No way! I just think it'd be funny if like Tom got strawberry jam all over his feet and Goofy had to lick it off, like that would be hilarious.

Ive asked plenty of people online to explain foot fetishes and its always deflected with jokes. Like theyre too embarrassed to find out why they find feet sexual.

I heard there was a huge nerd and wiccan community

Through what Ive researched, there are two feuding covens in Salem.

One is led by women.

The other is led by a unanimously hated incel-type who is reported to be extremely misogynistic.

I miss when the internet was a place of curiosity and exploration. These days its just conglomerates doing everything in their power to target your wallet.

Salem for Halloween is fun if you can stomach the crowds. Haven't been in years but I've always wanted to go back. Kids are getting a little older so I think we might go in a year or two when the youngest can get some enjoyment out of it. Have fun!

Yeah, it gets swamped, but were staying about 30 minutes away in Ipswich right on the coast. I always stay outside the trafficked areas on vacation.

Gonna show the wife all the Hocus Pocus spots and enjoy some fresh seafood. Probably get a Halloween tattoo while were there and take advantage of the recreational goodies!

Getting married on Saturday. God damn Im glad we chose a fall wedding. Cant wait for spookies in the Halloween capitol of the world. Anyone here ever been? Ive been once, years ago, and loved it. Didnt get to do much there though. Only 3 hours away from Bangor, too. Might make the drive for the Stephen King tour!

Root beer. Specifically Virgil's.

This. I don't drink anymore.

That's always the worst, because intellectually you know that you didn't play for long enough to actually form an opinion, but at some subconscious level you end up believing that you didn't like it because it wasn't able to hook you when you tried it, so finding the motivation to try again is hard.

Exactly lol. As a general rule, I try to give most games a couple of hours before deciding if it isn't my cup of tea. Someone (hopefully) worked hard on it.

Still waiting for Jim Henson's Dinosaurs.

In Europe? It's on the American one.

Muscles posted...

Well yeah, is that supposed to be a hot take?

American Dad >>>> family guy too

By a huge margin, too.

I could never beat it because I only ever played solo.

Lokarin posted...

It's one of the most satisfying combat platformers ever made

I picked it up for about five minutes before having to do something else. I'll give it another shot.

potdnewb posted...

the simpsons never did that guy that died from boneitis hilarious

I don't even think that's one of their best episodes, even as good as it is.

For $500 it better be elite.

I played a short, roguelike deck-building game recently that I loved.

Name was "Inscryption".

Lokarin posted...

well, you've probably played Dead Cells... what else have yoou done so I can narrow down more

Is that worth getting into?

-1 mostly empty bottle of Glen Breton Ice (the last father's day gift I gave my dad, I've been having a glass of it on the anniversary of his death for the last few years and it'll probably run out this year)

That's wild. I remember you.

Well it can't be much worse.

I've seen Futurama at least a dozen times through.

I've seen maybe ten to twenty episodes of The Simpsons. I think it's a generational thing.

And as it runs away after the first shots....

A fucking labrador with nothing but friendly body language, after this piece of trash called it over...I hope this guy gets his.

I would post the article, but they all link to the video and I'm not sure how this site moderates that sort of thing. I can edit it if a mod says it's okay.

because I can crush a 4 pack in like 2 days

That's sipping, my man. And I loved craft beers when I drank lol.

Ironic, considering plenty of people who play some of the most despicable characters are also some of the most notoriously nice cast members.

It's crazy to me that people can just keep cabinets of the stuff in their home with no problem. I'm a recovering alcoholic, though.

No Lagavulin? I heard Whistlepig is really good but expensive.

I heard Lagavulin actually tastes horrible.

Cruddy_horse posted...

I found the combat incredibly tedious and unfun, the game really could have used an upgrade system like Re4 or something.

I'll be honest, I got bored of it pretty quickly after the first hour. I gave it three more hours to pick up, but I never got the hook.

I can read it fluently.

Remember when Bobby Boucher showed up at halftime and the Mud Dogs won the Bourbon Bowl?

Cuphead

It's the remastered version. I remember completely ignoring this when it came out, and I'm honestly surprised. There are so many nods to Stephen King and H.P. Lovecraft, both of whom I am a huge fan. Now I hear there's a sequel coming out soon?

I love my Dualsense. Especially with my Kontrol Freek thumb extenders.

This is horrible news.

Time to hide my hearing disability.

Rocks that the village children throw at me.

I've never been able to finish either of those games.

