Unless I’m missing something, “valve’s own website’s admission” is just a Steam community submission? That’s like saying Facebook admits that the government is run by reptilians and birds aren’t real and citing some boomer conspiracy theorist’s posts as the primary source.

Please do not the gators. :(

The word ‘intelligence’ doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline.

You’d have moths flocking to you at night, though, which might be awkward.

I’d watch a video of someone with architectural experience analyzing these old dungeons and ranting about how impossible to construct and functionally useless they are for anything other than dungeon delving.

I always make it a point to upvote content on smaller communities I subscribe to; I like to think it helps whoever posted the content to know that despite the very low engagement, people are in fact seeing it and appreciating it.

Some people definitely do want to, and in fact do.

The NFL just needs to invent a peace prize and present it to Trump, then he’ll immediately change his tune and start insisting that FIFA changes their terminology to Soccer.

Fancy rats make great pets. They’re very personable and they like being handled and interacted with (moreso than other rodents in my experience). I don’t know why you’d think nobody wants them, they’re rather popular small pets.

Coincidentally, I have two earlobes that I’m not using for anything - how much are you offering?

I think most of us are, but a lot of us made the switch quite some time ago… mid-2023 was a pretty big migration wave, and so have largely forgotten about Redditisms. :)

For what it’s worth, that’s probably more of a Reddit thing; I don’t think I’ve ever seen that asked on Lemmy.

That extra bit of context definitely helps to frame why someone would be asking you those things!

He looks perfectly gentlemanly. Bet those chest feathers are nice and soft to lay against, too.

Is the implication, then, that people with money are never dangerous individuals?

In some cases she’d be better off approaching a bear, but she won’t know it until it’s too late.

Sometimes he’d be better off approaching a bear, too, and also won’t know it until it’s too late. This isn’t a gender thing, this is just a “some people are shitty” thing.

A better approach would be to try to pick up a woman who’s alone, offer her a drink*,

A bit of a tangent, but I really hate this. Not meaning to call you out, this is a really common recommendation for an icebreaker and it’s also reinforced by popular media and the like, but it always feels to me like the implication is that if a man wants to approach a woman, they must buy something for them as part of that process. Like it’s a transaction fee to be given a chance.

Whatcha got there, the 4 volt?

That’s funny - MW2, BF: Bad Company 2 and BF3 were the last competitive shooters I really enjoyed, too. I had a good time playing Apex Legends for a while, but not because I was good at it… more because I could have fun playing my own version of The Running Man until someone inevitably found me. I was that wimp that would drop in some remote corner of the map and spend as much time as possible avoiding combat.

You’re welcome! It’s a topic I find intriguing, and it’s always interesting to discuss the different ways people experience these things, now that I realize we’re not all the same. :)
