Temperatures of minus 50 C have become less common in recent years because of climate change, with permafrost showing increasing signs of thawing.

Legitimately disclaimed within the article itself this time. This isn’t new or more common than it used to be. The snow is the record because the warmer air holds more water x_x

Tbh gaming as a whole. I’m 34, and I’ve played video games basically my whole life. When I was young, it was a niche interest. It grew rapidly, but I remember when we were a fairly small number. Now gaming is so assumed that individual games are hobbies. Gaming language is embedded in our culture. I remember it being a rare novelty that few people understood and fewer took seriously.

There is literally only one person developing SDV and Haunted Chocolatier. This is literally an impossible statement. There is only ConcernedApe, and he has not announced any cancelation.

Don’t tell my communist friends, but I’m super excited to work Black Friday at my dispensary x_x I read Convenience Store Woman while off work this week, and I am ready to be back where things make sense to me. I have faith in the world inside the weed filled box <3

Tbh I play the hell out of some Kairosoft games on mobile <_< I love watching my little guys thrive.

BG3 is a huge exception. It’s more popular by far than most games of the sort. And still only two of the dozen gamers I work with has played any of it, and they are both done with it.

all these gamers glowing about how great it is

Where? If you mean online, yeah, online discussion and gaming publications focus on more complex games that more serious gamers are playing. There’s just more to say about them. And news sites are gonna pay more attention to exceptions to the norm like BG3. None of the many gamers in my life are talking about it. If you’re hearing about BG3 and other huge, complex games regularly, it’s because you are spending time in spaces where and with people who care about them. Because it’s not just everywhere.

Oh yeah I know that, it just seems like these type of games are super popular.

I honestly think that’s just your circle. That does not describe the majority of the gamers I know or have known. I have always been in a minority for wanting to do math in my free time and have to find places online to discuss these games because usually nobody else in my life is playing them. Most of the people I know who played BG3 did so because it is popular, and they avoided as much of the math and homework as possible. And most of them are done with it.

There are tons of games that don’t require that sort of knowledge base or study investment. It’s a minority that do. But you’re on Lemmy. This is a self selected community of extra thoughtful nerds. This community is more likely to be excited about games with homework than your average gaming community. I do genuinely love the research part of complex games. I like crafting builds and planning battles. I loved both Divinity Original Sin games and will love BG3 when I get there.

But sometimes I do just want a game for my hands to play while by brain takes a break. That’s why I spent most of the summer with Earth Defense Force 5, a 9/10 space insect exploding experience. Highly recommend it if you don’t want to fuck with the details.

Maybe her third thumb is just a little slender. If I position my hand like that, I can almost reach. I don’t think hands with those proportions would be impossible. It’s probably a little wonky genetically, being her third arm and all.

It’s extra impressive. It got 15 fingers right!

Well it is a catholic holiday. Traditionally you then suck up to god for 40 days and 40 nights. I just choose to forego that part. Only transgress. Never feel guilt.

Drunken, costumed dancing and making out in inappropriate places totally checks out. But it’s any and every type of person. Apparently Mardi Gras season brings over a million tourists to New Orleans every year. Make yourself one of them for the actual week of Mardi Gras, and you too can brown out, dance on a truck, and fuck a stranger behind a broken down float! Anyone can! It’s a carnival of sin! Everyone gets to make mistakes!

Wat. That’s so weird to hear when you grew up in a Mardi Gras area. It’s originally a catholic holiday where you get all your sins and urges out before you start your 40 days of pious Lent. In practice it’s a massive racous party. In my life, we take the sin part very seriously.

Mardi Gras does not get the love it deserves. It is a holiday explicitly dedicated to sin an excess. It’s a day to spit in god’s eye. It’s a day to break rules and violate taboos. Mardi Gras without Lent is a top tier holiday. As long as you’re careful not to observe Lent afterwards, you’re free to call Mardi Gras a Discordian holiday. Valentine’s Day is not the February holiday you can get me. It’s Mardi Gras. Forget flowers. Find me a professional bakery king cake, preferably with a little baby Jesus in it to eat, and I’ll love you for at least a while!

I have crazy dreams all the time. I try to get to sleep with enough thc in my system to prevent them x_x

Shot on VHS cassette tape! A lot of cheap, weird movies were shot on video cassette. And I love them. Tales From the QuadeaD Zone is an absolute classic. I could watch a lot more of them, but my wife isn’t the same caliber of enthusiast.

My real problem is watching too many random bizarre trash and z grade movies instead of popular things. Very few names can outweigh the allure a movie being shot on video o_o I love shot on video movies.

Maybe he means trans-Atlantic rights?

Real Joe Pera vibes.
