Completely forgot this game existed. Who would willingly subject themselves to it?

It’s $1.99/month or $16.99/yr, which is waaayyy less than $3/month. Less than half that, if paid annually.

incredible 😂😂

Also, if you’re into pulpy sci-fi, the Avery Cates books are fun reads. Start with Electric Church.

Revelation Space! Yes, yes, yes! Pick them up and don’t look back.

So, UDP just sends it out there and anyone can intercept it?

if they’ll do this much for free, imagine what we can get for a couple packs of smokes.

Find a copy of a book called Burnout Society by Byung Chul Han. It isn’t about ADHD directly, but there are parts of the book that will be felt hardest by the neuro-divergent.

not to be a dick, but good riddance to anyone implying meta isn’t an unethical, monster of a corporation that is defined by it’s opportunism, serves only it’s own interests, and has forfeited any and all good faith it may once have had. trust them at your own peril, and go back to reddit.

i am going to tell you some universal truths.

1. first truth: you will not fully understand these truths. though i list them here clearly, you will still learn them the hard way.

2. do not compare yourself to others. regardless of how you measure their success, you will find only a brief moment of satisfaction upon outdoing them, followed swiftly by regret, insecurity, and, not long after that, emotional crisis.

3. financial and professional success are antithetical to happiness and fulfillment at least as often as they aren’t.

4. you can only ever know yourself. everyone’s life is a series of choices. only you can know what choices are the right ones for you. you cannot know anyone else’s choices. you cannot know if anyone else is making the right or wrong choices. you cannot know what motivates others. your dataset for anyone else is so incomplete as to prevent the drawing of any good conclusions. no good reason to compare yourself to anyone. but when you do, there’s no good reason to feel bad about it, or good about it, and certainly no good reason to feel bad instead of good.

5. what follows is a cliche, but it is not a cliche: your life begins now, and now, and now. you can only do something now. not back then and not in a bit. now. really understand this. if you’re not happy now, it’s because you keep doing things that make you unhappy. now, if you’re not happy now, it’s because you’re still not doing anything to make yourself happy. what are you doing to make yourself unhappy?

6. you’re making yourself unhappy. it’s not them making you unhappy. they might be doing things you’re not happy with, but you’re the one doing unhappiness. now, if you want to bank all your happiness and fulfillment on outdoing these people, that’s fine, but it’s going to be awhile. years, decades, you’re entire life, perhaps. but, don’t forget number 2: happiness can’t be found on this route. i wonder what it would look like, what choices you’d have to make, to be happy, and much sooner?

let me know how it goes. also, apologies for the length. it’s all stream of consciousness and i’m to lazy to edit.

homework: read The Tao of Pooh

beeners f/ kbin

im a beener, ur a beener. we’re all beeners.

anything in the changelog about making this game no boring?

you ever look in the mirror and realize you don’t look like the person you are?

Next-gen was broken from day one (xbox series s, in my case). It took months to get it to a reliable state. T-posing, broken missions, broken driving, terrible draw distance, progress resets, crowd/npc behavior. (Remember when it took them over a year to figure out how to make crowds behave realistically when a gun fight breaks out. Even then, most of them just dropped into a grab position with their hands above their hands, hiding behind nothing.) Even if we forget all of that, there’s still the frequent crashing, with no rhyme or reason. You never knew what was going to cause it, and it was months before it was mostly reliable.

It deserved the hate.
