  • My first thought would be to just act stupid in that specific situation and straight up lie out of my ass:

    “But that tool is sharp, right?”

    “Nope”

    “If someone attacked you, would you stab them with it?”

    “Why are you trying to put words in my mouth?”

    Of course, this also has a high likelihood of backfiring. So just stfu with cops.

    “>If [wife] leaves him he gets an instant hotter replacement”

    As someone happily married, I am rather offended at how incredibly shallow this statement is. My wife is nothing short of an incredible human being, and someone assuming I would immediately get over losing her if someone “hotter” instantly replaced her is a horrible statement.

    And you just know that there are people IRL who think like this.










  • I grew up playing Gran Turismo 3, and that was an absolute blast. I had a Miata in the game that I put a lot of time into, and it taught me about how car tuning worked (to a certain degree, anyway). Fast forward a couple decades (ow, my back) - my wife (then-gf) had gotten me a PS5, and I immediately bought GTA7 at full price… Only to be met with an absolute assload of microtransactions.

    It bothered me so much that I ended up going out and buying a PS2 off FB marketplace and digging out GTA3 from my parents’ collection of games from my youth (they had sold the PS2 but nothing else from that stuff 🤷‍♂️).


  • Once you really get going with the volume of units - especially over a network - the loads on the system can get heavy. Basically, you get carried away having too much fun building some absurd army.

    I haven’t really run into that recently… Though I imagine pretty much any x86 system made in the last 20 years or so should handle it fine. I remember getting to that point on my old PIII-powered Optiplex GX1, that was a fun time. Trying to build nukes, an army of assault kbots/vehicles, bombers, and construction bots, and trying to guide what remains of your previous armada to where you think the enemy is because they took out your long range radar units…

    I do have the CDs in storage somewhere, too, I should dig those out and see if they play nice.
