More realistic? These people want a healthy distance between reality and the objects they fantasize over. They'll just get a humongus knockers mod later, but now they're upset at not being pandered to

After extensive googling, some wikipedia work, and checking my horoscope, I would not recommend swimming in it. Apparently it's a non-newtonian fluid.

I'm playing Caves of Qud and someone is making a DLC for Planescape: Torment. Waiting for the Commander Keen reboot to declare peak nostalgia though

Great question. I'm not in ether, but I suspect these result from very rich people being told they can't build something somewhere, or that they need to change something to meet building codes. Or that everything on the horizon doesn't match their vision. Megalomania in short

I mean, a 2000s looking website WOULD be different. Internet technology hasn't been great for awhile. Everything is subscription models while years of earnest posting in subreddits fuels billion dollar software that threatens our jobs. Might be cool to do something that's digitally amishish

I figured that would be NelliesNest, on account of the Shrek/Ratatouille Impreg comics he makes. Checked his Patreon and it's got a plug for his "beautiful mother" and the hats that she knits. Which isn't very bad boy tbh

Instapots are pressure cookers, which were more common in households prior to the microwave Air fryers are convection ovens, which have been in wide use since the 1940s If you don't want to buy something that's fine, but it doesn't mean the rest of us aren't legitimate cooks

I feel like this is always more dramatic than it needs to be. For the fruit corps a successful banana crop is one that can be shipped 2000 miles, 365 days a year, sell for a dollar or less a pound - and still make money I bet we would still have bananas but they'd be expensive or seasonal

Sure seems like the plan to get profitable involves making everyone else pay the electrical bill too

There's talk in here about electrical rates leading to a massive transfer of wealth from the average person to data center owners. I just don't see that being stopped in this economy, with technology that has yet to prove it's profitable

I finally played some Diablo 4. Totally understand why people have drifted back to D3. End game is an absolute grind. The masterwork system disincentives experimentation. The skill grids suffer from UI bugs and a general clunkiness. The matchmaking in no way encourages community. Bleh.

People are having trouble making ends meet and suddenly games are more expensive as well. I think everyone has been burned by getting a crap $70 game at this point too. The hits this year are at a lower price point - Helldivers came out at $40, Balatro is $15, Blue Prince is $30 and so on.

AAA game companies have a lot of issues. They keep investing in games people don't want (trying for the next fortnight) making games by committee instead of having a clear vision of what the game should be, shipping broken games they put review embargos on, etc. 1/2
