Speak for yourself, sure I'm not alone in this but I can't stand pyjamas. Often they have buttons which are uncomfortable (for front sleepers, which try as I might, I often find myself waking up from this position), and they seem to get all twisted round my nutsack and bunched up in my butt. Not to mention, too hot!

I like being a birthday suit ice popsicle when sleeping, otherwise I wake up in a pool of sweat and have bad dreams. I'm sure I read a study recently that found optimum temp for a good nights sleep isn't a hot or even warm temp.

I find talented / strong women to be hot as hell, is that sexist? I'd happily date a woman who can bench me.

That's very disappointing to hear. I've upgraded to the latest Fdroid version, and I guess that is where the updates will end!

According to the holographic principle, our entire 3d universe is a projection of a 4d space, so really the traffic is more realistic than other games!

I'm happy with my version of simple messenger, I've not updated it for a while... Am I good to keep using that? Can you explain more what you mean by selling out?

Shreks all day, baby. Why the heck would I want to be a stinky vegetable that makes people cry, when I could instead be a stinky ogre who makes people cry?!

Get oot 'o ma swamp.

Fwiw I wasn't wondering, I have an official diagnosis. It was pretty funny (at least I thought so)

Psychiatrist: "Ok, you've scored really highly on the test I've given you"

Me: "Oh, awesome!"

Psychiatrist: "No, not awesome, it means you're autistic"

I really like this suggested reading order, 8ve recommended it quite a few times: https://www.discworldemporium.com/reading-order/

I'm a little envious of you, getting to experience all these lovely books for the first time! Terry Pratchett has such a brilliant style of writing. He manages to lampoon everyday life annoyances and foibles, into a bizarre setting but it still seeks to be perfectly relatable.

Also in reply to your other comment... You're doing a brilliant job here! The vibe is perfect 😁👏

Yeah for $17 it'd be an absolute steal, assuming it's playable. Iirc it didn't crash once for me, just there were sooooo many ridiculous graphical bugs, and so many systems just felt half-arsed or unfinished. Some notable examples for me:

  • looking out over the city from a high point, zooming in on the traffic and finding out they're sprites

  • no real police / law system, you could have your back to a wall and they'd somehow teleport behind you

  • on my first cyberpsycho case, as the "Thanks for work, I'll take it from here" call didn't trigger until leaving the area, I was unsure of what to do with the knocked-out psycho, so I carried them to the trunk of my car. Well, the game did not account for my idiocy and there were, let's just say, interesting spaghettification results when I drove away

  • the autodrive when calling your car often had hilarious or strange results

Exactly, the reason for my concern over mandatory voting. Also it has 'tory' in the word and who knows, it might Derren Brown some people into voting for them!

Ah this is sweet to hear. I had a really bad, unintended interaction with a mod on another group recently and it's made me really nervous about making silly offhand comments, so it's good to know we can be silly here as long as we try to keep it light and polite :) one of the things I used to love about reddit, and love about lemmy is that I get to chat to people from all over the world. Like you say it's a good opportunity to expand our worldview.

Thanks for the informative reply! I am definitely going to update at some point. I tend to only play one game at a time, not sure if it's an autism thing but I get very much into one game, play it to completion, do all the side quests if I really like it, then move onto the next... don't replay games very often.

I got the absolute worst ending possible on my CP2077 runthrough, I have a save from just before the point-of-no-return and was mopping up all the side activities with the intent of trying to get a better ending. Perhaps I should start a new game from scratch to really appreciate all the additions. Though, I wager I'll be installing the car handling / HUD element and minimap resizing mods immediately, unless they've fixed those issues?
