conservatives fucked that up

That was a Conservative + Liberal special, both of them selling off our assets all over the place.

That game was so much more fun than reviewers made it out to be.

I don’t understand why people keep saying Elden Ring is so different from Dark Souls, because it’s really not different at all. I say this as someone who enjoys these games: if your issue with Dark Souls was the base gameplay loop and not the map, Elden Ring will not fix that.

I never made it out of the first zone. I was honestly shocked by how little I cared for it considering I made it through Jade Empire, but Origins just felt like Knights of the Old Republic and that game bored me too.

I mean most of the people shilling it probably were teens at the time they played it. It’s like Neon Genesis Evangelion: teenage drama that’s “deep”, but when you watch it as an adult it just doesn’t hit.

These people don’t seem to learn the lesson the game teaches you right from the start by having the asylum demon stomp your ass until you figure out you should try a different path.

One of the most emotional gaming experiences I ever had was Iji, a freeware game I happened upon while looking for something else. I did not expect that.

Prepare yourself for two playthroughs :)

Take a look at Ballionaire and Cloverpit if you enjoy Balatro.

Maybe you’d prefer Monster Hunter or Elden Ring combat.

Deus Ex and the Metal Gear Solid series both have some shockingly prescient plot points. In 2025 playing these is a trip.

lmao you better not be poking someone’s ass when you do that, might lose a finger

For the record bidets are pretty great though, but I went ahead and got a heated one because I am not a masochist.

Way to admit you either don’t have a job (workplaces use garbage tp) or you don’t clean your ass, which is disgusting but on brand.

This has “washing your ass is gay” vibes. Let me ask a question in language you will understand: how is spraying your ass with water more gay than rubbing and occasionally (accidentally) fingering your asshole every time you shit?

If you are afraid of the cold

I’m glad you mentioned this is for Americans because here in Canada calling the winter water “cold” is like saying the sun is “hot”. I can handle the cold water on my skin but shooting it directly at my butthole is not happening.

I’ll be sure to tell my brother (single parent) he can just leave his kid at home with the caretaker he can’t afford

I didn’t play Darkfall but I know people who did, and I was completely unsurprised when it failed the first time because it had the same problem as Ultima Online but much worse: the people engaging in PVE are the only ones actually taking any risks.

EVE has the same problem if you’re running high end gear or implants (people will always kill your escape pod in the hope of causing you this pain). The factors that are supposed to discourage random killing are easily subverted with only minor investment, and there is a culture of “milking tears” that has persisted even into what passes for adulthood for many of these people.

I honestly have concerns about recommending EVE, it has changed a lot including a lot more real-money transactions.

Wurm Online, Vintage Story, Eco, and some of the Minecraft servers (typically with “civilization” or somethong in the title) are all very crafting focused games. Beware that Wurm Online is a subscription game.

If you’ve got questions let me know: I haven’t played a lot of Eco and Minecraft civs yet but I understand the basics. I have a decent chunk of hours in Wurm and Vintage Story.

Its funny how much of the random PVP crowd still cries about Seamless Coop. I have been playing open PVP games since Ultima Online and frankly open PVP has never been fun. See the fans of this mechanic will say “well you’re just afraid to take risks carebear” but in reality they’re the ones closer to carebear mentality than the people running valuables through risky places. The victim is ironically the only person taking any real risk, because the attacker can choose their battles and take only equipment they’re willing to lose.

Once I figured this out I built myself to trick people into attacking me and then they’d find out I’m entirely specced for player killing, usually much too late to do anything about it. The tears from the people who call others carebears are the best tears of all.

My friend and I got into Wurm Online and we went way too hard doing this. Like to the point we managed to upset half the server (and I’m not exaggerating, there were many forum threads about us lol).

Has your friend ever tried EVE Online? I guess a better question follows: should they ever try EVE Online?

Sadly the movie only really communicates this with a line said almost in passing.

The original Rogue Squadron game has a mission where you fly the canyon path the way Luke did. Get gold on that and you’ll get an idea of just how good of a pilot Luke already is before he ever touches an X-Wing. And on the topic of the X-Wing, it is arguably the most advanced fighter ever made at that time, yet another untold portion of the movie that was intended to already be part of the lore lol.

Luke also used to shoot womprats while racing his T-16 around the canyons, and womprats are smaller than the Death Star’s exhaust port. Combine all that with his latent force power and the trench run is actually not a far fetched feat for him at all.
