Like Dayum. The fact so many aren’t “Horny on Main”, but more like “Deviant on Main” is actually kinda alarming; just like the metric Fuck ton of Porn games on Steam which are becoming increasingly difficult to block from showing up in the store when all I want is a damn RPG. 😅😠 lol

I’m just shocked how many tether their credit cards to their Steam accounts. 😳😳
I’m genuinely shocked.
*only uses Credit Card for important purchases and emergencies*
“Yall never heard of Pre-paid Steam codes?” 😅😅😅💀🤷🏽‍♂️
The paper trail people leave is a mile wide. Lmfao 😂

I was just at GameStop (EB Games Canada) and saw a metric Crap ton of them! There is no fear about NOT getting a copy
But the WH40K Horus Heresy figures and the Damn Luxury Ball caught all my attention. Lmfao 🤣

Caffeine, Nicotine, and Spicy Foods can keep you going temporarily for about 24-48hrs in between med pick ups.
But definitely don’t recommend doing that frequently.

My mother has been watching it, and absolutely loves it so far

I get headaches from Aspartame, and I can’t stand the taste of those other synthetic sweeteners..
I legitimately drink Pepsi Throwback (Cane Sugar) or Jarritos. Lmfao (the Fruit Punch is amazing!)

Already had a major panic attack this morning after my PC turned on but the Monitor displayed nothing…..
Only to find out the Display Port Cable is just dead. 😮‍💨
Here I was worried I’d need a new Monitor or I fried out my GPU..
Naw, just a cooked Display Cable. 🤣
Good thing for spares #binofcords

I have Lactose intolerance and IBS, my character would have to find an outhouse so incredibly often. 🤣🤣🤦🏽‍♂️ lmfao
My character would take heavy penalties depending on the food; and my companions would take penalties for having to smell it. 🤣🤣 lmfao

…. That would be an interesting idea for a Creative Game Mode.. when you are in character creator; the game uses your age, height and weight for a Character, and then factor in random character flaws.
Like your knees pop after 35 when you are in stealth. Or have a sneeze fit in a field of Flowers.

I find I have the same issue with Reading in the car; that I do with VR Gaming.
The reading plus movement throws the equilibrium and the inner ear off.
I have to set a Fan up from the South in my gaming space so my brain has some baring of my direction. 😑🤦🏽‍♂️

This.. this is my issue. Reading in the Car or on transit makes me nauseous; I can cheat a bit and glance at the map; so long as the driver isn’t acting like a maniac. I can sometimes game on flights but that depends on speed and how long we are in the air to get climatized..
I also need Airflow.

Oh crap, I think I might have done something foolish. 😅😱💀 lmfao

I think I’m more excited about the Xbox team being let loose on the Windows OS and cutting all the useless features we don’t need on a handheld.
Add in a Steam/Epic Games/GoG tab/tabs and thats the one-stop shop for all gaming.

Daniel Smith @swiftpiranha86.bsky.social · Jun 10

Did you see the announcement for the Xbox/ROG Ally collaboration? The gaming world is starting to heat up again and I’m actually kinda stoked..

Good games, console colabs, and Windows getting gutted for efficiency. 🫶🏼🤘🏼
Lets gooooooooo! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤣 lmfao

Its where I’ve been hiding for the last couple of years. 🤣🤣
The backlog isn’t gonna clear itself!
*does another Fallout 3 Playthough* 🤣🤣🤣🤣

As tempting as it is, (growing out a Bush Beard for this coming winter and Hunting Season) I can’t part with it..
I’ll just trim up the mess around my neck.
That beard-sweat can get nasty.

Also a Prairie Favourite. Pirogies and Fried Bologna 👨🏽‍🍳 👌🏼
I could live on it for months (and I have. 🤣🤣)

You can even swap the Peameal Bacon with Fried Bologna and its still good! Add a couple of Sausages as well and you’ll be tootin’ all day long. Lmfao 🤣

The Album Art and Liner Notes scratch my Music-Tism’; I love reading and seeing the behind the scenes from inside the recording studio and booth.

Daniel Smith @swiftpiranha86.bsky.social · May 3

On Vinyl, because of the side flipping and the strategic breaks in between tracks; while other tracks play seemless gives it the feeling of a Shakespearean play, broken down in to Acts.
Its a totally different feeling and experience

I’m also gonna use one of our Canadian Bands as an example; some Albums also have a totally different feel compared to their CD/Digital Release Counterparts.
For instance, the album “Ever After” by Marianas Trench sounds like a regular album on CD on Digital.

Daniel Smith @swiftpiranha86.bsky.social · May 3

There is a magic, a Peace to it that Digital just doesn’t seem to scratch the itch of.

There is a physicality and motion to it. The act of cleaning the record, placing it on the platter and lowering the needle gently and parking your ass back on the couch with some dimly lit table lamps or candles and just Vibing with the music..
No track skipping; just straight playthroughs.
