The last PlayStation I owned was a PS3, and I have very little desire to get a PS5. If I were still interested in consoles, I'd be disappointed that they didn't announce any new games alongside the PS5 Pro. Just 1-2 launch titles would have been cool to showcase the supposedly super powerful console.
As it stands I guess Im gonna stay a dirty pc gamer
(Besides the fact that the 800 eurodollar price tag is just brutal)

Wow, the space in No Man’s Sky from 2016 looks better, and it's actually a game you can put hundreds of hours into. Plus, No Man’s Sky was made by like 5-10 people in a small studio with basic tools. What's Star Citizen's excuse?

My relationship is going really well. My partner and I have gotten a lot closer over the last couple of dates. They really seem to desire me. It still feels kind of surreal to be in a real relationship after being an isolated hermit for such a long stretch of my life. I'm also going to introduce them to my parents soon (it should go well—my parents are pretty chill).

I’ve played both games. I didn’t love either of them, but I thought they were interesting and trying something different. I fully agree that Northgard and Dune: Spice Wars are pretty different overall and mostly just share being real-time as their main common factor.

Sausage Party. I felt insulted after finishing the movie. I don’t care if Seth Rogen is otherwise a swell guy—if I ever meet him in real life, I want him to apologize for being involved in that movie.
I’ve watched some movies I consider monstrous, jet-black, and mean-spirited, but Sausage Party feels like it was made by a committee just to fuck with me personally.
Sausage Party is a 2016 movie with racism that feels like it's from 2000, and an approach to adult themes that I find both infantile and disturbing.
I can forgive some horniness if it's done right and fits the movie. I can't forgive racism.
Sausage Party is racist, horny trash. 0/10.
Personally, it's the worst movie I've ever watched in my life.

What the title says. Im looking for fun/informative youtube vids on anything leftish. I already have some channels I enjoy like Secondthought and the deprogram gang. Im just trying to avoid libshit or reactionaries. EDIT- Thanks to all the posters who recommended something
So, I'm currently dating someone, and it's my first time dating. I was a kissless virgin before this but I’m not kissless anymore ^^. Anyway, we get along really well, sharing a lot of interests and similar views. They're a "newer" lefty, but they have a good head on their shoulders and are open to learning. We’re really excited about each other. We've talked a lot over voice chat, had three dates so far, and exchange a bit of daily texting. At this point, I'm pretty sure we're going to become a couple, maybe even for a longer time. Today is our 4th date, but I do not intend to tell them I love them because I'm not really sure how love feels. I definitely feel attraction, and it seems very mutual. I guess my question is: When do I tell someone I love them, and how do I know when I truly love them? Im asking because this is literally my 1st time dating and I have never been involved in anything romantic.
Kind of what the title says—I want to learn more about the Byzantine Empire. It doesn't need to be an academic book in fact, I would prefer something fun to read and not too dry. I'm mostly interested in the later years, around 800-1400. If anyone has a recommendation, hit me up! I´d settle for historical fiction as well.
Sorry I gotta vent. In the big liberal places I frequent, every second person talks about how we need to defend democracy and how they would be ready to fight against Russian or Chinese invaders. Like, seriously, I'm not going to die to defend liberal "democracy". If I'm ever forced to serve, I'll go through training, and then, as soon as I know how to handle a weapon, I'll REDACTED the highest-ranking officer I can find. If these bloodthirsty fucks want to stop Russia, why are they talking about it on Reddit instead of being on a train to Kiev? I have to hand it to those silly Reddit brigades: at least they put their money where their mouth is, even if it's based on complete brain rot.

I'm at work, so please keep me entertained while I pretend to work on this invoice. In 2028, Taylor Swift (D) is running against Tucker Carlson (R). Who are their VP picks? Who wins?

