Folks, I love me some video games, but as I get older I get pickier and pickier about the experience. Nowadays I need it both be my genre and be good quality. So when a game like Pokopia comes out that's a mine craft style city builder just like Dragon Quest Builders 2, and it gets really good reviews despite being a Pokemon game, well I just can't stop thinking about it.

My main issue is that I don't have a Switch 2, and holy shit I am not made of money so I'm probably never going to get one when the steam machine will offer a similar device with access to a full steam library. Pretty mad that my dusty old Switch can't play this thing even though it can handle DQB2 somewhat decently... ok fine it overheats and slows down as your builds get more advanced after the story ending but still. Pokopia even has a limited game share option with the original switch! There's no way Pokopia wouldn't be able to play on this thing considering how detailed DQB2 was and how much room they gave you to build. I put hundreds of hours into that absolute delight of a game that makes the big bold creative choice of never letting you skip the 50 hour story, so I would know.

So I'm just wondering what the best way to emulate Switch 2 games would be: Either a PC program or jail breaking one of my old Switches into playing Switch 2 games, if that's even possible. I used to pirate games like crazy, but I'm getting older and am a bit rusty nowadays. How would one go about it?

Looks like this wild story got buried during all the Epstein news, because it's the first I'm hearing of it. I'm sure it's not a coincidence that it makes Xi look good.

After a working class revolution here in the USA, it will be absolutely necessary to investigate every single mansion and to double-check every child living in them for signs of abuse.

About 2 weeks ago there was a disturbing post on the gaming comm: "Forgive me for I have reinstalled Overwatch". Now, while the poster only said an additional "I'm sorry." (I forgive you), several commenters had the absolute audacity to post things like the cool new jetpack cat character, "at least it's not League", and "Overwatch is a softcore pornography game". I shudder just remembering the excuses.

Well, it worked, because I'm ashamed to admit that I relapsed and got into Overwatch again. I... I knew the deal was sealed the moment I could link my old account and get all my old skins back from a decade ago. Not only that, but I tried playing with a controller, and it was awkward, but as soon as I switched to keyboard something snapped and my muscle memory came flooding back. I was playing like I never left. The old Symmetra and Torb might be gone, but damn can you still troll the shit out of people on casual play with DVA and Moira. And there are so many new characters to learn.

I had perfectly good games purchased from steam recently that are now collecting virtual dust. Sonic Racing? I played two cups with NPCs before leaving. Ball x Pit? Loved it, but I'm never going to 100% it now. 150+ hour addiction to Megabonk? I can't even remember the old metas, much less whatever the new abomination strat is. I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't even remember Noelle's little pixelated face. (I will take responsibility for one personal failing: buying when I could have pirated, but that's an entirely different addiction, let's stay focused here people.)

I even bought a bundle of Sherlock Holmes games this year to try and get my brain to work properly again after severe work related burnout. Now my job can expect mediocre work for the same stagnant mediocre pay several dollars above state minimum wage that I've received for the last several years. Does my smol bean mega corporation deserve such a cruel long term punishment for one wittle project mismanagement that lead to multiple people quitting and being fired while upper management ended up mostly unscathed? I think deep down you know the answer.

And most lately, I've committed basically the same unforgivable sin as Eve did: I lead my they/them Adam equivalent partner to play Overwatch. "Yes honey, you can still be a Reaper main and spew edgelord character lines. It's perfectly normal." Never mind all the billionaire pedo stuff happening right now, I'M THE ONE NORMALIZING HELL. Lord, have Mercy on us... fuck SHIT not that Mercy, just regular mercy. Now we do quick play matches together, and I can't even complain about DPS not doing enough damage anymore. S-sometimes I even... leave my tank and support responsibilities and join the DPS. How do I fucking live with myself now??

Pray for us not to fall even further and start playing competitive, or we'll truly be past the point of no return. Overwatch: Not even once.

But why haven't chuds noticed chickpeas yet and accused chickpeas of turning guys into femboys?

I mean CHICKpea? Chickpea...nis? It's basically a freebie. Get new content losers, soy is so 2022.

I'm sure there's a few of them out there, considering how much money is being spent, but I'm mostly interested in the idea that the ballroom is actually just a lid for a massive multi-layer basement data center for the president to do fucked up classified things with. I got it from a conspiracy theory youtuber that recently had a one hit wonder and I was curious if this was a silly niche conspiracy theory or if I've just been living under a rock and

Yeah, I'm American and yeah, I made myself mad and looked this up as a reminder. I guess I just didn't feel like having a good day today.

And yep, I have a job that gives us zero paid time off and literally won't ever give it to us unless the government forces them to.

What's that? A recession is inevitable so I need to hug onto my job like my survival depends on it? Well shucks, I guess I'll just cope and seethe until I die, especially considering that contractors rarely can ever unionize.

