@Jonforum Their argument is that Steam isn't a subscription based service, and that you buy a game as you would anything else, thus granting yout the right to resell it. In the eyes of the court, you own your Steam games just as much as you own pretty much everything else you've ever bought.

It's a good thing for consumers, but it may encourage devs and publishers to turn their games into actual services\subscriptions.

the issues here is the offline mode.
Buy!
Make offline!
Sell!

@Finnuval You could give people riddles to solve before they're granted access to your books.

@Lemonrice Being a full time mummy also means you have a lil' cuddle monster to nap with. ^.^ Well, when he's not pulling knobs off doors and cupboards, or hiding your stuff in-between tax forms. xD

Or covering the floor with plates and mugs... Creating the home version of "the floor is shards" xD but you know these moments, when you are tired all day and once you actually have time to sleep, you're wide awake.

Fungi have a symbiotic relationship with many plants and animals, are some of the best ecological decomposers, and are many of our most important medicines (antibiotics). They also are the kingdom responsible for booze...so. Pretty cool little dudes.

@Ms Littlefish Apparently, they helped shape life on land as we know it. They are also capable of eating through rock, apparently. lol. Oh, a certain type of ancient fungus, known as Prototaxites, were enormous; so big that the fossil discovered was mistaken for a tree. Amazing stuff!

And @The Stranger, if you don't make it, we're gonna test out some ghost hunting equipment at your home. Just a couple of things a guy invented in his bedroom/parent's garage

annoyingly I CANNOT sleep except at night. I can lay awake for 5 hours and not get a wink of sleep

@Nightblade50 well I can't sleep most of the time... night or day... getting 4 hours of sleep in total is maximum so... xD

But there are many many mods you can get for it. More than sims 3. I have like 500 custom content files alone. There are some mods I actually don't remeber the name but one was about screepy toddlers that murder people, one was about you murdering people and the one I remember the name of is wicked woohoo lmao. Use that only if you want to make weird videos of your sims

I really like making characters, so the Sims appeals to me greatly. I only wish it wasn't so clean or utopian. Bad or evil actions in the game are just goofy and comedic. At least being a vampire is fun. You can actually force other sims to let you drink their blood, and can even enter their homes without permission so as to feed upon them.

The criminal career sucks. I remember needing to do stupid stuff, such as prank other sims, in order to move up in the career. I mean, what kind of criminal are you? xD

Better you than me XD I couldn't map my way out of an atlas

I alway find new excuses to avoid mapping and do writing and planning instead. xD

@KaiWeWi LOL! That reminds me of the time I was put on new meds, and decided to go to the shop despite my head feeling funny and floaty. I saw what I thought was a cat, but it wasn't moving. I went up to it, and started stroking it. After about a minute, I realised it wasn't a cat at all, but a large dandelion growing up out of the pavement. I stopped storking it and hoped no one saw. xD

My sister claimed to had seen a lion in a ranch down near San Antonio. She would only see it at night and in the same spot.

It was a plastic bag. She's not the brightest candle on the cake.

@samkfj A plastic bag. xD Our senses are so easy to deceive.

So yeah, death stranding is a pass for me. Then again the last game I paid more than 10 bucks for was vampyr, I dont tend to buy games at full price for the most part.

Y'all could play destiny 2 with me :>

@Philosophus Vagus I'm not even sure why I was thinking of buying it to begin with. It's not as if I've enjoyed any of the Metal Gear games. I also dislike the vast majority of simulation type games. So, I really have no idea why I thought I'd like to play a courier simulator with a bit of shooting, and a few sci-fi tropes, sprinkled on top. Probably just swept up in the insane amount of hype.

I think so. The first job is the tanning of a hide. I think the last job is treading human urine into some sort of fabric so as to get it white. xD

I remember that episode lol well the huge boil anyway xD

And some more interesting ones https://allthatsinteresting.com/weirdest-inventions

Ah, they don't write them like that any more.

