For sure. I wasn’t even mad it was rushed and just was stoked to have it on pc. I remember a petition going around cause everybody wanted it so bad.

It was a culture shock when I realized how well later games played lol

No need to apologize. I have a feeling you’ll be paying for your crimes soon enough.

It’s like post-marketing. You’re already a user/customer, but companies still want to put psychological hooks in you.

Kind of reminds me of steam’s insane discounts or epic giving away games. That’s more geared toward bringing people in, maybe.

I’d like to believe some instances of this sort of thing can be out of genuine appreciation for supporters, but I might just be naive… It is straight out of the abuser’s handbook.

“I know you’re sick of it, but I’m gonna need you to get the chicken Parm again. Trust the process!”

Unrelated, but I’m forever stuck trying to choose between a professional GitHub name and something like GermanBread.

But babe, we have to go out tonight. It’s for science!

The Prima guide can’t even help you here

Reminds me of the firetrucks coming to my elementary to show the kids and teach fire safety but…different

Well obviously the robots would be good instead of evil that way

Plot twist, Marx and Lenin are men. And she really put together that sick outfit without a word??

To be fair, I did use a controller, so it wasn’t that bad. It even ran way better with the hd mod than the 360 version ever did.

I did get kind of masochistic with it though lol. My last run was a soul level 1 that I think I stopped playing around Anor Londo. If I remember correctly, the archers were rage inducing and I never got back into it. It’s probably still my all-time favorite game, jank and all.

Oh I played the hell out of the Prepare to Die edition of Dark Souls. Keyboard and mouse was the objectively wrong way to play the game lmao

I thought you needed a body part to resurrect? I might be thinking Pathfinder, though cause I mostly play that.

Hey, that rules-lawyering is someone’s fun!

I majored in CS, and really wish I had the capacity to join it with biology and deeper engineering. So much of the research is only possible with computing, and it’s so cool to me.

It all comes back to systems for me, and life contains such incredible composition. It just, uh, finds a way.

This is one of the coolest sections of biology I my mind. Absolutely mind blowing that these systems could exist and be studied.

There’s a pretty good SmarterEveryDay video about a flagellar motor in bacteria, I think it was. Not sure how related to ATP synthase it is, but it’s so interesting even how we can study stuff at this scale. The video goes into some detail on not only imaging, but how it’s all synthesized with computing. The protein mapping part is really neat.

Fair warning, the SmarterEveryDay guy is Christian, very Ameri-coded, and obviously covers his perspective with creationism, if anyone is super averse to any of that. He’s a pretty cool guy, though, and approaches things in a very geek-like engineer and intellectual way that I enjoy.

I was going to make a joke that you didn’t even mention the tubes, but TIL that’s anti-net-neutrality idiot propaganda :( Idk why I thought it was, like, Tim Burners Lee or someone trying to explain things to non-nerds.

I literally have that one followed by this

Oh shid, oh frick, I already laughed

Just adding this to the watchlist, don’t mind me. The name’s on her apron for anyone wondering
