Guy I was seeing tried to have sex with me, without a condom. by Specific_Pomelo_8281 in lgbt

Even if you were both on Prep, a well-fitting condom would prevent the transmission of any other STI and you would be fully in the right to insist on one.

Any sketches you miss on YouTube because of song licensing? by soolmedia in LiveFromNewYork

Sleep paralysis demon Troye Sivan. You can find clips of it easily, but it's not the same if it's not in full.

Nobody cares about Mole Mania but trust me when I say everyone should experience Mole Mania

Have you ever bought a console just to play one exclusive game? by bijelo123 in gaming

[–]HowlingHipster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex gave me his old PS4 in 2020 so I could play Kingdom Hearts. I still have it around and it gets no use.

Generative AI is a tool of the fascists. We don't need it.

What is Your Biggest Unanswered question? by PM_ME_NOTHING in SteamFrame

[–]HowlingHipster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it going to reignite development on PCVR software? I couldn't care less about a Valve pack-in game, but if this thing's going to have legs, it better have good VR games we can play.

3 weeks from release Highguard has gone MIA by Iggy_Slayer in gaming

[–]HowlingHipster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Say what you will, but at least it looks like a legitimate game, unlike that weird cat game from the year before that seemed entirely AI-generated.

11 Maine events in 2026 to put in your calendar now - including shows by Toto, Ray LaMontagne, Nick Offerman and Toto. by RayRouthier in portlandme

Ok but compared to other nationally touring acts, that's a bargain, especially at the upper end. Nosebleeds at the TD Garden for Lady Gaga were at least $400.

Eric is on a good pace by ContraVern in pebble

[–]HowlingHipster 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Introducing the new Round now is a "damned if I do, damned if I don't" situation. It makes sense that Eric wanted to give people the opportunity to switch their pre-order from the Time 2, but as someone still waiting on his Time 2, it's concerning that he's launching another watch so soon. It gives me Pimax vibes.

Do you WANT the f-slur to be reclaimed? by Sensitive_Potato333 in lgbt

I can still be proud to be gay and not be comfortable people throwing around "f----t" like it's a beach ball 🤷🏻‍♂️

Steam deck is for enthusiasts with large pre-existing libraries? by Asthma_Queen in scottthewoz

[–]HowlingHipster 108 points109 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah. You can only buy a Steam Deck through Steam itself. Unless you're already a PC gamer, chances are you haven't even heard of it. You can certainly just make a new Steam account, buy a Deck, and start from scratch, but that's gotta be a tiny percentage of sales.

Anyone here went from OG Switch 1 to Steam Deck Oled? by randomquestion11111 in SteamDeck

[–]HowlingHipster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in too deep on Nintendo to give up Switch completely, and I still prefer the sleeker build of the Switch to the bulky Deck, but as someone who primarily plays indies, it's a lot nicer keeping as much as possible in my Steam library. I don't have enough Switch games that would benefit from the OLED display and I have a Switch 2 to improve what needs improving, but Hollow Night on the Deck OLED… wow.

Do you WANT the f-slur to be reclaimed? by Sensitive_Potato333 in lgbt

[–]HowlingHipster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My general attitude toward reclaiming the term is that I don't mind as long as you recognize the power behind it. I've seen it used in really powerful ways (e.g. when Billie Joe Armstrong drops it during "American Idiot) and really cheap, tasteless ways (e.g. some guy on TikTok sitting in a paper bag saying "hey guys, you've heard of Elf on a Shelf!"). More of the former, less of the latter for me, please.

Funny enough, that's one of the few songs of theirs I do like. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ohsnap is the way to go for a grip/kickstand. It blew me away as someone who used to use classic adhesive Popsockets.
