I don’t know if it’s what the original commenter was referencing, but the combat controls - mostly not shown in your list - were extremely unintuitive last time I played it. Otherwise I enjoyed the game.

When do the blondes, brunettes and redheads show up?

Preemptive edit: Connect keeps deleting the text of my post before I can post it and it’s really annoying. As a result this might not be as articulate as I tried to make my first attempt at a response.

Where I grew up, there was a horse pasture at the end of the road. (And another at the other end, but that one was at the top of a big hill so I never really saw the horses there. I only know it was a pasture because apparently my sister had a horse there, then lost it when she started getting younger brothers.)

Once my mom was driving my brother and me somewhere, doesn’t really matter where, and while she waited at the intersection adjacent to the pasture we could see, my brother and I observed a horse in an odd pose. While waiting to be able to cross traffic, she realized we were trying to figure out the horse’s unusual stance and said “and that, gentlemen, is how horses pee.”

Thank you for reminding me of my mother, if in an unconventional manner.

With how promiscuous he is in the films, that would make sense.

Pulling back the foreskin makes it way more challenging and uncomfortable to piss. I don’t really discuss the status of my foreskin with anyone, so maybe I’m unexpectedly in the minority, but … What?

I won’t deny I forget shit, as you say, but 99% (hang on, let me check that on my calculator) of why I look stuff up is to double check.

Most (but definitely not all) of why I use private browsing, for example, is because I’m looking up a tech question to which I know the answer, but about which I want to be certain before I make a git commit.

I don’t agree, but I suppose that’s a fair assessment.

My dad was, apparently, an alcoholic - and a pretty bad one - before I was born. I wasn’t around for it, but two of my three older siblings have told me various stories about it. He himself even told me of the night he met my mother, including the detail that that night, he was so drunk that he barely remembered how to get home after dropping her off at hers.

I don’t know how long before I was born he stopped drinking, but I only ever saw him consume one alcoholic beverage in my lifetime. When he did, he said “I wouldn’t mind one more!” but, to his credit, immediately stopped. I’ve inherited some of his proclivities, though I think not as severe, and am actively working against them. (I’m aware of the stopdrinking communities, this isn’t a cry for help.)

Point I’m trying to make is, if you’re trying to drink less or to quit … Be careful how you celebrate. He had some thirty years of sobriety to recover and was still tempted.

Fair enough, I don’t really know enough about architecture to contest this.

It seems to be enclosed, so it could probably qualify as a large room.

Why, to get to the other side, of course.

Da ba dee da ba da.

Wait, that’s the impact of nitrous oxide? Relaxed I can understand, but why would anyone seek out “light-headed and dizzy”?

As always, I don’t mean to criticize anyone who is safely enjoying their time as they desire, but that doesn’t sound fun to me. It sounds like being uncomfortably drunk.

Sounds fun.

Photic sneeze reflex

I have this, too. It’s useful when I’m trying to work out a sneeze, but can be confounding if that happens at night. Sometimes artificial light will work, but rarely.

What kind of lunatic is going to covertly monitor someone else’s shits?

My condolences to you. A VPN might help, though I think those are a lot of what they block. My phone (which is my primary method of accessing lemmy) has an always on VPN; some endpoints work for catbox, some don’t.

I read it in my early twenties, almost twenty years ago. I am not a developer but am in the same area. I always wear some form of shoes when I leave my house unless I enter someone else’s house. I don’t think I have trouble with personal space but I don’t really see anyone other than my wife and kid.

I remember liking some of the themes of the book but, reflecting on it now, yes, Heinlein can be problematic.

I don’t have any inside information, I’ve just read lemmy comments about it, but apparently there are a lot of source IP’s they block. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a reason why, but I’m guessing for either legality or privacy reasons.
