Hanging out with my nieces/nephews I now understand most the discipline I received as a child was most likely because I was being annoying and nothing to do with right or wrong.
  • We are taking the same approach and every word you said landed with me, matched my experience.

    I'll add that this is a VERY different strategy from the approaches taken by both my partner's and my parents.

    It's not easy, but I think we're raising better humans than ourselves. On days when it's exhausting and you're burned out and you feel like you can't do it, cling to that.

    You're doing great. It's worth it. Keep it up! 💚

  • What is a video game that you'd love to play, but no one has developed yet?
  • I really love, and really miss, healing in wow raids circa WOTLK through Cata, specifically using healnot and custom keybinds to keep people alive. I don't have time or budget for an MMO in my late 30s, nor do I see that easing up anytime soon.

    I think a game where you had to do raid mechanics/puzzles while keeping NPCs alive through healing could be really fun, even without a loot grind. Or a game that dropped you into a multiplayer raid encounter without the crap around it. Either could be great.

  • Extremely confused Hexbear admin, a Lesbian Trans Jew, unironically posts and praises Stalin -- You know, the same Stalin who executed Queers and Jews
  • Do you have proof (or literally any evidence) of their "legitimate beliefs" of Stalin as a good person, or are you extrapolating an opinion you already believe and want to fight about from the use of a single emote? Because it certainly feels like the latter until you provide anything to back up your statement.

  • Are there any reputable independent gaming sites left?
  • I mostly just follow the nextlander crew and Jeff Gerstmann. They aren't much more than podcasts, there's little to no written work produced, and they don't really consider themselves gaming journalists, but that's pretty much what we're left with.

    "Influencers" and corporate cash have largely killed games journalism.

  • Anybody Else Heard of Death to Smoochy (2002)?
  • I didn't find him particularly scary in Insomnia, but he was believable and his character had depth which meant a lot more in the context of the film.

    Insomnia is still a bit underrated, buried in the larger Nolan canon. It's an incredible and inventive crime drama, but probably (one of?) Nolan's weakest. Which is to say it's broadly only like an 8/10.

  • Isn't it obvious, Harry?
  • "Also what's the ethical structure behind literally enslaving a species of creatures and forcing them to cook our meals and keep our homes?"

    "Well Harry you see, they're lesser than us and also they like it that way"

    "........"

    (Harry Potter? Not a great book series, from a not-great philosophical mind.)

  • What are you Reading? (August 2023)
  • I'm on Matter and I'm loving it! Player of Games and Use of Weapons are my favorites in the series so far but I've loved each of them for their own reasons (with the exception of the short story collection State of the Art, it was fine but the rest of the series is on a different level!)

  • What are the best FREE games to play when you have freetime?
  • Cosmetic and "ease of play", the most common recommended purchases are vault space and organization tabs that help give you more space and control over loot management.

    I've jumped in this month for the first time and it's wonderful! And absolutely overwhelming. Everything is a system and has a learning curve. Everything.

    It's wonderful value at this point! Coming up on a decade of quarterly updates worth of systems, mechanics, and updates. It's fantastic!
