Lords of the Fallen allows you to repeat boss fights at any time from the vestige menu.

Even just reaching out to touch it while I am wet will make the phone wet. It doesn't even have to come in with me.

I need my ass used like a stress ball by someone who is extremely stressed out.

Growl and bark instead.

The big one for me was Ultima Online.

"Whoa... Deja vu."

"What?"

"Nothing, just some deja vu."

"Stop. What did you see?"

"I was scrolling Lemmy and I saw a meme, but then further down I saw the same meme again."

"Are you sure it was the same meme?"

"Uh... Pretty sure?"

Depending how far back I am going, my smartphone would be sufficient. Even without any kind of connection, it can do some rad stuff that would blow the minds of anyone in the 90's or earlier.

"He thinks losing is winning. We trained him wrong, as a joke."

This fox is the fucking reason.

I believe it's called Outside.

I like how the comments just assume you're scrolling SM or texting people in the shower but I think it would be rad to not be worried about getting my phone wet so I could use it to listen to music in there. The only other option is to turn voice commands on and start shouting at it over the sound of the shower.

Or even, like, using the thing outside in the rain.

You're a freakin' wizard. Just magic away our problems, bro! 😩

I was about to say JD Vance might but then I remembered you said "no one in their right mind" would say it.

Just about everything matters for a sandwich. I mean, I could get by with a slice of bologna and some super cheap plastic squares that masquerade as cheese and that's... Fine.

But I would rather have some kind of toasted Italian herb and pamesean sub roll with good lettuce (green leaf, not iceberg), real cheese, fresh veggies, a solid finishing oil, condiments, salt, pepper... I don't even need meat on a sandwich at that point.

That mouse has a long snoot.

It's just semantics in this case. Catloaf's argument is entirely centered around the definition of the word "lie," and while I agree with that, most people will understand the intent behind the usage in the context it is being used in. AI does not tell the truth. AI is not necessarily accurate. AI "lies."

I should be able to host my own WoW server on my LAN, play CoD split-screen on my TV, or run my own Battlefield tournament on my own LAN.

I agree with this. I also agree a single player only experience has no business requiring an online connection.

I emphatically disagree that is the root of why modern gaming sucks. Especially since we had a long period where we did have the ability to do the afore-quoted stuff.

The number one reason why we no longer can host our own servers for multiplayer games is because if you controlled the servers, you could theoretically also control the extra content that is in the game files, but locked behind paying real dollars for. The server software being included with the game died with lootboxes and the F2P model.

A femboy twink, at that.

I would be the reason the abandoned looking house in town is believed to be haunted. I would sustain myself on curious children and authority figures searching for said children.

"Only photonic reversal? Great. We can take out the evil holograms running amok in holodeck 2 at the same time."
