Must be a slow day in the news if the BBC is just now covering Ben Drowned…

Edit: link to the creepypasta page for the unfamiliar

I also recommend the Godzilla creepypasta for anyone who’s never read it. The ending gets a little too cheesy, but it’s definitely a classic.

Man, just in time for them to release the 108 version of their keyboard…

Well, the ones we get in the store are typically a lot younger and have had their head and legs removed already…

Kiwi, on average stand 1.5-2 feet tall and weigh around 3-8lbs depending on their size and sex. Roughly about the size of a chicken. This one is average sized.

Just FYI, there are a number of controllers out there for people who only have the use of one hand that are relatively cheap. I don’t always have the use of both hands, and I can definitely say that it’s possible to learn to use regular controllers effectively one handed as well. Both the Logitech F710 and the 8Bitdo Pro 2 work really well in my opinion. People have laughed at me, but the 8bitdo Zero 2 surprisingly works really well too, but is much more limited for inputs and thus, more suited to retro games.

There’s “Tip of my joystick” on .ml, but it’s not very active. However, you’re already here, may as well ask.

Definitely the kind of game that you start playing and then suddenly it’s dark out, your boss is mad because you didn’t show up for work today, your parents are calling because you haven’t talked to them in a week, and bill collectors are writing you because you haven’t paid your bills in a couple months…

Highly recommended!

Meanwhile, at Nintendo…

My guess would be that this is in terms of reactivity and toxicity and the likelyhood that these factors will kill you. Yellow things like lead or lithium won’t necessarily kill you, but they will poison you pretty good. Red elements like potassium and sodium would potentially blow your tongue off due to their reactivity. At the least, they’d likely give you gnarly, severe chemical burns. Licking red stuff like mercury or arsenic will most likely kill you. Purple stuff is either extremely rare, unstable, and/or extremely radioactive. Licking it would cost a fortune in lost materials and likely straight up kill you from radiation poisoning or some sort of other reaction. For instance, francium, you’re definitely dead from radiation poisoning. So

“please reconsider” = you’re going to die painfully and horribly.

“you really shouldn’t” = it’s probably going to kill you, and, if you do survive, you probably wouldn’t want to be alive long after anyway.

“maybe not a good idea” = it might not kill you, but you’re gonna be pretty sick.

Just give me a notice before I buy, “Warning! This game is in early access and hasn’t been updated in X amount of time. It may be abandoned.”

If they’re going to do anything else, block sales to the game after a certain period of inactivity and notify the dev to either update the game, delist, or make the game free.

That way the game isn’t lost to time, people aren’t getting scammed, and it places some accountability on the dev if they want to continue their project.

*Sobs in Chrono Trigger*

A long time member of our community passed suddenly a little more than a year ago. Her father appended her steam name with “Rest in peace.” He arranged for an online memorial for her online friends and encouraged everyone to DM good memories to her accounts. Her account’s sat there in my friends list, offline, ever since. It was a great way to honor her, I think she’d have loved it.

I just had the unsettling realization that, over time, our friends lists will literally become virtual graveyards.

Pfff… Didn’t even calculate for the rate of evaporation of the water… Amateur…

There’s no way he topped an ostrich…

If anything, the ostrich fucked him…

And it was ashamed afterward…

Nope, I work in a facility that’s 24 hour staffed. Holidays don’t really apply to us. This was actually the first year I’ve even had Christmas off in like 5 years.

Voices of the Void has been my go to time waster for a couple years now. Dev is a little weird, but the game is amazingly well done and gets somewhat regular updates that expand the story and add new content. You are essentially a scientist sent to work at a SETI-like site in Switzerland. Your job is to maintain the site and search for signals in space, analyze them, and then ship them out to your colleagues, for which you get paid to buy supplies and other things. As you play, random events occur, some funny, some scary. There’s tons of items to buy and decorate your base with. Lots of locations to discover. Sooooooo many secrets to find. I’m constantly impressed by all the work they’ve done with a very small team.

My only complaint is having to reset my save when an update comes out. It’s generally worth it, as there’s usually new events that you’ll miss otherwise, but having to redecorate the base and lose collectables you’ve spent hours on is a bummer… That and I hate the new drive storage rack. I wish they’d bring back then old one as an additional storage item.

Also, the whole damn game is free.

Exactly, they’re apologizing, not committing seppuku.
