I’m not a fan of the “new car smell”, for some reason. The “new computer smell”, on the other hand, is a rare treat.

Most seafood doesn’t get me too badly, though I still don’t like it. Cooking shrimp, on the other hand, makes it hurt to breathe for some reason. Not the same as nausea, but it still sucks.
I have a few that some others in the thread have already mentioned, but I can also:
Same here. Someone else in the thread said that’s your tensor tympani muscle.
Seems as good a reason as any to post this.
Good luck getting it out of your head, by the way.
The story was written for an audience of about 5 aging hipsters from Brooklyn.
Well said. The whole “epilogue” read like a hypercondensed Manifesto of the Pathological Twat.
we sort of see a 20 percent uplift on the value of that customer because you’re locking that person, committing to a longer-term relationship.
Do these people never listen to themselves? Who the hell wants to be “locked”?
Yes, we all do, and most of us outgrow it.

And yet the quote is still somehow not even remotely old.
All to make their job easier, lol.
Not a teacher, but what I keep reading is that they’re trying not to get pilloried by students’ screaming MAGA parents.
I thought I was so creative…
How hard is it to press on the stall door and if it doesn’t open, just move on to the next?
It wasn’t super meaningful from a narrative perspective, but no one who played Unreal when it was new is likely to forget that first step off the Vortex Riker onto Na Pali. Sure, there had been games like Myst, but this not only elevated how beautiful games can be, but put the player right in the middle of it like nothing else did. Not an easy moment to recreate. To be honest, that game plus UT2003/04 had some of the best graphics in the business, from both the technical and design standpoints.
I was okay with the name reveal. My problem was the unduly hyped Ghost Rider arc, and also the last two seasons, which were certainly unique, but couldn’t possibly have been more tacked-on.
Off-topic, but the fact that the replies aren’t scores of variations of “just hold the vessel to your lips like we do in the civilized world” makes me glad I switched from Reddit to Lemmy.
Unacceptable. Different thing bad!
Well, there’s an F2P game called Rumble Fighter that came out back in 2006/7, which for reasons I don’t understand in hindsight got its claws DEEP into me. It didn’t track play time, but I’d put my hours at 8000, conservatively. 2+ hours per day, nearly every day for about 11 years.
Not a point of pride for me, but I’ve always taken the John Lennon’s (alleged) attitude towards wasting time. So, no biggie.
Hoo boy, a college roommate of mine got so hooked on that one that he became effectively nocturnal. To his credit, he was courteous enough to put his bedsheets down over the foot of his bed so the glare from his monitor didn’t bother me while I was sleeping. I googled his name a while back and apparently he got his shit together, but that year was very worrying.
I ask myself “why?” after most Steam sales, one of which was earlier this month. Six or seven new games to join the backlog. Relatively cheap, to be fair.
