Sir Terry Pratchett. Actually, probably counts as multiple because the opening to The Shepherds Crown makes me bawl like a child, and it’s pretty much a step-by-step guide for mourning.

Discworld has been my comfort series for a long time. I have read most of the books more times than I can count. Spent months tearing through multiple a day.

Of course, his condition was known amongst the fans, we had all known it was going to be sooner than later, but it felt like a long chapter of my life was closed. I had looked forward to every release, cherished them. The man’s work had been beside me through some of the hardest times, always bringing a smile back to my face.

This is the real reason why we haven’t seen a new Splinter Cell. Can’t shoot out the lights, the technology is just lost to time.

Pretty often. I remember when I first came out exploring my gender identity, getting active on the Trans subs, I got hit by at least a couple. Felt really shitty, and wasn’t an uncommon issue from the complaints I saw surrounding it.

When we finally finish building the FOSS space program and begin our trek across the final frontier untouched by capitalism, you’ll be left behind.

You’re allowed to help build it, but we will not allow you to stay on as a maintainer, sorry.

Technically speaking, working. But given that it takes at least 45 minutes to start on my next step, and there’s also inventory prep going on, I’m hiding out of the way for as long as possible.

I had to borrow a car, it was going to be a 20 minute round trip, person and I sit roughly the same way, so I didn’t think to adjust the seat. It wasn’t terribly uncomfortable, just not exactly right.

Ended up pinching a nerve in my back. Could barely move for 3 days, had to delay starting a job because of it.

There’s also Mini Motorways. Same concept, different pieces. Heavily recommend both, both can scratch those “I just want to have a chill time” and “I wanna optimize and challenge myself” itches.

Super easy to pick up, spend your lunch break placing lines, and go back to whatever you were doing.

You have activated one of my hyper fixations(people who do hour+ essays on the most useless of shit). If you can handle the occasional 1-3 hours of a monotone voice, Davey is actually a lot of fun.

One of my favorites, his list of war crimes featured in the Pokedex. He’s also done StarCraft stuff(obviously), Balloons Tower Defense, and a few other things. He also doesn’t really post terribly often. It can take months for him to record and edit a project down, and he normally has 2 or more going at once.

Bonus: You’ll get to learn about Bug. Bug is a good boy. We love Bug.

I can’t believe I forgot the Thief games! Absolute classics. I need to get around to replaying them sometime soon.

Opposing Forces is the better of the two, but if you enjoyed the general story/feel of Half-Life, they’re definitely worth at least giving a shot.

Deus Ex and System Shock should definitely be on your list, just skip Deus Ex: Invisible War.

Also, as I don’t see them listed, did you check out Blue Shift and Opposing Forces? They’re 2 Half-Life expansions made by Gearbox, back in the day, that show the events of HL1 from different points of view.

What about the fuse boxes? I see the other fixes, but what about all the goddamn fuse boxes‽

You can do it right this time, please cut out some of that monotony.

Is Gearbox just ultra-sympathetic to their fans(not calling this a bad thing, I genuinely hope they are) or does getting diagnosed with a terminal illness make you go “Y’know what? Fuck it”.

Cause I feel like when I read “terminally ill fan”, it’s either about when Blizzard gave a fuck about their players, or Borderlands.

This is actually a really difficult question, because the answer is “it depends”.

Body chemistry can play a big part in scents. What smells good on one person might smell like absolute ass on another.

Looks like they’re at least they’re blaming themselves on this one, from what it sounds like. A lack of marketing, and failure to generate buzz.

“Can’t expect me to train my replacement if I don’t remember how I did it!”

You can get it on the eShop. Stardew is on pretty much any device that can run it. With mod support, if at all possible.

It’s kinda wild to see how many big PC mods have an Android version these days.

Procrastinating writing the reply.

He had 100,000 hours of practice.

Hey, either way, it’s not false advertising.

Probably about as bad as Tony the Tiger.

Actually, Tony’s online appearances are rarer, by now the poor Sonic interns are probably chowing down on chili dogs while Sonic makes a fresh one across Robotnik.
