Economic crash is happening anyway

US, obviously.

Its really odd, cause you’d think they’d just want to make money no matter where it comes from.

I used to read physical books all the time when I was younger, but as I aged and audiobooks became downloads instead of massive multiple disc CD sets, I shifted. Isn’t because I can’t read anymore, and my eyes havent failed me yet that I need reading glasses, but I just like doing OTHER THINGS while reading. Plus I extra love when voice actors make it a PERFORMANCE. In ye old days it used to be just a narrator reading the words, often tonelessly, but Audible books these days are PERFORMANCES. I like popping on an audio book while im driving, while im in bed trying to fall asleep, and while im playing a grindy part in a video game. Or a video game that doesn’t have voice acting so I can enjoy 2 stories simultaneously, or Roguelike video games where there’s no story at all, or story beats only occur when you’re at your home base.

Me beating the first boss before I figure out the game had a leveling system…

I’m trans. Born male, transitioned female. I’ve always had a female inner monologue. Nothing like what I sound like out loud.

Test of time was the definitive version of civ 2

They already have enough of a persecution fetish.

Yes I know how sensitive a subject it is.

Also, I too do not like small talk or mindless chit chat. If I talk, it is is in depth and with a passion about the topic.

Thanks for the constructive feedback instead of just assuming I was a bad person. I appreciate it.

Ok sure. Sorry I didn’t know ‘motherland’ was a negative phrase in Germany. I will not use it. My grandmother and mother were not German just great grandmother.

Software engineering. There is a lot of cognates yeah

Yeah, it’s just one of the avenues. I could also just get a job there as I’m in tech, I’m not quite fluent in German yet especially when it comes to tech jargon. But I’m getting there.

Germany. I might be able to claim ancestry rights. Ironic that my great grandmother fled fascism in Germany but I’d flee America to return to the motherland.

Every final fantasy game i seem to play over and over again on loop, bunch of different iterations. Played the nes ff1, then the ps1 remake, then the GBA remake, and then the pixel remaster. Currently playing thr pixel remaster of 2. GBA was the only other version I played of that.

Yeah India is a striking example of a place where porn really NEEDS to be legal. Way too many horny single men there.

I mean, irl wood is pretty plentiful most places and hard to transport, and you can’t punch trees, so bring an axe, saw, knife, and whetstone

It helps to not have kids. Also helps to have a job with downtime, like when i. recompiling the software or publishing which takes forever sometimes.

Jokes on you I game with one hand and browse the net with the other
