Buy a #VideoGame when it's on sale as a bundle with most of the #DLC - maybe 3+ years ago.
Install/Play the game until it's (mostly) finished.
Notice while scrolling through a recent #sale that its last un-owned DLC's are selling at massive discounts and buy/install them all.
Open the game and realize that you have no clue how it works, spending the next few hours killing yourself and copious numbers of NPC when you forget what buttons/loot do what.
"I have always been here
I have always looked out from behind these eyes
It feels like more than a lifetime
Feels like more than a lifetime
Sometimes I get tired of the waiting
Sometimes I get tired of being in here
Is this the way that it's always been?
Could it ever have been different?
Do you ever get tired of the waiting?
Do you ever get tired of being in there?
Don't worry, nobody lives forever
Nobody lives forever"

RE: @grandrapidsnews@mastodon.social
Someday, some will look back on these as 'the good old days', when we _only_ had to miss enjoying a festival or special event because of the inconvenience of #flooding , and not "we have to evacuate all of downtown".
So when is #AI going to swoop in and #SaveThePlanet, or change the #weather....?
A question...
As non-residents in cities/townships/etc. that have AI data center owners seeking permits or rezonings to build and operate them... we don't have standing to speak at public input forums at the local level.
We often don't even know when they are in process due to signed NDAs and all of the secret communications.
Is there something that we can do to help our neighbors - and/or - is there something congress can do to force them into the light for public scrutiny?
If you're a fan of #animated #movies, this one won't disappoint you.
You'll probably recognize every A List and supporting actor in it, and the producer behind it... but I'm guessing you've never heard a word about it.
NOTE: It may not last long where it's posted for viewing, so now's the time to watch, or DL.
The movie is simply titled as "9", the number drawn on the back of the main character, voice acted by #ElijahWood , and was initially released in 2009.
Has anyone... anywhere... at any time... ever asked the question...
"What would #Melania do?"
