So I don’t have a habit of playing terrible games, but I can say the worst games I’ve played are sneaky. They trick you into thinking they might have something going for them, only to never go anywhere or get better.

Husk is the first one that jumps out at me. It announces itself as a silent hill inspired horror game based on domestic violence themes. After three hours of painfully slow controls and enemies that don’t make any sense to the story, it just suddenly ends with a cliche, tacked on, “you’re the asshole here” monologed conclusion with no explanations whatsoever.

Another category of absolute butt-trash I’ve fallen for is games that appeal to edgy teenagers, and so have stellar reviews regardless of how they in fact suck shit.

Lust for darkness is a prime example. It’s a horror game with nothing remotely scary in it about a sex cult full of people with British accents in America who refer to themselves as cult members, and whose outrageous taboo sex acts are really just regular shit but they wear masks. It’s like a wet dream fantasy for a 13 year old incel. It’s not scary, it’s not clever, it’s not even just porn, and it’s most of all not fun.

A game that fits in both of these categories, that I played to completion just hoping I’d click with whatever coolaid the reviewers drank, was The Cat Lady. Reviews made it sound so deep and emotional, and it seemed like it was going somewhere for a minute, but at the end, it was just a cringefest hidden object sidescroller with weird voice acting that was targeted at angsty children who romantisize depression and death.

Years after leaving my negative steam reviews I still catch flak on occasion from superfans of these dogshit time sinks who have never read a book in their lives.

Jail?

So I’d cut Google out entirely for the last year or so, but I still haven’t found a good search engine. DDG has been my go to, but it’s not great, and this old style Google seems to be close to how things were before all search engines sucked ass. Do you have any recommendations for alternatives?

Not that I have one, or will ever update to W11, but like why?

I don’t know about samsungs, but Sony and any android or Google TV is a breeze to hack. Vizio and lg are a pain in the ass but they can be done, so I would assume someone smarter than me has figured it out and posted a tutorial

Yeah it’s a good thing homework doesn’t exist.

-a matter of legal and economic interpretation

If there’s a possible interpretation that a company is a monopoly, they’re a monopoly.

Starforge?

Seems like something along the lines of “everything is hopeless so don’t bother trying.”

They’re large flippered dog like creatures that take over docks and harbors.

You’re supposed to vaguely imply the existence of those, not just give away secrets in public bruh

It replaces paying for Spotify because its possible to download Spotify premium. Best of both worlds. Use Spotify or YouTube to find stuff, send it to a seedbox, load it later at home.

Biggest downside is most phones don’t have SD card slots anymore.

You should never do anything that isn’t fun. Everything is fun if you make it so.

I though it was shitty games done quick. I would check that out.

(It cuts out the middle man of having to find facts on your own)

I’m sure that’s just a perk and not indicative of the new age of captured information wer’re currently living through.

I’m a 6’5 reasonably muscular male running two offices entirely staffed by women, except for two gay guys. There’s no masculine competition, which is nice, and communication is much more personal. Due to my strict rule of not considering any of my coworkers potential partners, I make sure I’m as supportive as possible without being threatening to any of the girls or their respective partners. It’s very interesting seeing how patients act towards me vs the other workers. They seem to treat me as an authority figure, and take what I say at face value, even if I’m just confirming what one of the women already told them. The girls have to convince patients they’re professional and not jerking them around, where I can just state something and they’ll believe me. I’m viewed as a scientist, and the women are viewed as salesmen or interns.

I mentioned my stature earlier, because it’s led to me being the office protector. I will defuse situations, defend my workers, and even fire patients if they offend anyone else in the office. If a rep for a company talks down to any of the women, or only wants to speak to me, I won’t do business with them.

Ive hired men before, but they never last. They either make the girls uncomfortable, try to start relationships, or try to butt heads with me as if they hold authority over anyone else. It’s very easy to see how someone with less feministic views could easily take advantage of the situation I’m in.

Edit: they’re always fucking cold though. 73 degrees is not fucking cold Donna. I’m wearing a suit. Put on a sweater.

Another species is very useful for unity, not necessarily for us to band together against, but because a proper intelligent alien kind of invalidates every religion. All the conflicts from culture clashing suddenly become pointless.

Or at least racists will have something else to look down on.

No, it’s a freeway loop, so there’s never a jam, and it was like 10pm. Took the normal way back and it cut 12 minutes off a 30 minute trip.

They’ve been secretly doing this for years. I switched out after I realized the weird roads they were having me take weren’t to avoid traffic, but because every corner I turned at had a 7-11 on it. The roads in my area are set up like a grid, so there’s many ways to get everywhere. I’m thinking like 3-4 years ago I noticed the change. I would check with my friend’s phones, and notice Google would give them different directions than mine. Last weekend, a friend was giving me directions to a spot in a neighboring town, and it avoided the freeway to have me drive through the business district of both my town and the destination. I work in the town I was heading to, I know how long it takes to get there. It told us to go literally the worst way possible.

Both of your wives are plants by the marketing firm to make sure your attempts to remove all ads are stymied. You’ll have to kill her. I’m sorry.
