Then organic organism organizing.

Thank you. I’m not actually that old-school, but back in the day, the only directions that mattered were the changes. “Turn right on the dirt road, and follow it for about 35 miles. Turn right at the crazy magenta and black diner…”

I’m sorry, I wasn’t paying attention. What were you saying?

That’s… some different issues. I think your phone/vehicle/GPS might actually be haunted. Do you know of any exorcists?

Woah, that’s crazy. I was specifically thinking of I-25! Though it does it with other roads and highways as well…

Yes, it is. I use it every day to visit multiple locations. My personal pet peeve is when it displays “In 1.5 miles, continue straight”. On a road where there’s no changes in that distance. That’s not part of the directions, that’s just continuing. Not only is it unhelpful because I can’t not do this “step”, but I can’t see the next, actual step, which could be “In 200 ft, turn left” and won’t know which lane to be in.

I can’t prove it, but I think at some point they applied an automatic algorithm that added intermediate steps to all their routing (for when a road curves a certain way, etc), but it was too aggressive and not human-reviewed.

He sucked their dicks, but did he suck their hearts?

They are usually very aligned with management, and try to obscure that…

I’m “soft boycotting” Ubisoft. By which I mean they haven’t made a game I’m willing to buy in years…

🤷‍♂️ They should have let me pet Melon…

And schematics!

“Hello! Why are you shitty and want your cat to destroy the local bird population and then (statistically) have their life cut short? Much love, Your Neighbor”

EDIT: Downvote all you want but these facts are true:

1. Cats decimate bird populations when they are loose.
2. Indoor cats live longer, healthier lives.

If you love your pets (obviously not talking about barn cats that technically have a job, but housecats), you’ll do what’s best for them.

Now. Wiggle your big toe.

You’ve never just taken a neat chomp out of a friendly cat’s ear?

If I was in that room, nothing would stop me from petting that sweetheart! It would be like a John Wick movie: me killing henchmen left and right in slow-motion as I make my way closer to the Melon kitty for head scritches…

Hey, that was a weird comment, huh? But she is so gentle and pure! ❤️

As another example, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the best game ever made, in my opinion. But there’s a laughable amount of glitches in it and speedrunners can easily tear the game apart. So it’s not perfect. It’s also old and the graphics are dated. If it were somehow still supported today, there would be a high-resolution texture pack released, no doubt about it…

Wow, AAA publishers really did a number on us all, huh? Think of them as “expansions”. The game was absolutely complete on 1.0 and you can still get that version! I have most of my time playing the game on v1.0.

The developer then added more content to the game, for free. The bug fixes have been pretty minor and would have happened with paid updates or without, like any modern game…

There’s farming and fishing, tons to collect and craft and upgrade, there’s dungeons, there’s relationships and rare items, and variety of play in the seasons and festivals… But for me, my favorite thing is just how damn charming it all is. The soundtrack is great and atmospheric, even the sound effect of just chopping down a tree is so perfect and satisfying. And IMO, there’s no game that’s a better example of “play at your own pace”. It’s pretty cheap and appeals to such a wide variety of gamers… So give it a try!

Ha, good catch. Damn you autocorrect!
