He doesn’t need to if no one holds him accountable. He should need to, legally, but, in the current environment, he doesn’t.

Forumverse, I guess.

(Though I’m always in favor of silly word combos, there aren’t many good ones. I like Piebin, but how do you get lemmy in there? Plebin? No thanks.)

comments are pretty far down - below where it gives a short writer bio

someone else who did something like this lived to be over 100. maybe that’s where the idea came from?

the comments on the article on pcgamer are fascinating to me. i’ve enjoyed polygon for years now, and all this time it was a hipster art installation for communists? hell yeah!

His experiments nearly ended soon after they began. On Sept. 12, 2001, crazed by the terrorist attack of the previous day and by the death of a friend a few days earlier, he let himself be bitten by two cobras. They were his first bites by live snakes, and he had not built up enough immunity. He was fine after the first bite, but after the second, he felt cold, his eyes started to droop and he couldn’t talk. He blacked out and woke up from a coma in a hospital four days later.

This quote makes it seem like a suicide attempt, but in other articles it’s stated more like an accident. I guess it’s not really the point of the article.

TIL that Heather is indigo’s ceo and if you don’t like one of her picks you can get your money back. interesting promotion?

hell yeah (wait too exciting a response sorry)

It rarely works out, but it’d be great if some of the fired staff tried going independent. A couple of my favorite groups managed it after they were fired in similar circumstances.

comes across like she got picked as a target/meme, responded badly, and now every random cat comic from her will have someone randomly insult her and you’re left wondering what catagory of hater they belong to.

I find his opinion on tattoos incomprehensible but there’s no mutual decision needed for a breakup. A relationship only happens with the consent of both parties and that consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Constant struggle to not say something sarcastic when articles like this come out. It’s important articles like this keep coming out, even if i think it’s saying something obvious. it’s not obvious to everyone.

these do look cool! anyone tried them?

it’s a shame because the basic gameplay is pretty fun, but i can’t recommend it to people without worrying about triggering someone’s gambling addiction. for whatever reason, i’m immune to spending money on microtransactions. i even think that it wouldn’t be bad to put an amount of money in every month like a subscription if i’m enjoying a game enough. i just don’t.

The initial appeal for me was that I enjoyed harvest moon, except for how the old tech made the experience of playing it suck so bad, I couldn’t replay it. It was annoying doing any of the basic tasks like switching tools iirc. so there was a huge opening in the market for a new harvest moon that wasn’t annoying to play. And where you were allowed to be gay.

So the initial buzz came from that, imo. the people who wanted a new harvest moon game were like ‘wow, finally!’ and then word of mouth did its thing. these days, nostalgia for it specifically drives people back to play, along with extensive modding and occasional free updates keeping things fresh.

i think other people can explain better why the harvest moon formula itself is so appealing, but i just think it’s interesting how an indie game can get so popular by just being like "what if i made this big corporation game people want a new entry from, but fixed the stuff in it that sucks?’

The god designs were pretty cool. The story was not for me.

Good to know! There’s no risk of running into coconut in this coconut hating household, but i like knowing what i should dive-roll off the couch to get the cat out of, and what i should get up normally and take away

of course checking with a vet is best but with some quick checking it seems like small amounts of coconut is fine but too much will cause digestive issues and other problems because it’s fatty

TIL the term fly tipping for illegal dumping
