  • You say shitpost, but this is or at least was reality. During the worse of times, gas could be either counterfeit or diluted and the best known way to tell on the spot was by taste. Even then, you couldn’t be sure so you had to feel how the car drove after refueling.

    There’s probably lots of deadened tongues in countries with fuel supply issues.









  • It’s been some time, but if I remember right, you can spend a few hours in character creation alone just trying to understand all the different selections. And if I’m not mistaken, the factions hostile to you might change depending on which path is taken.

    There were biological mutation, cybernetic enhancements and psychic powers. And I think they restrained each other similar to Arcanum’s magic vs technology. Or maybe that was just wishful thinking on my part.

    And the controls are a class of their own. It should be easier if you’ve played other games that use the entire keyboard, but there are a lot of shortcuts to learn.

    If you go in casually, you will die to the first hostile mob that sees you. I know I did.



  • That’s a myth sort of. Cats use a mix of meows, scents and postures to communicate. The quantity of which type is used depends on the situation and circumstances.

    Not every cat is talkative yes, but I think that if they could talk, they’ll either beg for food or insult you as these two are the only important situations in which they would deign it worth the hassle.



  • Taking walks. It made me more aware of how isolation changed my perception of the world.

    Things are uglier now that I’m no longer used to it. The garbage, the decay, the lack of maintenance everywhere, things feel unclean. I feel unclean.

    So I try to be cleaner and look after my own garbage. But man do I hate random people sneezing around me!

  • Exactly, we can’t tell (yet). So the feeling of wanting to be like a tree is a superficial one for now. Because we don’t really understand what it means to be a tree, we just like what we see to be a tree.

    We look at their difficulties and think “I can handle that”, but it’s no different than an amateur watching a master at work and think “I can do that” even though it’s the environment and experience that allowed them to grow into what we see.

    Alien trees are included.

    Trees have it rough. Can barely move, have to compete for sunlight and soil nutrients, can’t scratch an itch, anything that can eat them will eat them without a care, can feel pain but lack a mouth to scream with.

    Wanting to be alive as a tree shows how little one knows of them and is a typical case of greener grass on the other side.

    Being willing to see only the good in others and envying them, yet unwilling to see the good in and resenting oneself. That’s why one needs a therapist.

    This is good. It’s progress. Keep sharing these emotions and see them as they are. Eventually, acceptance will follow.

    You can sorta see the alpha thingamajig in hyenas. The chick with the biggest clit gets a possy of white knights trying to please her.

    But it’s not obligatory. Dudes just chilling together and biting asses can still happen without a chick to lead them on.
