“It’s a Zelda game. I bet I could beat Ganon with a stick. I mean, I just have to hit him 3 times, right?” - First experience with BOTW

Epic got their big break by ripping off and trying to out-Quake Quake. I’m not sure they were ever brave enough to even have an original idea.

Gonna roll everything up into a fucking star.

The only thing I can guess what the fuck he even means by this is that it’s insanely easy to get popular on Instagram; you really just need to hit it 3 times to win.

If I was comparing SM to video games:

Reddit would be GTAV Online because it looks really fun until you actually start playing it a while and realize how fucking abysmal it truly is.

Twitter would be whatever the current most popular mobile bullshit is. Everyone plays it, but nobody would ever say it’s actually fun.

InstaGram is Pokemon Snap.

Every toothpaste being approved by the same 9 dentists, while the 10th is screaming “it’s just foaming agents and mint flavor! It doesn’t do anything!”

Deprogram them from what, exactly? From not being hateful little shits that wanna get rid of everything and everyone that isn’t exactly like them?

If I upgrade my machine, I am keeping TPM disabled. I don’t want Windows 11.

It’s true.

I’m a non-decent human (but a good dog) and I think Ubisoft games are soulless garbage.

A teacher of mine had similar rules in highschool, and I remember one girl brought a fucking scroll that unfurled down to the floor.

I was interested when I heard it was going to be a musical.

I was turned off when I found it was just licensed music and would not have any original songs. Like… What’s the point of making a musical if you’re not gonna make new songs specifically for the story?

It means he likes to have lots of NSA sex without a condom.

Really? Can you fit in the AC vents to poop in there?

If it’s easier to attract flies with honey than it is with vinegar, how come flies don’t be trying to go after beehives? 🤔

Little of both. This is where you might encounter a boot error, between the white and black screens. But I never saw one that I didn’t forcibly make happen when modding. At least not with PlayStation’s. Xbox red rings were common as fuck, and they would also occur during the startup logo sequence.

I’m glad we have finally gotten to a technological point where games just go right to the god damn menu the moment you power on the machine (or at least, good ones without an hour of unskippable logos and disclaimers), since that was what I had originally, you know, back before the CD era and everything was solid state. You’d pop in an NES, Master System, SNES or Genesis cart in, power it on and BAM! the game is already going.

Not that I am not nostalgic for the PS1, PS2, Dreamcast and GameCube startup sequences.

Was out a bit ago getting some cleaning stuff and when I walked out the store, I just smelled an overpowering amount of pumpkin pie spice. I then had to walk past a Chinese restaurant and could smell fried rice coming from it, mixing with the pumpkin pie spice smell and now I have a lasting impression of pumpkin spiced fried rice in my mind. 😬

The rabbits could be useful in biology. Not only are they something often used for dissection, there are school-adjecent programs like the FFA where you might learn how to raise them. I raised rabbits as my FFA project, since participation in the FFA was required for the AP Biology class they stuck me in.

Haha it’s true though, most people are just, you know… People. I haven’t been everywhere, but I’ve been to a few countries other than my own and all the differences are negligible except maybe not understanding the language. You see just as many differences in culture traveling to other states within the US; but a lot of these ignorant people haven’t even done that.

It’s also kinda true that food brings different cultures together like no other. How can you hate people who make hella good food?!

Personally, I liked the original more. I just think it did the darker elements of the story way better. Brotherhood had a totally different focus, but I do appreciate it having an actual conclusion unlike the original.

To put it another way: the original makes me cry at some parts; Brotherhood never did.

If the conversation turns toward something I am interested in (or rather, what my brain is), I can blab until I feel self-conscious about talking too much. But I have pretty limited interests, so I am also mostly non-verbal.

Super hard to make relationships because I don’t especially find people to be interesting, even if they often do interesting things. I want to care about shit like how someone’s day was, but I just… Don’t. Even if their thoughts and feelings matter to me. :/
