  • Quite a lot of perfectly harmless snakes around, including most pet snakes, and even the non-harmless ones usually won’t try to actively kill humans.

    I’ve never had a snake, but I’ve had pet insects before, who I’m pretty sure didn’t have the mental capacity to like me or even realize that I’m caring for them. With those kind of pets, it’s not about having a companion or building an emotional bond them, they’re just interesting animals to observe. It’s a different kind of pet.






  • I’d say it’s less the surgery being addictive and more that the type of person going for plastic surgery in the first place may often have body dysmorphic disorder, so they’ll keep finding flaws in their appearance. The surgery may even result in additional perceived flaws, which will lead to a cycle of getting even more procedures done.



  • I was about 2 decades later, but I bonded over games like Pokemon and later made many friendships in minecraft. Wish I could revisit that time. I think it’s less about any particular era in gaming - it’s about being young. Kids are still forging friendships over video games today - just different ones (although, at least in the case of my nephew, Minecraft is still one of them :D).



  • I broadly agree, but I’ll add that knockout tour is where the game and its open world design really shines. That should probably be considered the main mode for this game rather than grand prix. I hope that they’ll add a 3-lap “classic grand prix” mode at some point. The world in free roam does feel quite empty unfortunately.







  • I’d recommend Sonic Generations (or Sonic X Shadow Generations), which is kind of a best-of of previous Sonic games’ levels, tied together with a new story.

    Sonic mania is also a great game, reminiscent of the first few 2d Sonic games. But, just like those games, it doesn’t really have much of a story or character interactions.