Hmmmm....it relaxes me.... Kinda like wading into the beach at waist height at midnight. Knowing there are sharks under the water but also knowing you're too bony to be considered a meal...

FrozenBananas posted...

But where did the first egg come from

It was explained a couple posts up. Great read.

ConfusedTorchic posted...

the protest is still going very much strong

Lmfao no it isn't. Every average redditor has access to all the subreddits they had before.

Muscles posted...

You can be a man and like girly thing, you can even be a manly man and like girly things, there's nothing wrong with that.

"Toxic masculinity" is just the lack of masculinity. Being a man is about being brave, strong, honest and protective, look at the heroes we hold up as examples of real men, like Aragorn, Luke Skywalker and Superman, they are symbols of what a real man is. I was told growing up that a real man is a man of his word, works hard, is responsible, protects his loved ones and the people that can't protect themselves, etc. I was never told I have to like monster trucks and beer or I'm not a real man.

You reinforced gender stereotypes in the same breath that you attempted to take them down.

Reddit mods are the only people stupid and annoying enough to get me to side with the ceo of a social media company

Literally all of them are pretending nothing ever happened and that they chose to stay while indiscriminately banning anyone who suggests they were only afraid of losing their influence.

It's largely an overcompensation for the Holocaust. Much of the West wasn't a huge fan of Jews for a while before WWII, which contributed significantly to Hitler's ability to persecute them. People felt guilty about that, so they try to err on the side of being nice to Jews and default to taking their side.

It doesn't help that there's still a non-trivial amount of actual anti-semitism floating around, so it's not entirely unreasonable to assume that that's why any given person is decrying Israel if one hasn't paid enough attention to understand the details of the situation (which I wouldn't call reasonable ignorance, given how easy it is to learn, but that's a different tangent). The irony, of course, is that there's also a substantial amount of Islamophobia floating around, which is the basis for a lot of people assuming that Israel must be in the right.

I've learned that even being right about the current situation about Israel and Palestine is seen as offensive. Some extremists have even seen fit to say antisemitism is the most radical form of racism due to the unparalleled success of Jewish communities success after World War 2. I'm gonna sit this one out and let the world burn, because even having an educated opinion on Abrahamic religion will get you banned.

4 days later and literally nothing has changed for the average user.

No incessant spamming, no debilitating brigadiers....

Yet there has been a noticeable uprise in mod complaints and spite banning....

Because your ancestors suffering horribly means you get a free pass to do the same as long as it benefits the world powers. No questions asked.

(For the mods, I'm being very sarcastic here.)

The worst is when people advocate for random manga and anime characters. Like, seriously, what the fuck? Who would want this random ass character nobody has heard of? What would that POSSIBLY bring?

And then they defend their suggestions with "Well Nintendo is Asian!" like even the overseas crowd wants yet another Fire Emblem swordsman. Both sides of the pond are as embarrassed of these extremists as the other, yet the extreme fans can't admit it.

You sound like every average straight man in America who is experiencing the decline of toxic masculinity and finally comfortable with saying pedicures make them feel good.

I've been labeled metrosexual my whole life (not by choice) just because I care about my hygiene and grooming. I sometimes go as female characters on Halloween with my wife by my side. I know without a doubt that I could never be in a romantic relationship with a man. Just be confident in who you are and people will eventually fuck off.

Yeah but people will fall in love with Geno. So, like, it's worth it.

I thought Geno was a Final Fantasy character.

Lokarin posted...

Or, eggs existed long before vertibrates

The most likely scenario is that the chicken was hatched from the egg of a nearly identical ancestor.

But I've seen "honesty experiments" conducted in the Las Vegas Strip

As someone who lived in Vegas for years, lmfao @ this statement.

If I saw it happen, return it. If it's just loose on the ground and I have no way of knowing who it belongs to, mine.

It's not just ads anymore.

I'm blatantly in love with nautical history/pirate lore, and have been looking at jobs in my field in North Carolina. The area is rich with nautical history and Edward Thatch (Blackbeard) had a hideout on Ocracoke Island on the coast. I'm also a sucker for trash tv dramas with hot cast members.

What does Netflix recommend me?

The Outer Banks. Insanely hot young people are on the hunt for sunken treasure in North Carolina.

I cannot take my eyes off of Madelyn Cline. Girl's body is insane.

2FA is horseshit for anything outside of super sensitive information, such as bank accounts.

This reminded me way too much of Too Many Cooks.
