Grrr. Why isn’t Morse Code one of the language dropdown options?

“Which word is confusing you, Brainstein?”

Reminds me of this.

In an unrelated though, this guy has such an American hair style.

Well, fuck you, I’m three shits in before I even saw this post. Fuck you. Shit on you, in fact. Shit on all of you.

Yes.

Everywhere, probably. Here in the UK we have the Wombles. Everyone knows Great Uncle Bulgaria is the leader, but the police do nothing. I don’t think he’s ever been arrested even.

“It’s happening again.”

My coworker sits under my desk and licks my feet when he’s been fed.

Packing chips to make sure the air reaches you unbroken.

Fallout 5, please and thank you.

But, if it’s my vision, with no compromise:

• the map is the whole of the contiguous US, with parts of Canada and Mexico thrown in for good measure
• there is a main campaign with a more coherent story than those we’ve seen so far, but it’s almost irrelevant
• given the vast scale of the map there are hundreds of huge, complex, side quests involving different regions each of which is as full and complete and compelling as the main campaign
• the world is alive: it slowly changes even without your input if you’ve visited a place. Settlers slowly clean up rubbish, remove corpses, plant crops, rebuild walls and roofs, redecorate, begin trading, establishing lines of commerce and communication between settlements. You can speed the process up through your actions, but once you’ve visited a place, things will happen. The flip side is that sometimes bad things will happen: diseases that wipe out a village, fires, natural disasters, raiders, supermutants, whatever.
• NPcs age, change, die, have offspring, move locations
• over the course of many in-game years, you can actually make the world a better place, bring safety to the wastelands, wipe out nests of deathclaws, etc such that they don’t respawn
• reputation matters but travels organically, if you save a village (or commit brutal murder) your reputation changes but only at the pace of communication, if you go somewhere completely new, quickly enough, or far enough away, they won’t have heard of you
• NPCs will react to you appropriately, e.g. raiders with pool cues won’t attack a PC wearing power armor and carrying a minigun, townsfolk will be wary of a stranger who’s walked into town covered in blood
• dialogues choices will be complex, meaningful, and consequential
• game actions will also be meaningful, and consequential

I’m sure there’s more but that’s off the top of my head.

Just five more minutes

Why would that stop him? Chisel one of the others off.

I said that when he announced he was going to put his own fat, pudgy, orange face on the $100 bill.

Same for the first thing, not so much the second. I curate my subscribed list and find that much healthier than all, and certainly healthier than the reddit front page which I hardly ever looked at.

It was more real than you are, chuckles.

Ha ha ha! Fucking beginners! You stick the post-it on the bottom of your keyboard. Then leave your keyboard upside down because you don’t need a keyboard to get onto porn hub.

Should I follow up?

Fuck no. Either he’s playing games, in which case, red flag, avoid - or he’s so emotionally immature that he can’t maintain an emotionally stable front. But most likely he just wanted to fuck and dump. You’re well out of it.

I spent over 15 years on reddit and got over one million karma through shit-commenting. I’m still chasing that juicy karma, even if it doesn’t exist.

Don’t you dare say my fucking name! Don’t you say it!

When you’re a five year old, one year is 20% of your entire life. When you’re a 50 year old, it’s 2%. As you get older, time passing does speed up, at least from your older perspective.

For me, and I know it’s a bit of a meme, but the 1970s really do feel like they were only 30 years ago. It’s like my brain picked 2000 as the point from which I understand and reference the passage of time. I have no doubt that when I’ve been alive longer in the 2000s than the 1900s I still won’t feel like that’s true.
