I highly recommend Buck Meek.

He’s the guitarist for Big Thief but his solo albums are some of the best country I’ve heard in a long time. And free from the toxicity of modern country (as far as I can tell)

If you like Bethesda games, you’re gonna like this one. If you don’t like Bethesda games, you’re not going to like this one. I don’t know what else to tell you, bud.

Don’t mistake the bitching of a vocal minority of lemmy/reddit posters and YouTube influencers (who bitch primarily for clicks) as “everyone”. There are actually a lot of people who like these games - myself included - and a lot of them aren’t on any sort of social media. I loved vanilla Oblivion, Fallout 3, Skyrim, and Fallout 4 and love modded versions even more. I’m having a blast with vanilla Starfield right now - easily dozens of hours over the long weekend. And I’ll probably love modded Starfield even more as well.

My wife, a couple friends, and I have all put a ton of hours into this game and absolutely love it. I put several hours into the shipbuilder alone. Every hand built sidequest I run into feels like a TNG episode. And I love the kinda Becky Chambers / Star Trek-style utopia with mystery and drama theme they’ve got.

This is the most Bethesda game they’ve ever made, for better of worse. It doesn’t hand hold you. There are plenty of times where I’ve looked at my quest log, found nothing i could do except the main quest, and then decided just to jump to a random system - only to get pulled into some crazy new adventure for a couple hours. You’re supposed to be an explorer, if you put even the smallest effort into exploring, you will be rewarded.

A lot of people complaining were never going to like this game or any Bethesda game and I don’t know what to do with those people. The amount of constant negativity on the internet makes me really appreciate stories like TNG and writers like Becky Chambers and Cory Doctorow, because they’re so positive and affirming and optimistic and when they criticise, they also offer solutions. And this game really scratches that itch for me.

And after almost 40 years of life dealing with the constsnt cycle of negativity and hatred and anger and frustration and drama, on the internet, a global scale, and in my own life…I’m just tired. I can’t play games with “edgy dark stories” anymore. I can’t go back to New Vegas because its bummer after bummer. And i know a lot of people thrive on that “scortched earth” bullshit but I just can’t anymore.

I just…wanna sit down and play a game. And maybe one where everything is okay for once. And this is that game for me.

I couldn’t give two shits about a fucking icon.

Just use a PC, where “act on thing” can be one of 57 possible letters and/or combinations.

It also helps that she’s a pornstar and can fake an orgasm like nobodies businesa.

At a certain point, the sheer amount of fan housing mass is blocking air flow more than anything else.

Boomer humor.

Except, if you refuse to breathe, you won’t die, you’ll just pass out and start breathing again…which kinda kills the tension implied by the meme.

Also anti-vaxxer, Trump supporter, radical anti-medicalist, HIV/AIDS denialist, and notibly supported by Steve Bannon and conservative super-PACs as a “chaos candidate” against the dems. I listened to him back when he was on Air America decades ago. He has always been a wacked out nutjob.

You’re better than this. Hatred of the straw man doesn’t suit you. And it sure won’t solve any of the issues in this country. All it does is grab your attention and distract you.

K.

Can’t believe you guys got baited by this boring low effort rage bait garbage. Come on Lemmy, you’re better than this.

Pointlessly gendered?

Everyone loves candles. Some guys are just pointlessly insecure about candles being a “girl thing”. I’ve also known girls that love the smell of gasoline. People be what they are regardless of their lower bits.
