I’m really into JDM cars, which are always interesting to see in America. I had a Toyota AE111 Levin for a few years. Ran into the most unfortunate luck with a large hailstorm and losing my job in the same week. Sold it for a fraction of its value to someone who wanted to fix the hail damage.
That car was the perfect car for my level of skill in performance driving and the style of roads where I live. I’ll never be able to replace that thing.
Big Money Salvia on Internet Comment Etiquette makes full on short films for his ad reads. They are pretty great.
It’s actually got a huge area of land called The Great Dismal Swamp. Lots of park land and wilderness in rural Virginia. Someone from the area may be able to weigh in on it. I passed through years ago and the name struck me as hilarious.
Reading so many stories like this through my life, and now all this on top of that, is relying on the lived experience of transfems to make absolutely sure I never bother with it. I would love nothing more but I’ve already got too much to worry about. I don’t need all this, too. I wouldn’t survive it.
It’s Yoshi. The “T” stands for “Tax Fraud.”
At least somebody is.
Getting comfortable not owning your games?
I stopped posting but keep the account active because a lot of the Japanese artists I follow have stopped using other sites that were once pretty standard and never moved away from Twitter. There are also some people I don’t want to lose touch with that never moved away.
When I was a kid, I never worried about owning a home. My parents couldn’t afford it, I assumed I wouldn’t either. Back then it was because I never thought I’d be successful. Now, it’s because it’s unattainable, even at the mild level of success I’ve achieved. What I have now would have been more than enough in my rural area 20 years ago.
An open world, survival, party based rpg. Survival elements are light and focused away from micromanaging every crop placement and every floorboard. Player parties build cities, forts, roads.
It’s like: Minecraft without the block gimmick or detailed building capabilities. Skyrim with more playable characters in a player built world without a set storyline. Valheim without the heavy focus on survival elements or linear progression. Party management and diversity like a tactics RPG.
I’d love it to have several for game loops to bury yourself into. City building, character builds, crafting, gathering…
And multiplayer capable, self hosting if desired.
This is a pipe dream. A game that huge is too difficult to make for a game that wouldn’t have larger appeal.
Now this is schizoposting.
I actually stopped using it a few years ago because of a weird glitch I kept encountering where it would forget how to render non-standard symbols on websites (I forget the technical description, it’s been years). Sites like Twitter became neigh unusable because I couldn’t tell what any button was.
With all the recent problems, I know I want to switch back. Just haven’t had the time and patience to do it.
Some of my favorite games from back in the day had a half dozen vendor intros. There were a few years where they were completely out of hand. It’s not all so bad these days.
There are some wild ones out there. I got a .wtf domain a while back. I regret nothing.
Way back when, I had a job where I used them regularly. Always had one on me at work. And therein, I had 4 or 5 at home any given day.
It sounds like an apartment building restriction, not a Spectrum restriction. The building wasn’t run for ethernet so they just put in wifi with a single modem for the building and called it a day.
My really obvious one, and a huge source of problems for me, is Discord. But the biggest one was a wild one:
Irfanview
It is a super-fast image viewer and simple image editor. Supports every format I’ve ever thrown at it. Bulk conversion and resize works like a charm. Hell, it’s half the reason I haven’t moved to Linux for my daily use.
Irohas Melon Cream Soda. Long since discontinued Japanese seasonal item from about five years ago. Others come close, none are as good.
Yes, because it’s tasty.
Bring back Strong Zero! Yes, I know they still make them and you can still find them. But they aren’t as convenient anymore. And who knows how long they will last now. I’m sad.
