Dwarf Fortress is quite the rabbit hole. It’s so much more than just a game. The complexity of the simulation has actually made me wonder about simulation theory IRL.

It’s mind blowing.

And this makes you tired…?

Unfortunately, Roger Stone would probably get off on it.

Sales of physical copies of games is where consoles truly shine. It’s not as great as a few years ago (getting surplus steelbook games for like $10 sometimes), but you can still regularly pick up AAA games that are a handful of months old for $20 or sometimes less.

Check sites like dekudeals and psprices (steamDB is great too for making sure you’re not being over charged on Steam).

It’s just being a savvy consumer.

But yeah, when it comes to Nintendo hardware, the only reason to have it imo is the first party games, and those will never go on sale so you might as well just pony up. You can do the voucher thing and save $10 on each if you get two games (dunno if that’s still a thing).

Ah, bummer… Can’t you just log in using X11 instead of Wayland for the session when you want to play? Assuming it’s a Wayland issue…

Thanks, I’ve saved your comment and I’ll add them to the list.

Something inherently skeevy and untrustworthy about buying acid from someone so clearly and openly against the very idea of psychedelics.

Bad vibes.

I’ve only ever seen Short Cuts (loved it), the Player (liked it a lot), and McCabe and Mrs Miller (ehh…). How do you think I’d feel about his other films?

For some reason I’ve been having issues too, but I started adding this to my launch options in the game properties in Steam and it seems to work for several games. Dunno if this is the same issue as you though, but maybe worth a shot:

PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command%

Also use Wayland.

Nothing spiritual about it for me… My psychedelic exploration phase is largely behind me these days, but it was never about spirituality for me, and as someone who abhors magical thinking, I never once believed it was anything more than chemical reactions in my brain.

Which is what I found far more fascinating… Particularly with LSD, how a dose weighed in micrograms that is expelled from you body completely, through your urine, within an hour or two, can set off a switch in your brain that will cause your to experience 8-12 hours of intense psychedelic visuals and mind fucks that truly cannot be expressed in words.

It sucks that you never felt that curiosity about your own brain and what it is actually capable of.

Next the GOP will be screaming to nationalize these publicly traded companies so the public has no say in how they’re run.

For one, nationalizing would have the opposite effect. It literally means that the company is administrated by the people of the nation, and therefore they reap the profits/rewards. It also means they have more control.

Sure, an autocrat might try to use this to consolidate power, but the concept of nationalizing isn’t inherently bad. It can be done correctly, and be a great boon for society.

Which is why, second, the GOP would never do such a thing. Wrest control of private corporations from billionaire capitalists that fund their campaigns and hand it to the people? Lol are we talking about the same party?

I’ve recently come to terms with the fact that I guess I’ve just grown out of Star Wars. When you strip away all of the nostalgia, I don’t think any of the originals (or prequels) hold up at all. And the newer ones have just been trash.

Damn, Jackie Brown is great

Seriously, it’s always been the dumbest fucking premise of all time.

Short Cuts is amazing. Altman changed the game in many ways. I believe he changed the entire way we record dialogue because the way we did it before just didn’t work for him.

Can you read?

Won’t someone think of the landlords?!?

Imagine having the worst flu you’ve ever had. It feels like you’re dying. And there is literally only one thing that will help and taking it will instantly cure you.

You’re going to do what you can to get that thing. It’s a difficult urge to fight, especially when it feels like life or death (and in the case of alcohol and benzos, it can be).

Your body dictates that you do things all of the time… You can only hold in your piss and shit for so long before it starts to harm you. You need to eat food. You need oxygen, and cannot hold your breath until you die. Your body has tons of “reflexes” that cause you to do things outside of your control all of the time.

Whoa dude, these are questions nobody’s ever asked before!

Try reading a book or something, damn… This shit has been talked about and studied to death, you don’t need to hypothesize.

Or just see if you can hold your breath until you die. You can’t? WHO’S IN CONTROL? Spooky.

You jest, but without cannabis, I’d probably be in prison or dead in a ditch somewhere from opioid overdose.
