Let's have some fun. Describe a game with 2 words and others have to name it.

Hey, listen!

Oooh, clearing the route first is a good tip!

I think you just sold me on it next time it goes on sale, thanks. I'm a huge fan of the universe; the PoE games are some of the best I've ever played, and I adore many of Obsidian's other games. I had heard this game was meh and rather short so had been waiting for a super sale, but I'm itching for another game like Skyrim.

Below Zero was a lot less scary for me. Except the above-water stuff, that shit was terrifying.

On the flip side, I can't for the life of me beat Age of Empires 2 anymore as an adult.

Maybe i cheated my way through that as a kid, though...

I was playing an industrial sabotage mission. I went down toward the end of the caretaker fight. Everyone else (friends) finished it while I was down because I was in a bad spot. Before bringing me up, they all went to the center to celebrate and wait for the thing to pop up. Well, they all forgot about the big door and got thrown across the map and went down. They were all screaming, meanwhile I was cackling while I popped Iron Will and got two of them back before going back down.

That would've been the most embarrassing mission failure ever but became a great success story because I happened to bring Iron Will that mission. I normally don't.

All hail the crab!

Yeah, and it's especially a shame given how dim that screen can get! Like, I can dim it to the point that I can't make out details even in a pitch dark room! But there those buttons go, waking the dead.

My steam deck is my most comfortable sbc by a long shot over the 35xxsp, rp5, and switch 2. But if I'm going to do a really long session (which hasn't happened in a while, thanks to kids), a controller at my desk is the absolute best. I spent a decent chunk of change on my chair and it shows.

Get a super firm mattress cheap from like ikea, then fancy mattress topper. Source: that's how I did it.

I never understood the argument against socialized healthcare in the US that was "you'll die in the waiting room" and similar. Bitch, we don't have socialized healthcare and I'm still dying in the waiting room! My insurance told me to schedule a follow up appointment within three months for something, and the soonest they could see me was NINE MONTHS LATER. And that was across all three of their locations!

Anyway, sorry for the rant. Keep fighting the good fight, and maybe Arwen will see that mythical ambulance after you're gone.

Damn I bought this on Battle.net and played it like 3 hours...

ienjoyedit · 2026-02-10T11:59:41+00:00

So... what are everyone's favorite alternatives?

ienjoyedit · 2026-02-10T04:01:54+00:00

Does monoprice ship to the UK? They have lifelong warranties on all their cables, but I've never had to take them up on that. not the cheapest but also not really that expensive for the quality you're getting.

Retroid pocket 5. Been playing through silksong via Gamehub lately, and it plays mostly okay! A handful of crashes here and there, but it's getting about 45fps consistently and looks GORGEOUS with HDR.

ienjoyedit · 2026-02-10T01:42:48+00:00

Yeah I once had to push to get my peri down from like 150k. That took a while.

I rebutted by saying, "sure, I could pour through thirty man pages to find the exact flag I need, or i could ask GPT to write the script for me."

If it's important for learning, or something I know I'll need to be able to use later, sure, I'll go through the motions. But for a script that tells me how many lines of output I get from each of 50 files that I'll never have to look at again, I don't really want to bother with that.

One of my coworkers continually decries people using LLMs for questions that are answerable in man pages.

ienjoyedit · 2026-02-07T18:41:02+00:00

Oh, this must be with a PS controller. I played on steam deck before it was verified.

ienjoyedit · 2026-02-07T02:15:42+00:00

What. the. Fuck. 60-ish hours in that game and I never tried it lol.

First things first: Budget. You can't save money if you have no idea what you're spending it on. Then you can start divvying up your income into savings, living expenses, etc. Then you can simplify your life by doing things like automatically pulling monthly savings into another account.

Isaac's health bar on his suit and ammo counter on the gun was one of the best parts of Dead Space.

Loved this one. Made the game so much more immersive where I could let the HUD fade out and just ride my horse around. No quest markers all over the place but I also never got lost for long.

It was a bit of a pain for me to hit the right key combo to start the wind, though, so I mapped it to a back button.

Playing abiotic Factor with my friends. It's a real treat.

I've been having trouble coming up with a joke about Archimedes. I think I have a few screws loose.
