My son gets nervous every time we play chess, wondering what clever ploy his parent is planning. Always seems shocked at my moves and contemplates them heavily before taking his turn.

But he’s a fool. I’m just stupid.

Didn’t they take away crowd-sourced subtitles before?

My friend is a technical writer and just lost her job because “chat GPT can do what you do!”

She then informed me that she knew 11 other people who got fired due to the same thing. And now those companies are realizing how badly they fucked up and are frantically trying to rehire.

My parents bought us a Nintendo 64 for Christmas when it came out.

Never played any games or consoles that came in between those two. It was wild.

Won’t someone think of the poor billion dollar corporations!!

It really is something special! Once I started to think of them more as wild animals with their territory needing to be respected, it was just a matter of adapting to their habits and working around it.

The Crabsquids & Warpers, though, fuuuuuck them. Crabsquids spooked me no matter how many times I came across them! And the Warpers are just assholes. Lol

Subnautica.

The first game to make me truly sad that I had finished it. Wow, what an experience!

I loved exploring and piecing together the story. I loved discovering new creatures and ecosystems. I loved finding strange things and figuring out what to do with them.

I’ve never played a game quite like it before or since. My god, it was really amazing. I beat it without needing a guide or walkthrough. It’s great enough to the point where, if you are curious enough, you won’t need one!

It’s certainly a slower-paced game, as it’s not all non-stop action, so it’s not for everyone. But if you’re a patient and curious person, this may be for you.
