Honestly, if it doesn’t involve practical satelites, rockets, or somehow harvesting more raw solar energy or something, fuck the space tech and the space race. It is a fucking waste of resources built on romanticizing breaking away from Earth. It’s not happening. Travel times are too long and fuel costs too high. There is nothing particularly useful on the moon. There is nothing particularly useful on Mars. And before anyone suggests the bullshit that is terraforming, how about we start with terraforming our own planet and unfucking deforestation, desert expansion, melting ice caps, etc.

Here in the US, there was a rumor going around for a while that Taco Bell meat was horsemeat. Dunno if it was ever verified or debunked. My own opinion was just, “If it’s horsemeat, then I guess horsemeat is delicious.” Even if it were true, I couldn’t have cared any less than I already did.

Worth $4. May not be worth completion, but worth $4. Play till you get bored then never return. Prepare for shitty character model textures and empty planets full of nothing.

I joined World of Warcraft during the Legion expansion at the behest of my friend. I’d known about WoW for a long time and how popular it was. So I was very, very surprised to find that it’s UI was, frankly, utter fucking dogshit, that most all of the community modded it, and ony just fucking now is WoW finally trying to make some actual attempt to fix the shit themselves. And all of this pretty much fed into my opinion on WoW and many MMOs in general prior to true action MMOs: they are overrated, clunky crap, and I am astounded so many people put up with the shit rather than let it fall through the cracks and be left to rot, as it should. But then again, people still won’t stop preordering games after so many turn out dogshit, so… people are just gonna be people I guess.

I dun’ care. Shit’s delicious. Table salt got nothin on it.

Snowboarding Kids on the N64 was basically snowboarding meets Mario Kart. Was pretty fun.

Back when that South Park episode aired, where the kids are into rockband, but don’t care about Randy’s ability to play real guitar. Randy doesn’t get it. This is then compared to Kyle’s baby brother Ike who likes to watch Lets Play streamers but does not actually play the damn video games. Kyle doesn’t get it. To me, that’s when divergence between me and the next generation settled in. I do not understand the appeal of streamers. I do not want to watch people play games, I want to play games myself.

Since then, a number of other things have popped up, but that was basically the recognized turning point.

Like many, first came over with the big reddit wave when Reddit changed API policy. It did not stick right away. It would take three attempts of getting into Lemmy and Sync making an app for it. I still use reddit for some videogame specific subs but otherwise I’v stopped looking at /all on reddit and will just browse here instead.

Part of me wonders from time to time how the game is doing. But I played enough of it at the time that I’m pretty done with it. Was a Swain main. I got Lulu when she came out and then I think I left a little after that.

Bro, like, literally, that just seems kinda harsh, man.
