And it refunds buyers.

Honestly, there’s only one early access game that I ever felt was worth it. BG3 did a lot with their time in EA. I’m sure there are others but my guess is that they’re not in genres I care about.

I remember playing that when it was Nexuiz (the first time). I may have to crank it up again now that I’ve been reminded of it.

Seconded. This is an excerpt from a comment I made the other day about it:

If you like making fun of quiverfull ministries, programming, Eldritch horrors, British humor (humour?), spy thrillers, agitated engineers, vampires that don’t exist, bloodthirsty elves, and a thinly veiled story about anthropomorphic climate change then this is the series for you.

Entities from other realities are listening and waiting for our computers to summon them.

I’m making this comment from a magical device that sends bottled lightning though rocks inscribed with very exact runes in order to display information from people all over the world.

Yep. I just raw dog All for the past 6 hours most of the time. The only communities I’ve blocked are the most active German ones because I don’t speak German.

It’s just Shatner, isn’t it? Except even he doesn’t really speak it even though he was in a movie that was entirely Esperanto.

I spent some time up there and I was surprised to find very similar sentiments to what I see here in Texas. Yee haw, fuck the law.

I’ve got a mouth like a sailor who stubbed his toe, mostly because I used to be a sailor who stubbed his toe a lot. Between my foul mouth and my either overuse or utter absence of fucking commas depending on how drunk I am I don’t think I’ll ever be mistaken for an LLM.

I didn’t really think of it that way because I can’t imagine really advising people to stop working once they have $10k in the bank. That seems like a recipe for disaster.

However, you are technically correct. The best kind of correct. I hereby promote you to grade 37.

If you have 7 figures saved and don’t have it properly invested you’re losing money at the rate of inflation minus the paltry interest rate you’re getting from the bank.

Except for retirement accounts, the middle class and lower keep most of their money (I would guess most times it’s all of their money) in banks because it’s easy to make it liquid. On any given day you may have to spend it.

It’s so strange, around here there’s no real difference between a bloody Mary and a bloody Caesar. I know what the difference really is but no one seems to give a shit at brunch.

However, folks around here are super proud of their micheladas. Everyone does the clamato juice with vodka, beer, and Tajin. But they all try to outdo each other with the other spices and presentation.

Other than my friend’s pitcher that I loved, the place that does the best micheladas in my opinion is Captain Tom’s. It’s the most mediocre seafood joint that is amazing when you’re getting over being fucked up. If I hadn’t been to Taqueria Ruby tonight to fix myself I’d definitely be there tomorrow morning trying to feel normal.

People who go into cooking generally enjoy getting to be creative. I love those insane creations that require load bearing anything (although I don’t think I’ve seen straws, usually it’s toothpicks, skewers, or pickle spears).

My absolute favorite wasn’t the tastiest but it was definitely the coolest. The guy made a pretty standard bacon jalapeno burger, added some house made barbecue sauce, cut it into pieces, skewered it, and served it as the garnish for a pitcher of micheladas.

Note: A michelada is kind of what you’d get if a bloody Mary went to Mexico on vacation and added beer and spices.

There’s a bar here with that aesthetic. They do serve ok burgers at slightly reasonable prices, but the secret is to become friends with the cooks. Then tell them that you don’t care what the upcharge is, but you want them to make you the burger they’d want and to have fun with it.

Now I can go in and say “Tell them TexasDrunk wants whatever burger they want to send out” and 9 out of 10 times I get a burger that’s delicious (and sometimes insane). Usually they just charge me the regular burger price.

I don’t do it often, but I got good friends and good burgers out of it.

Have you ever heard the story about the grasshopper and the octopus?

All summer long the grasshopper worked to gather food while the octopus played video games. Then winter came and the grasshopper died so the octopus took all of his food. Also he got a racecar.

That’s where I get all my movie recommendations. I’ve seen most of them but once in a while I find a new one and get way too excited.

I love garbage movies.

This reminds me of the song Nrrrd Grrrl.

Yep. I have one registered for professional email. I don’t host anything else.
