Get your Silmarilli-on

Hadnt heard of this one so i did a search but anker games (dot) my is the first one that came up and looked sketchy, so i checked fmhy and they link to ankergames (dot) net, so i assume thats the reliable one just fyi.

CBT is not supposed to teach that your thoughts or feelings are ‘wrong’ just that they can be harmful or unhelpful, and give you strategies to move past them when thats the case. Thats what emotional regulation is, and what ideal parents would teach chldren. Its perfectly valid to have a negative emotion, but not all responses to it are appropriate, and there’s no point in getting stuck on a negative emotion jist because it’s ‘valid’ especially if that can be harmful to yourself or others. Its fine to feel sad or angry, but its not healthy to want to stay that way. Youre suplosed to recognize why you’re sad and angry, take steps to fix it if you can, and move past it.

Archive.org has been operating for 30 years. You think your shitty little sarcasm is equivalent to an institution thats been around nearly as long as the internet, and yet has entirely resisted and avoided any of the enshittification thats infected literally everything else thats come after it? The internet archive is one of the last fundamentally good and public serving institutions and somehow you’re licking the boots of record companies trying to capitalize on expired copyright claims. Reexamine your priorities and fuck off while youre at it, since your ‘better idea’ is clearly to just do nothing at all.

Well yeah, peobably got too cold for them to rot they were refridgerated all winter. Of course i dont know exactly where you live or what the weather is like but give it a couple months.

Sounds like a cool idea, why don’t you set it up?

Makes me think of Squirrel Nut Zippers

Yeah idk, i tried it wirh spec ops and hated it, but the aiming in that game felt weird no matter what, i disliked it with the touchpads too, and ended up just using the joystick which i barely ever do for anything that involves aiming. Ive heard Doom 2016 is a good one to try it out on so maybe ill try that, i just do like to have the steamdeck resting and pretty firmly planted on something when im playing to rest my arms.

I have a steamdeck and just could not get used to gyro, i hatdd jt so much. But the steamdeck is heavy and i usually have it resting on a pillow or something so i dont have to support the full weight. Also the screen moving whenever you move gyro bothered me a lot, i dont want to have to be moving my neck and arms around to play a game. I could see it being a lot better with just a controller and a screen in fixed position though, but i like to play games in handheld mode and i think itd be frustrating switching back and forth.

What is? How does a checkmark help distinguish between two people that have the same name? The checkmark just shows that the person is who they say they are.

I found the opposite, it had very little grinding required. It does assume that you’ll do most of the side quests, but i found that by doing all quests available at my level or under that i was always overleveled for the bosses. It does warn you that its intended to be difficult though, with an option to turn down the difficulty. I also found the side quests to be genuinely interesting and diverse, and not repetitive or grindy at all. Its a long game for sure, but i never spent any time just grinding. I ran past most monsters once i had cleared each area for the first time and they respawned.

Seems like it might have been autocorrect, but thats kinda hilariously ironic.

People use usernames like they always have, and rely on reputation to distinguish themselves from the fakes? Senator ted ceuz makes an account called ‘senatortedcruz’ or if thats taken ‘therealsenatortedcruz’, and the mechanic makes one called ‘tedcruzcars’ or whatever. I dont see how your example is even relevant, because under a checkmark verification system both the mechanic ted cruz, and the senator ted cruz would be valid and deserving of a check mark, so there has to be some other way of distinguishing them anyway.

I was disappointed by the lack of twin peaks references, im glad at least one was made.

If they (the rich) dont grind your meat, they can’t have any pudding. How can they have any pudding if they don’t grind your meat?

I know there were plenty of ways to get a free .edu email circulating around the internet for a while too, because they could be used to get student discounts on subscriptions or software. 4chan users seem like the likely sort to try that loophole.

da da da The hardest button to button

I mean there are non-magic ways to secure a phone line or conversation. Cell phone calls are already encrypted, which doesn’t help you if the cell company is ‘in on it’, but you can use a secure messaging app like signal to encrypt texts or calls., provided both people are using it. But lots of media acknowledges the danger of using your own device, and even goes so far as to depict characters theowing away their phone or smashing the sim card. Using a burner phone is not entirely secure but is pretty reliable since you basically become a needle in a haystack of millions of people. Somebody else mentioned person of interest though, and thats a great show that takes the premise that an ai system is eatching and aware of every communication that happens digitally, as well as all camera feeds that are hooked up to a network.

I mean both are the problem, obviously. And they’re both symptoms of tne larger problem, which is late stage capitalism slowly sucking every last drop of labor value out of everyone. Game companies are making more profits than they did 30 years ago, so you can’t tell me they ‘need’ to raise prices. And their CEO salaries are higher than ever, and developer salaries have not risen accordingly to justify the price increase. If a game company said ‘we’re raising our prices from 60 to 90 dollars, but we’re also giving every employee a 1/3 salary increase’ people might not be happy still but it would be a different conversation. But why should people who are struggling have to pay more for nothing except an increase in ‘shareholder value’ and the c-suites salary package? Thats fucked.

Ive seen urinals that were basically the nautilus design like 25 years ago in canada. Not sure where they all they went though because i dont recall seeing any recently, but its definitely not a brand new concept.
