I have a Tsunami grinder that is excellent. It doesn’t get gritty and stiff to turn from kief like most grinders I’ve had.

A markedly less successful ripoff of Tubular Bells

Hear me out, I like Similasan eye drops because they’re just saline with an alternative preservative. The flower magic stories are just for fun. My eyes like their saline blend best x_x

Yogurt with fruit and cereal. Unlike many (most?) people dealing with the munchies, I regularly run a calorie deficit. So I try to keep relatively healthy sources of calories on hand. I get full fat Greek yogurt and mix in whatever fibrous fruit. Lately it’s been raisins and cheerios. I’ll usually have a mug or small bowl of that after dinner as a sort of sturdy, healthy dessert. I wake up hungry a lot less often when I do.

It’s really inappropriate to question the integrity of a man who is clearly holding a baby.

The season where Kelsey Grammar was in rehab and Niles was effectively the main character was the best season of the original show by fucking miles. He should always have been the secondary character.

Truth. I don’t have to deal with this now, but give me Mariah Carey over “affordable woman who claims to sing like Mariah Carey” any day. There are so, so many bad Christmas covers it is ridiculous. I don’t like Mariah Carey more than anyone else, but she is legitimately talented and skilled. There are worse singers and musicians covering the same songs.

Plague, the infestation afflicting the whole muskrat nation.

I’m just trying to sell the idea to the war fetishists who get to make all too many decisions around here x_x Rural conservatives voting for the party their daddy and grandaddy did will vote to turn their tractors into tanks. Forget the temporarily embarrassed millionaires. We need the temporarily embarrassed generals vote.

The war in Ukraine proves that farm equipment can and will be converted to war machines during times of crisis. Irreparable tractors will leave our boys in the heartland unable to adequately defend themselves in a land war! We need national security arguments for more things. Our overseas presence is strong, but our homeland is a mess.

There is literally only one person developing SDV and Haunted Chocolatier. This is literally an impossible statement. There is only ConcernedApe, and he has not announced any cancelation.

Tbh I play the hell out of some Kairosoft games on mobile <_< I love watching my little guys thrive.

BG3 is a huge exception. It’s more popular by far than most games of the sort. And still only two of the dozen gamers I work with has played any of it, and they are both done with it.

all these gamers glowing about how great it is

Where? If you mean online, yeah, online discussion and gaming publications focus on more complex games that more serious gamers are playing. There’s just more to say about them. And news sites are gonna pay more attention to exceptions to the norm like BG3. None of the many gamers in my life are talking about it. If you’re hearing about BG3 and other huge, complex games regularly, it’s because you are spending time in spaces where and with people who care about them. Because it’s not just everywhere.

Oh yeah I know that, it just seems like these type of games are super popular.

I honestly think that’s just your circle. That does not describe the majority of the gamers I know or have known. I have always been in a minority for wanting to do math in my free time and have to find places online to discuss these games because usually nobody else in my life is playing them. Most of the people I know who played BG3 did so because it is popular, and they avoided as much of the math and homework as possible. And most of them are done with it.

There are tons of games that don’t require that sort of knowledge base or study investment. It’s a minority that do. But you’re on Lemmy. This is a self selected community of extra thoughtful nerds. This community is more likely to be excited about games with homework than your average gaming community. I do genuinely love the research part of complex games. I like crafting builds and planning battles. I loved both Divinity Original Sin games and will love BG3 when I get there.

But sometimes I do just want a game for my hands to play while by brain takes a break. That’s why I spent most of the summer with Earth Defense Force 5, a 9/10 space insect exploding experience. Highly recommend it if you don’t want to fuck with the details.

Maybe her third thumb is just a little slender. If I position my hand like that, I can almost reach. I don’t think hands with those proportions would be impossible. It’s probably a little wonky genetically, being her third arm and all.

It’s extra impressive. It got 15 fingers right!

Solo I play Wing Diver. Some of the charge up weapons are great, but everything that isn’t my lightning whip feels situational. I’m pretty sure a Wing Diver could 1 on 1 god with that thing.

If I have a gaming partner, though, gimme that Air Raider life. Glass canon is fun, but only by myself. Technical and structured is tied for my favorite overall style of play across all games. I like either having a specific answer for every situation or having one answer (BE VERY FAST AND DANGEROUS) for every situation.

I’m back to Mass Effect finally. I played through the first game one and a half times, trying to iron out the story I want to tell and bring to the second game. I burned out a bit doing sidequests. I took a break to do some mindless hyperviolence in Earth Defense Force 5. Now I’m back to the Commander Shepherd universe! I gotta finish out my NG+ because I’m excited for the second game!

Maybe he means trans-Atlantic rights?
