well, we bought a gamecube controller adapter for the switch weeks ago, preordered the official one

the package got lost and because of scalpers they're already sold out so even though they're sending a replacement it won't be here until the end of january

just, ugh

this is the third package that got lost in like two months. what the hell is going on here?

I want fewer games that inspire competition and more games that inspire wonder, creativity, games that explore interesting topics

Why does it seem like every video game these days is either a mobile game designed to get you addicted to it so you buy in-game currency, or a multiplayer-only FPS?

What happened to games with really good stories? Games that pull you in not for their cheap addictive tricks or their heavily skill-focused gameplay but for their immersive stories and intricate lore? or hell, even just games that are _fun to play_? they're all just either trying to get you to buy stuff, or being way too serious and brown. or both.

can I just say that I _love_ being able to feel safe talking about plurality stuff here and not having to constantly worry about someone attacking us for being different

Remember that time Burger King made an xbox 360 game and it was one of the top 10 best selling games of the year?

my awoo account is currently open on both of our computers, the laptop and the desktop across the room. This means that every notification we get, the sound comes from both sets of speakers. It's an interesting effect.

@Carbisari oh hey, didn't I meet you (possibly while I was using the name Xolroc) on IRC a couple years back? Good to see you're still around.

ghhhhh very overwhelmed by stuff today

social interaction is hard x.x

thought: rainbow cables except with trans/bi/pan/poly/etc flag colors instead of just the gay pride flag colors

We've been curious about this for a very long time and never seen a good answer:

Why do some people capitalize every word they type? We see it _all the time_ and I'm wondering if it's a case of people not familiar with the Latin alphabet (or just alphabetic writing in general) misunderstanding some rule?

If anyone has any idea please do reply to this, I'd really like to know

I will never not find it amusing that there is a brand of cookies named Liebniz, and a brand of cookies named Newton

Well, we'd been wondering for weeks what was causing our laptop's fan to whir so loudly (that's a lot of w words!)... finally sprayed an aerosol duster in the fan vent and a huge amount of extremely fine dust that looked almost like smoke came out. No wonder it was struggling!

Note: It only looked like smoke. It did not have the characteristic smell of magic smoke.
