May tomorrow you have an excellent Day of Venus.

Good forenoon to you!

Also, I’m totally down with referring to the days of the Week by their etymological roots. Happy Day of Thor to you!

I think we shouldn’t even have legal names anymore. Nor legal sex/gender. Why does the government even need to keep track of my name at all? Maybe we just have a number tied to our biometric data. Maybe our profile is just defined facial scans, iris scans, thumb scans, and, for ultimate proof, our DNA profile. The state has a profile number on you that ties you to your biometrics. That sounds scary, but the government already has a profile on you if you have any kind of state-issued ID. And states are already collecting biometric data on their citizens.

We could simply tie all state business to an ID number and biometric data profile. When doing a transaction with some other party, the same biometrics could be used to prove your ID. Buying beer at the store? You hand the cashier a card that has your photo and ID number on it. They can type that number in their computer, query a state database, and return your age. Opening a bank account? Prove your ID with ID card and at least two forms of biometric scan. Signing up for a mortgage? Prove your identity with a DNA test.

We don’t even need legal names. Or legal genders. Let’s just do everything with biometric data, photo IDs, and other methods devoid of all the cultural baggage. Let people call themselves whatever they want. Let others choose how to honor that choice.

You want to change your gender? Have at it, the state doesn’t care about your sex or gender at all. It doesn’t even keep track of it. Give your kid a stupid name? At any time, they can start telling their friends to call them by a different one And that new name will instantly have all the legal power as the one their parents gave them - none whatsoever. The state will no longer tell us what our names are. Our words and character will do that instead.

Yup. I’m pretty sour on Bethesda RPGs after getting burned hard by Starfield. But I have a hard time imagining even they could fuck up a simple remastering of a game I already loved in the past.

An entire town of dead people. It was hilarious.

I see you also follow the life philosophy of, “if you’re not on at least one watch list, are you even really living?” :D

I still remember my first playthrough. Low level character. I save scummed until I could sneak into the tower in the heart of the Imperial City. In the council chamber was a mage with an incredibly powerful staff. I pickpocketed it off of him, again using save scumming. I then traveled to Bravil and entered the castle there. As the Count of Bravil was giving a speech, I pulled out the staff and zapped him dead on his throne, right in front the of the whole court. I then got away from the assassination through the brilliant escape plan of running out the front door, murder weapon still in hand.

Damn I loved Oblivion.

Muuuuurrddeeerrr!!!

What makes you feel you’ll never be able to medically or socially transition? Ultimately you only have one life to live, and that life is too short to spend it living a lie.

How long do you think it will be until he’s laying hands on you?

IDK how to feel about rising video game prices. On the one hand, prices were stagnant for decades. On the other hand, companies can sell far more copies of games than they could back in the 1980s and 1990s. The cost of games is all in the development. The more you sell, the cheaper the price can be. They cost next to nothing to package and distribute (or are distributed digitally.)

On one hand, games are a lot more complex and expansive than they were back in the day. On the other, game devs now have tools the creators of old couldn’t even dream of. No one is hand coding the next Mario game is assembly.

There’s a lot of variables here. And it’s really just hard to make a fair judgment about it.

I’m telling you, don’t mess around with magical tricksters. If you can’t pay OP back, he’ll probably take your soul, your first born child, your name, or some other demonic shit like that. Don’t make a deal with Rumpelstiltskin, he will find a way to collect!

I just try to avoid deals with magical beings of any kind. It never ends well. Thank you, but I’m more than capable of saving for retirement slowly with a regular retirement account. I don’t care what the consequences may or may not be. I don’t fuck around with magic.

I refuse to accept it. I don’t make deals with magical tricksters. Same reason I don’t fuck around with genies. It’s just not worth it man.

Swiss government bonds.

It’s called being a realist. If you want to live in denial, fine. But I’m not going to sugarcoat things. Maybe I’m just a pessimist, but that pessimism has proven a far better predictor of future events than rose-tinted visions such as yours.

They will simply pass this bill next year. That has been the continual pattern with these laws. What was a step too far and abominable last year is normalized and acceptable this year.

Don’t copy that floppy!

“Earth like,” in the same way Venus is “Earth like.” The universe will torment us by showing just how creative it can be in conjuring new and ever-more imaginative visions of Hell. We will have to scour a billion star systems before we find a world even marginally habitable to life of our kind.

I assume it’s because it’s run entirely off of a single old zip disk drive manufactured in 1998.

Do you…need a hug?
