  • My favorite series is disgaea, but I wouldn’t recommend it to most people, it’s over the top game breaking silliness.

    Chroma-squad is often overlooked, but captures a lot of what name 90s trpg’s great and improves on the formula quite a bit.

    The absolute best trpg imo is “bionic dues”, I feel like it you enjoyed into the breach you should definitely give bionic dues a shot, it’s such a different style of game,


  • I’m closer to 40 than 35, and my wife recently gave up ever replacing “college blanket”, which was actually bought for me in early high school after I asked if I could take my grandparents comforter home with me. They found one and got it for me that Christmas (I think it was Ross/home goods), it was probably the most generic comforter ever, I always thought I’d be able to find another when needed. After 2 cats, a dog and the better part of 2 decades, my wife decided it was time to let it go and get a replacement, no problem, it’s the most generic comforter ever. She gets me a nice duvet, so we can keep the inside nice and replace the outside as needed, nope definitely not the same. She gets a comforter, it’s stitched way too tightly, and doesn’t breathe the same (okay maybe a 20 year old blanket has gained a bit of aeration, maybe it breathes better than it did when it was new, but you can definitely tell the padding is stitched much more tightly than college blanket’s ever was), she got me a “cooling” comforter, it’s decent, but paired best with college blanket, and when I only have 1 blanket 9 times out of 10 it’s college blanket.

    Now college blanket has had 5 cats and 3 dogs and the majority of my life, it’s been the bed of desire for multiple animals, myself included, and my wife sometimes asks for it when she’s sick. Apparently it’s really scratchy, and holey, and it’s closely missing about 20% of it’s original fluff, and I would put it away in a place of honor in a heartbeat if I could find a new one. I swear it was 40 dollars at a home goods store, in a pile with a hundred others just like it, but we’ve looked for the better part of a decade now, and it’s been deemed irreplaceable. It would probably be the first material thing I went for if we had to evacuate. I’m not highly sentimental, but you don’t let a good blanket go.



  • I mean…

    I haven’t read anything about a console “beating” my deck, I’ve not really kept up with consoles since getting my deck.

    I’m not upset if something sells more than the deck, it’s a different environment, should I be annoyed i-phones are more popular than the deck?

    I don’t think Nintendos success will have any bearing on the next deck, be it design, marketing or release window, if anything the Nintendo coming out right now is great holdover/low market time between the deck and whatever comes next. If anyone was looking to buy new hardware right now it would be apt to compare the two products as the Nintendo would probably have better hardware, even though the product you get is so much different that 9 times out of 10 the honest & correct answer is ‘deck’.

    Whatever is driving this theory/controversy is baiting for your attention. I’d recommend taking it with a grain of salt and focusing on the bigger issues right now (especially if in America)



  • Being able to run a site without donations for years without any incoming donations is a great thing, but years isn’t really that long, and what would happen when that money ran out? There would be a last minute funding push for a company with a proven record of financial malpractice, who would want to donate to it then?

    You’re right that the editors don’t get money, but they do get a reputable unbiased platform that they can share their knowledge on, and for many people that’s more than enough. (Source: Wikipedia, Reddit, Lemmy)







  • I’m using the same device, I stopped using signal about a year ago, my phone has updated versions a couple times since then, every couple months I would go back to find a password or login that I was texted, a couple days ago I started signal to look for a login and it said it had to update, now it says I have to “secure your number” and use it to log in to retrieve my messages.






  • “gamers” would have a cow if there was ever a sequel seriously discussed. He already charged them once, how dare he charge them again.

    I suspect 10-20% of the community would take that stance, even if it’s only a few%, it would absolutely be magnified by the echo chamber and there will be talk or how concerned ape left stardew valley “incomplete” and it’s "abandon-ware"and all future products should be pirated.


  • Very easy to tell if someone knows what they wrote about in a two minute conversation. My wife grades/t.a’s at a university, it’s obvious when someone doesn’t know the information in person (and she’s very understanding towards people who cannot verbalize the information but still know it). The old professors aren’t very keen to it, but the graders can very easily smell the bullshit.

    And if you know the information well enough, but send it through gpt for editing/refinement, that’s usually accepted, unless you’re in a class that grades on composition.
