I suppose nationalities or cultures would have been better! People are not their nation and culture crosses borders and all that. As for calling Nigeria lesser known, I suppose I mean more the culture and people of Nigeria than the nation itself. Lots of people where I’m at know of Nigeria at least by name, and typically they think of internet scammers. But if I asked random folks where I’m at who Fela Kuti was I’d get lots of no’s back.

Could have worded it as “lesser known cultures” or “cultures not commonly discussed”.

Honestly that’s something I never learned about until I was like, 23, 24. Still know bugger all about it and that’s fucked. Do you know any good resources where I can learn about this stuff?

If you’re wanting a good controller, 8BitDo has a fantastic Bluetooth controller styled after the SNES controller (with extra shoulder buttons and joysticks!), the SN30 Pro. If you want it wired, I think they have a wired version, but otherwise you can get a USB-C cable and plug it into your phone that way. Easily replaced if the cable breaks, anyhow.

I want what you’re having mate, might make sleeping off this awful fever better.

Honestly though I’m here for this level of personification. When something is very important to someone it often takes on a perceived personality which is just super fun for jokes and banter with them.

Loading zones are regions in a game space where you have to sit through a loading screen. People call Starfield a loading zone simulator because of the lengthy amounts of time spent just loading and not playing the game.

Where I work we often see tricolored bats. They’re just the cutest lil’ nuggets, killing off the local mosquitos. You go, wee nugget of the sky.

Ey, I guess it’s a breath of fresh air compared to mostly seeing support posts here.

The datedness adds to the experience honestly. I can’t play with any mods that are too detailed, nor can I use any mods that add super high res textures. It’s like the graphical uncanny valley for me.

FUCK

IT WASN’T.

I didn’t realize the cracked corn potential of my joke!

No, it’s corny! She’s always cracking puns and one liners, that Cathy.

The sequel to Sharkboy and Lavagirl we didn’t need.

Ja

Edit: fuck my original comment was meant for a different post lol

Aw man, I’ve honestly forgotten how much I’d enjoyed KenM from the other realm.

Any time, SharkFucker420!

It’d probably depend on the game, but see if there’s any source ports for the games in question. DSDA Doom, for example, adds modern wide-screen support to classic Doom and has heaps of fantastic options for different compatibility levels for different custom map sets. GZDoom is also an option if you want gameplay mods (shame it’s so inefficient lol).

You can also see if there’s any wide-screen patches for your games on the PC gaming wiki.

Never tried myself, but I’ve two sets of pals that are in poly relationships. The best advice they gave my curious mind on the topic is “If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a hell no.” I’m still curious about trying some time, but it’s certainly not a “hell yes” for me.

I will say on the picky eating habit, that can be a common behavior seen in autistic folks. With me my picky eating stems from texture - if a food feels weird in my mouth I get nasty gag reflex or vomit. Doesn’t matter how often I try, there’s foods and ingredients that, if I chew on it, I will vomit. It fucking sucks. I have to swallow my edibles whole with water cause most gummies make me vomit if I chew them.

Obviously not all picky eating habits are autism related, but myself and the other autistic picky eaters I know are just as frustrated, if not more, about having those habits.

Being stuck on music though, that I can understand. Even with me having my comfort zones, it’s always an occasion worth celebrating when I find an artist or album that absolutely SLAPS me silly from how rad it is.

I ain’t gonna call them mediocre myself, and The Wall means a lot to me personally with my own life journey, but there’s absolutely better, more musically interesting prog rock groups out there than Pink Floyd.

Doom 2016 was made by id Software, owned by Bethesda.

The modern political climate in my country is bad enough to make me suicidal, so I avoid as much of it as I can.
