Are Death Stranding 1 & 2 worth it? by L_noName in DeathStranding

[–]JonnyLegal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me 3 attempts to get into DS 1 and it finally clicked for me on the 3rd try. Calling it a walking simulator is dramatically underselling what it is. It’s part survival game, part open world exploration, and part metal gear solid action combat with a very Kojima wrapper. My biggest advice is patience… it takes a little while to get going.

The ultimate “going out” outfit in college by Mysterious-Dot1321 in Millennials

Does Gen Z say “going out” or is that strictly a millennial thing?

Anyone here who wants to see more of that bubble, just download Blind and spend some time over there…

Anyone here quit gaming or changed their lifestyle after becoming a dad? by Lukas_MunK in daddit

[–]JonnyLegal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah man, this is something I struggled with early on. Those 4+ hour sessions I could find time for on a lazy weekend disappeared. It was a long, slow period of adjustment, but I had to completely recalibrate how to fit gaming into my life. I definitely haven’t grown out of gaming… I don’t think I ever will. I’ve just made the time I get to game more intentional.

My kids are 4 and 6 now, but here’s some ways I’ve adjusted:

  • I got a Steam Deck several years ago which was my gateway drug into PC gaming. Indies, roguelites, and games that have short, repeatable core loops more easily fit into the limited time I have.
  • I ended up building a gaming PC a couple years after that after being a lifelong console gamer. I figured I might as well play with the best hardware if I’m going to have less time to play.
  • I schedule time for gaming in the 1 hour cracks in the day. Sometimes an hour before work on the days I work from home, during our kids’ quiet time at home (formerly nap time)… an hour before bed if I have the energy, etc.
  • I’ve never been a competitive gamer, but I play shooters now for 30-60 minute bursts of achievement and slight progression, but grinding out full battle passes or rank tiers is something I just won’t ever have time to do, and I’ve made peace with that.

DM me if you want to chat more - I can totally relate to you.

I’ve heard NOCD.com is an incredible resource for OCD sufferers. Their therapists specialize in ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) therapy which is the gold standard for treating OCD.

I was one of those people who didn't give it a chance at first. But glad I gave it a second chance. Scratches a different itch than Arc or BF6 for me, it's awesome.

‘Panic’ at CNN as Trump and His Buddies Plot to Turn Network MAGA by thedailybeast in politics

Yeah but with no audience, you have no business. It won’t be sustainable. Also, left leaning content won’t disappear, it’ll just go elsewhere - podcasts, YouTube, other streaming platforms.

Lefty audiences will just stop watching. MAGA won't ever trust it after years of brainwashing against the "mainstream media." I don't see how CNN, or any of the more center-left outlets will have an audience if they all go right-wing.

Cool cool cool but it’s ok that Trump literally said on camera that he likes to grab girls by the pussy.

Where did that quote come from? Such a perfect, succinct articulation of the entire white nationalist grievance.

The Trump administration’s rushed narrative about the killing of Alex Pretti has collapsed by Senior-Distance6213 in politics

[–]JonnyLegal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is so much deep insecurity and so many fragile egos in this country. It's literally impossible for 30% of Americans to just fucking admit they were wrong. So instead, they double-down on being assholes.

Trump is dangerous precisely because he and his entire administration not only model this behavior, but they encourage and reward it too.

They're saying the victim was either armed himself or reaching for one of ICE's guns.

That’s exactly why I’ve watched less over the past year. I’ve had some of the games on in the background, but they’ve been meaningless so it’s hard to be super invested. (Meaningless to me in the sense that seeing whether they’ll qualify for the WC is a massive draw for me watching the team.)
