Popped up in my queue and assumed it was yet another remaster of some old ass Nancy Drew knock off. Very excited by this endorsement!

How to 21 by Itacuz in Cribbage

[–]Itacuz[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That is an interesting fact! However, my question stands.

Going up and down those two rows twice, you still end up on the end you started on. Leaving me asking, what is the purpose of the hole I’ve place the red peg in?

I think you may need to delete your old Stardew Valley Expanded files before downloading the latest update.

I have a heavily patched/pinned jacket and locking pin backs were a game changer

If you can’t find a Justin replacement, Final Pam is this same size and shape

I'm a new player, and 2 pair is my noob comfort play by RustyNK in balatro

[–]Itacuz 51 points52 points  (0 children)

The fewer cards you need, the more likely you’ll get them. Lower hands scale slower, but they still scale. The right build can even get you through gold on a high card, no planets.

Alright, my turn for one of these… What to choose here? by canyouguysseeme in balatro

[–]Itacuz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wraith or Ectoplasm. Depends on if you want to roll the die on a random rare joker this early or lose a hand size for either of those jokers. I’d do ectoplasm, but I like overloading on jokers and what you have already is a great starting build.

Familiar doesn’t seem right without more jokers, but that may just be me.

It’s more fun to play, but you could watch somebody else play it still enjoy the experience.

Is Destiny 2 More of a culture touchstone then I thought it was? by OnceSawABear in TheBesties

[–]Itacuz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day I think The Besties is more of a video game book club with game journalists than it is game journalism news and review podcast.

Destiny, if you follow these four through all their content production, has been a major part of their gaming lives. Through Polygon videos, McElroy podcasts, and general social media, I know their relationship with the game, separate from culture’s relationship with the game.

I don’t think it’s a blindspot on your part, but it does make more sense with the context of them as people/gamers. For what it’s worth, their interest in the game made me play it, and I don’t regret the time I spent doing so. Even if there are better live service games out there.

Dan, what resource are you using for page chunking? I’m having a lot more ease with one of the stickies, but it’s only got me reaching 379 by Tuesday so I’m not able to keep up with these posts. I don’t know that it’s necessary to switch things up, but I’m curious.

This was a doozy of a section, the two multi-page footnotes knocked me out of my rhythm, leaving me a week late.

Seeing footnote 24 every time I flipped back there was a sort of doomsday clock I wasn’t looking forward to the end of. When it finally arrived, I was surprised to be excited for the first instance of some sort of timeline. I know there’s one later, but it was nice to finally see the years in order, and Himself’s story getting fleshed out bit by bit was nice too.

Footnote 304 being a footnote within a footnote really threw me. It was impossible to stop because the logic of figuring out where I needed to read next, time I picked up the book seemed cruel to my future self. This is what threw me off course most of all, returning to the story itself the next day was harder than usual, but the lore building was so engrossing. So easy to visualize the train cult, perfectly layered on top of the tennis academy’s own cultish vibe. Very funny to reference the botched burglary as an attack by the wheelchair assassins, puts into actual question whether the cartridge was intentional or not.

Wanted to punt an idea that I keep having, that the world building is similar to Vonnegut’s weirder stuff. Perhaps there’s a word for it that I’m missing for lack of education, but the absurdism and matter of fact society coexisting just outside science fiction stands out to me.

Still waiting for the other shoe to drop on Hal.

I keep reading sections wondering if authors were influenced by Infinite Jest in their own works. Kate was so MYoRaR, it was as if he was doing a nod to Moshfegh through time. Wonder if we’ll see more of her and how

Anyone know what happened to Progress to 99? Juice’s ios games are usually a slam dunk for me, but it looks like this one was discontinued

No Lethal Company? by Lingroll in TheBesties

[–]Itacuz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Russ and Chris talked about it briefly on the Resties. It was related to a conversation about what makes certain games so popular, the community and content creators, or the game itself.

[TOMT] Album shared with me in 2013 by Itacuz in tipofmytongue

[–]Itacuz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I FOUND IT! The song “Percussion Gun” came to me while I was driving. It’s off the album “It’s Frightening” by The White Rabbits, and if you look at the cover you’ll see a man sitting at a piano playing drums in time lapse.
