I feel called out so badly here. I have so many started and unfinished stories I could drown myself in paper by printing them all out. At least that's what it feels like.
In my opinion ( haven't played or really seen the DLCs, so I'm just talking about base game ), Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
Definitely had ups and downs when I did my only playthrough. Absolutely middle of the road compared to the official games ( completed gen 3, part way through gens 4-7 ) I have played and still even middle of the road compared to some of the fan games I've played over the years.
If you're like me and either don't have enough space or don't like moving a normal computer mouse around, a good trackball mouse is probably gonna be real good.
I originally got a cheap enough ergonomic wireless Logitech one from walmart for my then new laptop I got for college. Then, just maybe a month or two ago, I got an ergonomic one from Elecom to replace my standard mouse because it was having some click problems and scroll wheel issues. The only problem I have with either is how the ball on the Elecom one doesn't always move super smooth and I can't be as precise as I can with the Logitech one.
I personally think AROS ( AROS Research Operating Syste ) is pretty cool. Same with just the basic Amiga Workbench 3 series ( the only one I have any experience with ).
Obviously Amiga Workbench isn't daily driver ready, but neither is AROS since it's, from what I can tell, just an Amiga OS passion project trying to make a more modern more open source Amiga OS.
I know it's a late answer, but I'm joining up with a club I've never really interacted with at the community college I attend to join a local pride parade. I may not be part of their community in terms of my sexuality, but support is definitely important for them, now more than ever.
To a degree. I'm the type of person who doesn't wanna interrupt people in a conversation if I need something from them and I absolutely hate that. Definitely should work on being a little more assertive some day in the future.
I use things like "excusé moi" for when I burp/belch and when alone and thinking out loud to myself will slip on random words I know from other languages if I end up on a random tangent. Otherwise, I tend not to.
No. Not even close to financially stable as a college student in his mid-20s.
Also, if I did want kids, I think I'd rather adopt than bring a child into a world that is dying and end up not being able to ensure they have a future that doesn't end in apocalypse.
I think my all time favorite as of now is still Taiwanese singer Jam Hsiao and I have seen him live 0 times because he hasn't come tour America. And there's no way he'd be coming over now because it doesn't matter if he's famous or not, I guarantee he'd probably be deported to jail in South America just for being Asian.
Vibe coding ain't any different from going to any website in the world, copying whatever code you can find, and then wondering why your PC has been infected with ransomware because you're too dumb to understand what any of the code does.
It's also extremely unprofessional, in my opinion, and, also in my opinion, shows you don't understand a programming language enough to be using it in a professional setting ( for software regardless of whether it's private or public use ) whilst also being too lazy to read any form of documentation.
Anyone who calls themselves an"vibe coder" are people I assume never passed kindergarten because clearly they lack any form of critical thinking.
Technically I don't think there's a tutorial level per say as much as there is a tutorial set of levels, but Baba Is You.
The game starts off with only the controls on how to move and teaches you about how you can change the rules of the level to beat it if it isn't possible normally, without explaining anything. Just from you exploring and testing different things. The only other time you'll ever see any other form of level hint is maybe in the level names or if you end up in a position where you have to undo or restart the level from breaking the " [ object ] is you " rule in some way.
A lot of the game before you escape the testing track, minus maybe the point you are told about momentum jumps, feel like one big tutorial without even realizing you're in one. It's done very well.
As an adult I can attest to some vehicles being way too damn high up for their own good. I'm slightly below average height for my area and while out shopping I walked by a truck with a grill that came up above my height. If the driver was in and decided to get rolling, there would definitely have been a good chance of I was directly in front of it that I'd be in the hospital.
If the drive would be unable to see me when I'm right up against the grill, a small child would probably stand no chance a few feet away. The people with vehicles like that definitely should to stop stroking their 1mm peter like it's a 2 footer and think of other people's safety.
Probably not the weirdest by a long shot, but I absolutely love having leftover dinner for breakfast because I'm not a big breakfast food fan.
One of my favorites is if there's leftover homemade mac and cheese, I'll take some and heat it. Then I'll put some on a tortilla and then add ketchup. Roll it up and I will gladly devour it.
Probably Sonic Mega Collection because it really got me into platformers and made me into a Sonic fan. Kinda solidified my taste in games a little as I'll gladly take a family friendly platformer like Sonic or other titles like Ty the Tasmanian Tiger or Yooka-Laylee over an online PVP game like any call of duty because Sonic taught me to love platformers more, even to this day.
Also kinda solidified the fact that I'd rather casually play through a lot of games and not be that guy who tries to be perfect at a game. That caused me to get where I am today where I'll play co-op in a game but avoid full-on PVP with a random group of people because I know they'll mop the floor with me and I'd just end up quitting before giving the game a fair shot.
I choose to be delusional and let things play out a little further before saying everything is fucked. If we just gave up now and accepted it's dead, then they'll make sure it's dead. If we hold hope and keep protesting ( even the violent ones ) something might change.
Maybe not quite that old, but old enough that the really soft blanket I got for Christmas was the highlight. Even over the real nice headphones I got that I've fallen in love with.
Though, I was recently thinking of getting myself a couple towels all for myself and was kinda excited at the prospect of having my own couple towels my family can't use, so maybe I'm nearly there.
A spider community because I ain't about that life as an arachnophobic person.
A bunch of minecraft communities because I completely ditched the game after they decided that Java players aren't allowed to use adult words anymore on their private single player worlds and also because of the whole chat thing where all messages you send are linked to your specific account.
Entomology because I don't fuck with bugs.
A few different AI communities because I try to avoid AI if possible.
A community about dicks and dick pics. Not my cup of tea and I don't feel like seeing them on any feed since I don't blur NSFW images.
Those are just a few. The rest are minor things or other communities that are the same thing essentially, but on different instances.
I personally make a guess depending on certain games as to how long I've played them. I've definitely lost track of how long I've played certain games ( especially on console ) like Borderlands or Sonic Unleashed on xbox360. Especially since I never wrote any of that kinda stuff down in middle/high school because I didn't care how long I had been playing in total.
Though, I will say that I like and dislike how Steam tracks your progress in playing games. I was roughly 4-6 minutes off of playing for 2 hours in order to buy some game related account themes but now I'm 2.7 hours in accoring to them because I ended up leaving it on in the background. In the future, I'm not gonna remember I did that, so I'll assume I actually played all that time. There's no nuance in their monitoring. If the game runs, so does their meter of how long it's been on, regardless of you playing or not.
Though, I assume a good solution would be using any form of note taking program and jotting down your play times and dates and any other notes you want. Or using a spreadsheet with that same information. As long as you don't lose that/those file(s), depending on what solution(s) you choose to take, it should be fine as long as you actually remember to do it and aren't lazy about that, like I would be.
I feel called out so badly here. I have so many started and unfinished stories I could drown myself in paper by printing them all out. At least that's what it feels like.
