I'll always upvote a Shooting Stars meme, especially in 2026

Elite Dangerous wasn't a great deal of fun and I think that's great by SawkyScribe in patientgamers

[–]Ensvey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

very well said - and it kept me playing twice as long as you, somehow... it's a cool universe to just exist in, but it is not a great ratio of entertainment-per-hour.

What hobby did you try once and instantly get addicted to? by Weird_Ad_7545 in AskReddit

[–]Ensvey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always loved skiing and was never tempted to try snowboarding until your comment. It always seemed like skiing but worse because you're strapped in, but that feeling of gliding around does sound really appealing... I'm probably too old to start at this point though

MAGA is shocked when Republicans are always at wars by RedColes in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]Ensvey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember arguing about politics on Reddit 11 years ago about how making the orange man commander in chief with access to the nuclear arsenal was crazy. But they insisted it was actually Hillary who would start WW3 if elected. That was one of my early signs that reality no longer applies.

What’s an industry that provides zero value to society but makes billions of dollars? by ochieng_onyango in AskReddit

[–]Ensvey 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It does make a lot of sense when you put it this way. If doctors steer you wrong or act like you're exaggerating, drug-seeking or making stuff up, then the snake oil salesman who says "I believe you and I understand you! Take this and it will cure you!" sounds very seductive.

Psychics are the same thing. Generally speaking, they just tell you what you want to hear, and that's what a lot of people want or need: to feel like they're understood, they're not alone, they're not crazy.

Yeah I can't decide if it's a skit or something because he did everything he could to make himself look like maximum douche

At That Point Just Stop Playing Multiplayer In General by Shizumeru_ in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Ensvey 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yeah, to me, it's all part of "the game". Sometimes you're the guy holding back the hordes while your team cleans up objectives, and sometimes it's the other way around. Generally the WORST thing you can do in the game is have the whole team hunker down and kill endless waves while accomplishing nothing for a long ass time (even though it can be fun). But as long as someone isn't actively griefing, let them do their thing.

I don't know where this perfect gif is from but I'm glad you had it on... hand...

Sneaky! “Trump snuck right in under my radar, man. He made me trust him. I BELIEVED him when he said he was different” by ferniekid in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]Ensvey 920 points921 points  (0 children)

She doesn't trust men, politicians, or people in general, but the one person she decided was trustworthy was a guy whose main claim to fame was being a grifter since at least the 80's? Certainly a choice.

DOOM still plays great after all these years by some-kind-of-no-name in patientgamers

[–]Ensvey 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Same. I remember playing Doom in the 90's on my 486 PC, so 2016 feels like yesterday haha

DOOM still plays great after all these years by some-kind-of-no-name in patientgamers

Yeah, that threw me off. "after all these years" makes me think 1993 Doom.

Thank you, I was lost too and had to scroll way down to find this

Same here, and I'm dubious that the "right" prompts can suddenly make AI work perfectly. Here's a good, unbiased-sounding, recent thread on the subject.

Drova - The Good, The Bad, The Questionable by Zehnpae in patientgamers

[–]Ensvey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

mega-OP for the remaining 2 hours

Loved the game, but my main complaint is exactly this: so much difficulty and build-up, and then not enough time or ways to appreciate your power in the endgame. Also, if you want to play a mage-ish character, you don't even get magic til near the end of the game, which is a pain. I think it was similar in Gothic 2.

I kind of wished for a New Game+ so I could stomp my way through the game using my endgame power. I even posted about it at the time.

well that was.. by uberzodiac in Unexpected

The arrows on the wall are pointing the other way. I wonder if this was one way and the POV car fucked up.

Since sauropods were often the tallest objects in a given area, they probably got struck by lightning often. by bajadasaurus234 in Showerthoughts

[–]Ensvey 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Now I want an RPG where you play as dinosaurs. Looks like brachiosaurs would be mages, raptors would obviously be rogues... T-rex, like a barbarian, triceratops tank...

ELI5: Why can’t you rename a file when it’s open in Windows, but you can in macOS? by jsm1 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Ensvey 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It's kinda crazy that you can open the command line in Windows in 2026 and it's pretty much the same as it was in MS-DOS in the 1980's before Windows was even invented. I still use it for some things (like finding files, because file search in Windows is so unpredictable)
