I used to get mushroom tootsie rolls from a friend of mine. They’re kinda fun. I’ve only taken them like 3 or 4 times though, and it’s been a couple years since.
Like you said it’s not really addictive unless you want it to be. Tbh I think the reason I don’t find it addictive at all is that one time I just had a negative trip. Like it wasn’t really bad, but it just didn’t feel right.
Just saw some comments on the xEdit Discord this morning from ElminsterAU, the primary dev for the project. He’s been backwards-engineering Starfield since it came out, tweaking his project to make it work for Starfield. This is important because, as soon as he does, (safe) plugin-based mods become possible, opening up the...
I’d honestly be willing to bet that it’s some kind of legal thing.
Slightly relevant story: there’s a hat company that I really like that make funky designs each week, so I emailed them with a couple ideas for a theme. Their reply was an immediate no, but with the explanation that if they were to actually take the idea and run with it, then it could open the possibility of getting sued over IP.

But like, why does it fucking matter? If I were a player, I’d still rock the pride jersey and tape in the face of the ban. “oH yOu NeEd To RePrEsEnT tHe CoMpAnY!”
Fuck you and your hateful bullshit. I’ll show my support even though you won’t.
This is hilarious to me for some reason. Like, goddamn Whoopi Goldberg loves Diablo so much (and on a Mac no less) that she went and called them out on a public tiktok?
I haven’t seen anyone mention Kenshi, so I guess I will.
Kenshi is a post-apocalyptic, RPG, RTS, city-builder hybrid. You can play as one individual character, or you can build up a squad to roam an entire continent full of towns, people, and everything else that wants nothing more than to push your face into the dirt and watch you squirm. It’s an intensely brutal game, but one with an aesthetic that I can’t get enough of.
There are different races of playable characters (from humans, to hivers, to shek, and skeletons) all with their own different stat bonuses and handicaps. If you lose a limb, you can either find someone who sells prosthetics or just leave that character crippled for the rest of the game.
There’s kind of a story, but the game is mostly just you existing in this world and learning about it. There are plenty of different factions you can join or help out, and there will be consequences for choosing a side.
It’s also incredibly moddable, with the steam workshop having thousands of mods already.

This time around, stealth is “locked” behind the Stealth skill. You can still sneak around without it, but it’s basically like having your sneak at 1 in Elder Scrolls. People will notice you immediately, and you won’t have a “hidden/detected” indicator unless you invest in the skill at all.

I think part of it has something to do with the popularity of superhero movies like Batman and such. Honestly I think having the world’s biggest movie production system has been a net negative for Americans and humanity as a whole.
I remember reading somewhere that the “Old West” actually had pretty strict gun control.
Iirc, the usual practice was to turn in your guns to the sheriff as soon as you got to town. You had to have a license or some official form stating you had the right to carry your gun with you, but it was still limited to basically just LEOs.
Same. Like the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts Legacy. I loved having the option to customize it how I wanted, and it gets fucking HUGE, but they give you all sorts of different decorative pieces, about a third of which are wall-hangings of some kind.
I’m still only on my first run, but I swear I’ve found temples by just randomly scanning planets. That’s actually been my main motivation for just jumping from system to system.
I mean, like incompetent. For the record those organs I just stole? literally on the desk in front of him. Time to hike on over and sell it. To the Trade Authority… all 20 feet away…...

Hair-based dress code rules are always bullshit. I used to go to a school that required boys’ hair to be above the ears, as well. I always thought it was stupid, so did my mom, so she let me grow my hair out and the worst they did was tell me I need to get a haircut.
Starfields is one of the biggest games of 2023 – but it’s joined other recent games like Baldurs Gate 3 in being boycotted by conservatives because of the way it interacts with gender.

Cow hoof shaving/popping. There are a few channels, but my favorite is “Nate the Hoof Guy,” he’s from Wisconsin and he just travels around to different games as a cow vet and helps trim their hooves. Sometimes it can get disgusting, but it’s also fascinating to watch, and he’s really gentle and loving with all the animals.
