Hope is two things: wanting a certain outcome and believing it’s possible. Hope can be delusional if its object is impossible, but in no way are all objects of hope universally out of reach. As for hope being brought by despair… well this is plain silly as the definition of despair is literally hopelessness. In that sense I’d argue that hope is actually brought by perceived uncertainty, which sounds pretty boring although it has the merit of being reasonable.

Break it, confirm it’s broken, fix it back. Makes me feel better every time.

This would fit I suppose.

giggity

I want one that goes up to eleven

hey no fact checking pls 😡

Plenty of normal people don’t have time for a single live service game

There’s this theory that if an infinite amount of Bored Apes make games for an infinite amount of time at one point they’ll make a decent one. I don’t buy it.

I didn’t realize the new Steam family sharing was so detrimental to close ones away from each other. Their Guide & FAQ is clear with their intentions:

While we know that families come in many shapes and sizes, Steam Families is intended for a household of up to 6 close family members.

To that end, we expect the requirements for participating in a Steam Family to change over time as we monitor its usage and add requirements to keep usage in line with this intent.

Last line is pretty brutal. Apparently even family members living in the same country & different household might be in for a surprise eventually. That’s really saddening because at first glance this overhaul sounded amazing considering a single game was locked by play instead of the whole library.

For peripherals (screens, audio) rtings is pretty cool. They take testing seriously with a scientific/engineering approach.

hi :3 yes

Are you… sure now? Have you been cured of the uncertainty? There is way?!

I mean what is the progesterone saying

What’s it say?

bruh 🐸

The Archangel of Architecture has risen to smite this blasphemous construction out of existence.

I see, thanks for the clarification. That’s an unfortunate shift.

Well you know, too often just to be gay is to do crimes.

I’m with you for cringe, but simping… eh idk. I’ve been under the impression the term encompasses unhealthy one way obsessions which are often self destructive. Of course some dumbass will cry simp at any lambda fan of fine things, but that’s just abusing the word no?

I have the utmost respect for ConcernedApe’s Stardew Valley, I’m happy it’s a success and I’ve played it plenty. I have to say though, there’s something in the game that leads some of us straight into a minmaxing management race-against-the-clock frenzy. I think I could play it casually, but I’d need an unwavering discipline… and that’s the problem.

It’s at least a century old problem imho. In the 1950’s clever capitalists where already looking for ways of “Instilling in the buyer the desire to own something a little newer, a little better, a little sooner than is necessary”. I can’t believe how often I’ve had to buy a new fucking toaster. It just keeps getting worst.
