My go to site which has most of what I’m looking for is still up. So much for that lmao.

Stellaris, Rimworld, the Sims, and a lot of stragedy games.

Scaphism, but specifically for corrupt politicians.

The thing with a lot of the methods mentioned is that I’ve seen both teens that are more mature than me, and people in their thirties that should probably have their internet privileges revoked.

EVE always fascinated me, but at the same time how beginner unfriendly I’ve heard it is + feeling like I’ll probably not last long before I get killed off makes me wary of trying it.

If Outer Wilds counts as AA, then I’ll nominate that next (even if I still need to finish it)

Sounds like a you problem.

People get really upset over a hypothetical. I don’t like posts that put all men down, but this wasn’t one of them.

Also bears generally mind their own business as long as you keep your distance, with statistically less than one person per year dying from a bear attack in America. The last time it happened in my state was several years ago and due to some dumbass intentionally getting close to it to take photos.

Is there anything with Japanese? It’s the language I’ve been learning (I took a class and have been wanting to study it further), but not all language learning apps have it.

I think it’s just everywhere now. I see it on Tumblr too.

Unfortunately, even our most advanced ones are more limited than a lot of people think and have a high rejection rate of around 44% that’s never talked about. Some do genuinely like them, but many say they still prefer the relatively simple body powered prosthetics, or none at all.

This could change as advancements are made, but as of now they’re a bit of a scam.

Hypnagogic hallucinations

Howl’s Moving Castle. Not that I didn’t enjoy the book, I just preferred the movie more.

Granted the author was quite young when he started the series (15) to when the first book got published (18, first self published then republished by an established publisher a couple years later). He’s came out with a new series recently, but I don’t know how much better it is.

And while I’m not saying the books are anything great, they’re still a far cry from the movie imo.

I would never play it myself so I’m not sure how much this counts, but there’s something about Garten of Banban that keeps drawing me back to it whenever a new episode drops. I’m well aware it’s just some shitty bottom of the barrel reaction streamer/theory crafting bait and it’s mostly me wanting to see where the train wreck goes, but I think I’m enjoying it on an ironic level too.

As someone who’s into a lot of VR stuff, the biggest problem is that it’s still a niche market that requires the consumer to be spending a lot on extra hardware in order to play it. Obviously the majority of studios would rather invest in something more people can play and therefore buy, and at most will maybe add a VR mode to their first person game. I’ve found VR modes and mods for games not initially developed for that sort of hardware to be more engaging and have more substance than most of the ones specifically made for it (and is most of the VR games I play), but being able to play in VR does enhance the experience imo depending on the game.

What do you mean? It’s a restaurant, they serve pizza and have a salad bar. I’ve been there a bunch of times as a kid. It’s a restaurant man, what are you talking about?

The Sims 4. It’s the worst game in the mainline series, but it has the best mods (which are the only thing making it playable) so I put up with it.

Granted a lot of the failures with Anthem was thanks to corporate meddling, like EA forcing them to switch to an engine mid development that wasn’t equipped for the game they wanted to make as they insisted on using something in-house, and then forcing them to release it in an unfinished and buggy state. Iirc the devs even cared about the project too, but once again EA ruins something.

I remember thinking it had some neat gameplay concepts from the footage I saw, it just needed more polishing.

I’m a female queer SA survivor if they ever try that bullshit on me lmao.

Wonder what will happen if we put Yandere Simulator’s code in there.
