Cripple. History Major. Vaguely left-wing.
Hey Ada! Sorry to bother you, but I don’t know how to message off-Kbin accounts. There seems to be a spammer or bot or something using a blahaj.zone account.

Just strings of unrelated words and image links.
Ah, that brings me back!
If they want to cosplay, that’s disrespectful, but it’s whatever at the end of the day; they only humiliate themselves. But making money from it? That’s fucking scumbag behavior of the lowest sort.
In addition to the blatant racism displayed by their prominent members.
Not everyone is convinced. Crystal Semaganis, a Plains Cree activist from Saskatchewan who now lives in Temagami, Ont., was among those questioning the group when the Place d’Orléans announced the opening on Facebook on Sept. 5.
“Just because you all have money and bought a laminator doesn’t make you remotely Indigenous, and you’re certainly NOT Metis,” she wrote on Facebook. “Y’all are delusional! FRAUDS!”
Dumont replied: “No, little girl, YOU are the ones taking all the money, including our hard-earned tax money to get everything for free. You are the fraud … not us.”
In an interview, Semaganis said the comment struck her as racist. It is a stereotype that First Nations don’t pay taxes and “get everything for free” in Canada, and Dumont acknowledged that to CBC Indigenous.
“It is,” said Dumont. “It’s not my best time. I admit it.”
Jesus Christ. I highly encourage people to read the article. It’s fucking wild. Looks like a grift, and a grift run by disingenuous racists at that, from top to bottom, at the expense of the indigenous.
Nuclear maintenance is very expensive.
Nukes are actually terrible for defense purposes, since starting a nuclear war is a very ‘all or nothing’ affair, which means your choices are reduced to “Armageddon” or “Let the other side have their way” whenever a crisis comes up.
Neat map, thanks. I’m not terribly far away from clearer night skies, but I’m down in the red-purple and not particularly mobile.
Don’t think I’ve ever seen a legit night sky in person.
I feel like I spent a good portion of my time walking and finding ways across rough terrain even after all the fancy gear was unlocked. The motorcycle could get you maybe half the way, usually.
I mean, at least until the zip-lines. Those ruined the game. Honestly, the rebuildable roads were a bad inclusion as well. Sitting on top of a hill, looking down at the streams and terrain around you, figuring out the best route with your tools, was peak satisfaction in that game.
BABA IS WIN
Hey, I might have a few for you!
Majesty (Majesty 2 is okay, but lacks the charm of the original, but YMMV) - you run a kingdom full of heroes. The catch? You don’t command the heroes. They have their own AI and goals and you have to offer incentives and place the necessary buildings appropriately to both enable and encourage them to do their jobs of saving the kingdom.
Ronin - a stealth/platformer. Combat is turn-based. No, combat is not mechanically separate from the stealth OR the platforming. Relatively short but very fascinating.
Pawnbarian - Roguelike, but movement and combat is done by chess rules.
Exanima. Combat is based entirely around physics/momentum and positioning. It’s hard to get the hang of, but is immensely satisfying once you get your “He’s starting to believe” Matrix moment and successfully block a few attacks in a row.
Crusader Kings 3. You know those map-painting Grand Strategy games, where the goal is to conquer other territories? One of those, but you’re running a noble dynasty whose fortunes rise and fall, even passing between the overlordship of different countries and kingdoms. A lot of personality. I guess it’s not as innovative as it once was, since it’s spawned imitators at this point. Hm.
Ring of Pain. It’s… hard to describe.
Phasmophobia. Multiplayer only. You hunt ghosts. Not like, ‘combat’ hunt ghosts, like ‘You need to find evidence of ghosts’ hunt ghosts. But the ghosts definitely hunt you back - in a much more malicious way.
Death Stranding. Walking simulator. No, not like ‘You don’t do anything but hold down the walk button’, like ‘You need to keep your balance while carrying things’ walking simulator. Immensely weird.
Star Trek: Bridge Crew. Multiplayer only (at least practically speaking). Each person plays a separate member of the titular bridge crew, and cooperation to achieve even simple tasks is key.
Gods Will Be Watching. A series of puzzle scenarios about calculated risk, failure, and learning the rules anew each time.
Lovely drawing! Really brings me back
JUPITER gives us STRENGTH!
No, I’m just a cripple who works from home and has a huge backlog of favorites saved up over the years. The memes mostly aren’t mine, but I don’t automate the posting. I’m just bored and trying to justify having all of this shit collecting cobwebs on my hard drive the last few years, lmao.
It has so much atmosphere to it, I don’t think any other game has truly replicated it so far. Haven’t tried the third yet but I heard bad things.
Pathologic 2
God, I’m so fucking hyped. Me and my best friend’ve talking about this since it was first announced.
I don’t disagree on why NV is a better game, but do we really need an in-depth argument about it? Just do some bantz and let the guy have his opinion.
As we live in (post-apocalyptic) AMERICA, where DEMOCRACY IS NON-NEGOTIABLE, you are entitled to your wrong opinion
It’s… actually a bit ugly. But if it brings the locals happiness, de gustibus non disputandum est.
