Hey, what’s this skull and crossbones flag doing here? Oh right. That’s my pirate flag that I fly high as I sail the seas…for no reason…no reason at all. Yep. Mods, it’s just a flag that’s being flown for no reason at all. Certainly not one that needs mod intervention…
I’m not saying I will eat this double cheeseburger…but I might.
Pay no attention to my hungry stomach, or my staring gaze at this delicious double cheeseburger with just the perfect balance of meat to cheese ratio. Melting in almost a gooey waterfall down the sides of these patties. With just a hint of ketchup at the top, and topped with lettuce to give it a crunch.
I’m not saying if I will eat this double cheeseburger…but I might.
No games that lead to players being pissed at other players, even outside of the confines of the game. I’ve had that happen with, for example, Secret Hitler, so no Secret Hitler....
The problem with monopoly is that it fits your description…BUT!!! nobody actually plays it the right way. House rules are so ingrained into monopoly culture, that I’ve incorporated my own house rule. Anyone who puts money under free parking gets stabbed with a knife. When they tell me that’s not in the rules, I tell them to show me where money under free parking is in the rules. There’s so many of these house rules that people legitimately think are in the rulebook. They aren’t. So if you want to put money under free parking, I want to stab your hand with a knife. House rules and all.
One time I was playing monopoly with my mom. She had 53 dollars, and landed on boardwalk. It was unowned. I yhen said "I bid $54. She said “you can’t do that…”. I showed her in the rule book where I could, and she got angry at me.
So, the problem with monopoly is that most people assume they know how to play, and also assume they know the best stratagies. They don’t.
The best stratagy is actually to buy 1 of each property that can have houses built on them. Prioritizing the low cost properties first. Make THEM buy 2 of each, thinking they’ll get the monopoly, thinking they’ll get a trade. Then drain them further with the railroads and utilities. Eventually they’ll run out of money. Just NEVER trade them a property that would allow a path to them getting a monopoly.
Of coarse, all of that is easier said than done. That’s what makes it a game. But it all falls apart if people aren’t playing the same game.
Ok, you lost any credibility your original words had when you said it wasn’t a hitler salute. It clearly was. I wish I knew how to post video here. It’s a 2 second video, and it’s clearly a hitler salute.
I never understood why they abandoned Splatoon 2. Like, I get that they have a new game, and that’s great, I guess…but why not support Splatoon 2 until Switch 2 comes out? I never bought the splatoon 3, because I JUST bought splatoon 2 like 2-3 years prior when it came out. You NEED online to play that game.
So you’re paying $59.99 for the game, and then $20 a year for online. All for a game that exists in a time bubble. Once it’s time for the next game, fuck you. Buy the new game. Your old game means nothing.
Well fuck you too Nintendo. I’ll just not buy Splatoon 3, and not pay for online anymore. How about that?
I’ve been playing some retro games recently (PS1 and prior) and I’ve been discovering a lot of games that I never thought I would enjoy. Particularly 90s arcade shmups and arcade style sports games....
I played it back in the 90s when it came out. What surprised me almost immediately was the ren fair scene. I forget exactly how they worded it, but the guards had kept track of everything I did at the fair. Which was mind blowing to me in a time when all games npcs would literally unload when off screen, and reload when onscreen. Completely forgetting anything you’d previously said/done.
Then THIS game remembers what I did 30 minutes ago.
Was that still startling in 2020, or did you not even realize how mind blowing that was since you’re in 2020 and not 1996?
So I’m re-doing some of my Do Not Press The Button (Or You’ll Delete The Multiverse) character models and I have this duck that is kind of inspired by the Companion Cube in Portal. I want to make it as appealing as possible so the players will attach to it and carry it around with them. Which looks better! I’m more partial...
My eyes read “pearl jam”. My brain read “pearl jam”. But my memory of what “pearl jam” was, deleted “pearl jam” and inserted “space jam”.
So even though I was reading and thinking pearl jam, I was also remembering that pearl jam is a 1990s half live action, half cartoon movie starring the looney toons and micheal jordan in an attempt to play basketball better than some aliens for some reason.
I mean…you just described large portions of 1997 and 1998. On the weekend.
Some houses had a rule. No oddjob. I had a different rule. You’re oddjob. It was no fun if it was an even fight. I needed a handicap to make it harder.
Does anyone remember Seaman? That game was great! Why are you giggling? I’m just talking about Seaman! Why does everybody giggle when I say I want to play with Seaman???...
…I think you might have just been thinking a game released in 2000, so probably in development in 1996, and running on dreamcast hardware would ever do great things with human voice translation.
I’ve only ever had 1 mic. It still works today. I mean the software was never great at understanding, but you gotta remember it’s essentially a glorified tamagachi with hardware ambitions that were probably pushing the breaking point of technology of the dreamcast.
I know! I KNEW I had to repeatedly emphasize that I’m not joking. I KNEW it sounded batshit insane from the perspective of someone who’s never heard of it. And even after all the reassurance from me that it DID exist, your first instinct was still “This guys full of shit! Let’s confirm with google…oh.”
No, I played this game 24 years ago. I’m sure he made some “seaman” jokes, just like he probably made jokes about having worms if he ever played worms armageddon. Those are just old jokes.
No…in the old days it made each console feel different. There might be SOME overlap between the SNES and the Genesis, but for the most part they’re entirely different libraries.
But if you’re trying to have console wars on any generation since the PS3, then it’s just stupid. It’s like 90% shared libraries, so the few exclusives don’t mean shit. There’s no personality to the consoles anymore.
Except Nintendo. Nintendo does weird things on their own path.
“Steam 2024: You played the same one game on an unsupported OS, on an no longer supported client…but just that one game for like 800 hours. We’re worried about you. Are you ok?”
It’s beyond insane to me that a $70 “AAAA” game (kidding, it’s AAA) dips down to the absurd price of $5. I’ve never seen anything like it. Wish the entire Sims 4 “collection” if you can call it that was $5 total, would be incredible, or Starfield.
Civ…7 is coming out??? Oh! Oh! So I guess I’m just going to need a time machine??? Is that it??? Because I’m an adult now!!! Working 6 damn days a week!!! Explain how I can just stop time, and spend 72 hours straight fighting off Gondi and his aggressive ass nukes!!! Explain that shit to me!!! Already work 16 hours a day 6 days a week! Now I gotta defend the world from nukes through politics, and science, and WE ALREADY KNOW WE’RE ALREADY GOING TO BUILD AN ARMY AND BLOW EVERYONE UP!!! WHY WE GOTTA DANCE THIS DANCE???
huffs…huffs…huffs…
So how’s everybodys day going? Ready for Thanksgiving? I sure am looking forward to relatives you only twice a year getting drunk and talking politics 3 weeks after the election! What could go wrong???
Hmmmmm…maybe butter knives are the sharpest thing I should put on this table…

So I’m playing Supermarket simulator. And if you notice TCG Simulator looks VERY similar. That’s because it uses the same assets. It looks like it’s actually the same shop location, on the same street. But in one game, it’s a supermarket, and in another game, it’s a card game similator....
