  • I preferred it. Some people are more used to rapid movement types from a controller more than keyboard and mouse. I do use keyboard and mouse for some games, but for ones with this kinda feel in the way camera and moves work, I prefer controller. Monster Hunter is another I prefer controller on, as is FFXIV. Horizon Zero Dawn also.

    Stuff like Mass Effect, Ark, Enshrouded, Deep rock, helldivers, dark tide are all mouse and keyboard.

    People have different preferences and different muscle memory.

    I think I like Hades more on controller too.


  • Which usually includes implied “follow my religious beliefs to be eligible.” A big difference between personal giving and allowing a social safety net is the decision to limit who gets your money. Which I do get; I want my team dollars going to stuff that helps everyone, like welfare, education, transportation, etc, not to military industrial complex or subsidies for already massive and union busting billionaires.

    Still, on the conservative side it tends to aim more towards extremely limited targets, usually filtered through a lens of bigotry.



  • Back when I first ate sushi, my mom always ordered spider rolls. I’d eat them, get an itchy mouth, but assume it was the Wasabi. Then I got braver and ordered other stuff and even with Wasabi, itch gone.

    I already knew I was allergic to shrimp and lobster, but crab had always been fine. Spider crabs and blue crabs are in fact not fine for me. Other shellfish is interesting:

    Can I eat…
    Clams? No.
    Oysters? Yes.
    Mussels? Yes.
    Scallops? Yes.
    Conch? Yes.
    Crabs? Maybe.
    Lobster? No.
    Fish? Yes.
    Shrimp? No.

    So I have a shellfish allergy that doesn’t always trigger. It always triggers with what it does trigger though.


  • I gave a deduced definition, not an endorsement. I will say that I view human rights and human life as more important than private property, but I am in no way encouraging people to harm or steal from someone they just don’t like.

    When someone asked me what I’d do about someone stealing an A/C unit off a house if I didn’t have a gun, my answer was basically “I would not kill someone over an a/c unit.” I stand by that statement.



  • I’m pretty sure it’s more a distinction between people who focus on personal liberties and especially private property vs collectivism and socialism. Basically lots of people aren’t for right wing fascism but still want to own private property, view their personal comforts more important than necessarily the needs of others (NIMBYs I think count here) etc.

    This could be as simple as not liking property damage in protests, still preferring cars and trucks to public transportation, not liking high occupancy buildings in your area etc, at least that’s how I’ve gleaned it as someone who doesn’t use that kinda label myself.

    I could be wrong, but that’s how it feels to me. Closer to centrist or even just original form of libertarian, which some have labeled as being a bit more left wing than US libertarians.

    Not that I’m gonna claim the Bible is consistent, bu5 Ecc 9:5 basically say the dead are aware of nothing. People who believe often argue this one is a metaphor instead of the ones about Eternal punishment.

    I grew up JW myself, but they believe dead is dead, and don’t believe in eternal torment. They do still believe in heaven and in eternal life, to come at a different time, so it’s not like they don’t believe the fantasy stuff as well, they just agree with no eternal torment.



  • I like coffees flavor (not necessarily the bitter part, but it doesn’t bother me much). It’s not really from repeated exposure: caffeine doesn’t quite work right for me, and coffee gives me anxiety and stomach issues, wo I don’t drink it often but do like the flavor. Beer is somewhat opposite: I have drank a lot of alcohol(cutting back much more nowadays) but I still find most beer not tasty… though there was this one coffee beer that was really good.

    My goto is actually unsweetenee Soju, with lime added. It has a very mild flavor and the lime takes away the alcohol aftertaste.

    I used to like sweet stuff but I’ve always drank green tea unsweetened, and for the most part unless it’s honey I don’t like sweeteners in tea. Coffee can go both ways, especially for caramel, and hot chocolate is sweet of course, though I haven’t had any for at least a year.

    Once I gave up soda other things naturally started tasting too sweet for me, and I gave up soda in general 15-20 years ago. I drink it on occasion, but it always leaves a gross sticky syrupy feeling in mouth and throat.



  • Personally I’ve had the same number for years and it’s the one I give out, but as an IT professional I definitely know individual experiences vary. The main issue has been the few texting stuff that doesn’t support it. Like ubereats, which I guess doesn’t matter since I stopped using them a while ago, but there are others.
