You can also wet it for use in hand-to-hand combat, wrap it around your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal, and also wave it as a distress signal.

Making images worse is not a "good use of technology".

Use Bernie, not this fuckface.

Why did you regenerate an images of already existing shots from the show? Just wasting energy to make worse copies of things.

Disclaimer: This isn't a defense of the guy. From what I hear, he's been a pos for a long time. He was just able to con voters as an "everyman".

That said, brain damage isn't drinking. It doesn't "reveal" who someone truly is. Damage to the brain can and does change the way it functions at a fundamental level, which can dramatically change how a person behaves and thinks. This isn't to say the actions of brain damaged individuals are entirely excusable - harm is harm and should be addressed. But suggesting it was always what the person was really like is severely misstating what brain damage is.

For those curious, it's called a bindle.

There's that, but there's also the realization that, if there's no externally mandated "purpose", then it is up to each of is to determine our own purpose. For some that brings a powerful sense of freedom, but for others, that demands a terrifying level of responsibility. For them it's more comforting to live within that bubble.

First Friday of the month, but not every month. They announce the next ones a few months in advance.

Feels like a good spot to recommend Bandcamp Fridays. On the first Fridays of some months, the site gives all proceeds to the artists for any purchases made that day. And ~~tomorrow's~~today's their next one.

Look, I agree with the first half, but wtf is the point of speculating if she has down syndrome? It's rude at best, ableist at worst. Don't do that.

A community rule to tag the artist in the title would make it possible to filter by keyword. Seems like a pretty reasonable rule to put in place, imo, if only for attribution purposes even.

"You need to cut the fat so we can buy more companies that we will use as ballast just like you."

Like, I get some companies will feel like they don't have a choice if they want to stay open, but man...it really feels like a terrible idea to sell out to these people. They don't care about anything except their own bottom line, and every asset they pick up will be used and discarded with that in mind.

 

I downvoted maybe 3 posts for being "unwise", but I guess that's not allowed. Looked up the mod and they banned a wave of people, all for "...". Good stuff.

This "banned for using the functions of the website" shit is really getting out of hand. Unless it's unequivocal support for every post, you're out. It's ridiculous out here.

Also! We still can't block communities we've been banned from? Wtf?

 

*I suppose foraging would be another way, but it's so minuscule that I hesitate to make it its own category.

I personally don't hate the fishing mini-game, so I think that could be fun. I think farming has the bigger potential, though, so if I was wanting to make a lot of money, I'd probably pick farming.

 

I don't have many bombshells myself, unfortunately. Mostly just oldies and things I've been waiting on.

Hollow Knight is good for any price, but for $7.50 is a steal. Absolutely stellar game.

Another Crab's Treasure is an...interesting one. I haven't finished it, but it had fairly good combat, imo, and a very different atmosphere to the grimdark horrors we usually find in souls-likes. I do recall the leveling felt a bit lackluster, but maybe that was just me.

Nine Souls and TUNIC are two I've been considering for a little while now. I think I'll nab Tunic and wait on Nine Souls a little longer, personally. Death's Door also caught my eye at $5. Might be a good snag.

How about y'all? Any must haves with good deals this sale?
