There are humans that are named after other animals (Bear Grylls, Tony Hawk, Michael J Fox). We absolutely could have called it Boaty McBoatface.

It’s mostly my penchant for longer passwords in general. I did not plan to swap up strategies for my personal PC login account. Seeing microsoft demand a shorter password than I use almost everywhere else was… not promising.

Basically. It’s essentially a full-on sentence and last time I looked, Microsoft allowed about half the character length.

I use that command partially because Microsoft accounts don’t allow passwords as long as the password I like to use for my PC

uhhh, you also don’t own Greenland

Oh wow I rarely find people who know about When They Cry. Now I’m interested in seeing more about the game.

How secret of it. Surely this is a distraction, right?

It already has. I have gotten more spam calls in 2025 than I’ve gotten in the 5 or 10-ish years prior to that.

Based on play and replay, it seems to be either Payday 2 or Borderlands 2.

Payday2, especially if you have tons of builds and DLC, is a fantastic brain-off mob shooter where you can slightly improve/perfect your build and gameplay with each run. For some reason it just works for me.

Borderlands 2: fun guns; solid story; visuals and mechanics that mostly hold up today. It’s just a good time and another skill-tree builder game where you get to feel like a god if you’ve assembled your skill tree right. The NG+ modes are a bit of a slog, but playthrough 1 is just a solid time.

Terrible idea. Every time I look at toggling it on just to test, it explicitly lists features that I use as ones which will be disabled by the switch.

Honestly I don’t hate it if the ads are tailored enough. I don’t ever directly click ads, but I have seen products before that wormed into my mind and had me looking for similar/the same later. I don’t hate advertisements for legit products that actually fit my interest. I only hate ads because of how many of them are in my face and trying to convince me I need something that I don’t.

And what about plastic bottles. Like, not the packaging type but just plastic reusable waterbottles?

They’re either beating it back or delaying it. I hope it’s the former, but I fear it’s the latter.

There is plenty of room for nuance, there’s just no nuance to be had.

Aw. I get why this happens to games, but it’s still sad to see.

I’m guessing it’s a split between considering the govt an enemy but not the people, along with people who think it’s nearing-but-not-quite an enemy.

Unfortunately, the military technically answers to the president.

Oh boy, I’m sure that’ll help with the extreme rise in right-wing ideology and leadership worldwide.

I don’t even mind the 1 ignored message. At least it gives me slight context that people are replying to something. I hate that it gives me the little “new messages” indicator on chats when it’s only users I have ignored.

Helldivers 2? They no longer require a PSN account. Anyone without such an account can still play with the network is down, because the protests against a required account were large enough.
