Technically I’m not even getting what I’m entitled to, I just recognize I get more than most of my comrades and until they get it I’m not pushing for myself.
Because you are right. It’s horrifying to go to a Va hospital, because the majority of people there are bitching up a storm because they aren’t getting care they should be entitled to. Wildly uncomfortable experience. And I don’t blame them and they deserve it way more than I do… but technicalities…
I haven’t lived abroad but I’m a disabled vet and thus get social healthcare…
And it’s fucking horrifying what my countrymen/women don’t get. I get the European experience (less than, let’s be real… I was gunna say more or less but it’s less…) and my comrades in arms (and just my comrades?) don’t because of technicalities? My brethren who choose not to support business get screwed? Fuck that we should all benefit.
To be clear, health should be a human right, housing should be a human right, food should be under health as a human right but let’s be serious it should be a separate human right so everyone has to acknowledge it. (thanks America for needing that to be spelled out…)
Make a scramble! It takes lots of ingredients, plus egg, but the egg is kinda on the side and largely irrelevant.
It’s all the ingredients that make the scramble worth it. Like life. It wouldn’t be great if everyone were… wait… no…
Lots of flavors make the dish good. Yep that works.
So I’m faceblind, but really good with voices.
And she might be in other stuff, but I’ve not found it. I did find Lori petty in an episode of Star Trek, can’t even see her face for most of it.
Maybe because I’m not really into the “might as well be porn” genre of stuff (watched xena, Hercules, beast master, andromeda, and cleopatra 2525 as late night shit when I was a pre-teen, but I’m asexual and not into horny and never have been so I was into the storyline bad as it was), and thus unlikely to encounter her.
Of course, I have taste ;)
Plus lost in space (old and new), Star Trek, red dwarf, quantum leap, Babylon 5, sliders, Lexx, millennium, neverwhere…
I have 30tb of stuff on my Plex, mostly sci-fi/fantasy. And I’ve watched the majority of it because I have no life :)
The stuff on my Plex that doesn’t fit my genres wasn’t downloaded for me. But there isn’t much of that overall, maybe 500gb.
I really never got into EverQuest. Maybe I’ll try again, but honestly at this point I’m sort of over social games. I played a lot of neverwinter when I was transitioning off wow, and it did the job, but I’ve not found any sort of mmo since that really makes me want to play… because all I want to do most of the time is solo play and pug dungeons (always a disappointment).
I used to be a raid leader and main healer for the guilds’ clan (we had a group of iirc 6 casual guilds that shared forums and a vent server and would do stuff together like a super guild) and I miss doing that but… not enough to try to find it again I guess.
I desperately want to be into games like helldivers or other “major hit” social play games, but they are without fail not my style of game. So… eh. I think that time in my life is just gone. Maybe when immersive VR is a major thing and there are mmos for it (ideally that don’t give me horrible motion sickness), that sounds pretty cool. But I won’t wait around with bated breath.
Sci-fi/fantasy is basically all I watch :)
Not the really old stuff; 90s-today mostly. That one just slipped through my memory cracks for a long long time, and my memories were far fonder than it deserved.
Bahahaha I got a friend to watch the first few episodes of that not too long ago, specifically because of the song. I hadn’t seen it since it was on late night tv.
It’s so much worse than I remember, like they were trying to shoot a porn but forgot the actual sex part.
I don’t really use steam and I have this problem too. I buy discs used, and I don’t always look up gameplay videos… so yeah, often not my cup of tea turns out. But resellable if I want down the line, at least.
Just the other day I bought a Wii super monkeyball game that uses the balance board. I have everything I need to play it, but the chances of actually doing that are pretty slim, tbh. A lot of the older games (anything under $10 for consoles more than a decade old, really) I buy are like that. “Might be fun, might never get played, but in an emergency, can be sold”.
I miss playing mmos, but none of them have hit like vanilla wow on a pve server, and now I hate people too much to bother. If I could spin up a server of my own and just play by myself or with a few people I know, sure, but most games don’t allow that. So single player it is.

I had a physics teacher who died of alcohol poisoning a couple years after I graduated.
He has the red nose of alcohol abuse and everything in class all the time. I thought that was bullshit but it isn’t!!!
That’s fair.
I’m a big fan of 100% in games (well, that used to mean a lot more before achievements and open world everything, but I do still try) and do it without guides, but I do totally get that different people play differently, so no judgement.
Yeah that’s fair.
I’m a small person with proportionally small hands (I’m actually closer to child-size than average-adult-size) and the ps5 controllers are probably the worst I’ve ever used (I haven’t used anything past 360 for Xbox; those controllers are also big). I can’t even imagine an actual child without the dexterity and musculature using one properly.
Nothing like the controllers back in the day… sure they had cords but they were light and pretty small. Even when they were early wireless, they were light.
And there is a huge market for off brand controllers for the size issue. I’ve bought a lot of 3rd party ones because they felt nicer. It’s be nice if they were OEM tho.
Disclaimer: I did read it.
Is it just most players of these games that use guides or like all games? If it’s all games, I find that fascinating.
I absolutely hate needing to look anything up, and I get super upset with myself when I don’t think of the convoluted solution or discover the hidden quest on my own. I shouldn’t, sure, but always have. Since getting stuck in the vine forest in illusions of Gaia on SNES (think of the korok forest in breath of the wild, or the woods to Canada in the South Park games -wrong turn reset), and needing my older sister, who didn’t game, to navigate it for me, I’ve always wanted to solve it myself.
I mean I look stuff up if I really get stuck, or if I’m not sure the game has “missable” stuff (which I absolutely hate, because I’m not gunna play a game through again in most cases to make different choices; too many games I haven’t played for that to be desirable), but I hate doing it and don’t internally understand why you’d want to, I suppose.
Like I’m not judging anyone who does, those guides totally exist for a reason… I just have never understood the print guide or super detailed walkthrough thing, because it’s the opposite of how I like games. I always wondered who they were made for.
True. I suppose it’s just because I know how things actually played out with TOS, and it was just jarring and unexpected.
I like the adaptive triggers, but the controllers themselves are huge and heavy, and I can’t use them comfortably for any substantial period of time (about 20 min is as long as I can stand). Maybe it’s fine for people with big hands, idk, but I don’t like them, and rarely use them as a result.
The ps4 controllers were a much better size and weight imho, and the adaptive triggers aren’t enough of a feature to make up the difference for me.
I did like that he was debating sticking around, that felt pretty human, but the blatant sexism was uncomfortable. That bit about “not used to a woman on the bridge… oh but your different…” suuuuper cringe and unnecessary. :p
I’m glad I watched it, but I’m also glad that’s not how it got made, ultimately.
That’s why they signed it. It’s not binding so what does it matter?
I mean the US has taught me that being an ancom is the right path. I wish they had any support for what they actually preach being a good thing but I’m not into it. And I once signed my life away thinking it was right… mistakes were made man.
(In fairness, I come from a conservative area, so I’m not against people, I just want what’s best for everyone, even if they don’t recognize it as a good thing yet.)
