It got a lot of hate from me because the text lied. Blame bad translation or just bad game design. I had to wait until Gamefaq existed before I was able to solve the garlic puzzle.

This. When I was a kid, I asked this same question and it took me years to fully wrap my head around it.

The ELI5 - When we pick food, we often pick it when it’s the most fresh. We want the freshest apples, the healthiest corn. That also applies to meat. We kill animals at their peak, and harvest them for meat.

When you die, it’s because something is rotten. Lung. Heart. Cancer. Its part of aging. If some part of your body was rotten enough to kill you, that means that was circulating through the rest of your body. Say that a rabbit was killed by poison gas. Would you eat it, if technically, the poison was mostly in its lungs?

I remember when windows used to brag about incredibly fast boot times.

Now, my 5 yo gaming PC takes about 30 seconds to wake up to the password screen. While my Linux laptop takes 15 seconds to go from cold start to desktop.

Damn. Some people get laser vision or can shoot fire.

My mutant powers is thicker ear hair.

This is why I hate how everything is AI now.

Generative AI is absolute trash.

A fancy suped up search engine using AI to check files and answer questions about the files, whatever.

That’s funny as hell and now I’m buying it to trigger the snowflakes.

I wrote the their customer support and they actually sent me a medium post saying how the CEO’s opinion was misconstrued.

Which was weird as hell because it just made things more suspicious. Anybody can write a medium post.

Do not speak of this evil. It’s too powerful.

Well it also spits out lawsuits and lawsuits on top of those lawsuits.

And then a bunch of people get rich.n

In the show Severance, you have a innie and a outtie. That’s me.

My innie is here to do the work and make money. Sometimes my innie hangs out with coworkers. Or acknowledge their major life event. But innie does marketing work and adds more garbage to the garbage pile.

My outtie has a family. He loves his family. He takes them to plays and dinners and outdoor events. He paints and watches lame TV. He tells his wife how beautiful she is, his kids how proud they make him.

Their two lives are separate. Innie is focused, driven, direct, and some what of an asshole to get the job done. Outtie is loving, spends time with his family, and paints.

Am I thick skinned? No. Innie is just willing to suck corporate dick and do a song and dance so outtie can enjoy life.

We got jabronis who leave bad reviews because games are woke.

I actually don’t know if it’s Steam or Enhanced Steam but there’s a way to filter reviews by language. It’s really neat to see something like overwhelmingly positive in one country, and mixed/negative in another country.

Not certain what others experienced, but in my company, a bad Windows Update knocked out most of our computers for a full day. It was so bad, you can see it in like monthly financial reports when it happened.

It was one of the motivators for why my job dropped Microsoft.

It took a long time, but my company is fully off Windows.

Most of our workstations are on Linux. Unfortunately, the programmers and designers are still on Mac.

The Amish that I grew up near were big into shunning, child marriage, sexual abuse, not talking to the cops, and lots of drugs.

I’m just saying it might be easier to switch to open source or something.

I was really surprised how quick my kids fell in love with Super Mario 3(Super Mario All-stars).

Their cousin played the Switch version and my introduction led them to try and 100% all the classic 2D Super Mario games.

Only if you teach them. My son is playing casual games on Steam and emulated games.

While my son’s friends were talking about new Call of Duty/Fortnite updates. And they’re like 8yos.

You’re worried about child predators on Roblox.

I’m worried about my dummy kids taking my credit card and buying microtransactions.

(We are not the same meme)

Oh what a memory! I remember I was playing Sonic the Hedgehog, where my best friend was playing Zelda Lttp and my crush was playing Doom on Win95.

And yeah, when PS1 came out, suddenly we were bringing our own controllers to play Tekken. And then once in a while, go to our one buddy’s house to Oogle Dead or Alive 2 on Dreamcast.
