  • I spent thirty years in the States and seven years now in Canada. I can say with absolutely certainty that the US system is fucked. I've never paid a dime in Canada.

  • It's wonderful. The clouds, the wildflowers, the balance of colors, and the purple robe on that thick ass wizard. It's perfect.

  • Things that made him cum:

    • Gambreled rooftops mostly

    Honorable mentions:

    • Gables
    • Central chimneys
    • Providence
  • I was playing some crappy F2P MMO (Perfect World, maybe?) and I made a warrior of some werewolf race. Just played with random wolf-related combinations and settled on this. Quit after two days and the username carried on for probably 15 years now.

    I don't even really know all that much about Stalin. I just pulled it out of my ass.

  • Does the server matter at all? Wasn't able to find a straight pixelfed.ca like I did with Lemmy, but it seems like people always end up dunking on the larger servers or defederating them because of Nazis.

  • I muttered this exact phrase today out of the blue, and now here it is.

  • I'm team deciduous all day, boys..

  • Worms up inside ya,

    Findin' an entrance where they can..

  • $17.99 for the 20 pc. In Canada. $10.79 for a 10 pc. I about shit when I immigrated here and realized nuggets were off the table. I can't imagine ordering that and picturing one dollar every time I pop one into my mouth. My wife buys me a ten piece for my birthday every year since I won't buy them myself out of protest. Also, my kid is old enough now to finish her 4 pc. Happy Meal, so I don't get to scavenge for uneaten morsels like I did before. It's tragic.

  • Damn, that was a good period, too. They just don't make 'em like they used to.

  • Could you please explain what this means? This is on par with that inbred on every Facebook post who comments "LOOKS LIKE BIDEN N KAMALER", and it'll be an ad for a Volkswagen.

  • Not sure how the fuck Lucy Glo and Sugarbee outranked Cosmic Crisp. Running a produce department has proven both apples to be extemely unpopular, and I've tried to promote them for a couple of years now since they hit the market. They're just not good apples. People don't even buy them after samples. Meanwhile Cosmic and Honeycrisp reign supreme, with Pink Lady coming after. Gala and McIntosh are still loved by the elderly and normies. But Sugarbee especially is some aggressively marketed trash.

    The bigger the Cosmic Crisp, the better the taste. Can't say much for the tiny ones that come in 3-lb. bags. They need more time to grow.

  • America is a shithole. I got out in '17 and my quality of life has improved tenfold.

  • No problem. I don't know what it is about 6am bathroom time that makes me write novels.

  • It functions well enough that I haven't noticed anything off, save for maybe two occasions in 40+ hours where I was unlucky enough to have bandits spawn in near me. Once out in the woods, and one time they literally appeared sitting in chairs in the room I had just passed through, then attacked on my way back through it. You can't help but laugh when it happens, but it's nowhere near like it was on release.

    I know that several of the squads I encounter in the wild have been artificially spawned in just outside of my exclusion radius, but they move organically enough that I've never had my immersion broken with the impression that these aren't just stalkers on their own mission. Sure, if I reload a ways back and travel the same route, it may well be a different assortment of them, no one at all, or maybe bandits or mutants the next time, but rather than feeling tacky it keeps the Zone feeling unpredictable. Retracing my steps after reloading often results in a wildly different experience from Point A to Point B, so I can't cheese my way through much of anything.

    I've also encountered large, roaming packs of mutants who, when avoided, travel well outside of my exclusion radius and continue to be heard far off in the distance (Flesh are a good example) even though they're no longer rendered on my screen. I've traveled in that direction a short time later just to run into the same pack having changed direction, so there definitely are some persistent A-Life doing their thing out there. It's just sprinkled with some chance encounters.

    All in all, the A-Life isn't exactly where they/we want it to be, but they've taken enough corrective steps that I find it very enjoyable, and I say that as a long-term fan of the originals, as well as hardcore versions like Anomaly. Honestly, the only thing I truly dislike about STALKER 2 is the number of bloodsuckers. They've become a lot easier to dispatch with my better gear, but if I'm ever going to run into three bloodsuckers in the wild, it should be like one time. But there are times where I encounter packs of them several times per day, and on Veteran difficulty that is absolute bullshit.

  • STALKER 2, and I haven't felt this frightened to climb down into the basement of a decrepit waste processing station since the original trilogy. So in short, it hits just right.

    I actually stood in my kitchen last night eating some yogurt and two Lucky Charms cereal bars just to procrastinate what I knew I had to do.

  • I also love marriage. I could chuck my wife off a bridge some days, and at times she admits she deserves it, but 95% of the time we are having a wonderful time. 9 years married, 14 years together. Apparently a lot of people marry women they don't get along with and then wonder why their marriage sucks. Or have kids to "bring them closer together".
