I think the commander dude gives you hints if you keep losing a particular fight though. He’ll get explicit about the trick for Psycho Mantis!

I played MGS for the first time recently, and it felt like a PS2 game with older graphics. Would’ve blown my mind as a kid if I had it back then…with a guide, too. Otherwise, I never would’ve figured a bunch of that stuff out, haha

I get where you’re coming from, but the X in Xmas means “cross”, as in the cross that Jesus died on.

I don’t celebrate the Christ part of Christmas, so I’m not trying to make it about that. Just sharing this bit of knowledge (that I could very well be mistaken about! Haha)

I have an Excel file for recurring expenses with dates of recurrence and auto-calculated yearly and monthly totals, and these factor into my monthly/yearly “budgets”. And thus, into how much I need to maintain my emergency fund!

I’m actually starting to wonder if they’ve got a bot going on their account now. It just seems to be giving generic “angry internet replies” to every comment that replies to it, now

I’m sorry that this is how you’re choosing to spend your Christmas. Or your Boxing Day as the case may be.

If you don’t celebrate those, I’m still sorry that you’re choosing to spend your time this way.

That’s a good idea! I do things differently (basically adding money to different “pools” to use for different categories), but if I need to forecast how much I’m going to spend on things, this would really help.

I tend to assume that something I buy will last forever (unless it’s explicitly replaceable)…but that’s basically never the case these days.

You don’t need to know cultural trivia to become a citizen. Especially not all of it. But when a person is living somewhere (which you don’t need to be a citizen to do), that person tends to be exposed to the culture.

As well, this could just be someone familiar with the culture who missed a pun because they’re thinking about work.

I’m not sure what caused you to get so worked up about this. The joke is perfectly reasonable to make, and there’s the chance that the Dasher learned a bit of cultural trivia thanks to this joke. Or they learned that they missed a pun and may get to have a laugh about it in hindsight. There’s no harm or foul here.

Yeah, I just meant the recipient was making a cultural reference. The comment that I replied to complained about a white person making a comment specific to their own culture. Ironically, the person who wrote that comment was arguably being more culturally insensitive by assuming that the DoorDasher wouldn’t understand a cultural reference

They’re making a cultural reference to (most likely) the culture of the place they’re both living in. It’s fair game.

If Rollercoaster Tycoon was more of a tycoon/business game…

I try to play it on occasion out of nostalgia, but it has so much jank! Haha

To be fair, you occasionally need to “hack” Linux a bit to get modern stuff working, too

I played it for the first time a few years ago and had a blast. But I’m also not big on modern FPSs. I just liked the simplicity of Doom

Their hardware is too expensive even with this subsidizing it

The commenter you replied to seems to be suggesting that the spying still happens

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good

Ah, yeah, that makes sense. Especially when Nintendo seems to be creating scarcity by doing limited releases and such.

Thank you for explaining it! Even OP didn’t want to type it out, lol

In addition to what others have said, I can read much faster than most people can speak. And I can’t really skim a video that’s a monologue the way I could skim a post.

Especially when it’s a video that has a point advertised in the post title.

I unsubbed from the Videos community for a reason! Haha

Why is it? It’s a video instead of text, and the video doesn’t even have subtitles

Damn. One month, you find out you have cancer. Next month, you’re dead.
