Wandering Adventure Party

Anyone else wondering how many have blocked you?:)

@NullNowhere Start by acknowledging that you get why. Dude is obviously high on the girlfriend supply at the moment.

Then set boundaries, since you are all scheduling this it’s a scarce resource. Emergencies happen, but this clearly isn’t it.

Then end with an out. Does he want to take a break? The problem isn’t the GF or spending time with her, the problem is the lack of clarity.

I think an ultimatum is kinda shitty, but requesting introspection isn’t. I.e. he should figure out what he values.

Imho. Good luck!

@NullNowhere By all the rules and regulations I am sure to be heading south of heaven at the end of the game. Thing is, I have a sneaking suspicion that already happened.

@NullNowhere You might be, gasp, human!

@NullNowhere What does a fletcher do? Or a cobbler?

English makes little sense, especially since it’s borrowed so much.

@NullNowhere If it purrs, does that imply that it hiss?

Why do I read YouTube comments?

Maya Higa works with animals and rescues and as an educator. As I like to be educated I watch her videos sometimes. They are honestly pretty good. Though I more avoid the influencer side (she knows one of the groups and uses that to get her sanctuary funded. I think that is more than fair!).

She recently went around to various cool places in the country. Animal related. So she was talking about bears and some factoids and stuff. Kind of a cute (the bears!) video with some neat facts.

Some dipshit had go “why aren’t polar bears, the most dangerous bear, called white bear????”.

Took me two minutes to find out why. Because a dude named them that in 1771… ice and white bear are other common names.

I don’t know if it’s humans or bots or agents or agent bots. But it’s just stupid.

Just watch the videos and get educated.

Does anyone find value in reviews online anymore? I honestly don’t. They don’t help me get any insight into if I would enjoy something. It’s just empty opinions that tries to be either super positive or super negative (and often makes absolutely bizarre statements).

Apple keeps pouring money into AI, but I can’t say <Siri turn off *room* lights except *lamp*>.

They are acting like the jr developer that has read everything on the internet but has no experience with reality. The whole AI cabal does to be honest.

Fix Siri and stop changing the damn UI to look, feel, and function worse. Jobs is gone, and it’s painfully apparent that you have no replacement.

(Everyone used to copy Apple’s UI. For decades. Now nobody cares.)

@NullNowhere Stark contrast to those very early TTRPGs like D&D. They look so lacking in design and all sorts of things.

But I think they had more magic.

There goes Electronic Arts, RIP.

I found another fantasy anime (LN/manga) with a main character named Lloyd. Amazing. I wonder why they are so enamored with that name.

@NullNowhere I was right in trying to get new sources for anime then, as I got bamboozled into thinking it was the now sadly normal 12:(

That was the worst cliffhanger (it just kinda, ends, without fuck all conclusions) of an anime in a long time. Pretty sure there’s no chance there will be another season either. I kinda liked it even if it was kinda silly, but I don’t think it got a big following.

Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra, if anyone is curious. Bah.

@NullNowhere Patched up clothing is an esthetic in and by itself, in other circles you’d probably been seen as cool for doing it and wearing it:)

Don’t put yourself down. You enjoy it, hurt no one, and quite frankly help everyone (the less waste part). Go for it!

@NullNowhere People are pretty likely to imitate, good and bad. Which is why moderation is so important imho. Should moderate away aggression and attacks etc. Create a non hostile social media and newcomers aren’t as likely to act up if they went to stay.

But I am all for fucking swearing. I find the notion that it’s somehow bad to be silly.

@invalidname @fujiwara They are cargo cult obsessed about one big release a year, while quality keeps going down:(

Stardew valley isn’t at all chill. It’s just stressful with a ton of optimizing and planning!

Are there any truly chill games like this? Where I can slowly build something up and putz around, but with no damn time pressure and the likes?

@NullNowhere Take care and get some rest!

I think that Isekai is probably the genre that fascinates me the most in anime. For a multitude of reasons.

But I can’t get over the massive oversight when they have someone middle aged die and be resurrected as a child. Yet they never make any references back to the previous life, no using previous experiences or knowledge. Totally squandering all the potential for interesting plot points.

Think about what you know. If you woke up in a pseudo fantasy/19th century world. What kind of knowledge could you make use of?

Just saying.
