Big feel. The only exception to this could be Destiny 2 or TESO since I have friends with whom it is/could be a fun weekend activity, but that's it. 😢
Online games are a grind as a working adult, and if you don't receive free onboarding.

I do not want to play a multiplayer game, I want to kill monsters alone.

I've stopped catching up on any US news. In fact, most news in general. My mental health has been so abysmal since 2024 that I can't afford putting it at risk no matter how much I'd like to stay informed, and how much I consider it my duty as a citizen. There can be no duty without a healthy citizen

So this is where the ancient Chinese/East Asian folklore of Yazi - aka the canine holding a sword in its mouth, aka the Pokémon Zacian - came from!

In completely other news, I watched a convoluted restoration video on a CP/M microcomputer and it was the most gimmicky, most interesting and sadly uselessly interesting thing occupying my brain space lately. How do you use sRAM based PCs nowadays except for text games?

Is it just me or are videogames having an era of obsession with feudal Japan? Also, virtually all of them have something with "shadows" in their title? I think it's a Freudian slip that Japan still gets stereotypically associated with ninjas. Beats me. Japan in Japanese is literally land of the sun.

How am I already 90hrs into Pathfinder: WOTR and haven't even finished 60% of the game, while I've seen reviewers finish the whole story in 70hrs and less? I'm either doing something very wrong... Or very right.

Randomly stumbled upon this dating advice for straight men, and I think it's great - However, not for finding a partner, but for keeping them. Literally *every* breakup in my friend circle that was initiated by the woman was when her male bf failed to be a reliable partner in a time of crisis.
A conversation I used to have with my little brothers was: showing how you will be if something goes wrong is a huge deal. Showing you choose calm, showing you know how to handle an unexpected bad feeling, showing you won't escalate situations and instead seek to de-escalate. It's huge.

My working theory of a lot of NT people is that they are far more rigid than autistic people, because I can generally explain things rationally to an autistic person and we can work out something, but many NT people will cling to rote acceptable behaviour they're not even aware is a choice

We live in a world controlled by loveless men whose entire life had them believe everything and everyone was transactional in nature, for either money or power. That everything is spoonfed to them. The moment it's not they glitch out and blame everything but themselves for the failure, ad infinitum.
It's hard to stress how paranoid Musk has been for his whole career. One of his favorite quotes is "Only the paranoid survive" from Intel's Andy Grove.
This is the same man who speculated that a rival space co had snipers fire at a SpaceX rocket, causing it to explode.

In an interview on Fox Business Network, Elon Musk blamed the X outage today on a cyberattack with IP addresses coming from Ukraine. He has not provided any further evidence.

Quick Google search turned up a Dr. Bradford Mott of NC State University who's specialized in Educational Informatics and did his PhD on artificial intelligence. Most importantly, he won GameSpot and IGN awards since then!
Really hoping this is the same guy!
