2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Well at least you didn't give your money to gamepass.

Nothing wrong with buying too much art, just don't piss all your money away to corporations charging artists rent instead of giving the money to the artists.

But they told me it would trigger my sense of accomplishments.

You gave a lot of money to artists, with such a generous spirit that truth be told you weren't actually ever necessarily planning to experience all the art because you already own a ton of awesome art, that is winning my friend.

I love this. It's beautiful. Thank you.

I never understood why my wife has so many shoes but some of them are in the closet and will never be worn. Then I looked at my steam library and it clicked...

I've been getting better about it. Did New Vegas recently (I was told my egg would crack playing it but it didn't. Can't even get a refund now. Sadge.), playing Fallout 4 now. At my current rate I should have a clear backlog in... NaN

You didn't like the game ?

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It was fine, I'm just meme'ing about how so many trans folks are all about New Vegas.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh, ok

Do you have any idea why ? I don’t think that the game even includes trans people. There’s maybe this one bi dude at the atomic wrangler ?

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Had gay folks (Including Arcade and Veronica) that weren't campy stereotypes, and not just the one or two companions, but a fair amount of other folks around the wasteland. You could be mechanically bisexual (which gives you bonus damage against both genders lol.) and it probably helps that you can kill oppressors (The Legion) as well. No one explicitly trans though, but the vibes are right.

Oh, how could I forget Veronica ! (Never played with Arcade)

Thanks for the explenation !

I finally bought a blasting new computer to play Horizon Forbidden West! It's so beautiful. Haven't even gotten through the tutorial yet and it's surpassed Zero Dawn already in terms of environment.

I'm not wasting money, I'm just a VERY patient gamer.
