Just got back from a date and it confirmed for me that I cannot date. Certainly not now, maybe not ever again. I’m absolutely emotionally unavailable. I just want to be back with my ex. It’s too bad, this person was cute and really into me, we agreed to a 2nd date already because I hadn’t processed some of the feelings yet but it all came up on my way home. Going to have to figure out how to let them down kindly, promptly.

I guess almost half a year isn’t enough time to get over such a long term relationship with a longer term friend. I want to just give up on everything.

Lovecraft had some big-brained 600 IQ views on race I will never understand.

And I semi-ironically love him for that. I love reading Lovecraft not because his stories are scary — they aren’t — but because it’s hilarious to read them knowing they come from the perspective of a white guy who is grappling with anxiety that the White Race may not in fact be the masters of all creation. Reading them from that perspective makes a lot of it funny. Like oh, what’s so horrible is that he realized he’s not at the top of the world. Normal people already know that.

Approximate time for Faust?

ukkk just because I almost never see a good take from feddit.uk users anyway. The good ones can or should just join Hexbear anyway, or Lemmygrad if they want more federation

I’ve been using the em dash a lot — decades! — due to influence from reading a lot of classics from the 1800s when I was a child, and I do it with the spaces around it for visibility, readability, and clarity. The spaces don’t give anything away.

Just very short sessions but in that case I decide the game just isn’t worth it. The very act of getting motion sick from it makes me not want to play a game.

I could probably try zofran or some other anti motion sickness medication, but I don’t want yo have to take medicine just to play a videogame

Hades: extremely queer.

Damn. Why can’t I ever lathe something good?

Blue Prince is cool but spooky and made me motion sick.

I still haven’t gotten around to playing the original Oblivion so idk why I would bother with a remake. I have not generally found remakes or remasters to be worth it at all because part of the charm of the games is their art style and jankiness, historical snapshot in the time of a game remake. Thank fuck Remedy never decided to make a Max Payne (yes I know ACAB but I have a weakness for noir, it’s so good) remake because the janky graphics are part of it.

I tried the Spyro remake and preferred the original – they butchered the art style. These older games made good use of the fuzziness and lower resolution to evoke a sense of grandeur and opportunity. Adding too much detail and resolution actually robs from them. I worry about that with Oblivion. I think Demons Souls is the only good remaster I’ve seen and part of that is just that it made such big quality of life improvements to inventory management.

I have 0 interest in The Doors but Val Kilmer was fantastic in Top Secret – should I watch it for him or is this going to be absolutely nothing like that performance?

Could the baguettes be phallic imagery?

On the one hand this is bad, on the other hand the saber rattling over Kashmir is a time-honored. tradition at this point. war is off the table.

Dude wrote a book about theh raw egg diet.

RIP, cutie <3

I sympathize greatly with the feeling of not wanting another pet. It’s been 6 years since my budgie died and I still can’t get another one – I just want him back. Animals really do have such unique and special personalities. They’re just as much individual irreplaceable people as we humans are

OK, $1800 cash then.

Inshallah this guy gets his identity stolen via that faucet

For real. You’d have to pay me $1800 to let some smart faucet into my kitchen.

Skill issue. It’s not fair that this failson can just burn $1800 on an inferior product while normal people go hungry.

Approximate start time for Tokyo fist?

Haven’t seen it before but it’s a good one

your argument is based in idealist moralism, not actual material analysis. your moral condemnations are admirable but entirely useless and a typical example of liberal westoid smugness and edgy circlejerling.
