breakfast, if i don’t have a good breakfast i might as well be considered a zombie

i have some blood sugar thing that makes it so my cells make a crazy amount of insulin, so if i don’t eat for 6h+ i’m basically all out of sugar

nobody is dying on hills here, this is a joke

these don’t look like they fit any body part really, so they’re either custom made or perhaps made from chest harness parts? idk

honestly good for them, this tells me they realised how useless the “1.x.x” format is since they do not plan on ever having it tick up to 2.x.x, and changed it to something that allows them to convey more meaningful information

with the current team of devs who’s ethos seems to be to never touch the already well established gameplay features there will never be a minecraft 2.0

the entire philosophy of development for that game would need to change for that to happen

maybe OP heard of dry brushing and got a little confused

yeah but my brain is a bitch too, and sometimes i wake up, turn off the alarm, and then go back to sleep fully believing my alarm will wake me up

that guy’s more recent stuff is much better. he’s really grown as a writer and video creator

one of my favourite videos of his, “sleep is just death being shy”, guides you through a mortality related existential crisis and leaves you with a sense of wonder for existance, good stuff

consider though - politicians nowadays don’t think. they think so little, in fact, that the last time i checked websites for self harm/sexual assault support or reporting were considered “too adult” for kids to have access to in the UK

if it was about kids’ safety, this wouldn’t have been omitted

idk what to say man, the game literally has an autopilot, all you need to learn is how to take off, and land. but you can’t relay on the autopilot to do the exploring for you - being able to control your ship when needed is necessary

what other accesability options can you think of adding to a space exploration game that needs 360° of movement?

really well said! :) i know of Nerd³, i learnt about him through an even more underrated youtuber - ManyATrueNerd, they play together sometimes. if you like goofy british men who suffer from flashes of both extreme intelligence and deep stupidity, often in the same sentence, check him out lol

i wouldn’t worry about it too much, we all struggle with the ship at first :) even the best of us! piloting it becomes second nature after some time though, just gotta learn through practice

there is a way around that friend!

(light spoilers for the core mechanic ahead, first half an hour or so of playing):

i bounced off this game 2 times before it got me, but there’s no rush, it’ll wait for you

fair enough, for me it struck all the right chords inside, but not everyone has the same chords

i simply do not hear enough people talking about Outer Wilds, i know it released in the same year as the AA game by Obsidian - Outer Worlds, the title of which is different by whole two letters, which provided a very good distraction but

AAAAA

Outer Wilds is a lighting in a bottle video game that the majority of those who have played it wish they could experience for the first time again. it’s a stunning piece of art that makes you cry and you’re not even sure what exactly just happened. but there’s always a point where it all just hits you - and all you can do is cry

it doesn’t handhold you, in fact it doesn’t give you any objectives at all, you’re lead through the entire game by sheer curiosity alone - and oh boy will that curiosity make you zoom across the space back and forth until you get to the bottom of it. when you utter your first “oh what’s that? i’m going to check it out” it’ll have you, you might not realise it yet but you’re now primed for adventure

this is the only game i’m not afraid to overhype. i watched that game sit in my library, for over a year, and in that time i hyped it up in my head to unreachable levels, to the point where eventually i was close to afraid of playing it because how could it possibly meet that standard i’ve envisioned? and you know what? it was better than i’ve ever imagined. it waited for me to be ready to sit down and play it, and then it delivered and experience that i’ll forever treasure

maybe it won’t hit that exact sweet spot for you as it did for me, but bloody hell can i assure you you’ll never forget it - even though you’ll wish you did, to play it for the first time again

oh and if any of my vague praise made you interested - rule #1 of Outer Wilds Club: don’t talk about Outer Wilds. don’t look up anything about it, you want to experience it as blind as you possibly can, some people even go as far as buying their friends a copy so they never have to look at the steam page screenshots

there are two reasons for that!

older older movies often didn’t have much sound design, you heard what the people on set heard and maybe one sound effect or two if they wanted a gunshot without shooting guns on set

most movies today are sound mixed for cinema, which almost always has a very expensive set up of speakers with one (or two) central speakers reserved specifically for dialogue. noticed how when you’re at the cinema you don’t need subtitles as often even though you’re crunching through popcorn? but the problem arises when the producers decide they can’t be bothered to hire the sound guy to make a separate sound mix for streaming or DVD and just mince the 7.1 speaker mix through your stereo headphones, squishing all the dialogue together with everything else without a care for the physical differences in playback

cages are expensive and bards are artists (read: broke) the bard absolutely likes it in there

yeah but there’s also a higher than average chance that the bard is into it so, might backfire

oddly enough my last dentist visit was my first in like 6 years, and i got complimented on my teeth too, the only note was “drink less tea” and that’s not happening lol. and i just brush with a normal toothbrush twice a day (sometimes, usually once)

so in short, idk why i got told i need to put in so much more effort

i was told flossing should be an at least 20min task (ideally 30min) + 20min of using those tiny inbetween teeth brushes, and that i should pay full attention to what i’m doing to make sure i’m cleaning my teeth well

all that made me feel like it’s too much work and now i continue to just not do any of that
