Slime Rancher 2! It’s not even complete yet, but I’ve already put in 30+ hours in a week. The map is huge and gorgeous.

Someone hid the sharpies from them.

I think it’s really cool how many different disciplines go into making a game.

Yeah, I don’t think many devs have ever worked in a kitchen.

Damn, I’m sorry about that. Some of my steam frens have said the same thing too. Idk what’s up with that. Maybe it’s my subtle, yet devastating comebacks: “Your depression doesn’t scare me” (they don’t know they’re depressed) and “Meow” (someone just called someone else a “Pussy”).

I’m also a big fan of the Mute button (which they recently added for the enemy team as well); it can make for an awkward game though, saving/healing someone that you muted. I haven’t used it recently though. >.>

I’ve had the opposite experiences with Deep Rock Galactic, I think mostly because there’s no enemy team, but I’ve also had good experiences with Deadlock (valves new moba). Of course there’s still toxic shitheads in Deadlock, but they are few. I think this is because of how bans work; you’ll still be able to play the game, but depending on why you were “banned” you won’t have certain features. Like if you were reported for abusive text or voice chat, you won’t be able to use text or voice chat, only the in-game pings (which are pretty good IMO). Similar with other reports, but they aren’t exactly relevant.

That makes sense now, and I’m slightly less perturbed; thank you. It’s just grifters grifting, as they do.

Why the fuck is there an anti-cheat in a single-player game? It’s baffling.

Rough. I wish they just… didn’t. Oh well.

To teabag those stupid sexy bugs. Also it can get weird down in the caves, imagine if we made it weirder. ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

One of my least favourite things about DRG is the inability to crouch. ;-;

I feel that. I’ve been playing satisfactory since way before 1.0 released, and my head canon was “Boring Interplanetary Camp Job”. but when 1.0 came out suddenly I have to sAvE tHe WoRLd too. gah.

What does “fully” mean? I’m watching Dan fucking Rath going on a hilarious rant rn on jing.

I wonder if this will translate to higher quality games now that the people that actually make them have more control over their product?

Then I likely had a defective one ;-;

Oh dang, the F310 was the same one I was complaining about lol. Maybe it waos because I was using it on a linux machine or something.

Well, both of the ones I used (one was second hand) had a very small range for the analog stick. Like it would take a few seconds to turn the character around in a game even if I put the sensitivity up to max. Though if you had good experiences, maybe it wasn’t the controllers fault. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anything by Logitech.

Positive results on a quasi-scientific self-experiment is not a good way to gain knowledge. At best it is how you specifically react to the variables introduced; however, it seems that you only performed this self-experiment on two separate occasions or perhaps only when you planned to go to the gym. Although your attempt to limit confounding variables is commendable, it is not enough to reach a conclusion. To definitely find the truth on the matter, many more participants must be enrolled and the experiment should last for at least three weeks, but hopefully much longer so as to definitely reduce any confounding variables that will influence the results. Some of the better studies regarding physical performance were running for around six months just for this reason.

Specifically regarding your self-experiment, if it was indeed performed as one session vs. one other session, there could be any number of confounding variables that could have effected your performance other then masturbation. Did you keep a sleep journal during the experiment (recording night mood, morning mood, amount of sleep)? Did you consume alcoholic beverages in the seven days leading up to the session? What was your specific workout routine?

In my opinion you should continue this experiment, but record more data for longer amounts of time; say six months of abstention, and six months of regular masturbation. Of course, this produces it’s own confounding variables because it could very well be that the result you get has nothing to do with whether or not you masturbated, but rather the gains you made during the first trial period. Which is why to be able to tell people what is truth and what is incorrect, more participants must be recruited to validate the results; otherwise, it will only ever be (again) at best (i.e. confounding variables properly accounted for to the best of your ability), how you specifically react to abstention.

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

Thank goodness.
