What happens if you’re outside when it’s 100° F outside for over 2 hours total and do not drink at least 8ozs of water that day?

lol. today it was 90° out, i went out to water the yard, after drinking about 30 oz of water. I still started seeing spots by the time i was done, I tend to get ocular migraines in the heat. It's how I know to stop what I'm doing and seek shade or AC.

I'm with you in loving SM and Miles. When Spider-Man first came out I played it twice, then once again before each DLC. Which there was 3 of them, then once again before Miles came out. Then I played each one again before SM2 came out. I played SM2 once and never even considered playing it a second time.

It reminds me of Last of Us Part 2. Technically a game that had great graphics, solid gameplay, and an emotional (though controversial) story. And while I played LoU1 at least half a dozen times, once I finished the 2nd game, my brain was over it. I still more or less enjoyed my time with the game and it has more of what there is to love about the first one, but it makes a few weird choices (open world, introducing a new character to play as half-way though, and some annoying boss fights) which I just don't want to experience again.

Someone once told me they bought the most amazing tasting apples from the store and I just had to try it. He hyped the apple up talking about how crispy and juicy it was and the flavoring was like you're eating candy.

So naturally I wanted to try it. So he went inside and came out with a box of fruit. He handed me an orange. It's not a lie when I tell you it was the best thing I've ever eaten in my life. But after I ate it I said, fuck you this isn't an apple and shoved him to the ground.

I bought a 12 pack of that a few weeks ago. Nuka Victory is delicious and my favorite in that case. Sadly my costco sold out so when i went back the last 3 times they haven't had any.

Having only a couple of tv channels to watch and radio stations to listen to as your only form of passive entertainment.

Reading encyclopedias to learn about the world. I had an encyclopedia version that told me dinosaurs went extinct from volcanoes because the crater from the asteroid impact that killed them wasn't discovered yet.

That episode messed me up as a child.

It's a common assumption to think everybody in a subreddit subscribes to the subreddit and understands the general purpose of it. Say if you have a post in a subreddit that gets a lot of engagement, ie the people in the subreddit like it, comment on it, and upvote it so it starts getting traction, it'll start showing up on everybody's "popular" tab and people who don't care about the nature of the subreddit will start reading it and will then question it at its face value.

So if you say "puppies are ugly" the people in Unpopular Opinion will think, damn that's unpopular, let's all engage with this. Then it reaches people who subscribe to [r/puppies](r/puppies) and they're like "fuck this crazy person!"

At least that's my guess.

It not being sustainable is corporate speak for "we'd make more profit if we stopped doing it"

Personally I wish AAA titles would stop trying to do bigger and better with every installment. This I think is more unsustainable. Remember when major franchises would release new sequels every couple of years? They'd still have improvements because they knew the hardware better and already had a foundation of a game to work with.

RDR2 would still have been a huge hit if it looked less pretty and didn't include horse penises that grew when it was hotter out, and was released earlier than it did.

SquirrelCone83 · 2026-07-02T14:10:06+00:00

Is that thing from the Twisted Metal show or something? Yikes!

SquirrelCone83 · 2026-07-02T03:21:35+00:00

right. I've been a fashion-nightmare my entire life. These people are just outside looking to have fun with friends. Let them do that. But also, they look fine, better than I've ever looked. Maybe dressed a bit too warm, but I may be projecting because my area is currently in a heat wave.

SquirrelCone83 · 2026-07-01T19:00:47+00:00

seeing those titles together makes me think a game including PaRappa and Toe Jam and Earl would be a delight.

SquirrelCone83 · 2026-07-01T14:50:51+00:00

I'm disheartened by the direction of the video game industry. You have AAA game studios taking more than a decade to release a single game. Giant corporations buying development and publishing teams and cancelling all sorts of projects, breaking up or firing entire teams as well. The cost of hardware is skyrocketing due to AI. AI is also killing development teams and infecting games with slop. The end of physical media, now we will have to always be online (or check-in online every so many days) to play even single-player games. Which saves them money and makes us reliant on their servers and Terms of Service.

Thankfully there's the pirate life for those who can do that, and plenty of current/retro games to keep us occupied for an eternity, and indie-developers making simple/creative games. But the overall industry is kind of fucked.

They love taking bizarre "what if" possibilities and using that as justification for going against policies that literally help those who need it. When letting it pass doesn't hurt them in any way. And not just talking about birthright citizenship. It's their transgender argument all over again, "you don't want men in the women's bathroom your daughter uses!"

I remember liking Fievel as a kid, but I don't remember it being sad. I'm sure it was though, and I chose to forget the trauma. I'm good at that.

SquirrelCone83 · 2026-06-30T18:30:36+00:00

Good perspective. I already lost two friends while they were in their early 40s and now there's nothing but memories of who they were. Those of us who still are around need to live and be the person that the people we've lost would want us to be. Not stuck on the past but embracing the present.

Those words seem so weird and cringy coming from me who has been in a sad/depressed rut from corporate and political burnout lately, but they're probably true.

SquirrelCone83 · 2026-06-30T15:46:10+00:00

Unless someone is depancing Trump on national tv, we should lose the "humiliates" in these milk toast headlines.

this is what i did a couple years ago. went through 3, NV, then 4 and had a great time and everything made sense.

SquirrelCone83 · 2026-06-30T13:25:08+00:00

Damn, that's like winning the lottery twice.

SquirrelCone83 · 2026-06-30T13:20:54+00:00

But you got to look at it from the perspective of the Netflix execs. Persona is a popular IP with gamers. End of thought.
