yeah, text doesn’t just float around dogs like that

I feel bad for calling in sick because my department is horrifically understaffed and 1 person not showing up for work increases the workload of everyone else by about 50%. And since it’s a hospital, it’s not like we can just continue working like normal and let the company eat the profit loss; if our department is not working at 100% then innocent people’s health suffers.

I mean, if they get mad that you’re not using your full power then they deserve to get styled on. They asked for it, lol.

'94, I grew up being told I was a millenial, now people scoff and inform me that I am actually a ZILLENIAL

it’s all made up

Am I the only one who can still have fun while dialing it back a bit? Just “fumble” a few times, fall behind intentionally, and then use your skill to catch back up. If you can’t catch up, your friends win and have fun. If you do catch back up, your friends think it was a close game. Either way you get to flex and nobody thinks you’re a sweaty tryhard and we all get to have fun.

This is a stretch that my doctor told me to do to ease the symptoms of tendonitis in my right thumb/wrist. I guess maybe if I did it fast enough it might be dangerous, but I was literally told to do this often by a medical professional lol

Clunky but still fun. It ends up being a mostly mouse-based UI if you’re like me and constantly forget which deck button is mapped to which hotkey (it doesn’t help that there are 3x as many hotkeys as there are steam deck buttons), and you’re going to want to use the trackpad as your mouse. As a result I ended up feeling a lot of strain in my right hand while playing in handheld mode just from the sheer amount of APM my poor thumb was burdened with while the rest of my right hand was supporting the weight of the deck. The game runs like a dream though.

I do this, but I like to respond with a loud and sudden “WHAT” which is probably less funny and more obnoxious but it usually gets a laugh

best we can do is release 1 new animal per year that does nothing (out of 3 options we present to you, you’ll never see the other 2 tho) and one new cosmetic block that does nothing. but maybe if you ask nicely we’ll spend all year making the sky box taller. we’re a small indie dev pls understand

microsoft money? sorry we spent it all creating a microtransaction store for dance emotes

Chromebooks are pretty cheap, and basically made for college students to take notes and watch youtube. You can dual boot linux on them pretty easy.

In a fit of nostalgia I bought Yugioh: Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution. I watched the original show as a kid and played the game at recess, but never went any further than that. The game was on sale for a couple bucks on steam.

I gotta say, this is a great amount of content for the price (again, I bought it for like 5 bucks). You can play through the show’s storyline (every season) with all of their dumb little decks, and after every duel, you unlock a “reverse duel” where you can do the same fight but from the antagonist’s perspective. If you complete all of the duels involving a particular character, you unlock their “challenge duel” where they use a themed meta deck with actual combos and interesting win conditions. Because this game has every season of the TV show, there’s at least a hundred different characters you can fight like this. Every time you win a duel you get some of your opponent’s cards and money to make your own custom deck. The online is dead though, which is fine, I’m just playing this to relive my childhood watching the show.

I’ve been kinda hooked, even though I haven’t been a Yugioh fan since 4th grade. I feel like a kid again. I just wish the Pokemon TCG or Magic: the Gathering had a modern game with a story mode like this.

I’m gonna make my own (thing)! With blackjack! And hookers!.. In fact, forget the (thing)!

it can be used in so many contexts and the last line usually gets a laugh.

as someone who religously read the whole thing as it was updated, it’s not worth reading

I really wish Baldur’s Gate 3 had a shared party inventory. It’s already partway there, I can still move a potion from Astarion’s inventory to Shadowheart’s inventory now matter how far apart they are. It’d just be nice if I could save a few minutes of inventory sorting if everyone just pulled from one mega inventory that added everyone’s encumberence together. The way its implemented now just adds several unneccessary steps that don’t even matter because of the magic pocket system.

They will never release Mother 3.

this is very ominous without the image

Nope! There is literally nothing connecting them. Each game is a different story in a different setting. In many cases, they can be a completely different genre of videogame.

It’s unfortunate that the character development and stories in FF3 and FF5 are subpar, because their class systems are phenomenal. Vice versa for FF4 and FF6, which had great characters and stories but pretty boring character progression/customization IMO. It’s like Square could only do one or the other, not both.

Man, I loved the beginning of Homestuck. But the second half of Homestuck starts to get a little too convoluted for my tastes, and then it decides to go up its own ass about how convoluted it has become and then intentionally becomes a parody of itself to the detriment of its own story. And then it has a sudden and anticlimactic nothingburger ending after literal years of waiting. Bleh. What could have been.

Problem Sleuth is sick tho. Honestly THAT was Andrew Hussie’s magnum opus. Homestuck was like when George Lucas made the prequels and nobody was allowed to say “no” to him, lol.

BG3, yes it’s as good as everyone is saying it is.

Also Pikmin 4. The game is a cozy puzzle/strategy collect-a-thon, I highly recommend it.
