Yeah… true. My shirt is wrong too. Its been 40 years since Super Mario Bros on the NES, but there was Donkey Kong in 81 and Mario Bros in 83.

My 40th is in 3 months. Mario is 3 months older than me.

I am the same age as mario… i have a shirt that says made in 85. Mario is 3 months older than me… Im getting to the top of the hill.

I mainly use PayPal as a necessary evil so I don’t have to pull out my wallet and put the card info in every time I want to buy a game. I dunno maybe I SHOULD go back to that because then only the games that are worth the effort of getting up off the couch are the ones I’d buy.

US, obviously.

Yeah god that sounds like a nightmare.

I mean… Kinda Baldurs Gate 3, especially if you are a high charisma class. You can also be monk. They key is dont use attack spells, and knock everyone out instead of killing them on thr mandatory fights. SO MANY of the fights in that game can be avoided or skipped with dialogue. You can, for example, bluff your way entirely into the enemy bases, use their shops, and completely decide to stay out of conflicts. Again, like you said in NV, sometimes the ‘pacifist’ routr makes you feel like shit. Like, you can skip having to side with either Minthara or the tieflings in act 1 simply by leaving for act 2. A lot of people die in the background though.

Only mandatory fights I think are at the end of act 2, and the final boss fight. Everything else can be avoided or conversationally skipped. In the final fight, depending on allies you got throughout the game you can technically have them fight everyone. Or you can just stealth past everything with greater invisibility or as monk or rogues that can sprint really fast.

I’m trans. Born male, transitioned female. I’ve always had a female inner monologue. Nothing like what I sound like out loud.

Yes I know how sensitive a subject it is.

Also, I too do not like small talk or mindless chit chat. If I talk, it is is in depth and with a passion about the topic.

Thanks for the constructive feedback instead of just assuming I was a bad person. I appreciate it.

Ok sure. Sorry I didn’t know ‘motherland’ was a negative phrase in Germany. I will not use it. My grandmother and mother were not German just great grandmother.

Software engineering. There is a lot of cognates yeah

Yeah, it’s just one of the avenues. I could also just get a job there as I’m in tech, I’m not quite fluent in German yet especially when it comes to tech jargon. But I’m getting there.

Germany. I might be able to claim ancestry rights. Ironic that my great grandmother fled fascism in Germany but I’d flee America to return to the motherland.

Yeah India is a striking example of a place where porn really NEEDS to be legal. Way too many horny single men there.

It helps to not have kids. Also helps to have a job with downtime, like when i. recompiling the software or publishing which takes forever sometimes.

Jokes on you I game with one hand and browse the net with the other
