  • It got to be Goat Simulator for sure:

    • Top notch graphics.
    • Full of features, even some not intended by the developers.
    • You can hurt and get hurt, so it’s BDSM-friendly.
    • Open sandbox.
    • It’s more recognisable than Tetris. Tetris is easy to confuse with some Tetris knock-off, Goat Simulator is instantly “yup, this is Goat Simulator”.
    • It’s deeper in lore and philosophy than Chrono Trigger.
    • Zelda’s worldbuilding pales in comparison with Goat Simulator’s.
    • Requires more strategy than Diablo and FFA combined.
    • You play it as a goat dammit. Everything else is just fluff.
    Note

    This is a joke answer. Don’t take it seriously.


  • If by “a little toxicity” you mean a little bit of aggressiveness, sarcasm, etc., I agree with you. It depends a lot on the community though - in some, allowing it will be counter-productive.

    If however you mean harassment and hate speech, as the author of the text, I strongly disagree. If the mod doesn’t curb down those things, they might not be “lording” over the discourse, but other users are - because

    • users shut each other up through harassment
    • hate speech silences whole groups, as they leave the community

    Another detail is that you don’t need to control the discourse to curb down harassment, since it’s only behavioural and not discursive in nature.

    So IMO when it comes to those two things the problem is not overzealous mods, but dumb ones not doing due diligence, who are a bit too eager to falsely accuse their own users to be voicing hate speech or harassing each other when it is not the case.

    [Sorry for the wall of text.]








  • Chuck. Chop it finely with a knife. Don’t use ground meat. Add salt and pepper, sear it from all sides inside the crock pot.

    When it forms a fond add some random wine that you’ve been chugging. No sweetened wine, please. But red, rosé, white, it’s all fine. Use it to deglaze the bottom.

    Then add onions, garlic, red peppers, all of them peeled and minced. And broth. If you don’t have broth you do freeze chicken bones, right? …wait, I should stop filling my freezer with chicken bones.

    As the beef gets soft add whatever veggies you have. Take into account cooking times. Potato, button mushrooms (you’re now a veggie, get into the pot Nebby), carrot, cabbage. And tomato paste, I buy it by kilogram and then freeze it into ice cubes, I put “enough” of them there. Adjust seasoning as necessary.

    Near the end use your judgment. You can reduce it further, or add some thickener (I like to add brown roux), or leave it as is. Then eat it over polenta or cooked taters.







  • For many, any thinking is overthinking; because they believe that acting and thinking are mutually exclusive. And this happens to be the sort of people who typically says stuff like I listed.

    And they keep doing dumb shit over and over and over and over. Harming the ones around them - not due to malice, but due to mental laziness.

    Most decisions might not be permanent, but you won’t know which ones without thinking.
