I’ll take a wonderful experience over a repetitive “make rank number go up” game any day of the week.

Don’t get me wrong, I played all the online multiplayer stuff, many MMOs, all the FPS games, RTS, you name it. But even in those universes I preferred something like Left 4 Dead over something like Counter Strike. At least with a co-op game like L4D the gameplay was more interesting and felt more immersive. CS, Overwatch, even good old Quake in multiplayer mode just felt so repetitive that I got tired of them after 15 minutes of “get flag, kill enemy, twitch around the map like a hyena on meth”

An old single player rpg with a great story was always going to capture my interest more than those online games. An MMORPG is more like an MMO and less like an RPG. And for games with less of a story to tell, a great platformer or adventure game where there was actual progression and new mechanics/challenges to discover level by level, was just more engaging than running Dust 2 a hundred times a night.

Now a days with games like Witcher 3, BG3, Cyberpunk, Hades, and the like, I just can’t bring myself to plug into those perpetually repetitive online experiences. Especially when if I do want to do some multiplayer, a game like BG3 has a wonderful implementation of it. Something like that is the kind of multiplayer I can get down with.

And also, plenty of others have said it already but I’m old and I got shit to do man. I can’t be gaming on someone else’s clock. Steam Deck has really helped get me back into gaming through. That thing has been a godsend. Knock out a chapter in Justice before I go to bed, it’s like reading a bit of a good book before bedtime. Love it.

Justice is great by the way if you like the Yakuza series but want something a little less goofy. Same studio.

Hell yeah. Another vote for Seal!

Tell that to 2FA apps for banks and enterprise security systems.

Casshern (the 2004 live film not the original anime)

Actually that 15 bean soup has a few lentil varieties in it already.

Also look up Tuscan bean soup, that’s a good one too.

And of course a hearty chili WITH BEANS because that’s the best kind of chili and I’ll fight anyone that says otherwise.

And for a dessert treat try Japanese red bean soup. It’s a great winter dessert.

All memes and jokes aside it’s really good stuff if you can find it at your local grocery store. It has a recipe on the back and comes with the seasoning in the bag. Just add meat and some veggies.

Full Metal Jacket.

Best war movie and best Kubrick movie of all time.

Lollipop in my ass

Tokyo Xtreme Racer

And thankfully, they just released a teaser for a new one so I guess my wish is going to be granted!

Nexusmods. Don’t want to pay for it so it’s the least I can do.

I’d say definitely. The first useful thing I printed was during the pandemic where all the paper towels you could get were those z fold ones you see in office building bathrooms. Suffice to say, most people don’t have a container at home for those types of paper towels, so I mocked one up that was like a home tissue box and printed it out. Saved myself 80+$ on making one instead of buying one on Amazon (also they’re all wall mounted and I didn’t want to do that)

Since then I’ve printed toilet paper roll holders, plant pots, catch all bowls, insulated drink holders, tie racks, jewelry racks and boxes, all manner of things I use almost every day, and I’ve learned about 3d modeling as a result (not really good yet but still) so win win.

Edit: I’d say at this point I’ve definitely printed more than how much the printer costed in terms of things I use. Printing mini figures and scenery for tabletop games alone has exceeded the cost it would have been to buy that stuff.

Yes I have an fdm and a resin printer, but they’ve both got a lot of good use and yes absolutely worth it.

TAKE THE LAND, THAT MUST BE TAKEN

Just in case you weren’t aware, that Futurama episode was loosely based on a real life dog that waited for his master at the train station every day for years after the humans death

They are too good for us and we don’t deserve them, but I’m glad we have them in our lives.

Came here to make a human steak joke but as usual, the community doesn’t disappoint.

Pretty much the worse “console” ever made. Any video on it will tell you all you need to know. I wouldn’t buy it for a penny today if someone offered.
