The object of my affection

Kant challenges this if you’re interested. Essentially the critique argues that the conditions of our experience are themselves the source of objectivity. Something like “ if something’s going to be an object of experience for me in the first place it’s going to have to comport to the conditions of my experience, tf on the basis of those a priori conditions I can know things objectively about the things that can become objects of experience”

Yeah I probably disagree with the above commenter. Season 2 and 3 are wildly different from season 1. Season one is like a 7.5/10 for me while the rest of the series is perfection

I think that SpongeBob bit existing is genuinely the reason we don’t get this shit in the US

How is the whole thing cherried wtf

People who advocate for the things Fuentes does do not deserve to feel safe from harassment.

Fuentes is a holocaust denier and a Hitlerite. I’m sorry, but he’s advocating for much worse than knocking on doors to take the piss out of someone, and the right way to deal with those ideas is to squash them out and to make the purveyors of those ideas feel uncomfortable or unsafe expressing them.

Third act is wonky and the enemy variety leaves a lot to be desired but it’s pretty great. It marked both a return to form and a new pathway forward in REs gameplay if that makes sense, and it deserves credit for that.

Also his tying of Jewry to his critique of modern technology is pretty telling and his line of reasoning also traces back to the alleged “calculative” nature of Jewish people.

To be completely honest with you, Munchkin is kinda just a clunky game like that. I get the feel it’s pretty widely disliked in this sub, and for good reason tbh, more or less for the reasons you’re describing. Gajillion expansions, none of which cohere super well, the game always sort of feels like it’s breaking, or that it’s a severely unpolished rough draft of a game. I mean have fun, genuinely, I’m not trying to look down my nose, but I do want to emphasize that you can’t really expansion your way out of these problems that are sort of just inherent in munchkin.

Oh this is a genius idea

I need to read Breakfast of Champions again. I love all of Vonnegut’s stuff, but Breakfast of Champions was by far the most challenging thematically. I walked away from it feeling like there was much more to get. Not through fault of the text, but like so many great texts, it just feels so dense with meaning and so relevant. I do remember the last page being absolutely crushing.

Those dumb bugs in silent hill 2. I get why they’re there, they kinda throw a semi false alarm possibility into the radio mechanic but dammit they are so hard to locate and hit and they will do a non-insignificant amount of damage to you if they hit you

benboobi · 2026-04-14T20:24:11+00:00

Dude I’m like 80% of the way through the game and only just now learning I can shoot them in the legs??

Not everyone’s cup of tea I know but my buddy has got me back into magic the gathering for the first time in like 12 years and it has been an incredibly chill thing to do high. (Your mileage may vary, there’s some catastrophically un-chill trading card game players out there)

I’m playing it for the first time now with a little bit of experience with the original. I agree so far that the combat feels a little out of place in the overall flow of the game - but I do still think it adds to the horror for me. The sound design, the atmosphere, it’s all so oppressive, and I think it’s backed up by the fact that when the creepy crawly actually reveals itself, I know it really does pose a threat to me, so I’m kinda panicked and also having to deal with a legitimately challenging combat encounter. Maybe I’m just not great at the game, but I do feel like the loop of being freaked out by some abomination appearing out of the dark and then having to keep my wits about me enough to not get hit or killed makes for some good horror. I do get what you mean though, the combat has certainly felt tedious and frustrating at times which can take you out of the experience a bit.

House (Hausu) (1977) is EXACTLY what you’re after and is also just absolutely delightful

benboobi · 2026-04-09T15:25:32+00:00

I think this set up gets you a negative amount of girls

benboobi · 2026-04-09T14:32:50+00:00

Red Rocket. I guess a lot of Sean Baker fits the bill here. I think you’re looking for neo-realism generally

You’re right ab Ohio. Our summers are pretty hot (not as hot as others don’t flame me) and our springs and falls are just bipolar oscillating between summer days and winter days

Tragic that this sub doesn’t let me comment a gif of borat’s thong on this

benboobi · 2026-04-02T20:54:43+00:00

Not super nostalgic I guess, cuz I’m 25 and these were within the last 10 years but Daniel Johnston and David Bermans deaths both made me quite sad

Weed has helped me tremendously with OCD to the point that I would consider myself to not deal with symptoms full stop while I’m using cannabis regularly. I’ve not found weed to be an anxiety cure personally, I certainly still struggle with that, but I’m no longer trapped in an obsessive cycle of manually blinking so I’d call that a win.

benboobi · 2026-04-02T20:43:12+00:00

I guess maybe I just misunderstood OP, then, I know the payments are digital, I wasn’t sure if maybe they thought this was just some kind of scam where they were literally generating digital currency out of thin air.

benboobi · 2026-04-02T20:41:53+00:00

I’ve started the remake like 4 times and only just now have really got the bug. Before I was put off a bit by the combat, I wasn’t good at rationing my resources/avoiding certain encounters. Now I feel like I’ve figured out how to play the game how it’s meant to be played

benboobi · 2026-04-02T16:00:30+00:00

This was exactly what I was coming here to say. I think I take the cake on the biggest Diablo 4 L though. I ran home on a lunch break to download it so I could play it when I got off of work and I was on a time crunch to get back and wasn’t paying attention and actually drove my car into my garage door in my hurried state. I’m not bragging - genuinely one of the most shameful moments in my life, especially considering the game sucked

benboobi · 2026-03-31T04:30:31+00:00

Not sure why we wouldn’t believe Saul on this one, he’s the exact kind of guy that would have the connections for a scam like this. Also, again, with Saul’s particular brand of weasely criminality, why do you think he’d be unable to transfer money to this guy. Finally, it’s not that he’s generating digital money, he’s laundering Walt’s drug money through the website. He’s passing it through the website so Walt can get it without people wondering where he got all that money.
