yeah actually i do like the rdr2 open world a lot more than gta5. i like rdr2 in general a lot more than gta5, its a far better open world, but still far from the gold standard. the shooting is too basic to be a primary mechanic, that’s my biggest issue with that game, but i really enjoy pretty much everything else. especially dressing up my sad dying cowboy in a fun flirty outfit

GTA 5 was boring as fuck, one of the only games I would genuinely consider overhyped. Usually when I don’t like a popular game I can see the appeal of it for other people, but there is fuck all to actually do in GTA 5. Yeah, you can drive around and shoot things, but the shooting is pretty bland and there’s no reason at all to get into random gunfights. The driving is decent, but if I wanted to play a driving game, then I would play Forza or something. There’s character customisation, but the outfits are extremely limited and boring, mostly just variations of shirts and pants, there’s minigames like darts for some reason, there’s fake social media and an in-game phone camera, but there is no point to doing anything. Nothing feels satsifying. I just fuck about for half an hour then get bored. The in-game economy is dogshit, you go from having nothing to everything extremely quickly and money very quickly becomes meaningless, so there’s no goals to strive for. Like I can’t stress enough how there is no point to getting more money, because all you can buy is guns which kill people with the same effectiveness as most other guns, cars to customise, and properties to get more money so you can buy more properties. Red dead 2 was the exact same, a few hours in money becomes meaningless because the Valentine bank robbery will set you up for life, and that’s in the first third of the game. There are no more upgrades to be bought, all you can buy is beans. It gets a pass for having a great story and letting me ride on and rob trains, GTA 5 is just nothing.

anyway yeah i probably wont get gta6

that seems like so much effort for a post

I have similar issues, but a lot of the time when I have tasks to do that I’m avoiding, I don’t even enjoy what I’m doing. I just play video games or watch something I’ve seen before or doomscroll until I get bored, and its like, if I did a task, at least I would be bored and productive. The only task I really like doing is cooking, but I dread cleaning so I try to use as few utensils as possible, which usually means I cook very bland meals. I’m not diagnosed with autism but I do have adhd and executive dysfunction can be an absolute nightmare. Its like, in my head a task will take fifteen minutes, but I would rather spend hours doing nothing and being bored, not even having fun, than a boring task for fifteen minutes. I’m not satisfied when I’m not doing productive things, but I dread doing productive things and try to avoid them as much as I can

its such a beautiful day its so sunny. why do i have to wear clothes this is literally perfect nudist weather

i fucking hope, but she didn’t really pay much attention to us lol

we are so back (i wrote 43 words)

i have a 2000 word essay due tonight and i havent even done a quarter of it but all my brain wants to do is hang out naked and listen to jamiroqui

I love how Boy Boy oscillates between really good compelling journalism and utter slop

strait up nope

I see a lot of recipes on my Instagram, and something that really annoys me is when people just lie about what they’re making. I see something like “three ingredient dinner” and the three ingredients don’t include seasonings or sauces. Those are ingredients! Those count towards prep time and budget! Also when something is advertised as a 20 minute meal, and it starts with preparing something the night before and leaving it in the fridge or whatever. That’s not a 20 minute meal, that’s a 24 hour meal! Stop lying to me! The worst I saw was sa budget meal, where the guy said the garlic was free because he was able to get it for free at a local market. Bro. You have to account for the price of things when you make a meal. Most people can’t just get free garlic. That’s like going to a friend’s house and saying that the meal is free because your friend bought all the ingredients, not you. That is not how a budget works. Also when they count the price of a meal by the proportion of an ingredient, like saying that a teaspoon of spices costs 1 cent. You can’t just go and buy 1 cent worth of spices, you go and buy the whole spice thing, so I would count the whole spice thing as a part of the budget

I like Astarion because he’s a manipulative, self serving shit. I let him drink my character’s blood until they died just because I didn’t want to say no to him lol

All I know about Shadowheart is that she’s pretty and nice and gets white hair later in the game, and that’s enough for me to like her

At what point does it stop being the same ship?

I’ve only played about 8 hours of bg3 because my laptop sucks, but I completely missed Gale lol. I failed the check to pull him out of the portal and now he’s just… Gone. Idk where the fuck he is.

It’s fine with me though, I have Shadowheart and Astarion and I’m basic and attracted to them

Anna Moneymaker sounds like a fake name that a Japanese game would give to an American

There’s been memes floating around about ChatGPT being a pure confirmation machine. Someone posted their conversation with the bot where it enthusiastically supports their business idea of selling literal shit on a stick.

My friend pulled out her phone to ask chatGPT how to play a board game last night, and despite all of us yelling at her that chatGPT doesn’t know anything, she persisted. Then the dumbass LLM made up some rules because it doesn’t know anything.

you won’t BELIEVE what they’re calling this house in new orleans!!!

I love bardcore, where a modern song is remade with medieval strings and woodwinds and such. one of my favourites is this old english version of pumped up kicks

makes sense, it feels so low effort. like what could a queen song possibly have to do with the plot of the thunderbolts? nothing, it might not even show up in the movie. i think guardians of the galaxy having good music made marvel think they should just put classic pop/rock songs in everything, not understanding that those were good movies that stand on their own, and the music was very carefully selected for them
