Vlemmy.net here, loud and clear!

Yes, several. I’ve never done drugs, I don’t drink, I have no diagnosed mental disorders.

Can’t really talk about it super openly here, but I would be happy to DM you. Both dark and good ones, mostly good.

The good ones were wonderful, made me feel more alive and aware than any other time in my life. Saw people healed seemingly miraculously, some other stuff that is really personal but very lovely.

The bad ones, especially the worst one was almost indescribably horrific. I’ll just say I decided it would be interesting to try and contact beings that shouldn’t be contacted, I was skeptical and didn’t think it would actually work, and I was horribly wrong. They accepted my invitation, I wish they hadn’t, terror followed.

DM me if you wanna know the details.

I’ll have to check that out lol.

I’ve tried to get into Arma 3 many times over the years. But it’s just way too much for me. I like some MilSim, but Arma is so complicated and just not worth it to me. To make it worse, everybody that I’ve linked up with to learn how to play with always says that the base game sucks and you have to install 15+ mods just to start having fun.

Sorry, but if a base game isn’t worth playing unless you spend 2-3 hours fighting to get 15+ mods all working together just to then get barely 40 FPS, spend another hour planning the mission, and then trying to remember the dozens of hotkeys for the 10 unique ways you can crouch next to a wall, I’m just not interested and it probably isn’t a very good game.

Most people recommend playing Minecraft with like 50 mods, but at least Minecraft is a good fully playable game in vanilla mode…

Sim City for GameBoy. If you’re thinking, “how the heck would you play Sim City on a GameBoy?” Exactly, don’t do it. Young me wanted to like it, but just spare yourself…

It will be ignored by industry, just like all the rest of the suggestions for the last 30 years from scientists. Profits come first, worry about the environment later (never).

Read my edit, I found it!!! :D

Not that one I don’t think. The text was all in English.

What a complete knob. That’s like saying you didn’t know Michael Jackson was a pop star, or that the Pyramids were tombs for kings, pathetic.

Check my reply a few messages down, those are all the details I can remember about it. I am also pretty sure it was a Gameboy Color game, not advance or OG GameBoy, but I’m not 100% certain.

Right on! I’ll give it a go lol.

1. Mental Omega, a total conversion mod for Red Alert 2, Yuri’s Revenge.

2. Age of Empires 2.

It’s a moving target. For me, I would say anything older than about 15-20 years is “retro” and anything older than 30 years is “vintage.”

1. Interestingly, my spouse found out that the lead vocalist now works as a graphic artist and has done work for some huge groups like Twenty One Pilots and Underoath. I found his webpage and have thought about sending him a message, but I haven’t ever done it, nervous I guess lol. Your prompt might give me the needed “oomph” to actually go through with it tho lol.

2. It’s tough because I barely remember anything specific from it. To make it worse, the game had a saved profile when I got it, (it was second hand.) I only ever played that save file which was already at endgame content, so I don’t even remember what the intro/early game was like. Here’s all I can remember:

The color pallet was pretty bland. It had lots of random encounters and when they happened, there was a quick sequence where the edges of the screen spiraled inwards in a kind of striped, spiral pattern. There were lots of odd creatures, like these kind of rock worms/snakes if I remember correctly? You had a party of 3-4 people and lots of different spells/abilities. I remember I got lost for a long time wandering through some ice caves and kept having to fight random monsters every 10-20 seconds. I can’t really remember the story or lore even. But I’m pretty confident I’d know the music/sounds if I heard them.

I’ll check that out and let you know!

My spouse and I had a very long layover between red eye flights and decided to get a ride to a nearby motel to catch a few hours of sleep before going back to the airport early in the morning to catch our next flight. This was in a southern state in the US.

It turned out to be a super sketchy motel and it was really late at night when we got there. We could tell it was in a rough part of the city, driving past houses on the street all had bars over the windows and doors, lots of trash blowing across the street, stuff like that.

We go inside to sign in and get our room and the clerk mumbles something we can’t understand and asks us to wait for a few minutes. Then while we’re sitting in the lobby, a huge pickup truck pulls up outside with a white guy driving it. Two Hispanic guys get out of the cab, an older man and a boy. They walk in and start talking quietly with the clerk. They both seemed really nervous and kept glancing nervously at the pickup running outside. After a few minutes the clerk led them both away somewhere and then the truck drove away and the clerk called us up and signed us in.

I think it might have been some kind of human trafficking/smuggling thing, but idk. It just was so weird, everybody involved was acting really nervous and on edge. I hope both of them are alright, we obviously never saw them again or even saw where they got led off to.
