I have noticed that I get less motion sick in some games on my new 240hz screen, but unfortunately I still get it.

That said, I’m unsure what my actual fps is in Doom/E but I’d wager somewhere around 100.

Checking FOV and disabling motion blur, chromatic abberation, and DoF are my first things before I even start a new game.

I just assume it’s because I’m getting older, and I’m not sitting in a proper chair most of the time.

Okay I have a confession to make…

I haven’t finished a Doom since Doom 3 (2004).

I have loved every minute of Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal, but I haven’t finished either of them.

I get too motion sick to play video games like that anymore.

Even Titanfall I have to take a break between levels.

I’ll finish them someday, I promise…

Prey was the first game in a long time to make me stop and go “what the fuuuuuuuck?” in a long time.

It’s a good feeling.

I’d absolutely love to know where the team expected to take the story after the ending(s) if they made a direct sequel.

More like Prey, for sure.

Circadian? Is that like a clown circus act?

My wife works nights and is mostly alone all night, so I try to stay up late so she has someone to talk to. Unfortunately I also have a shifting schedule that changes every week, so I can’t ever get into a sleeping pattern.

Without fail and regardless of what time I went to sleep, every day between 630-7am I wake up. And if I’ve had more than 4 hours of total sleep, there’s 0 chance of me going back to sleep no matter how tired I feel.

My body is a MACHINE. It’s BREAKING DOWN and things FALL OUT of it sometimes.

In one work report, I recorded the date as “1/13/25”, “13/1/25” and “13JAN2025”

I have my preference, but please for the love of all that is fluffy in the universe, just stick to one format…

Okay here’s the plan.

I gonna slam the door open, run straight in, and attack with the most basic of attacks I can think of.

It’s foolproof.

I used to hate when this happened to me. Someone reviving a post from ages ago to answer a question that I already found months/years ago.

But hey, it could help someone else in the future if I didn’t go back and post the answer to my own question (spoiler alert: I didn’t) so now I just do what OP does and thank them for their time, move on with my day. Chuckle at the stupidity of my youth.

Some people get angry about things like that. Just be chill, they probably didn’t notice how long ago it was posted.

May I… Stand unshaken…

“…thank you…”

I’m not crying YOU’RE CRYING

There’s also one where the child is intersex and collapses during their basketball game.

My wife isn’t quite nerdy enough to get this yet, and my parents haven’t watched TNG in so long they don’t remember the phrase.

I have nobody who gets this in my life…

It’s a piece of media that’s critical of a fascist regime, and the person who says it’s fake is a .ml

if they ever answer, it’ll be dismissive about how all western media is biased against china/nk/Russia. That’s as close to an explanation of “why it’s fake” as you’ll get.

You should always be critical of any media that doesn’t have a concrete source though. I don’t personally know anything about radiofreeasia, so fuck if I know how reliable they are to begin with.

An important feature that shouldn’t be overlooked.

Having just finished all 3 on my pc…

Dafuq you smokin, Bruh…

I will say though, 1 is the cluniest of them, for sure.

I’ve seen escalator mechanisms fail before, I could believe that’s a dual purpose for it (as well as presumably carts or scooters)

Yeah, fuck me for using a cane, I’m such a big fat fatty and want to be fat.

YOU’RE STEALING OUR TRASH! REEEEEEEEE!

If you clip a healthy plant without asking the owner first, you’re a dick. But if I see you do it at a store, no I didn’t. Cause the store made $2,550,000 while I was typing this.

Any time my father brings up stuff like this, I remind him that he and his brothers drove their car onto a frozen lake and almost broke through the ice, and more than once they bought tennis balls, soaked them in gasoline, and threw them at each other with welding gloves.

I know for a fact that he and his brothers did tons of dumb shit, and I won’t let him forget it even if he finds it convenient when comparing generations.

My 30 year old grandma car can make it to 40 before I clear the entire intersection most of the time.

10mph is less than the indoor go-kart track barriers near me are rated for.

Security theater at its finest.
