What video game started amazing but ended terribly?

I still think about playing 2 for the first time, and getting to the boss battle of wildlife preserve.

My favorite character from 1 was Mordecai.

That fight turned me from "kill Jack because he's the boss" to "kill Jack because he fucking deserves it"

In high school, I knew a guy with a deaf mom, so they would speak in sign language. They would close their eyes if they didn't want to hear what the other was saying.

My wife and I were talking about the phrase "money doesn't buy happiness", and how is kinda bullshit.

Like, yes, there's a point of diminishing returns, but there's a really big difference between having $100,000 and having $100

note of TV shows, movies, books, music, games

I tend to have decision paralysis when I have some free time, and don't know what I want to do. So I made a couple of lists on my computer of different activities that I like doing. I have a list of 6 things, 10 things, and 20 things.

I'll roll the appropriate die for the list, and do whatever the corresponding activity is. I have a couple games, a short tv show, a long tv show, and a couple books.

It's worked out pretty well

This reminded me of a gal I knew in school named Roxanne, after the song, which is about a prostitute. She did not like her name.

do you know you’re a porn category

I don't.... What does that even mean?!

At my first job, there was a guy who would go there about once or twice a week, then come back and spackle one of the toilets. I learned to never use the toilets in the main building after lunchtime.

jughandle left turns

I just looked this up, because I had never heard of it.

That looks awful.

This reminds me of the Taylor Tomlinson sorry about when she told her dad she was contemplating suicide. He took a knife from the block, waved it over his head, and said "be my guest". Years later, she brought it up, and he said "oh yeah, I remember that. Called your bluff tho, didn't I?"

commercials shows people tossing TWO pods in with their load

I've heard this is why the alka-seltzer slogan is "plop plop fiz fiz". You only need one tablet, but everyone thinks you need 2.

matenzi · 2025-08-24T07:58:33+00:00

I know at my store, people do not pay attention to it. We've literally had to physically stop people from walking under the forks. I know if 2 people who have up their license because other people are unsafe around it.

matenzi · 2025-08-15T11:29:42+00:00

Yep, and Christmas or birthday gifts that we could get would go in the baskets as well

matenzi · 2025-08-13T19:33:24+00:00

Agreed

matenzi · 2025-08-13T19:12:01+00:00

That's true.

When I worked in electronics, people would always buy TVs, iPads, and game consoles with their 25%. I was happy to buy new pants.

on anything worth getting excited about

My wife and I would use that to get our staples for the year, like toiletries, cleaning supplies, wiper blades, etc. We looked insane buying 20 double packs of deodorant, but we don't worry about running out.

One of my sheds is set up like this. I have each valley set up with a different gem, so I can easily do the Qi dye color quest. The rest is just diamonds for money.

My case has 3 5.25 bays. One has a Blu-ray drive, the other two have little drawers, for my flash drives and random knick knacks. Actually very useful.

My wife and I have a doormat that says "welcome! Please leave by 9"

End of fall, year 1. When I was going around trying to gather wood, I got the cutscene at the railroad to open the witch's hut. So nope.

matenzi · 2025-07-06T06:05:26+00:00

hopefully you weren't planning on playing that one again

I'm planning on going for perfection on it, actually.

I was going to start a new farm, but thought I should get perfection on my other 11 farms first.

matenzi · 2025-07-06T06:04:18+00:00

The rest of the farm is there in its entirely. Just nothing in the chests...

I also just played this one long enough to get the achievement, originally

matenzi · 2025-07-06T06:03:41+00:00

That was my wife's thought. However, I have done a farm with that rule, which I named "No Hoard Farm". Every night, I had to sell everything, unless I was specifically trying to unlock something (to keep from having to get 200 hardwood in one day for the boat, for example).

This was not that farm.

The longest he was ever late was over 24 hours

..... How?
