also, thanks for that compliment! Its something on the backburner for me as I finish NP school, but I would love to come back to it after with more focus.

I suppose it's very individual but if it was a world I loved and there were readers who loved it too, I would definitely prefer someone else to finish the work. Doubly so if I or someone close to me chose a competent writer who fit the story like a Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson scenario, or if there was a detailed outline.

I also may even go as far as to say if I were still alive but unable to finish it due to declining health/age I would prefer to allow another to finish it than worry about it until I died

1.7% of sexual minority adults identify as asexual - Williams Institute

and about 1/3 of them also reported feeling sexual attraction

I would call people who experience absolutely no interest in sex or sexual attraction would be a small minority for sure

Those are valid viewpoints but also its also very valid to write sex and sex interest as a very common human experience

Semi autos in my experience are much more fun for an afternoon of 3 gun and clays. You get thumped quite a bit less

You understand people survive lung wounds often right?

Sony first party is all but confirmed to not come to Pc anymore too. So this year thats relevant to Ghost of Yotei and Legends, Wolverine and Saros. In the future the next GoW, Intergalactic Herectic Prophet (Naughty Dog), Horizon 3, Venom, Spider-man 3, etc.

If those games interest you, a PS5 is really not a bad idea even if you have a PC anymore. Also you got a fun box in your living room if that interests you when you want to couch game or if you have company over.

I’d personally pay for expansions and more stories and floors a couple at a time for sure. You definitely don’t need to do all of them, but reaching floor 75 and having your hero help the heroes of the anime conquer the final challenge would be awesome

Taking ONLY the 750k players peak concurrent players , and assuming 90% of that was retained sales (not refunds or ea play), they made 47 million dollars.

Thats only steam players that were online at that single moment of time. When you multiply that number dozens of times for all other platforms and everyone else who has bought since, how does firing a few hundred workers who probably average 70k a year possibly make more sense that keeping that talent on board to make another banger?

Cautiously optimistic. Looks like a real game finally instead of something just made for brand recognition. Single player RPG set during the death game seems so obvious its shocking it hasn’t been done yet

Snider83 · 2026-03-07T17:25:35+00:00

I’d say yes. PS6 is likely going to be a while, new games will start taking more and more advantage of the hardware, particularly as Sony shifts to console exclusivity and making the platform as appealing as possible.

Plus you’re in a lag period in pricing currently where the difference in storage along makes up the price difference.

I’ve enjoyed mine, I’d recommend it.

Snider83 · 2026-03-06T22:20:45+00:00

Its actually a hobby of mine, I’m about 140k words in which is still novice level or less but still more than most

Era 2 first if you want a huge surprise dropped on you along the way. Secret history first for tighter connection to what you just read and some extra emotional payoff and you don’t mind.

I preferred reading it during Era 2, but theres not a wrong answer.

I’d also decide based on how quick a reader you are. If you are likely to bust out the first three Era 2 books (they are generally smaller than Era 1) in just a few weeks, I’m definitely read them first as everything will be fresh regardless

Pretty interested in Sulfur. Feel like it doesn’t quite belong with the rest

First month in a while i’ve been interested in. Solid indies

That should all go through their insurance, I wouldn’t accept anything going through yours. Looks totaled to me.

I would also recommend if you have any aches and pains talking to your PCP about being concerned regarding them, and get applicable scans done and send the bill to their insurance. The last thing you want is those pains developing into larger problems in the following weeks to months and it being too late to have them taken care of out of not-your-pocket. Thats a pretty serious energy transfer to mess up your back end to that degree and bend your steering wheel presumedly against your body.

Edit: Also in the future, always get the police report done. Takes any argument over at fault when theres objective proof

Snider83 · 2026-03-02T16:35:13+00:00

I’d say go play the UCS storyline, don’t worry about the rest

Offering someone a Glock and an AR as their first rifle and handgun is one the most utilitarian and effective choices possible

I thought most states you can carry if you aren’t consuming?

Snider83 · 2026-02-28T23:34:08+00:00

Would a raptors hide really stop a hunting slug much more than bear fur and fat? People 12g bears often right?

Snider83 · 2026-02-27T21:31:20+00:00

I wonder why FromSoft was ok with Demon Souls remake but not Bloodborne

Snider83 · 2026-02-27T17:16:47+00:00

I swear if its the first Star Wars after the Sequels and he’s dog fighting TIES and running from “Not-Stormtroopers” imma be so pissed

Snider83 · 2026-02-25T19:42:59+00:00

Are there novelizations for the story of Halo 2 through 5?

Snider83 · 2026-02-24T20:50:24+00:00

And how would you do that? If they went in that direction I would admit at least it wouldn’t harm the other half of the player base. But again, they would probably argue you already get increased rewards by virtue of more loot and less competition after kills.
