Sounds like Murphy’s Law of Replacement Items

I didn’t come here directly after reddit. Stopped off at mastodon first, but it was too twitter-like for my taste. Saw Lemmy on a list of alternatives, and this place scratches the itch pretty well.

For a slightly above average banana, I’d pay negative 6.1 million dollars.

I would pay negative 6.2 million dollars to eat a banana at a press conference.

There are some decent to good video games available on Android & iPhone, of a wide variety of genres.

If you have the self discipline to not let gaming take over all your spare time (whistles innocently while totally not looking in mirror), it’s absolutely worth getting into.

Where to start? I recommend keeping it simple. If you don’t already own a desktop or laptop computer at home, it’s probably easiest to stick with games on your phone.

• ask friends & family what games they play, particularly those who fall on the same side of the Apple/Google divide as you.
• open your app store and look at lists of popular games by genre. Pick a free one, download it, and try it out. If you don’t like it, delete it and try another one.
• if there’s a news or culture site whose judgement you trust & like to follow, even if it’s not a technology or gaming related site, it’s worth spending a couple minutes to see if they have review articles or recommendation lists available. You can even find a related Lemmy community and ask there.

Personally, I play the following:

• an older logic puzzle game
• a free klondike solitaire game
• Egg, Inc - this is an idle incremental game available on both iOS & Android
• Leaf Blower Revolution - just started this one. It’s in the idle incremental genre as well. Available on iOS, Android, and through Steam. Supports cross platform play by way of cloud saves. I picked it up a week ago and it has been fun so far.

I don’t have the reflexes for active combat games. I like RPGs but prefer to play those on desktop.

Do you have a recent picture of her you’re willing to share?

One of our cats is a turkish van. He’s mostly white with orange spots on his head & legs and orange stripes on his tail.

He’s certainly derpy enough, and we joke that he’s orange in spirit.

I have not tried any of their games, actually.

4X games, specifically any of the Civilization games I’ve played (everything but SMAC & Civ: Beyond Earth).

MMORPG, specifically Elder Scrolls Online.

We have a turkish van cat. He’s very loving and affectionate, and isn’t just the noisiest cat I’ve ever met, he’s noisier than every other cat I’ve ever had combined. My favorite thing is when I walk in the front door, I’ll hear a thud as he jumps down from wherever he was napping, then he sprints toward me while meowing the whole way, and ask for all the pets I can possibly give him. Naturally, I’m happy to oblige him.

I’m a little surprised Turkey came in at only 14%

I stuck my dick in crazy.

Life pro tip: don’t stick your dick in crazy. Just avoid crazy altogether.

In my defense, I was 20, she was the first person I ever had sex with, and I was too horribly depressed to recognize what a bad idea it was.

Wearing a rubber every time unless you’re in a committed relationship greatly reduces your chances of an STD or an unwanted pregnancy.

Cheese pizza is probably one way to get yourself banned (at a minimum)

In my defense, I’m half asleep, and due to lack of caffeine, didn’t notice the bit about “which could actually happen in the next 5 years.”

So with that in mind, I’ll say something about environmentally friendly raw materials for super efficient battery storage.
