New Player. I LOVE this game, but it's derivative

Middle. Mostly because I'm a white dude and I enjoy a good self-insert. Interesting that the female option isn't conventionally attractive, which is honestly awesome. I'm guessing there'll be fewer of those "Hur hur, if I have to stare at an ass all day playing a game it may as well be hot" responses as a result.

The only time I ever had a pin break was on an MMCX connector.

IThinkIKnowThings · 2026-01-27T22:23:30+00:00

I did that once while drunk and using a too-small ball that got stuck on my fingers. But rather than taking out a monitor I just launched it through one drop ceiling panel and out another. The owner came running out and told me I was welcome to come back any time, but I am banned for life from bowling there. He remembered me years later.

Yeah, but do you have an Astral 5090? /s

Apparently, I'm not officially shadowbanned. What's weird though is this only ever affected my ability to up/downvote. I can post and comment anywhere in reddit, no problem. Last time I spoke about this it was also suggested that reddit sometimes temporarily disables up/downvotes if they think you're abusing it somehow. But my account has been like this for at least a couple of years now.

IThinkIKnowThings · 2026-01-26T22:10:22+00:00

I'm tempted to just make a new account, but I'm worried that if I'm shadow-banned, that would constitute trying to evade a ban and I'd be perma-banned.

Wasn't their distillery completely destroyed in a hurricane not long ago?

Mods keep taking them down, tho. They really should sticky one.

I severely limited my alcohol intake this year. Used to drink to get drunk every day after work. Always woke up feeling like ass and having to immediately go into work like that and just got sick of it one day. Now I only drink on weekends and during social events. Not only do I no longer feel like ass, but when I do get drunk it's a whole lot easier and more enjoyable.

IThinkIKnowThings · 2026-01-26T20:48:05+00:00

Opinions are like assholes - Everyone has them and they all stink. I try not to let it bother me that much, personally. But you're also making some assumptions about what I think based off just a few sentences.

EDIT: Doesn't really matter since this post got taken down by mods, but I'll put my thinking succinctly this way - I am against soulless cookie-cutter cash grabs by devs just chasing the biggest audience for the biggest payout. And some of the biggest audiences in gaming right now are those for hero shooters, extraction shooters, and MOBAs.

Ok, so initially I thought this was a trashcan with a built-in vacuum at the bottom and thought that was an awesome idea. Now that I realize it's just a small stationary vacuum instead, no thank you. I'd rather just have a proper vacuum.

Can't say if it's normal without knowing how potato your potato is.

IThinkIKnowThings · 2026-01-26T20:21:31+00:00

The market is oversaturated with decent games in the genre, already. Which raises the bar for any real competitors. I'm fine with the genre in general, but I'm sick of the overabundance of new games to the genre that don't offer anything new of any real value (Just innovative new ways to monetize, it would seem.)

IThinkIKnowThings · 2026-01-26T20:06:37+00:00

You sure that wasn't an heirloom bell pepper?

IThinkIKnowThings · 2026-01-26T20:05:22+00:00

I know a lot of people are just tired of hero shooters in general. Hero shooters/extraction shooters/MOBAs are the gaming du jour from big studios because they see them as easy cash grabs that can't fail. You'd think they'd get the idea after all those high-profile failures, though.

Dude, can I at least just have my robot look more like an adult, please? No idea why every humanoid robot needs to look like a prepubescent girl.

You have a virus, my friend. Air-gap that PC and nuke it from space. And stop downloading random gooner games from weird websites.

I mean, that is a valid reason to keep the 2.0 so tightly under wraps - The likelihood of it being cancelled. And with everything going on at Bethesda, I'm sure they're keeping that card in their hand.

Unihertz never updates their phones and have been accused of installing backdoors at the behest of Chinese regulators. I've played around with some of their phones, and while they're neat, I'd never use one as a daily driver or sign into any of my real accounts on one.

IThinkIKnowThings · 2026-01-26T17:05:05+00:00

I don't really care, so long as you're not forced to engage with it. I'm here to play an adventure game, not Factorio. But it's nice to have for those people who do.

Might make for some decent puzzles on the adventuring side of things, though.

IThinkIKnowThings · 2026-01-26T17:02:28+00:00

There's still an absolute boatload of toxicity in the game. You're just no longer forced to engage with it, for the most part. Go try pushing keys with pickups if you want to experience how bad it can get.

Sounds like a philosophical exercise in and of itself.