(Even if he is Hitlerian as fuck) Kanye West / Alex Jones ticket ?!?!
So, I picked up Dominions 6 a while ago. Only played for 10h so far. I'm just looking for impressions from folks. It's fine if you've played earlier Dominions games. What do you think about it? Any tips? I want to play multiplayer games one day, but I'm still a noob. The number of variables and theoretical options seems massive. There are over 100 playable nations between 3 ages. Im probably gonna play Middle Ages since it seems the most fun™ and cozy™ I'm feeling a bit of choice paralysis regarding nations and pretender creation. I'm really interested in nations that use blood magic
The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born; now is the time of monsters. I'm happy to have Hexbear while the Empire is burning. It's fun to post during the last days of Rome.
I'm not sure if I want to open myself up about "this". It's not because I feel vulnerable, but because some people might think less of me for it. In a way, it's showing someone a massive weak spot that could be used against me. So, while I'm writing this, it seems obvious to me that it is foolish. Yet still, I have a lingering urge to share some of these feelings. Truthfully, I have never shared this with anyone. Not even in a therapy setting have I felt comfortable enough to do so. I did nothing illegal, so don't worry. Its also nothing sex related. Hypothetical. Imagine I killed someone in self-defense. Even if people might be sympathetic, they would view me differently after I told them that. It would change my relationship with them. This is just an example for something that has the potential to greatly change the dynamic between people. I DIDNT KILL SOMEONE. Any input would be appreciated. EDIT OK. I talked with someone about it. Feel a bit better. Probably wont disclose it on Hexbear but thanks for all the input.

I haven't played a longer session of Stellaris in quite a while, but I think I'm back. It's really quite fun, and the current version of the game feels very polished, coming from someone who has been playing Stellaris since 2016 (I "only" have 660 hours in it). I've actually never finished a full game of Stellaris. I usually play max-size galaxies, so that might have something to do with it, but I run out of steam after 15-20 hours. This time, though, I want to try to stick it out until the end, either winning or dying trying. I know some people dread micromanagement, but I love juggling different resources and maximizing my economy in this game. It also helps that I actually enjoy warfare most of the time in Stellaris, which I can't say for all Paradox games. I usually play some degree of Spiritualists or Xenophiles, but with the last DLC being focused on machines, I had to bring some robots. So, I'm playing as Fanatic Militarist/Authoritarian bots. It's going pretty well—I have 3 vassals/tributaries, and I'm the strongest force in the Galactic Community. I want to give Fanatic Pacifists a try sometime and play a very diplomacy-focused game with lots of envoys
The graphics show the biggest free features of patch 1.7. I've heard from people online that the performance improvements are quite real. Here is the changelog https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/developer-diary/victoria-3-dev-diary-122-sphere-of-influence-and-update-1-7-kahwah-changelog.1689255/ Im currently busy with a Stellaris game but I will check out Vicky 3 again after some hotfixes.

So my dad has a cellar that is completely empty. We just store some plants there during the winter months. Now, I had an idea. In theory, I could plant around 100 mushrooms down there, right?

Should I watch it ? Is it "good" ? I heard some super high praise from some people -better than Frieren they said (which im sceptical of) Please no spoilerinos :3 DONT JUST UPBEAR ! Tell me what you think ..pwease ? EDIT Thank you for your responses everyone. I started the show and might make a thread after im done.
It's cute girls doing cute things, but it also seems to have some yuri (lesbian elements). I don't wanna spoil it for people who haven't seen it yet, but it's about a bunch of girls that come together to make art. Really cute and gets kinda emotional towards the end (at the moment, episode 10). Good stuff though. Might be one of my favorite shows this season. I'm not really active in anime circles, but I got the impression it might fly a bit under the radar (or am I overhyping it?)
So I "think" I suffer from stress, both work-related and from other real-life things I have very little control over. I also have a physical problem: random twitching of muscles that one doctor thought might be stress-related. It's not that serious to my knowledge, but it is annoying. Can people give me input on whether meditation helps in some capacity? Is it worth getting into? When/how often should I meditate? Please share your views or stance on it.
So I did post some Choose Your Own Adventure (CYOA) stuff here and there. This is the longest I've posted so far. I hope those of you who like these enjoy this one. I'm gonna go to sleep now and will be back later. I hope some of you share your builds and thoughts. I plan to create some CYOAs of my own when I have time this year. I might post them if there is interest.
