    What are your gaming pet peeves?
  • Sequels having less features than the previous game without being a complete enough experience that you could ignore it. If they got rid of a lot of shallow features to focus more in-depth on others, that's understandable.

    Which Life Pro Tip disappointed you?
  • The pillows that they made from the same material were in pillow cases and you could still feel it through them pretty easily. I doubt a sheet would help for the mattress. A mattress pad might be enough to cover the gross texture, but at that point you would have wasted money buying a gross feeling mattress when you could have bought one that didn't need a mattress pad to feel like a bed.

    Which Life Pro Tip disappointed you?
  • I went to a furniture store with a friend to pass the time before she had to pick up her boyfriend up from work, and we were looking at the mattresses since she was thinking about buying a new one. The Purple mattresses were consistently disgusting feeling. They were made out of gel material and felt like those stress balls you get out of a gumball machine. I decided to test what it's like falling into the bed and as soon as my arms touched the mattress I knew it was a mistake. It felt like nails on a chalkboard. I would never be able to sleep in one of those beds unless I was wearing long sleeves, and maybe not even then. If I had a girlfriend who had one of those beds, I'd rather fuck her on the floor or just have her come to my place exclusively. They were also selling pillows from the same company, and they were heavy and the texture was even more noticeable.

  • A while ago I sent my friends the covers of the Game Informer magazine that came out the month and year they were born. It was a cool thing to see. Sort like like the cooler version of a Zodiac sign, but only works if you're in your 20s or early 30s.

    Unity apologises for "confusion and angst" over fee changes
  • I wonder if they feel like the devs who would leave already did so changing their mind isn't important. I don't think they're capable of thinking in the long-term.

  • During the super blue moon, I went outside and howled as quietly as I could so I wouldn't get the cops called on me. It was planned in advance with my friends.

    Getting bike lanes built quickly and cheaply
  • A lot of the reason I've put off buying a bike is that most of the bike lanes were either nonexistent or painted ones that abruptly ended whenever there's an intersection. I personally knew a little kid who got hit riding through the neighborhood, and whoever hit him sped off. Luckily he survived, but he very easily could have died if they hit him at a higher speed. Drivers just normalize being impatient way too much nowadays (especially after the pandemic) that you can't trust people to obey things like painted lines. You need barriers, even if they're cheap temporary solutions.

    Have you ever developed a PTSD only by watching a piece of fiction ?
  • The closest to it was watching Dahmer and getting to the part about the teenage boy because it was a fictionalized depiction of a real event. Despite knowing about what happened for years, there's something different about seeing it depicted on screen. It wrecked me for a while afterwards, and I stopped watching the show because how much it bothered me. It would have still bothered me if it was fiction, but probably not anywhere to the same level.

  • I haven't, but I have pulled by shoulder lifting a mattress at a weird angle to put on a fitted sheet that caused me to hear ringing in my ears and made me feel like I was almost going to. That was maybe two weeks ago, but it stopped after I laid down for a bit.

  • What's become the most deadly wildfire in the United States in the past 100 years, and they still found all of the bodies. 93 people have been confirmed dead so far, but there's at least 100 people missing. They're searching with dogs through the rubble, so those numbers will probably change in the next 24 hours.

    Sell Me On Your Shows
  • It can be funny but it’s honestly more emotional than you might expect. It’s really more of a drama. That being said, the jokes make it easier because the setting is really gloomy.

    Also, don’t think about the science too much going in. These are classic zombies that just became more human through medicine. They haven’t even really found out why they came back, only a way to treat it. The medicine hadn’t even been around long enough to know what happens to the patients longterm. Also, the fictional medicine is not very subtle in the fact that it almost sounds like a real antidepressant. (Neurotriptyline vs nortriptyline)

    Sell Me On Your Shows
  • In The Flesh is a zombie show about what happens after they develop a cure for zombism and reintegrate them back into society. Unlike most modern zombie settings, "Partially Deceased Syndrome Sufferers" are your classic "crawling out of the grave" type of undead that aren't capable of spreading it through bites. Instead, if they eat a person, that person just dies. On top of this, scientists only know how to treat it through an injectable medicine, but many physical effects of dying are permanent and they are capable of reverting back if they go off of their meds or take a drug called Blue Oblivion. Underneath their makeup and contacts, they still look like corpses and have some degree of decay. This leads people to be very cautious around PDS sufferers because they're unsure if they're taking the meds properly or worse- not absorbing them. There is a local militia called the HVF who used to actively fight the undead who are now adjusting to both civilian life and also the fact that the enemy is now considered human. They don't get much action anymore with the exception of catching the few untreated undead that still roam around in the wilderness and bringing them in for the reward, though this is a step up from their original stance of killing any they find included treated ones.

    The show follows Kieren Walker as he returns to his family after years of being dead from a suicide at 18. His younger sister, Jem, was a member of the HVF and found him and another zombie eating her girlfriend, Lisa. Jem couldn't bring herself to kill either of them, and this led to them both being able to be treated. However, she struggles with the guilt that she could have done something to stop him from killing Lisa and is initially hostile towards him when he returns home. To complicate things, his old "hunting buddy" finds Kieren and introduces herself as Amy Dyer. She's an outspoken hippie who tries to seem like she doesn't care about what people think and believes people should get used to the situation. She also doesn't cover herself up with the makeup and contacts, while Kieren can't stand to look at himself without them. She's wild enough to push him outside his comfort zone so he can get comfortable with socializing with people again, and she becomes his best friend. His BDFF, (Best Dead Friend Forever) as she calls it.

    There is a group called the Undead Liberation Army who are first introduced to Kieren by his roommate while he was still in the treatment facility. They live on a commune like peaceful hippies, but are extremist in their beliefs and want to cause the Second Rising to get revenge on the living. They are also creators of Blue Oblivion, the drug that can temporarily revert the user back into a predatory state before it wears off. They use it to coordinate terrorist attacks on the living, and his old roommate in the facility took the drug to attack the staff.

    On the polar opposite side to the Undead Liberation Army, there is a political party called Victus who was formed in opposition to reintegrating the undead back into society. They gain political control over the town, and push an already hostile environment even further.

  • I had a couple classmates that pretended to be vampires back in elementary and middle school. They’d pretend their Koolaid was blood, complain about the sunlight, and bite their friends a lot. Not enough to draw blood, though. I haven’t kept up with most of them, but one guy is a teacher now. He seems pretty normal.

    There used to be a water park in my hometown that had a bunch of slides and a wave pool. I used to go there all the time as a kid, and even went there as a senior on a trip. I went to birthday parties there, sometimes.

    It closed in 2020 and never reopened because they had apparently been avoiding paying bills for years. It wasn’t just the pandemic. It was visible from the freeway, so I watched it slowly being demolished over the next couple years any time I passed by.

    I haven’t found a water park that really compared to it yet. Most are either too small or part of a larger theme park, which is fine. It just seemed like the fact that it exclusively was a water park allowed it to focus more on the atmosphere and types of slides it had.
