(I remain wary that this may change)

I thought so. Hopefully its unsustainable enough that they do something, dear god ANYTHING, about it?

Australia is similarly pushing age verification next month but steam is not currently on the list, thankfully.

Is the reason for credit cards being the only option down to steam, or down to the UK Govt.?

Like realistically why -aren't- the usual ID documents an option here?

I am in Australia, but if we ever got hit with that I'd have the same problem, I do not and will not have a credit card.

Or longer, I still haven't done RDR2 (though that's entirely because RDR1 was first inaccessible on PC and THEN still too expensive, and my brain demands release order even when the sequel is a prequel 😅)

Very valid reasons! I am torn between hoping its everything the people I like want it to be and wanting it to flop harder than Morbius because I think that's what Rockstar deserves (and it'd be really funny)

Either way, if its good I'll buy it for $20 in 5-8 years.

incubus - male demon that seduces women

vengabus - non-binary demon that likes to party

Its up there with Bethesda at this point, like I just can't care anymore.

Y'all needed to catch a ten years younger me, and you missed him

wait no. WORLDS. the other one.

They really needed to not make two games with that close a fuckin' name I swear to god

oh OUTER WILDS I'm like... Overwatch 2? Romance? What?

(This is an especially funny mistake for me to make because I met the love of my life and partner to this day in an Overwatch game in 2017)

... More like Juggy Liang amirite

(I am so sorry)

Squawk?

I kinda remember it with the logic of 'q always needs to be followed by a u, which means there's no need for a w in the first half, which means the w must be in the second half'

But that's just my brain resolving shit, so probably not helpful.

'marine migration' as it were

Very valid; after a childhood of being 'the near-illegible handwriting kid no matter how many times we try to fix him' I have deliberately not physically picked up a pen since my last year of high school but I imagine I am an outlier😅

Reminder/info for anyone who needs it that steam has a little game-specific notes app in the shift+tab overlay that you can also use for this kinda thing

Does it help to motivate by thinking about the simple math of it all?

Like. You get more done if your life is longer and your rest is good. Getting the maximum amount of 'shit you wanna do' comes from resting sooner. Delayed gratification, etc etc.

wait it was -desires-, fuck

Since if one's foes are vanquished, what need have you for dreams

Okay so parsing this

- Dreams come true if we dip it in sauce
- the craving is just to dip it in -SOMETHING-
- nothing in the statement says that we'd be AWARE of the advantages of that something being a sauce, specifically

I kinda wanna float 'blood of my vanquished foes'

Texas law requires everybody running small practices to have a physician husband?

...Huh.

So I'm not super confident but I THINK the context is just 'game running long, this is unusual, lets all post about it'

So... its just 'game running long', right...? Like that's the entirety of the reason everyone in America is posting about baseball?

All I know about the sport from down here in Australia is that its a Yakuza minigame sometimes and if I follow the @cyricz42.bsky.social guide I never have to think.

Complete double take here thinking this was a @shuchancellor.online post

Its a vague memory for me though. In 2015 my extremely neurotypical self decided to spend 8 months reading King's entire body of work in release order. I had not read a word of him before. I have not read a word of him since.

Was a fun year, though.

IIRC he got hit by a car and the close call inspired him to finish the Dark Tower quickly after dragging his feet for a number of years.

And in that conclusion he wrote himself into the book and had the main cast dimensionally travel to him and save him from his own car accident

BUT, it sounds like a well-written fun time, and an immersive story to go through if you meet it on its terms instead of wishing it was something else!

I look forward to diving in. In about 1-2 years when its 1/4 to 1/3 of the price.

Its getting exactly the reception I expected - both the nuanced takes from people who 'get it', and the bloodbath of disappointment we could all see coming. I think it was a CohhCarnage clip where he said the whole thing was set up to fail in such an avoidable way, chiefly down to that damn name.
