it may be slightly healthier to instead have chicken nuggets for dinner some now and thens

Breakfast for dinner is always an option. Pancakes, bacon and eggs, even cereal.

I'm gonna take both these bits of advice.

Actually, excuse me, I only took the first. Had a healthier early dinner.

you are allowed to say the word ‘fuck’ on the internet you wouldn’t think this one is controversial, and yet

And don’t come here with your ‘f**k’ and false sense of decorum. Either say fuck or don’t say it at all.

I can’t fucking believe it.

THE FUCK YOU SAY!

TV guy VJ Boyd grew up in a very Christian household and was home-schooled. He said he had never heard or seen the word fuck until he got on the Internet in high school or college. He thought it was just an internet word.

Fuck is such a versatile word. Why would you ever fucking stop saying "fuck?" I mean, "Fuck the fucking fucker" is a grammatically correct sentence using variation of that word almost exclusively.

folding laundry is the worst chore

Correction, it’s the most watching TV chore

As an Age Care Facility Laundry Worker I fully agree. It is way worse when you have to do your own at home.

I'll scrub toilets before folding the laundry.

but would you wash the dishes as well?

Thankfully I now have a dishwasher, but as a former dish bitch I didn't mind doing the dishes too much.

Those two, along with _washing_ the laundry, are both things that I actively do more often than fold laundry 😖

I was about to go on a rant about folding when I realized you probably meant more generically 'folding, hanging up and putting away laundry' but I have in fact arranged my life so I have to fold as few things as possible. hanging up is easier and I don't care if my underwear is wrinkled

Hard disagree, cleaning the fridge is worse

Specifically fitted sheets

Can confirm.

you spelled "dusting" wrong

it helps if only one person in the family has the kenning o' the fitted sheets, and also VIEWS on that subject (and it's not you)

It's not great but it's better than mowing the lawn which suuuuuuuucks

The great thing about living alone is that there's no one to judge you if you just throw it in a big pile

not as bad as ironing it, dog.

I much prefer narrative-heavy RPGs to open world exploration games that don’t give you any direction, I get bored and lose motivation to keep going if I don’t have a story I care about

Sub fork - the reason I think, and even say, I like an RPG isn't always accurate. What works in one doesn't work in others. In short- Some games are just Good, and require no further analysis.

Like Disco Elysium, for example?

yeah-yeah, blah blah, just roll your initiative an' tell me what you got! (jeez) 🙄

Agreed on this. I can enjoy (and appreciate and do play some) open world but it’s the story and characters that keeps bringing me back to my favorite RPGs to replay over and over.

I like a mix, or at least when I don't feel like doing story stuff, I can just dick around on the side. It really depends on my mood at the time.

inventory and weight management sucks, I don’t want to spend hours trekking shit out of the dungeon, give me a magical backpack that can hold 473 suits of plate armor any day

No one has ever not had fun carrying an entire army’s worth of ordinance on their person and deploying it regularly.

You're cookin' on these 2 points! 🔥

You get a bag of holding, you get a bag of holding, you get a bag of holding...

Although BG3 does have its weight limits I find I hit them only rarely, and that's when I've been carrying around a massive caravan stronghold box from early in the game that I keep forgetting about. Just imagining all these fights while carrying a great big strongbox and 3 suits of plate mail.

I think weight limits are usually just straight-up bad and a sign of a deeper mechanical rot (why are you letting me pick up forty thousand coffee mugs in the first place). That said, RE4's inventory is perfect because it's an actual mechanic in and of itself.

Exactly. If I can loot a leather cap from every bad guy I find, then you're implying that someone in this world will just buy every bloody used leather cap I hand them? Your money system is probably broken then. "You killed DRAGON. You find 137 gp." A much more worthwhile system.

it is possible to make it an interesting mechanic if specifically designed that way but the number of games that actually do that are tiny

I actually am amused by ( and even enjoyed one) of the sub sub sub genre of games where the primary mechanic is the inventory system. I do not mean Death Stranding, we can go deeper. Backpack Hero, eg.

Long Dark was good for this

ohh i got into a few games recently that have *infinite* backpack space and an auto-sort 💜

Tenser's Floating Disc for the win

No spoon in the kingdom is safe!

Put a salad or some other veg next to 'em and you got a healthy meal! I've been doing the morningstar farms fake nugs occasionally in the air fryer. Highly recommend!
