Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

The Amish are playing Farmville IRL. Graphics are unreal

it's because in the 60's and 70's there was a dramatic change to global issues and focus with more wars and protesting bigger causes, and before that point, societies were more community focused and that change started to greatly diminish local concerns and community-based ideals being as forefront for people.

Been spending most of my life in an Amish Paradise.

Home office folks:

OMG OMG I CAN U DO THE PALADIN AND DARK KNIGHT

Would like to add that reading is also a really good replacement to the internet. As it generally covers more in-depth knowledge than online videos that only exist to generate views.

Sometime ago I made it a rule to finish 1-2 books per week. Idk how long I can keep it going but I've been keeping it going for a few months already.

Once upon a time people on this site recommended "The Mythical Man-Month", the first thing I did after I read the post was running to library for the book, it was a good read.

9 pregnant women wont give birth in 1 month

I thought the jp were being silly but there really are a thousand eye drop spamming alchemy bots lol

So silly

(Or not necessarily eye drops specifically, doesn't really matter)

Well I'm married now and moved, and we've almost got all the utilities setup.

It's a bit surreal, and I'm gonna hafta fight my Dad to take my own dog up there next week, but it's pretty nice all things considered.

King beds are legit, and my wife and I are both tackling the settling in. We've got the living room setup for movies and gaming. We still need to unpack all our kitchen utensils and dishes.

Family is helping a bunch. Her Dad and Mom came up and helped us organize and situate rooms, and then we watched The Phantom Menace on Blu-Ray. It was a nice wholesome little evening.

Negan, this post was for you, bruddah man.

Yes! Priorities!

Good morning you who properly flush your toilet. NOT good morning to you who dont. Just pull the damn buttom.

Its statiscally proven that people who dont flush their ***, also dont properly clean their *** after.

Let alone washing it

i have fallen like Iblis i am now playing horizon do not tell Draylo neither kipling i dont want to be sexually harrased

I see you fallen to the dark side.

Enjoy leveling without trusts. Not sure what the appeal of that is.

I googled this, you are HARAM sir!

For the person on Reddit that asked; yes I exist.

10 years from now when most movie theaters are gone, you will get groups of people nostalgic for going to the cinema and they will open these nostalgic movie theaters where people can pay $150 to go see Harry Potter or Star Wars and wave their broom/lightsaber while eating $30 popcorn and $20 coke. These people who hated going to the cinema in 2024 and played their part in their destruction, will yearn for it 10 years from now and have the rose tinted glasses in full effect about how good it used to be and how social an experience it was.

Prviate servers are the same kind of deal.

The great thing about party leveling was it was very social, before social media was a thing and before you had online friends and places to talk to others on. It was a massive novelty to interact with people from all around the world and talk for hours in a video game. You could actually make real friends you cared about, because it was incredible you met someone from America or Canada and you were open to talk with them for hours and get to know them. It's not special anymore when you force people into a party system, people don't want to talk about nonsense for hours with some random person in a party anymore or want to make a friend cause they already have friends on Discord or whatever they can go talk to.

You can't take something that was good because of the time and your/others mindset of the time, and transport it to 2024 and it feel the same. If you try recreate the party based leveling in 2024 you just get a load of sweaties telling you how to play, talking about mechanics from wiki, and droning on about what gear they want next and what they want to farm in sky. You won't get deep and meaningful conversations about transformers or how the things hanging from the ceiling in CN look like balls.

Old FFXI was good because of the time, not the mechanics of the thing. Private servers can be a short lived novelty, but it's ultimately stupid and depressing cause it's just not going to be the same as it was and ultimately it was crap to play and wasted 90% of your time.

to steal the meme posted before here ages ago



this is what it was, and it was ***. ill take how it is now over that anyday.

And Haram is 5/7 Harambe.

Totally agree with Radial, even aside from the culture of the time you can't take back the knowledge everyone has. They are different enough to irritate people who know how it used to be, but not different enough to provide a feeling of exploration or a new challenge. The race to be first on anything is just a matter of how many hours you play, because there's no content that is actually challenging when your most elite players already know the entire game inside and out.

This is fine, right? Nothing wrong here?
Its a list of game studios that have supposedly closed in 2024 alone. I put supposedly cuz i didnt cross reference to verify anything.

Now's the time for Phil Fish to crawl out from under a rock with Fez 2

The Acolyte deubuts tonight at 8pm EST, looking forward to it. Expect it to be the best series since Andor.

100%. I was saying the exact same thing to friends the other night

Disney could recreate an old movie called "2 Jedi, 1 Cup" and it would be the best thing for the franchise in forever

Im getting tired of hearing that chick from Datacamp every single video I open.

It sounds like a human trying to imitate an AI trying to imitate human.

Sometimes the Coke feels way better than usual, and I cant stop drinking it

the more you buy, the more you save

So, two episode premiere of the Acolyte. Wow, it's terrible. First action scene was straight out of the Matrix, and the result of the fight was so unbelievably dumb. Boring CGI, poor costuming, the alien Jedi looks like a human with her face painted green. The writing is corny, it's an expensive looking show. But it's not good.
