Fired Marathon and Destiny 2 devs supposedly said similar. Hmm…

Saber who? adds to ignore list on Steam

Yes a one-seater that requires a helmet with zero storage and is so low that it would instantly be flattened by some wankstain driving a bro-dozer.

My friends are well aware of my antics. I tend to wander off or get distracted by the scenery or interesting things. But I’m good at figuring things out and any sort of combat so they usually grab me for things involving that.

Playing with new people in a clan for a serious FPS game made me realize I probably drive anyone else crazy.

Also have to take into account that the early 8-bit systems from Japan were often marketed towards children in the US. They would ramp up the difficulty of games - which were usually too expensive for kids to purchase on their own - to bring more longevity and perceived value. Games were viewed as expensive at a time where “Kill your television” was a common mantra, when parents wanted their kids playing outside as much as possible, and the consequences of Reagonomics was coming into full effect.

So Nintendo played it safe for a very long time (even more than they do now) and still got a lot of pushback and flack from conservative parents.

How bizarre. Smells a lot like the Sympathy Loophole combined with Munchausen by Internet. This community is like a small town so I’m not sure why they think this will fly. But here we are… feeding the narrative.

Maybe do a sleep study. Lots of undiagnosed sleep apnea around this age. It gets worse over time. Even if you don’t snore.

edit: feeling déjà vu. Did i recommend this to you before? Either way, most of this is definitely not normal or age related.

Also, turn off biometrics and disable all data sync. Disable bluetooth and wifi. Never put PIN in within visible range to prevent shoulder and camera surfing. Refuse to input PIN if demanded. If they stick you in a room, don’t touch anything. If they try to build rapport, invoke your fifth amendment right and demand to speak with legal council. Be a broken record if you have to. Staying silent isn’t enough in some states.

Never assume this is safe enough.

If possible just get a cheap, dumb phone only used for travel. Have an innocuous phrase you can say to your loved ones if you get busted that indicates you’re compromised. Cuz they’re probably gonna go after them too.

I believe you. I’ll try on my other machines later. fwiw shows “bad media error” on Voyager app for lemmy and mobile Safari.

Nope.

Togepi. Just too dang cute. I had the little animated figure. Maybe still do somewhere… And Psyduck since he’s basically my spirit animal.

Wonder what set him off. Seems pretty irrational. Demolished verbally and physically. Super embarrassing.

edit: saw the follow up video that gave context. This guy then grabbed a switchblade and went after that Kratos sized dude and other people. Way to throw your life away.

My SP is in pretty good shape. I’ve only had to replace the battery and got an Everdrive for it. However, I am wary of taking it outside of my house since it’s not exactly easily replaceable.

I picked up a Brick Hammer because it was close enough to the same experience with of course, a lot of improvements. But also because it wasn’t packed with unnecessary things like joysticks, etc. The buttons are almost perfect too, which i am super picky about. If this had been out around that time it would’ve been a tough decision.

dBrand’s unhinged relative.

Oh damn, I forgot about acme. Plan 9 is a trip.

• fave: vim

vim is basically my foreverhome at this point. I feel clumsy trying to use most other things. But I also like emacs shortcuts and learned a bunch of them unwittingly via bash having that mode set out of the box.

My father has untreated trauma via a fucked up, physically and mentally abusive upbringing and later suffered multiple TBIs he refused treatment for which made him even nastier.

He is a narcissistic, manipulative, bully and only truly respects people richer than him. He is obsessed with wealth and status and has no true friends. He is now elderly, lonely and bored shitless from having zero hobbies after working nonstop into his sixties and won’t leave me the hell alone because I’m one of the few left that can (barely) stand him.

Even still, I catch him lying constantly and I just put it in my pocket because it’s pointless to call him out. If i point out his schemes with evidence or his rose-tinted glasses, he flies into a rage and doesn’t speak to me for months.

He is incapable of grasping how his actions to get back at my mother for divorcing him hurt his children more than anything. He cannot understand why my sibling won’t let him see their grandchild anymore and cut him out of their lives because he accused them of being after the inheritance after trying to reconnect. It’s always, always someone else’s fault when you get down to brass tacks. He always has some perceived enemy, and usually it’s because they refuse to accept the mask and the bullshit behind it.

The worst part is he isn’t always completely awful in short visits. But it took me years to not shut down, disassociate or go into fight or flight mode just being in his presence. He tried despite all this to be a good Dad but it’s his vision of it. His assistance or motivation always has a catch or a price. And he doesn’t see what’s wrong with that. It’s all he knows.

So yea, having lived with this broken ass person in my life for decades, I react to this shitty trope with a level of scorn that is hard to describe.

The flip flop grifter club including herself, Margo, Rogan, Tucker, and Elon are irredeemable no matter how they try to spin it. Absolute dirtbags.

We need a new plague.

Around here the bands were popular but most people just dressed in the usual thrift store punk rock or hardcore attire. Kids with the getup were considered something else and referred to as scenesters.
