing science family whose legacy has been besmirched or something, causing you to have to get out into a world of bots that need some good 'sploding.

The game loop eventually leads to starting with a massive mech and trashing the early game. The boss designs and weapons are really nice though some of the areas give me a headache.

It’s nice to see how many of yall are quick with whatever your favorite fictional universe is…

I have never put much thought into one I’d deem as a favorite. I like a lot of games, shows, books, and such… But I don’t think I’d be able to pick just one.
