That is the translation I’ve seen, so kudos! It’s Marth’s default taunt voice line. I got really used to hearing it back in the day, usually interrupted as my cockiness got punished.

Yoshi and Marth. In summary, I am what they call a “basic bitch.” Minna, miteite kure

Stay here and enjoy the Crab Rangoon. I’ll be right back.

If you loved the first one, you’ll love the second. They really didn’t make any huge changes so you have something to look forward to when you do bite the bullet. Most of the changes are QoL improvements and a new story in a new map with new groups. A good scratch for my AAA itch.

And playing solo. This is actually the first time I’ve played after the multiplater update, so I’ve always played solo. The few gaming people I know would probably rather play CoD or Helldivers, so I don’t expect to try mp for a while. Still fun solo though. Recommend if you like open world survival craft. It’s a bit unpolished due to a tiny dev team (I want to say they are all the way to 6 devs now, started as 2) but fun nonetheless.

Switching between Horizon Forbidden West and The Planet Crafter.

Horizon I’ve meant to play for a while, and finally got stuck into it. Most of the way through, but like all these open world games there’s a ton to do, so I’ve got a bit to go.

Planet Crafter I haven’t played for the last few updates, so I’m enjoying exploring the new biomes and getting a sweet base built in a new file.

“Now cough…”

Man, those guys get more relevant every year

Ugh, dammit Hitchcock put your shirt back on

Fuck you those 3-year-old wounds barely healed

This was exactly my experience with Destiny and Overwatch. Played until burnout doing my daily chores and weekly tasks, barely getting in enough time to do everything plus enough other stuff to make me still feel engaged with the game. Spent a good amount on micros because the FOMO was real and carefully implemented. After burning out on Destiny, I realized I hated the game design and business model because the game design was a business model. Now microtransactions are a glaring red flag for me, instead of a yellow one. I even avoid online multiplayer games because almost all of them use these tactics.

Just not very interesting. Most people just don’t show much interest in me beyond work buddy status, and work is pretty much the entirety of my social life. Down-side of moving to a new area. Making friends as an adult is hard, dating doubly so when there’s no one to introduce you to new people.

But historically the hardest part for me is expressing anything that can’t be back-pedalled into “just meant as a friend, buddy.” The second you cross that line, nothing will ever be the same for better or for worse. I hate committing to that change. Just feels like I’m ruining things irreparably every time. I’ll toe that line all day, crossing is just a bitch.

That single orange brain cell is just dinging around in there like a pinball trying to figure it out

Absolutely agree about BotW. I’m barely getting into it (only 800 more korok seeds to go…), and I really enjoy it as a game, but it feels more like a great game set in Hyrule than it does a Zelda game. I think they strayed a bit too far from the formula on it. I miss going into a temple, finding a bunch of stuff I can’t do anything with, getting an item, using that item to solve all the puzzles I couldn’t do anything about, then using the skills that gave me to beat the boss with that item. I miss permanent items that are given incrementally and give a feeling of progression as more of the world opens up to you as a result. BotW feels like it gave me all my items at the beginning, handed me an open world, and said, “Have fun.”

I am having fun. Just not Zelda fun.

I mean, it’s good to know the publicly published numbers are exaggerated but I know my Steam library and I am absolutely part of the problem. Even factoring sales I’m probably at $500 easy

Push down gently on the exposed bit of card next time. It presses the chip up into more solid contact. Usually the culprit is a slight bend in the card from the wallet.

Everyone who looked at how much money WoW was pulling in without having to churn out game after game and figured out why

I know that you will

Bruh the “propaganda” is Republicans opening their own mouths

Lmao apple is the same company that points their heat sink fans at the glue that holds the entire MacBook together. Do some deep dives on their hardware. You only get what you pay for if you pay for the logo, which is the case for most Apple users.

I’ve had Mac, I’ve had Windows, and I still prefer present day enshittified fucking Microsoft. Apple only “pays off” if you utilize their entire connectivity suite which, spoiler alert, is just as bad an idea as Google-ifying your entire life except it’s also more expensive. MacBook + iPhone + Apple Music + Apple Video + iCloud is the ecosystem they want you to live in, and they put in a ton of effort to make that the only viable option if you use their products. Everything is proprietary, and they control the prices. You think that laptop charger on their site is worth $100? It is to you, because you need it to charge your shit and theyre the only ones who sell them. Any other machine would have the same hardware for $20-$50. People who buy Apple products are a) power users whose idea of computer capabilities is about 15 years old and b) people who buy Apple because everyone else has them. Better products exist. If you think your manufacturer of choice is the objective best at everything it does, you need to stop drinking the Flavor-Aid. I don’t care what manufacturer, but Apple is the worst offender by far of this.

Cut the umbilical cord. Free yourself.
