My family usually get an “okay I’m gonna go now. I’ll see you later” and that’s about it.

But by then they can tell I’ve had enough of people today and want to leave so they’re never surprised.

And if anyone wants to think I left because they arrived, so be it. I am not the shepherd of my family’s emotions.

I can’t just leave without saying anything though. Not unless they pissed me off.

I’ve got a pretty nice system.

1: PANIC

B- Go

You may notice there’s no conversation before the final step. This is because my anxiety doesn’t allow me much talking until I can decompress.

It’s worked so far.

“It was great seeing you again”

“but… You just got here five minutes ago”

“SO great…”

I had put so many hours into trying to sort my bases for NG that I didn’t even want to try and start over for NG+.

If I ever DO decide to pick it up again, assuming the save is still compatible I made a separate save file before finishing the game just to be sure.

Who knows, maybe someone will make mods to make it the game we all wanted it to be and I’ll give it another go.

Star field couple have been a lot of things if people who haven’t picked up a controller in decades hadn’t decided to try and make it as generic and casual as possible.

And maybe it’s just me, but the second I

, I lost all interest in playing the game itself.

They made the content of individual plays not matter to me, so once I did a few speed runs to the finish line I just deleted the game and haven’t played it since.

Also i could never figure out their base management system. I was hoping for something like “fallout 4 settlements in space” but all I got was “way less complicated Satisfactory”.

I stopped playing about a month after it came out, so there’s a chance they fixed some issues that I didn’t know were issues, but I still haven’t had the desire to try playing it again.

A balrog? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Located entirely within the confines of the walkway leading from the crack of doom?

Which is insane, how do you pillage most of the planet looking for spices to sell people and then have the blandest food in the world…

I’m sure that would have looked great to all the gathered men who were still alive.

“oh yeah, the elves showed up and one of them went up to the crack of doom with Isildur after his father died, and the elf came back alone and wouldn’t tell us what happened inside. Something’s fucky. We better prepare for an attack from the elves.”

Whether anyone actually threw hands immediately or not, men and elves would have a far shittier relationship after that.

The question is, did more suffering occur because Elrond didnt do this? We can’t know.

(but probably)

My wife isn’t quite nerdy enough to get this yet, and my parents haven’t watched TNG in so long they don’t remember the phrase.

I have nobody who gets this in my life…

I see no reason to “cut myself off” at any point, I still find games released in the last few years that look interesting, and some with release dates TBD that look neat.

I haven’t bought a new console since July 2015 and have no plans to buy a new generation any time soon.

When my current console dies, I might upgrade, but likely I will find a cheap used replacement and keep playing what I already have.

Someday I will update all my stuff, just not today.

News flash!

This, just in: “Leaders of capitalist meat grinders prepared to lie to keep money flowing and try to pull in more”

I’m shocked.

Having just finished all 3 on my pc…

Dafuq you smokin, Bruh…

I will say though, 1 is the cluniest of them, for sure.

Gotta love that small government allowing states and smaller to govern themselves rather than trying to butt in where they aren’t welcome, right Republicans?

Any time my father brings up stuff like this, I remind him that he and his brothers drove their car onto a frozen lake and almost broke through the ice, and more than once they bought tennis balls, soaked them in gasoline, and threw them at each other with welding gloves.

I know for a fact that he and his brothers did tons of dumb shit, and I won’t let him forget it even if he finds it convenient when comparing generations.

My 30 year old grandma car can make it to 40 before I clear the entire intersection most of the time.

10mph is less than the indoor go-kart track barriers near me are rated for.

Security theater at its finest.

Honestly, anyone who paid mild attention in chemistry class can figure out some of the easier explosives.

Every single company pouring money into the incinerator is positive they’ll be the one to crack actually useful AI or even actual GAI.

You know, I was about to jump on this deal but then I noticed the shipping costs

Bruh I’m not paying for shipping, no deal.

Oh look, it’s that time of the decade again.

More half life 3 rumors.

Wake me when Gabe holds a copy in his hand to announce it to the world, to be released immediately.
