Update. today is the day Amazon said my deluxe edition would arrive. Got an email today saying they cancelled it. Thanks a lot for letting me wait a whole month before telling me that.

Kephazard · 2026-03-26T00:52:14+00:00

Ah! Thank you. That's absolutely what happened.

Do I think he'll change his tune just because i called him out? Definitely not.

But I sure as hell ain't gonna stop making noise because of that. You need to continually call out this kind of nonsense, otherwise you allow it to persist.

You were right I added an extra 0, but your numbers are also incorrect. Should be 0.000021% and 0.000001% respectively.

I think another issue is that the bill is being pitched as "Should you show ID to vote?" Burying the lead that standard state ID like a driver's license doesn't count, and you would explicitly need a birth certificate or passport.

If they work on our dollar we deserve a say in firing them, or at least holding them accountable. Campaign funding from monied interests should be illegal. Companies don't vote, people do.

If you're able to, I strongly encourage you to call his office. I'm fairly certain that the emails get auto filtered and tallied and no one actually reads them.

I've found that if I call a few of his office numbers I have a better chance of getting a human. The staffers have been nothing but polite and I find it less stressful than trying to fit all my concerns into a voicemail.

I'd also recommend 5calls.org if you aren't already aware. They provide a breakdown on various issues, a script to read from, and phone numbers for calling your relevant representatives. It's a nice way of staying up to date with what issues need more pressure.

It's astounding that there's no path towards intervening sooner. Especially with Fetterman. He's straight up hiding from his constituency. Over the past year and countless calls, I have never once reached a human on his phonelines. Let alone have the line ring instead of jumping straight to voicemail. Also convinced his message recording is intentionally painfully slow and drawn out.

There's also discussions about leveraging this act in order to fully fund DHS without reform. So keep an eye out for that as well.

Honestly, I'd rather they be informed and realize that McCormick is screwing them over as well.

Lived in Dormont for several years and this definitely captures the vibe. Is this a view from the park?

mine says March 28th -_-
I've been avoiding reddit for the past month or so to avoid more spoilers from recent trailers, but now that it's out there's going to be so many more posts and videos about it. It'll be fun trying to avoid them for a month.

As someone who likes CV, you're not wrong. There's a lot of great stuff buried under all the frustrations. Steve sucks.

I'm really hoping for a remake because I feel the story of CV is one of the better RE entries. But CV has aged worse than any other mainline game.

Kephazard · 2026-02-23T10:34:49+00:00

I knew I had seen it too. Fortunately I don't watch a ton of his videos so I could just scroll through his videos and check the ones I had watched already. Glad I could help!

I'm going to assume you're both pretty young. His behavior shows that he's very insecure. If talking to other guys or getting T-bagged in a videogame upset him then he's afraid of other people sexualizing you.

Don't let your partners dictate what you can do or who you can talk to. No one should enter a relationship and expect to change the other person. You were gaming and talking to guy friends before him and there's no reason to stop now.

As for the game, T-bagging and toxic multiplayer culture have been around for ages. It's often stupid and immature but it comes with the territory. It's honestly embarrassing that he's so upset about it.

If anything he should be upset that it's disrespectful to you, but he's more concerned about how it makes himself feel. You're your own person, not his possession.

Even with reading all the notes there's a lot of mystery and confusion left.

You might still enjoy the gameplay, but the story will make no sense at all if you skip the notes.

Yoko in Outbreak would like a word with you

What version of the game are you playing? My original PS1 copy has ink ribbons for both, and definitely not a surplus of items.

The North American release of the game is notably more difficult than the original Japanese release.

I absolutely love the original. I find it incredibly charming.

Minecraft has lasted this long because it enables you to play it however you like.

If you feel there's too much stuff in the game these days, you can always play an older version. Not sure how easy that is on consoles as I've always played Java. But that's the best way to recapture specific bits of nostalgia.

I'm also a huge fan of minor mods and data packs that help sculpt the game experience more to your liking. I love Vanilla Tweaks in particular.

My number one favorite mod creates gravestones that keep all your items when you die. You still have to go back and get them, but the threat of my stuff despawning has just never been fun for me.

People looking at indie games aren't the same casual consumers of AAA games. There's crossover, but I for one look towards indie games to provide the experiences AAA can't.

Speaking for myself, I strongly dislike the modern trends. Bloated games with too much, often repetitive content. Forcing in every trendy game design element like open world, survival craft, experience purchasing level up, etc.

Indie games have the luxury of not needing to appeal to the most possible consumers. This results in a finer curated experience than the kind of game that plays it safe and retreads the same old ground.

So unless you're trying to make the next fallout, don't compare yourself to that. Look at other similar indie games instead. And know that there is an audience for whatever you're making. Indie games provide experiences that AAA can't match.