I guess the Dreamlands, with its mix of horror and whimsical fantasy, doesn't sit well with what people expect of Lovecraft. On the other hand, you also have alien species, such as the Yithians, and the ELder Things, who aren't gods at all, but sci-fi civilisations. I love it all, to be honest. The Otherworld in my setting, known as Twilight, is influenced by the Dreamlands.

Well what makes Lovecraft great in my opinion is the inclusiveness of his worlds but yeah some ppl will always want to focus on a single part... their loss though xD

Praise our mistress Nyarlanthotep!

@The Stranger 'The' Feast of the Dead (celebrated in lots of countries) is 2nd November, called "All Souls Day" when people visit graves, etc. Halloween was originally just the eve of "All Hallows" i.e. All Saints Day. & you were supposed to stay indoors because that night the souls of the day could wander around.

@Kes It originally was linked to a specific phase of the moon in ireland, I believe. The Church eventually changed it to the 31st of October in an attempt to assimilate ancient beliefs for the locals, and made it about departed saints. The other stuff, such as ancestor veneration, the thinning of the divide between our world and the otherside, never really went away though.

In some places, it was celebrated for two or three days, and that's what I do. I guess celebrate is the wrong word for what I do, though. xD

My colleague's name is Jessica
I don't have a cat yet, but here's some of the names I'm thinking about: Misto, Kylo, Deano or Mox.

@slimmmeiske2 You should call her Jessicat and see if she notices. Ooh, I really like the names Misto, and Mox. Kylo makes me imagine a cat wielding a lightsaber. xD

"Kylo makes me imagine a cat wielding a lightsaber" That's the idea I'm naming my future cats after characters I like. Misto is short of Magical Mr Mistoffelees from Cats, Kylo's Kylo Ren (as you guessed) and Deano/Mox are after Dean Ambrose/Jon Moxley, who is one of my favourite wrestlers.

It was. Then she made them paid, but anyone who already got them when free could continue to use them for free.

@Shaz : I think it is because the environment has changed since then, at least in the West. Since Battlefront II came out gamers here in the US are fed up with games piecemealing things that used to be free selling it back as DLC.

And remember, most of us are also gamers too.

Oh I would totally cut this and sample it in a fake ad. It would be an advertisement for joining some imaginary armed force in an RPG World.

would you believe I was also watching his channel just this morning?
I mean.... what are the odds of that?
....unless.... ¬.¬ *squints over Google's general direction*

Is Disgaea a JRPG? If so, last JRPG I played was that Tik-Tok game, which is super cute. I don't enjoy the vast majority of JRPGs, though. I was talking more about the likes of Divinity Original Sin 2, Tyranny, etc. I'm okay with isometric RPGs, but love first person games much, much more.

Well, a void will be left, and we can only hope it will eventually be filled by someone else, or even a number of people.

I havent even got it yet xD

@Lemonrice Not intentionally. lol. It was only after giving him his name that I learnt that Walter White is the protag in Breaking Bad; it is Breaking Bad, right? Although, he is a mob a boss, and pushes a fictional drug. xD

@Lemonrice I might take you up on your offer. I don't have many people to talk with about my project; only other person is @Finnuval.

Coincidences like these happen

sure thing, I'm off to bed in a few minutes but just message me whenever you have something to share.

Oh, and you always get one clown who decides to use bleach in a communal washing machine, then doesn't wash it out properly afterwards. Thanks for ruining everyone else's clothes, dick.

All of that, yes! Seriously, laundry room etiquette is very clearly not universal. No one cleans the lint trip after they dry. People spill detergent and leave it. Cause it's not slippery, and you aren't walking in carrying a basket

It's obviously far too difficult to clean the crap out of the lint trap. It's not as if it has an effect on the performance of the machine or anything. >.> Spilling detergent all over the machine and floor is so annoying. Are these people just throwing the stuff in the general direction of the machine and hoping to get at least some of it in? xD

I keep hearing the V.A.T.S. sound
