Just chillin like the local neighborhood villain

How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

You could get some old school couch co-op fun with Zombies Ate My Neighbors. My friends and I spent so many hours on that game. So much chaotic fun.

I regret nothing and I do not consider this to be dishonorable.

After what she did to those poor pilgrims, she deserves no honor. It was a that point that I went from "okay so the citadel bugs are obviously the bad guys (duh)" to "I am personally going to take immense satisfaction in bringing these guys down with as much savage justice as possible"

Yeah, I still do this and love seeing it on other people's pages

Sister Splinter fight frustrated me while with Last Judge (and pretty much every other boss so far) I looked forward to just getting the pattern right and finally beating them. I don't know why that is, though. I just recall getting really annoyed with it. Might have been the slow elevator and annoying bounce flowers (I think?) in the runback more than the fight itself. I got the blasted steps runback down pretty quick to the point I actually kind of enjoyed feeling cool zipping through it

There are things in Silksong that don't do double damage?

Thank you! Appreciate the time and effort that you put in to maintain this

I like how supportive their neighbor is being

Same, and I don't even play

Probably. I recently installed a bunch of packages so now I use emacs to check my RSS feeds, look up the current word's definition or synonyms, browse Gopher and Gemini sites, check my email ... I told myself I was doing it just for fun to see how much truth there was to the whole "emacs is a great operating system" joke but I genuinely love how handy it all is and I'm worried I'm going to keep falling in even deeper. A part of me does dislike not using purpose built programs for each of those functions ("do one thing and do it well"), but it's been a fun experiment so far

This feels like a meme a vim user would make about emacs being bloated

Our local Browncoats chapter rents out a theater once a year to watch Serenity, and everyone singing along with the song is so glorious

This is why I get a lot of comfort stargazing at night. So much stress or worry melts away when the realization hits that nothing really matters anyway. I don't think this is quite what Tolkien was going for with the scene where Sam sees a star up through a small opening in the gloomy sky when he's struggling, but it's how I took it.

I think the tricky part for some people is trying to figure out why living life should matter at all, then, but it's always worked for me. Just because a moment ends doesn't mean that the moment shouldn't matter to you, if you find it fulfilling or meaningful.

I'm trying to figure out why this got downvoted

Stop it. Get some help.

My first thought was "I bet Action Retro will be happy to hear this"

I'm always puzzled when people tear these things down rather than use them to build into something greater. Channel that energy while it's there and people are fired up! If someone has ideas that they believe will be more effective, now's a great time to pitch them - and without insulting the people they're pitching them to.

You could unionize and invest the minimal effort into being part of an awareness/solidarity campaign.

Por que no los dos? I don't think this is being proposed as an answer that will solve the problem on its own. Set a clippy profile picture, self-host, do whatever else you can as well toward the same goal. No need to restrict all our eggs to a single basket.
