  • I don’t bother communicating. I just play silently and usually mute the chat if it is toxic. Even games like overwatch worked out ok playing without communicating.

    The only time I had a decent experience playing with strangers was when I found specific gaming subs or Discord communities (e.g. casual gaming, gaming dads, etc) and played in a Discord voice channel. This was actually a really good experience in games like Street fighter or Apex legends. I could do dumb shit in game and they’d be completely chill and say “it happens” and carry on to the next game. Haven’t done this for the last couple of years though.



  • Spider-Man Remastered - 80% completed the story and left it there. Lost interest. Didn’t see any point in exploring most abilities when a hand full of AoE enemy clearing abilities were so effective.

    Guacamelee 2 I left close to the final boss and still think of it as one of the best games I ever played.

    Cuphead - had plenty of fun, but lost interest in replaying bosses so many times over and over.

    Eldest Souls - excellent game, but I took along break from it and when I came back I forgot how the mechanics and ability synergies worked out and felt like I was relearning it from scratch (except I was on advance and difficult bosses).

    Overcooked 2 - my wife stopped making time to spend on the game and would rather watch TV together instead.

    It Takes Two - my brother’s schedule never lined up with mine.

    Sifu - got too difficult.

    It’s expensive and blood can only be stored for so long. Easiest to stick with compatible blood types.

    There are also loads of other antigens in blood that can cause a reaction. These are just the commonly known ones. So blood should still be cross matched anyway if it isn’t an emergency.


  • I’m not religious at all. But in responding to your question OP: we don’t have to understand why people believe. Religion just isn’t for us, and that’s fine. Other people find it has value, and that’s fine too. The fact that religion has lasted this long with this many people is proof in itself that there’s some value people get out of it. We don’t have to get it to understand that.

    All the comments here that explain religion solely as dumb or irrational are just as closed minded as the people they’re criticising.











  • I haf a gaming laptop for over 2 years. Sold it this year to replace with a PC and I’m convinced I’m never going back to a laptop.

    Laptops run noisy and hot. The hardware is tuned down for poorer performance compared to PCs. Using one is not ergonomic at all. It’s a pain working around power management (I.e. forcing it to stay on to use as a server, etc), features like wake on LAN are hit or miss. They’re overpriced compared to similar PC parts. They’re hardly repairable or upgradeable at all.

    I’ve made a much faster PC for almost the same cost I sold a 3 year old laptop for. The laptop was always used with a monitor, KB, mouse anyway. If the portability is required then the Steam Deck makes for a much better portable gaming machine and an old secondhand workstation laptop will be dirt cheap and fast enough for all your office needs.
