I recently replayed Metal Gear Rising, and when Armstrong kept talking about how much of a pussy America has become and started yelling that with him at the helm, he'd MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, I was fucking shocked.

Granted, I know that term was an old Reagan term, but fuck, with Metal Gear Solid 2 (2001) being all about the internet flooding with misinformation and AI making it so that you don't truly know who you're talking with... And with Rising (2013) being about a dude thinking America is too woke and wanting to make it great again... AND WITH DEATH STRANDING (2019) being all about everyone being locked inside their homes, isolated with little physical connection to their friends and families, only waiting for the mailman to arrive with packages...

Whew, if I had to point out a person I suspect may have a functioning time machine, Kojima might be it..

NT here. Usually, it's more or less whatever.

What has been going on lately, are you working on something specific? What're your hobbies like, etc.

It depends on familiarity with that person, and it depends on what I think that person would be into. I'd love to grok out over games I've played recently, but not everyone is into that, so I assess the situation first. My wife is also NT and she's mostly the same. She wants to grok out over all her pencils, markers, paints and other art stuff.

I usually keep the grokking out to my youtube channel :P

I guess you could classify these things as "small talk", but I like knowing what my friends are doing and what's going on in their lives.

I saw someone else mention they talk mostly about other people, but I don't necessarily do that too much. At least not in the gossipy way.

If you have any more questions, hit me up :)

Completely agree! It makes for a game that's still super healthy to this day, and I love that

Paraphrasing from Frost here; It's the "stop killing games" movement, Yves. It's not the "stop games from dying"-movement.

It's fine if you no longer want to support a game, but you can still make it available offline if you have a lan. Trackmania is a good example, since ubi now owns that. The original is still being played in lans the world over!

So yeah, fuck you, Ubi. It's a choice to be like this.

This is damn clever!

Hmm. You just had me thinking if that's true or not. I think money is an interesting thing. Inherently, it has no value, it's not rare, it's not useful. It is only useful because we as a society believe that it now has value. But that's more of a "we all decided that money is now worth something." Like.. a question of definition.

Another is safety. A society that believes they're safe will probably have a lot less tension and infighting than a society that believes they're unsafe.

On the other hand, you might erroneously believe that a bike helmet makes you much safer in traffic, to the point where you may ride more recklessly than otherwise and therefore be less safe than if you hadn't worn a helmet...

Had to double check when I read this. Zoomed in super close, and the second to last panel actually has a veeery faint outline of a new path

Yo, just wanna say, I think you guys are fucking cool! Keep up bettering yourselves! You can do it!

Not to get into it, but I think "Womp Womp" is supposed to be a sound effect conveying that something bad has happened. You might be mistaking it with "Woop woop" which is celebratory.

In the case of "womp womp" though, lots of people are using it sarcastically. Kind of like a "boo hoo, too bad, so sad"-kinda way.. so... While not necessarily celebrating, I don't think they're too upset either.

Is that fuckin' Tetris sphere from the N64?! That's sick regardless

For once, I actually managed to understand one. I'm terrible at these normally. Like yesterday's with "Farmer's Tan" and whatever? Couldn't do it. Today, I felt smart :P
