Excellent joke. No notes.

That’s okay. In a year or two they’ll call it a “cult classic” and make another anyway.

Ideal: “Oh wow! I could hang out with friends in my dreams! Conversations on the moon!!”

Reality: “You’re late”

Bonus: “We don’t have to pay them anything because they’re not physically at work!”

Thanks for saying something because I read it as “Farts Peed” and was concerned.

I knew we were in trouble when that damn… that egg commercial. That guy. I knew that was… the government’s take on drugs, you know, were fucked. Believe me. “Here’s your brain.”

I’ve seen a lot of weird shit on drugs. I’ve never ever ever EVER EVER looked at an egg and thought it was a fuckin’ brain. Not once. Alright? I have seen UFOs split the sky like a sheet, but I have never, ever, ever looked at an egg and thought it was a fuckin’ brain… NOT ONCE. I have had seven balls of light come off of a UFO, lead me onto their ship, explain to me -telepathically - that we are all one and there is no such thing as death, but I have never ever ever ever looked at an egg… and thought it was a fuckin’ brain.

Now… Maybe I wasn’t getting good shit.

It’s only been “irrelevant” because of the poor reception to Sims 4. The Sims was the first great “life sim” game, and the 3rd installment added a crazy amount of content. That’s all we wanted. More stuff to decorate with and places for our Sims to explore. Nah, Sims 4 took away the variety and added paywalls and multiplayer and was just generally a poor experience.

For anyone holding out hope for #5, this is on par with Blizzard announcing their smartphone diablo game. EA killed this franchise, and yeah I’m a little sad about it.

The classic Stop’n’Drop! Later than prophesied, but what a time to be alive.

As another longtime Vi user - I had a hell of a time & wound up switching back lol

I think for a lot of folks Helix would be intuitive. Vi has her hooks in me, though.

Oh. I know. But you don’t understand - I’m compelled to type it out. I must.

clear. Constantly, and for no reason.

Thank you for the write-up!!

The thing is - there is no evidence of sexual misconduct. He’s been investigated by just about everyone from local cops to the FBI since the early 90s, and despite the outcry there’s never been evidence. Considering how our justice system dealt with another high-profile figure’s history of sexual abuse, I have to believe something concrete would’ve turned up by now.

Inappropriate? Absolutely. Illegal? Pedophilia? Doubtful. I mean, provided we genuinely believe in “Innocent until proven guilty” ideal…

“Covenant” and “Prometheus” would’ve been killer movies to kick off a new IP.

I might be the old man shouting at clouds, but I’ve been turned off to all franchise “reboots”. Just sick of rehashes and revisits and the cute little “winks” these movies do to the previous installments.

Notes while I’m watching:

1. The “vibe” is different - in my head I translated this to “he likes the GUI more”
2. Minetest has zero “story” / progression (so no Ender Dragon to gear up for & fight) - it’s purely a sandbox experience.
3. better performance, apparently runs on potato laptops pretty well
4. Mods are built-in, and don’t require tools like Forge or whatever to tweak a jar file ⬅️ THIS is cool!
5. Customization via the Settings menu

The “built-in support for mods” caught my eye. That’s pretty slick, and a headache with MC.

tl;dr - it runs on just about everything, and focuses on giving the player an easy-to-mod “sandbox” to play in.

Gotta brush up on the ol’ powershell

One day I hope to write a “go fuck yourself” email of this caliber.

That sounds awesome.

It’d be cool to get enough of 'em together to start a decent Lemmy community.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
