  • My favorite series is disgaea, but I wouldn’t recommend it to most people, it’s over the top game breaking silliness.

    Chroma-squad is often overlooked, but captures a lot of what name 90s trpg’s great and improves on the formula quite a bit.

    The absolute best trpg imo is “bionic dues”, I feel like it you enjoyed into the breach you should definitely give bionic dues a shot, it’s such a different style of game,




  • I mean…

    I haven’t read anything about a console “beating” my deck, I’ve not really kept up with consoles since getting my deck.

    I’m not upset if something sells more than the deck, it’s a different environment, should I be annoyed i-phones are more popular than the deck?

    I don’t think Nintendos success will have any bearing on the next deck, be it design, marketing or release window, if anything the Nintendo coming out right now is great holdover/low market time between the deck and whatever comes next. If anyone was looking to buy new hardware right now it would be apt to compare the two products as the Nintendo would probably have better hardware, even though the product you get is so much different that 9 times out of 10 the honest & correct answer is ‘deck’.

    Whatever is driving this theory/controversy is baiting for your attention. I’d recommend taking it with a grain of salt and focusing on the bigger issues right now (especially if in America)


  • Holy fuck this is a terrible idea.

    The child was “saved” in that they can last longer until they’d die without a liver transplant.

    It was successful because of how easy the liver is to target with medications.

    “Fixing” one organ doesn’t change the entire bodies genotype, female sex cells will continue to (potentially) carry the defect.

    These genetic “diseases” are not all without any benefit, the most common example is sickle cell anemic people have higher resistance to malaria.

    There’s no telling how “fixing” things generically will alter other systems in the body, it was done to one organ to a briefly observed window of success, that’s barely more than anecdotal evidence.

    This is what I came up with in 5 minutes, I’m not a geneticist.


  • I’ve been a member since day 1.

    You absolutely get to keep your games, you don’t get to keep accessing the… App… That they have gate keeping a bunch of their “trove” games, but if you’re just going for this months games subscribe, redeem the keys, and cancel.

    I don’t believe there’s any saying you can’t continuously subscribe and unsubscribe. And if there is, sign up with a new account, they’re selling steam keys, they can’t revoke them.

    It’s honestly one of the best deals in gaming imo. I’ve only had 1 or 2 bundles I wasn’t enthusiastically happy with, and I found friends who were interested in taking those keys off my hands.

    That said it only adds to my back log every month. But 10$/month (grandfathered in) I cannot complain with the service at all.

    Actually 1 compliant, if you don’t redeem the keys immediately they might “run out and be ‘temporarily unavailable’” I’ve found a dozen of those and I check in on them once or twice a week and in the last 6 months they’ve only gotten more keys for 2 of those games, fortunately the 2i was most looking forward to.












  • Minecraft Creator notch went the same way, as did Dilbert author…

    I’m convinced there’s a cabal of billionaires that either get dirt on people on the rise and corrupt/blackmail them, or eliminate people who are not corruptable before they get too rich/powerful. It doesn’t take much to kill someone, and neuvo riche probably aren’t prepared for the precautions they’d actually need to take.

    That and money corrupts (or so we’re told, seems like it’d make as much sense that people who hoard money corrupt)



  • I’m using the same device, I stopped using signal about a year ago, my phone has updated versions a couple times since then, every couple months I would go back to find a password or login that I was texted, a couple days ago I started signal to look for a login and it said it had to update, now it says I have to “secure your number” and use it to log in to retrieve my messages.
