A lot of people are saying depression (which is true) but I’d also like to throw in stress. I like reading and playing strategy games, but I’m sometimes so stressed that I can concentrate enough to do these things. It helps to have some easy, no brain hobbies as well to help get started with relaxation, so you’re able to enjoy your main hobby after you feel a bit better
That’s just crazy talk. Pokémon Blue is my favourite, although I’ve only played up to gen 4 (Diamond, I think is the name). It’s not as good as the previous generations and the physical special split is just weird IMO. I’m sure that’s an unpopular opinion for people who are used to playing like that though, I think it would make more sense to me if it was how it had always been. Abilities were a neat addition though, I’ll give you that
That’s what it is. It’s gloves for feet (and regular socks are mittens for feet)
I thought the first two were jokes until I saw the Mars poster which I recognise
I was going to say burn it too.
My experience in the UK is similar. I’ve never had a good experience with a police officer, and I’ve been profiled for the clothes I wear, but I’ve also never been scared of a police officer (especially never scared for my life). I probably wouldn’t ask an officer for help, but I would also treat them like a person rather than a rabid dog who might just decide to shoot me
Give me an hour and I’m sure I could find a counter-example
Seal giving a ride to a lobster was my guess
I was ordering based on my favourite, rather than what order to play them. I phrased it ambiguously.
But why that order? Gateway to Glimmer is my favourite because the world feels so much more open with being able to swim, and then (spoilers) especially when you can swim underwater.
I’m actually going to change my ranking and put Spyro to Dragon as second best, because it has some really cool level designs like Treetop Village and the Magic Crafter’s homeworld. Also the neh-neh-neh-neh-nehs (blue thieves).
Spyro 3 is also very good too
I’m slightly ashamed to admit that I went back to Worms Armageddon as an adult and found it too difficult to be enjoyable. I know I’m out of practice now but I have to assume I just didn’t mind constantly losing to the AI when I was younger…
Original Spyro trilogy (Gateway to Glimmer first, Year of the Dragon second, Spyro the Dragon third. Although they are all so good it’s hard to choose an order.) The first two games were a part of my childhood, I think they both came with the console when my sister and I bought it. £20 second hand from Game with three games I think, we each saved up to pay half. Very cool worlds to run around and explore, especially Treetop Village I think it’s called (the supercharge level from Spyro the Dragon). I love these collect-them-all games where you know where everything is - it’s very comforting to me. And skateboarding and playing as Sparx in Year of the Dragon still feels special, because it’s the one game I didn’t own as a kid.
Crash Team Racing is the ultimate carting game IMO. “Start your engines for a Sony Computer Entertainment Europe production! Fasten your seatbelts for another Naughty Dog creation! Bwam bah bah bamp, bah da dam da da da dum”. Absolutely iconic loading screens and music. I don’t think I’ve ever beat the campaign mode completely, but it’s a lot of fun. Several years since I’ve played now, which is a bit of a shame. My PlayStation needs to be repaired but no-one near me has the expertise and I didn’t want to go inside and make things worse…
Hogs of War was on a demo disc I had and it seemed quite fun, but I never got to experience the full version.
I seem to remember Driver 2 being challenging but cool, but not much else other than those two emotions.
Final shout-out to Worms Armageddon.
Edit: actually, final final shout-out to that boat racing game. Hydro Thunder maybe? I played it at a friend’s house then spent years searching for it again in a cool games shop that another friend now owns (never would have guessed that when I was a kid!). I don’t think I ever found it though…
Factorio has extracted £60 from me for the base game and new DLC! I’ve only played 2100 hours, that’s almost £0.03 per hour. Complete bullshit how expensive everything is now…
/s Factorio is very good
Almost
Memories are what get wacky. The main character (as well as the aliens who “arrive”) can remember the future as well as the past due to learning the alien language. It’s based on the possibly-not-linguistically-sound Sapir-Wharf hypothesis that says the language you speak influences the way you think. The aliens use a circular rather than linear writing system so they think of time in a non-linear way
How strong are those spiders that they destroyed an entire castle??!
Imprisonment would also deal with the “hating brown people” part.
You can have a pull cord in the bathroom or a switch outside, as I understand it
Me after eating a hot curry:
Raging high dump percentage
lemmynsfw. Nudity and dirty language everywhere. It’s no place for a good upstanding Christian to be
I can buy a new toaster from the shop, why can’t I buy a woman too? Does this mean Gamers are pro sex-work? Or pro indentured servitude for women more likely…
