To me, this is like how “The Mid-West” is in central/Eastern USA, and “The Middle East” is not actually anywhere near the Mid-West, but in Western Asia.

Arbitrary phrases that sound like they would have concrete/objective definitions in relation to one another, but are actually defined by culture, history, and however the person using them interprets them, lol

The problem is that everyone has a different definition of “rich”. I think OC has a good definition.

I’m not personally a fan of “middle-class” meaning “has about as much money as me, or as much money as I’d like to have”, or “anybody who has to work for a living, but doesn’t need to use a food bank”.

Before OP’s edit, mostly yes. But women are welcome to participate.

After OP’s edit, no, he’s looking for some nonsense like MGTOW or some incel stuff.

I can see that. But that doesn’t help identify sharing! Haha

Huh. The Apple one is new to me. It looks like an “upload” icon, which I guess makes sense.

The Android one looks like something being spread/copied from one point to two other points. Which also makes sense.

During a virtual meeting isn’t an employee’s free time…even if their mic is supposed to be off. Lol

Bats – the quintessential floof bird.

Beaver – halfway between beast and floof

I can’t imagine trying to play FO2 like an FPS, in that case…lol

FO2 is closer to a tactical RPG/SRPG, isn’t it? Isometric perspective and all?

I like Launchbox, but the entries are generally built around having a, uh…“digital collection”.

But I like it because you don’t have to worry about GameFAQs shutting down or changing what they offer. Launchbox is a desktop app (and a more-limited mobile app) that allows you to save your collection’s metadata locally. Then just back it up to the cloud from there!

It also supports Steam and other digital storefronts.

Check it out! It’s completely free, and optionally upgradeable with either a subscription or a lifetime purchase. Completely usable for free though.

Or learn to hide better.

Or pick up boxing.

No, loud volumes are one of the things I mentioned explicitly that cause pain inherently.

You should be using hearing protection when using loud tools or attending concerts.

There are so many kinds of difficulty that this is hard to answer.

There’s fake difficulty, where the game is just being cheap. Some games are hard because their mechanics or controls are just janky.

Some games are easy to lock yourself out of the ending and not know it. Try the game from the start again!

There’s genuinely difficult games, but any time a game is difficult in a “fair” sense, there are people on the internet who’ll beat it with a guitar controller, or blindfolded, or without any power ups.

If you want a game that not many people could beat…I don’t think many people could beat Bokosuka Wars today…

The Stampede?

I hardly ever beat Level 2…aka. the platformer version of “I Just Can’t Wait To Be King”.

And Level 3 has some annoyingly tough jumps too. I think The Stampede is level 4?

The only way most of us ever played the second half of the game is level select…

It’s generally not, though certain types of stimuli can cause pain through their own merit either directly or indirectly.

Bright lights that cause prolonged squinting, loud sounds (obviously), etc.

I recently learned that touch can also cause pain. Like just general touching that results in overstimulation that feels like pain. That’s not common.

I imagine it’s kind of overloading the tickle and itchy pathways or something, which feels painful?..

That is generally why people pay for things

I actually had more fun with FO3 when I fought battles like an FPS instead of like an RPG with VATS or whatever.

I pay for YouTube premium because I like the idea of content creators getting paid when I watch their videos. I don’t want to manually send each of them money or sign up for their channel memberships or anything. But if they make videos that I watch and they get a kickback? I’m fine with that.

I also have a YouTube channel that bring in a bit of beer money, so I use that to justify the cost.

If the emulator can’t run games from archive files, then I store what I play unarchived, and what I don’t play stays as archived as it was.

Unless they’re small files, then I’d probably back then up extracted. But I haven’t had a case where the files were small enough for me to store extracted but the emulator couldn’t run from archives.

I go for full libraries. This would never work for me! Haha
