We probably don’t agree.
I probably said something you didn’t like.
You look lovely, by the way. New shirt?
Magnesium threonate cured my insomnia, it’s fucking wild how well it works. I’d tried everything until I discovered it, from melatonin, to antihistamine sleeping pills, all the way to downing 350ml of whiskey every night just to force sleep.
Magnesium works better than every single thing I’ve tried (but you HAVE to let yourself fall asleep when you feel it starting to work.)
Not OP, but I went with PopOS. I’d used it in a VM for a few years, so I decided to install it when I finally decided to make the switch after Microsoft decided to reveal that dystopian “record everything on your screen, coming to a PC near you soon” bullshit.
I did the same the other day, although I’m dual booting as I still need Windows for a few things (namely Photoshop.) Slowly getting used to Linux though, and it does feel… free. It’s extremely nice. Games run better (I mean fuck, the entire computer runs better.) I already use GrapheneOS on my Pixel 8, so it’s nice to have my PC finally move towards privacy too.
Came here to post EveryNoise. Absolutely incredible site that just fucking WORKS. Can’t believe I went as long as I did without knowing about it.
Innertune. It hooks into YouTube music without any ads, no account creation required, offline listening, and it’s free. One of the best apps on my phone.
I’d prefer to use my vote with stupid optimism that things may get better instead of ‘punishing’ society because people are, for the most part, dumb as fuck. I believe things can improve. I’m not going to let self destructive sentiment win out even in dark times.
Early 30’s here. I was at a small gathering my best mate put together about a year ago, and his 19 year old nephew was there. He expressed his interest in anime and we got chatting. While showing me some newer anime-related TikTok stuff (I have no social media myself and haven’t really kept up with modern anime), I heard some fucking awesome ‘aggressive trap’ stuff and asked him who the artist was. It was Lil’ Darkie and I was immediately hooked. I went down a rabbit hole searching his best stuff as well as other similar artists, and now have a huge playlist of great music I’d have never discovered on my own.
imo music discovery is a pretty organic process for most people. It’s cultural and spreads via word of mouth. Chatting with younger people may be the best way to go, but understand that the youth rightfully don’t want us in their spaces lmao
He’s been flying helicopters for like 80 years.
Aussie here. What’s a tip? /s
imo Tooie it’s vastly inferior to the first game, and feels like it has no concrete identity as to what kind of game it wants to be. Banjo-Kazooie even to this day is a tight, defined, and perfectly balanced game that genuinely holds up, but I’ve never been able to get through Tooie without becoming either bored, frustrated, or both.
I get that Rare were trying to push the boundaries for video games at the time, but it just didn’t translate to a better experience.
Reality is a dream. Try to enjoy it while you’re here.
Are everyone’s dicks really pixelated?
Believe me, the world is better off not seeing me in a short skirt and thigh highs.
I like girls. I like how they look, I like the way they sound, I LOVE their fashion options. It isn’t really any deeper than that. That said, I’ll usually always play a male character in a Souls title, because [insert valid reason for inconsistency here.]
EDIT: I guess if I had to further expand on this, I’d say that female characters give me a way to explore options I don’t have as a tall, bearded, broad, ‘built’ man. I’ve always loved cuteness, hyperfeminine fashion, “girly stuff”, and so in addition to just really, really liking girls, video games allow me to explore the cute, feminine avenues I can’t in the real world.
Also, as another commenter stated, I’d also just rather look at a girl’s ass than a guy’s for the entirety of a playthrough lmao
“These aren’t windows, they’re just sophisticated high resolution 3D monitors. NASA has had this tech for decades, they’ve just never let the secret out. You’re not seeing the Earth, you’re seeing a video. Why can’t we go see it with our own eyes outside? Exactly. Seems very convenient we’re being asked to wear suits with image projection helmets.”
You will never win with people this fucking stupid.
Audibly encouraging fights among males literally ties into the theory. The hypothesis is that female moaning attracts nearby males, the males want to procreate, but only one male’s genetics are going to actually form a child, and it is in the species’ best interests for that child to contain the DNA of the most-likely-to-survive and procreate. It doesn’t matter whether the guys all form an orderly queue to some daily gangbang (which was absolutely NOT the case), or start fighting amongst themselves to be the only one with a chance (which includes the possibility that another had ejaculated inside her prior to this) - the purpose of her vocalizing was to encourage males in the area to compete, especially if she’s already in the middle of the act. There’s enough merit here to suggest further study into the area, especially given that neither of our theories are proven.
You seem to be fixated on an argument I’ve not made, and I may not have worded it clearly enough. I’m not suggesting that primitive human females started moaning in an attempt to initiate a gangbang because cave-dwelling women were insatiable whores or whatever. I’m suggesting that those vocalizations were a method to incite breeding competition between males in the area, and that this aids natural selection.
Except there is clearly a potential link that deserves further study to come to a conclusion? There’s more credibility backing this being a possible origin than there is to the argument “stupid horny male scientists like thinking about caveman gangbangs. Social construct, guys.”
I’d like to hear an actual counter theory that isn’t hiding behind identity politics or an emotional response. I’ve already stated that this hypothesis isn’t concrete fact, but you’re being willfully ignorant if you don’t believe there’s any merit to it.
OP asked a question, I (and a few others) posted a possible answer. The pushback against this theory in particular seems to stem not from a place of reason, but from a place of emotion. I’d love to see genuine refutation to this theory, because it certainly isn’t concrete fact, but when the only thing I see is “lol stupid horny men and their fantasies” and “where were the WOMEN on this scientific study?” you’ll have to excuse me if I don’t think they’re worth entertaining as good faith rebuttals.
Get a load of all the people calling bullshit on my comment lmao.
Honestly, a lot of first party GameCube games have aged incredibly well. Mario Party, Wind Waker, Warioware, Smash, Sunshine, Luigi’s Mansion etc. all still look fantastic today, resolution aside.
