My friend, your heartfelt recommendation is appreciated and will be ignored because I’m not into Asian mystique.

For my part, I I recommend that you revisit the DOOM series. Of course you want a modern zdoom egine to play the eatly ones. Do not overlook Sigil and the other John Romero wads, which are legit extensions to the story. Proceed to DOOM 3 and discover BFG Edition, which includes an entirely new campaign called The Lost Patrol. After that play DOOM 2016. Stop there. There has never been a better video game made since. You can give up gaming now.

I don’t really want any magic powers or some final culmination. If I’ve used the (100 cells!) on my cutter, you get to meet my welder, and if you’re out of reach, eat some rivets. I’m not playing some bad guy, but almost the entire game for me is bloodshed, up close, and hardcore. Ya fuk the main mission.

Reading your comment, I’ve just learned more about the story that nearly 250 hrs of gameplay got me. So the end is hokey, huh? Big surprise. I hate Sarah.

Hehe. So, I’ve got 243 hours into Starfield. Level 45.
For me, the game is side quests, killing bad guys all over the place, and taking over as many ships as I can.
I’ve completely ignored the main mission. Haven’t really done any crafting other than upgrading weapons. I started a base and forgot where its at.
The companions are all horrid. I hang out with the robot guy. He’s got good guns.
I use Heller’s Cutter, Arc Welder, and Auto-Rivet. Nothing else. Seemed fitting for a miner. And people burn real good.
I mostly don’t use ship storage except for uncommon stuff. I go through the ridiculous torment of tossing all my junk on the ground in a hold of my ship. Silly fun.
I don’t do a lot of space combat. I’ve got a stack of Class C ships whenever I get around to optimizing them. At some point that will be a new piece of the game that I’ll play.

I may never pursue the main mission. Looks kinda dumb. Can’t tell you exactly what I’ve found fun in this game where I’ve opted out of most of the game. But … every now and then I quicksave and just start burning down all the civilians. A lot of em won’t die. But I keep trying. And then I load my save, because I want to be able to land there again.

Its from somebody with a “fun” mom.
As in, “I’m not crazy. I’m fun.”

Dunno. I might let Mom swallow me. What’s she like?

EFF gives out tiny stickers at conventions for that purpose. I’ve been staring at an EFF sticker for years.

I appreciate knowing this. If I’m dying from consuming high velocity plastic shrapnel, I won’t expect xrays to help.

I love lemmy. Imagine this conversation on reddit. I’m not envisioning any smiles.

Agreed… But the way it was introduced…
One day AI will get that good at annoying people. Not yet tho.

I know I’ve read all of Lemmy when I scroll as far as this post. This is where I stop.

Willpower is not some magical force that you can limitlessly tap

I’m sorry. This is not true. Now, I’ll admit, I’m not all that well balanced. That sorta comes with having limitless willpower. And it doesn’t solve most things, really it’s just a different set of problems. But this perspective you share, its the perspective of a NORP. Outside that sandbox, there are crazies that have all the juice it takes for anything at all. Nice to meet ya.

you’re already doing what you can and want to

Well put. This is the true path.

Do I get to use my manic superpower?
If I have to slow down to sleep and eat and stuff like normal people, well then I guess 3 hours of max focus.
If I’m manic … I AM focus.

I understand this … but i don’t care.
The fact that I get the reference does nothing for me.
At least I can complain about it. I guess that’s something …

I guess this does matter to me, because every time i see new reddit, I take the requisite 10 seconds to retype the URL and change to old reddit. I never log in anymore, but I do make sure its old reddit.

Its Broadcom’s server right now. ESXi. That’s quite a bit like the Devil.

It’s gonna be running Proxmox long before then, or I would be happy to oblige.