Some people can’t fall asleep at night because of anxiety or guilt. Me? I’ve got real important philosophical questions that maybe you can help me out with:

Let’s say, theoretically, that I visited Margaret Thatcher’s grave. And let’s say, very theoretically, that I tried waiting until everyone left but people kept coming in. Absolutely so privacy smh.

Now obviously I’m just there to make sure she rests in piss. But you see, I’m a bit of a shy pisser and the crowds are theoretically preventing me from unzipping and doing my thing. What I wanna know is, would it still be based if I pissed my pants while standing on top of Margaret Thatcher’s grave and a little of it dribbled down my legs and eventually touched the gravestone, or would it still be cringe to piss myself in public on purpose?

“Surely there are more options than exposing yourself and pissing yourself.” You immediately think. Ok, sure, let me add a few rules since there’s no way this theoretical yellow shower would be the first to water Thatcher’s grave flowers. Let’s assume there’s at least one plainclothes guard hiding in the crowd, a no eating or drinking rule (so good luck sneaking in a “lemonade” and pouring one out for respect), and that there’s at least one security camera recording the gravesite. Hear me out: If you piss yourself you could claim afterwards you were having a medical episode and possibly get away with it even if they identify you. Just don’t pisspog.

So the questions are:

• Is pissing yourself on purpose in order to piss on Margaret Thatcher’s grave based?

• If you were trying to get away with it, what’s a more effective way to do it? Consider the conditions listed above.

• Am I a cowardly liberal for trying to get away with it and not just being a chad about it?

I want your essays turned in by the end of the day.

I see a lot of people at least joking about going vegan lately. I've been vegan for roughly.... ah, I want to say 4 years now? I lost track awhile ago. It was around the time the wreckers came to Hexbear and convinced a bunch of us to watch Dominion (highly recommend doing so btw, it's free online).

ANYWAYS, if you're interested in more than just shitposts and are seriously interested in veganism I was thinking I could help answer any questions you have. Comment here or send me a DM if you're blush shy. This comm has limits on what we can talk about btw, such as diet. And I think the whole website has restrictions on recommending specific brands of food? So DM for questions like that, thanks.

Like the title says. I just heard about it a few days ago from YouTube. It sounds really cute and gay, but I was wondering if it's just nostalgia bait or if they're actually achieving some sort of community over there. Also, whether there are a lot of leftists there or if they tend to get pushed out. Is it still up and thriving or did it peak a couple of years ago?

And uuuuh... if you made a cute lil website of your own, can I see?

I just finished 3 very expensive psychologist evaluations yesterday (it cost me as much as my rent split even after insurance) and it turns out my childhood diagnosis was correct: I've got a big ol case of Autism!

No more imposter syndrome baby! It's cheered me up quite a bit. I might even get to WFH full time if my workplace accommodations are approved. But uh... you remember what else happened in the last couple of days?

MMMMMMMMMMMMM Yeah, I can't remember either.

ANYWAYS, hope I don't look sus as fuck at work this week by being a lil upbeat while the country rapidly deteriorates in real time.

Chat, can I get a "certified pogchamp" in the comments pls?

Dumb story time from web fishing:

I join a server room titled as a women's zone

Convo is lighthearted talk about furries and how cringe is good and fun.

A man joins the conversation.

Convo turns to older gacha games.

Guy casually mentions he has spent 24k on gacha games.

He immediately gets dunked on.

I say he sounds like a spoiled cybertruck owner.

Dude gets mad not at the cybertruck comment, but at being called spoiled.

Says I don't know any better because he calls his work a career while I call mine a job.

He openly admits without anyone nudging him on that he's a 26 year old veteran that got free college and now gets paid 300k a year to program... if he's to be believed.

We start calling him a war criminal.

Guy thinks he can own me by buying games for the chat. I tell him I don't need his blood money.

Some gal gets like a $60 game for free and he tells me how owned and mad I am.

I tell him I would feel sorry for him being this lonely if he wasn't a war criminal.

Guy starts misgendering everyone that called him a war criminal.

He immediately gets kicked and everyone is relieved.

I get to stay and naturally the convo becomes a lot more relaxed and gay.

I'm seriously thinking about skipping health insurance another year to help with saving. Do you think that will be more expensive in the long run? I don't have any major health problems, but I also haven't visited a general practitioner in like a decade so there could be something hiding. Every decision is such a huge gamble in this fucking country. I hate it here but my job and degree aren't in demand internationally, and I'm not willing to marry an internet stranger overseas (I'm already taken anyways) so if I can't leave the country I can at least move to a state that chuds aren't swarming to with each passing year.

(This isn't because Harris lost, I'm not a fucking lib. It's because the abortion amendment failed despite 57% approval. I'm just an object here. I've actually been planning it out for a couple of years now, but this was the final straw.)
