Oh man that just reminded me of how when I tried playing skyrim last as a wizard, the thing that made me want to quit was the stupid slow mo that would happen when you “might” get a killing blow with a range attack.
Because sometimes you would get the slow-mo then your attack would miss.
Like WTF is that about.
Bethesda makes some HARD choices about what you must enjoy at all times.
I’ve realized I am really bothered by passive voice in cleaning with people I live with. “I am going to do the dishes tonight” - great “Eric, would you take out the trash tonight please?” - that’s fine! I probably would have taken it out if I had realized it was full. I’m an adult and this is my house, I try to...
Okay but the trouble rose because my sisters took advantage of this system. We would take turns, and my sisters would “empty” the sink when it would only fill the dishwasher up to like half. Then it would flip to my turn. Then shenanigans would happen to make sure on my turns the sink would be extra full. So I would either need to hand wash a ton, or do a second load in the dishwasher, which would give chance for people to put more stuff in the sink.
If the system was “Your turn is up when the dishwasher is full and running” then there is far little room for silliness when it comes to turns.
I use the word pet peeve on purpose, should I care “that much” about it? Especially now as a 29 YO adult that owns his own home? No, clearly not… and yet.
Maybe passive voice is the wrong term, but talking in a passive way about cleaning. Don’t do an open ended complaint without an obvious solution. Either ask me to clean something specific, or say if you intend to clean somethings specific.
OMG my sister would do this on purpose when we were teens. She would put clothes in the washer/dryer, knowing we would “push” them through the system as we did ours. Cause if something is in the washer that is wet when you need to use it, you just move it to the dryer, if something is in the dryer, you put it in a laundry basket and fold it.
But me and my mom realized the flaws in our system when we would fold entire loads of my sister’s laundry, but would never find any of ours done! She thought she was slick and would only put her clothes into an empty washer/dryer.
Especially rotten food! I just got rid of someone I was renting my basement out to and they had left rotten food all over the place. Like, having an empty amazon box in your room is one thing, but rotting left overs just sitting out? Disgusting beyond reason.
I can’t go full picard right now, but I could buzz it and thought I’d try it. Not sure if I like it or not. It look any better? Go full picard? Abort and hide my shame with length?

I have played Eve Online so many hours, and it’s a bad game. Don’t do it. you will spend hundreds of hours dreaming about the cool thing you’ll do later, but for 99% of players the cool thing will never happen. You will be part of the one percent’s cool thing....
And of course our brains will say “Well if you just get better at the game, you will get more of the peak gaming!” But no, no we won’t. The game was not made for that.
I can see it, I played a lot, but I never lost my job over it.
But there were folks that were on no matter what, and as time has gone on the micro transactions have only gotten worse and more aggressive. So it’s easy to imagine that those folks who were on 24/7 were burning whatever money they had on the micro transactions.
The high of the really good things happening felt SOO good. Like pulling off the perfect heist/ambush felt so good it pulled you through another 50 hours of grinding on the amount of adrenaline and endorphins you would get after that 5 minute victory.
I remember having a ton of fun leveling up my first toon. It was a sith juggernaut I think? Had a cool thing where you could recruit a jedi woman to join you either by being so evil you corrupt her, or so good she decides she’d rather be with a good guy working in an openly evil society than a villain in one that always espoused goodness. I thought that was super cool.
End game was awful, then the next expansion they utterly broke the companion system which was my favorite thing about the game.
Bro go play Nexomon extinction. It’s a really good single player mon game. Best I’ve found. Really funny story, cool monsters, and SO many good quality of life changes pokemon should have implemented a decade ago.
EDIT: Oh and NO microtransactions if you play on switch/PC. The microtransactions on mobile are pointless and make no sense, so don’t play on mobile.
Oh goodness I have no idea why I spent hundreds of hours in this game! No graphics, combat was trash, you had to make arrows one by one, took literal hours to level the ground, and it was the most P2W thing I’ve ever played on top of having to pay monthly premium.
Why did I spend so many nights staying up late trying to get skills up??
I had a feeling it would show up sooner or later! Eve, DBD, ARK, and LoL are the 4 I thought of when posting this. No one has fun playing these games. We play them almost certainly because of a moral failing at this point.
Yeah I hard core played that game. Also the fact that on the “Freedom” servers almost everything was owned, and has been for a decade. When I first played over 12 years ago you had to walk for hours to find anything you were allowed to interact with.
It’s CBA, Forest nothing, then 1v1 and team games.
Where are the Free for alls? King of the hills? The 30K other mods? Like it’s just CBA elitist’s most of the time that’ll call for a requeue if one player “feeds”
The skill curve on that game seems so stupid to want to get into it now days. I played it as a child and it was a fun game, but I moved on and ditched it and never thought of it until it became big on the internet all this time later.
What's your pet peeve in your favorite video game?
Mine is the lag in Stellaris, and lack of options to let me impact it. Like let me disable the ability for the AI to make habitats FFS!

Inspired by the linked XKCD. Using 60% instead of 50% because that’s an easy filter to apply on rottentomatoes....
What video game have you played the most, that you think is garbage and no one else should ever play?
