What a great opinion piece. I couldn’t agree more with the author and hope democrats putting the gop feet to the fire. No reason why democrats have to be the “nice guys” always. Fuck that. I am just so tired of hypocrisy is this country and I’m even more sick of MAGA.

They’re probably just trying to appear to be doing good so that legislation doesn’t start looking at digital patents more closely

But now I have nostalgia for MySpace lol. Digg… not so much

Even just the article was making me feel strange emotions

Eh… I have a 500+ game library on GOG and moved back to Steam in 2020. Steam just has too many good features. I’m at the point where I don’t really care about DRM anymore. I know that’s an unpopular opinion but after 20+ years I realize it’s just a boogeyman.

Sounds like your music is pretty gay. Add some masculinity with It’s Raining Men or just jamming to some Village People.

Just wanna point out that at least in the 90s and early 2000s people would call everything they disagreed with gay, and it didn’t have anything to do with sexual preference.

My brother’s gay and still calls stuff he disagrees with gay. Used to do it myself all the time but stopped quite a long time ago.

Castlevania been making the cameo rounds a lot lately. Pretty cool.

Speaking for myself but in 1995 or whatever I didn’t even know what the term rendered was. Game looked cool but I liked Tex Murphy Under a Killing Moon for state of the art graphics lol

It was much more fun for me than the originals. Back then it was just about seeing how clear I could render the boobs on my voodoo 3Dfx. Teenager things

I remember that game with the purple box. When I was 13 I worked in a computer store and remember thinking the box was pretty cool.

I played it finally around 2010 but kind of bounced off since I had no idea what I was doing lol. I can see why it still has a following like HOMM

It’s been a while but I remember I was annoyed with something to do with having to find blood. I know that’s really stupid considering it’s a vampire game. Also the top down view i have a hard time with these days since I played so much Diablo 1+2 back in the day

I was really bad. So bad that I only played archery and even got archery class over level 30. My brother always tops the leaderboards and he came over one day and showed me how to play. Basically, make sure you’re in third person and we use either the battle axe or executioners axe. I’m now regularly at the top of the boards.

If you ever want to join up with us let me know. We do the 40 man mixed

Ah man you’re my age. Check out UFO 50. Second best ~$20 ($25) I’ve spent

Palworld is a lot of fun. Much different than a lot of survivals since I was never into Pokémon. Enshrouded I played on release for a little bit. Gonna sound weird but I the building turned me off a bit and the combat i felt a little awkward. I know a lot of people love it so it’s like a me thing.

Icarus is really cool. I refunded it initially because I felt it was janky but they have released an update every single week since launch. Picked it up again at the start of summer and I have like 300+ hours in it. It’s so good.

I bought it the very day it came out for no real reason and fell in love with it. Put about 500 hours in it before any updates happened. Played a little since then but those higher tier biomes are pretty brutal. Gonna wait until it’s 1.0 before jumping in again. Best $20 ever

Survival games are my jam. Colony builders and Chivalry 2 otherwise.

What are your favorite survivals? If I went with a top 3 it would probably be Icarus, Valheim and 7D2D

Valheim and Satisfactory are masterclass. GOAT simulator is good for 6 year olds. Raft was kind of dull be entertaining with multiplayer. V Rising I didn’t really care for, but haven’t played since it was first available on Steam

This absolutely happens in real life. Guy I worked with was at a large telecom company that liquidated in the 2000s. Dude was high up and had a beach house… you know, rich people stuff.

After the 2000s recession he had major trouble getting hired because he earned too much before and potential employers would think he would leave if they gave him a lower offer.

He ended up working for me building hydroponic farms for about a year making shit pay.

Uh, no.

Correctomondo. Got more shares and more grey hairs.
