New week new games! Whatcha all been playing? I decided to finally finish paper Mario ttyd (emulated on dolphin). Almost done with it! Trying to beat bone tail on the 100 level dungeon rn…
Still playing Shining Force 2, almost at the end. I read somewhere that Peter is the real main character and kind of agree.
I also started playing Sonic Adventure 2 because it looked cool and was less than $2, and omg, it might be the worst game I’ve ever played. I looked it up and it apparently was rushed, had a small team, and was made during a turbulent time at Sega. But it’s just bad. The controls are garbage, camera is even worse and sometimes does not let you move it to see where you’re going. The dialogue is thrown together poorly so the characters are often talking over each other in cutscenes. It’s a shame too because I can see the wasted potential. At least the chill Knuckles levels are still fun to play, and the music is memorable. I really hope the “Dark” path is better than the “Hero” path.
Who came up with this, and when? I got the impression that this is a relatively new invention, even though it seems so simple that it makes you wonder how this could even be something new. You still meet people who have not heard about it, even though they have a modern sleeping pad that could be shnozzled....
I’ve never heard it called by that name before. But I’ve had a sleeping pad with that type of pump bag for a few years and it’s great. 10 pumps and it’s full.
I see a lot of posts here with zero or negative total votes. I posted one just a bit ago and it went to zero pretty quickly. I don’t personally care, but it seems curious. It’s not like this is a political community or something divisive. What would make someone downvote before they even know what the song is?
I think some people have the setting on where when they interact with a post, that hides it from ever being shown to them again. And the quickest way to interact and hide something you don’t want to see would be the downvote button.
That would explain why it’s only ever a few downvotes here and there, compared to when someone posts something actually unpopular or offensive and it gets mass downvoted.

I am not an audio person, so do not have much idea about technical terms - but I hear the words “bass” and “treble” almost everywhere now, especially in the equalizer app that came with a new bluetooth earbuds that I bought (yes, I am still very much a wired-earbud guy, just dipping my toes in the wireless earbud ocean)....
My parents raised me to always say “yes sir” and “no ma’am”, and I automatically say it to service workers and just about anyone with whom I’m not close that I interact with. I noticed recently that I had misgendered a cashier when saying something like “no thank you, ma’am” based on their appearing AFAB, but...
Dont know if anyone would be into this. Its kind of ambient electronic, prog and post rock influenced. I really cant sing but its rare to have an empty house and the option to record like this.
I feel like I do this a lot with podcasts. I started watching the Gus and Eddy podcast and finished it about a month before the last episode was released for example....

Less DRM, smaller filesizes, no stupid anticheat, and no always online bs. Anyone agree with me?

Yesterday I passed a barbershop and saw ads on their wall outside of men with beards and short hair. It is a revival or saving electricity ?
