WTF is this? A token sacrifice while the killer walks free? Fuck that.
You’re not the boss of me, now!
Ech@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•Petition to "release Trump's FULL medical records" grows5·3 days agoThe 40k fascism cosplayers already made “god emperor” a thing. Might as well go the whole mile.
For whatever reason, our brains developed the inclination/compulsion to imagine scenarios which greatly improved our odds of survival in the wild. In a biological sense, I figure stories and the like trigger that reward center in a way. Why people like different stories would come down to brain chemistry.

Ech@lemmy.cato Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Every last one of these questions is terribleEnglish6·12 days agoWhy would you answer the actual question anyway? That just means if someone knows the actual answer, they can get into your account. The question shouldn’t matter. It should be treated as a secondary/tertiary/etc password.
Ech@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•Trump announces 30% tariffs against EU, Mexico to begin August 16·12 days agoWhy is he doing this?
Are we really still asking this? The destruction and damage is the point. That should be obvious by now.
Ech@lemmy.cato Games@lemmy.world•Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic Portal 2 as Steam’s top-rated gameEnglish2·13 days agoTo open the community center (the primary goal for the first year+) specifically takes quite a lot of money actually, and outside of talking with NPC’s once a day, money is necessary to get every other advancement I can think of. I agree that many players probably go too hard into trying to min/max things, but the game isn’t as loosey-goosey with costs as you suggest.
Ech@lemmy.cato Games@lemmy.world•Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic Portal 2 as Steam’s top-rated gameEnglish2·13 days agoSorry, I probably could have been more clear that I was referring more to people that play SD for irl years and have crops spread all across their farm. I can definitely sympathize with new players that spread out too much without the experience to know what that entails. Hell, I’m pretty sure did the same my first time playing. It seems petty natural to make that choice.
Fwiw, if you end up trying the game again, I found QOL mods really enhanced my enjoyment of the game, particularly the one that provided the option to change how long days were. Even just a 20% change really helped make the game less stressful for me.
Ech@lemmy.cato Science@mander.xyz•People Believe If 90% Prefer A over B, A Must Be Much Better than B. Are They Wrong?5·14 days agoSame thing with RottenTomatoes ratings. A fresh rating just means the reviewer thought it wasn’t terrible, and the “freshness” rating really doesn’t say anything about the actual quality of the movie.
Ech@lemmy.cato Games@lemmy.world•Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic Portal 2 as Steam’s top-rated gameEnglish4·14 days agoFor anyone that hasn’t seen it, Portal: Reloaded is a fan-made dlc that’s really quite good as well.
Ech@lemmy.cato Games@lemmy.world•Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic Portal 2 as Steam’s top-rated gameEnglish3·14 days agoI never understand why anyone puts together those massive farms. Personally, I always end up leaving the vast majority of the space unused. My farms only ever occupy the space directly in front of the house, and even that needs sprinklers asap.
Ech@lemmy.cato Games@lemmy.world•Now You Can Buy In-Game DLC And Pay It Off LaterEnglish9·15 days agoThanks, I’m rich.
Ech@lemmy.cato Games@lemmy.world•Now You Can Buy In-Game DLC And Pay It Off LaterEnglish2·15 days agoOnly if you’re right.
I do wonder if they planned for it to be this blatant, though.
It’s at least a little funny that they struggled so hard to stop it from punking their own posts, and the only solution is apparently turning it into a hyper-nazi bot.
Ech@lemmy.cato Games@lemmy.world•Microsoft has never been good at running game studios, which is a problem when it owns them allEnglish6·18 days agoAAA devs are finding out there’s no such thing as infinite money doesn’t mean there are no good games. Look around and you might just realize they’re actually the least interesting content out there. There are more games coming out per/day than at any other point in history. Take some initiative and you’ll find something great.
My first reaction was disgust too, but then I remembered fried pickles are delicious, so I’d be willing to give this a try.
