I also don't have any social media unless you count this account. I had a similar thought years ago that it was just going to make me unhappy.

People at work the other day were talking about how they stress about which photos to post. I'm like why. That's such a self inflicted wound.

I used to have a FB account because people used it for events, but I never posted, and I used adblock to hide the main feed.

Now when I do parties and stuff, I just send out Google calendar invites. (I should de-Google but that's a long road I haven't started down)

I finally finished the third game after all these years. New playthrough of the legendary edition. Femme Shep, but not the new default skin. Something about the face shape looks weird to me.

Also, I'd avoided spoilers all these years. The ending was as bad as everyone said. I'm late to the party , I know.

When I play RPGs, I don't make myself. I don't see the character as an extension of myself. I'd much rather watch a woman do cool stuff than some dude. So I usually make women characters. Maybe some part of my brain sees some cool dude doing cool stuff and goes "great. Now I'm competing with him" and is stressed.

One of my friends would always try to make himself in games. Skinny white guy with short hair and minimal facial hair. He saw himself in the game and liked it. I don't really want to see myself get blown up or stabbed or eaten by a demon, but to each their own

In multiplayer games where other people might see it as an extension of real me, I more often play male characters. In tabletop, I've never played a woman PC. None of the reasons I do so in a video game really apply. (I've played plenty of woman NPCs, but that's different)

I was showing my girlfriend the game a little and she said that the default male Shepard looked like an asshole. Shaved head no facial hair looks like a skinhead, I guess.

Seems reasonable, but Republicans would have spent decades capturing that system and we'd end up in a similarly bad position. The problem is conservatives have shit ideas and want them to be law. Unless we fix that, any system will be corrupted.

Is this the one with the weird multiplayer stuff where you fight other people's orcs, and sometimes they're suspiciously like level 100 and super annoying to kill? And it has stupid sexy shelob?

I never finished it because of those things, but otherwise the core gameplay was alright.

Dying Light's gameplay is pretty good, but I like immediately got a mod to fix the idiotic weapon break system. It's the extremely tiresome "Your hammer breaks after hitting 20 zombies" system plus "you leveled up! now you can use a better hammer with bigger numbers!". Easy enough to mod to taste.

The story, however, is kind of bad. You don't really get any choices, which is fine, but what happens is not satisfying. The DLC is also fun, but the story ending is trash. I just uninstalled it after instead of doing any of the extra bits.

Hades, on the other hand, is very good. No complaints.

I don't see how taking it out on the staff is going to make anything better.

If someone writes a complicated work of fiction, is it gate keeping to not also include an explainer in simple prose?

Someone might but Finnigan's wake and be completely baffled by it. Is that an accessibility problem? Is the author in the wrong?

Why or why not?

Note this is distinct from publishing it in braille or audiobook format

Difficulty is not the same as accessibility.

Remapping the inputs so they can be done with one hand is not the same as "you get twice as much health and mana".

Do you have a source for this? My understanding was only credit card balances mattered.

I am legitimately confused about how none of the cops involved in that have not been vigilante’d.

I also think about this a lot. There's like a mass shooting every day but it's never cops, politicians, billionaires.

Seems fine.

I wonder if we can also teach people delayed gratification. People's inability to do that is I think a root of a lot of problems.

I'm not aware of any harms from using a no-fee credit card that you pay off in full each month. You get 1% - 5% back, and it's easier to deal with fraudulent charges.

I bet a chunk of those republicans are mad that the court is "too liberal"

Republicans are the worst

I don't see that button on YouTube (Firefox android). Am I blind? Is it on some other front end?

That grand jury should have refused to indict.

Gw2 is the only MMO I've played where other people are only a positive. They can't steal your loot. They can't mess up your quests. It's a good game. No gear treadmill, too.

Who else would rather spend 5 minutes reading than 12 minutes watching? Can I get a transcript?

What this guy doesn’t ever address is that has always been true.

This is commonly known as Sturgeon's Law.

90% of everything is crap. There were a ton of bands contemporary to the Beatles. Most of them aren't well remembered.
