Also, given how Trump’s been even more incoherent and irrational in this election compared to 2016’s, I’d be surprised if he’s still grounded enough in reality (or even alive) to seek more terms in 2028 - he’s already in his 80s and doesn’t live a healthy lifestyle; he has supercharged billionaire-only medicine, but there are only so many miracles that medicine can do.

I guess maybe the Republicans would try to keep him as a front for PR (like a puppet president) while hiding the fact that he’s senile from the population, and governing from the shadows. Which I suppose is barely better than direct rule from Trump himself.

Now I’m curious: if Person A serves two full terms as US president, then Person B (from the same party) runs and chooses A as their vice-president, and then steps down, what would happen? Would A be unable to be picked as B’s Vice President in first place, or would A simply be legally unable to be sworn in as President after B stepped down and the Speaker of the House gets the position instead?

Came here to suggest Unbound too!

I’m the same way (also have ADHD). I love Subnautica*'s underwater gameplay and alien moon aesthetic, but I can only really play it in Creative Mode since I really like building bases and exploring without worrying about resources and dying.

(* I have Below Zero instead because I like the snowy aesthetic and playing as a girl 😅)

Cassette Beasts is so good.

I’m not hopeful. I’ve already seen centrists and pundits saying that Harris lost because she’s “too progressive” and that Dems need to move further right.

Given Dems’ track record, I’m dreading 2028 is going to be JD Vance versus fucking RFK Jr. or Joe Manchin. At least the only silver lining out of THAT shitshow will be seeing the Democratic Party completely implode after completely alienating their voter base to become a carbon copy of the Republican Party (while Repub voters just keep voting R) and hopefully pave ground for an actual progressive party replace them, but that will hardly offset the horrors of 8 years of unrestrained fascism (assuming the left wins in 2032 🥲)

To be fair, Stirner was a pretty cool dude, so I get why :p

This was a great review, thank you for sharing. I’ve been meaning to play Fallout 4, but as someone who loved the worldbuilding of New Vegas, the story puts me off.

What I’d really like is a mod that removes the game’s main storyline, so I can either focus on the adventuring/settlement-building aspects (thus turning the game into a sandbox), or combine it with good story mods and basically have them replace FO4’s main questline. The only mod I know that does it is Fallout London. (I really need to figure out how to run it on Linux…)

Do you happen to know or recommend anything that fits with what I’m looking for?

I never heard of it, I’m intrigued now. Do you remember what it was called?

It’s in the Workshop! Here you go: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3293418308

I really need to get more into Project Zomboid, I really love its Sims-like aesthetic and early 90s setting. But the whole zombie apocalypse thing quite scares me since I’m pretty terrified of the idea of being eaten alive by a zombie horde and then becoming a zombie @_@ (the end of the tutorial shook me to my core, lol)

I actually made a little “modpack” collection and sandbox game mode that turns it from a zombie apocalypse game to something more like Silent Hill (replacing zombies with eldritch entities, and making them spawn less frequently and move slower, but be far more resistant to damage), since that ironically makes the game less terrifying for me and more manageable to play 😅 (plus I quite like liminal spaces in general, which is something I wanted to replicate with the mod collection)

This is currently me with modded Kerbal Space Program and Cities: Skylines lol

Now I’m honestly kind of glad that I’ve been too lazy/depressed to figure out how to get FOLON to run on Linux. I really hope they fix all this…

I’m fully out of the loop on what’s going on, but I really hope the emulator doesn’t shut down, I love my PS1 emulation…

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 is my childhood game and I will always love it. I also like various other games from the NFS series, from the first one up to Carbon.

Not many newer racing games I like, but I do enjoy occasionally playing art of rally, Inertial Drift, Forza Horizon 4 and Wreckfest.

As a fellow ace, I get your frustrations, I’m sorry you have to deal with this.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa, WHAT? I don’t use RetroArch most of the time (I find its UI rather inconvenient), but I had no idea its main developer was transphobic, can you tell me more?

Appendicitis. I described it as feeling like a Chestburster from Alien was gestating inside me and ready to chew its way out of me at any second. I needed near-lethal amounts of painkillers while awaiting surgery to not feel like I was about to die.

For comparison, I broke my foot last year and it still wasn’t anywhere near as painful as appendicitis.

I dealt with that too, sadly. Thankfully there is a mod that can alleviate it. (I’d link it but it’d also reveal spoilers…)
