  • oh i know how this works and its not the way you think. Its somehow better and worse at the same time

    Im going to describe the process using a hypothetical situation:

    You decide to try a new shampoo but you’re not sure what to buy. You ask your friend “hey what shampoo do you use” and they tell you they use Head and Shoulders.

    Later that night, you google head and shoulders and read reviews

    The next day, your friend gets Head and Shoulders ads on youtube and facebook and Instagram, etc

    This is because google knows both of your locations and search history. It sees that you two were within a few feet of each for hours and decides to shoot ads at you both, based on what either of you have searched recently.

    This is called proximity targetted advertising and i think its gross.

    But this is why so many people say things like “we were talking about it and now im seeing ads they must be spying on me”








  • id happily play with you. my favorite franchise.

    The co-op is silent. no chat, no text. You communicate via animations and gestures

    you use an item to let people know youre interested in playing together, and if another player walks by the spot, they can see and interact with your “sign” and summon you to their game








  • that’s actually a really good point too

    im pretty close to your age and even i will admit that a good single player game hits better than any multiplayer arena shooter out there

    But there’s a few “silent co-op” games i really enjoy. Games where i can join a stranger, help them with a quest or boss and then leave. Im the oldest of 3 and i miss beating levels for my little brothers. Elden Ring, Dark Souls , Nioh, Monster Hunter, these all scratch the itch pretty well

    When many people hear “multiplayer videogame” they think mmos or cod/quake/Unreal tournament clones

    i would never start playing multiplayer halo if it came out today. But theres still LOTS of multiplayer games out there that i find very appealing.


  • like jurassic park, life finds a way

    Comouter scientists are now able to change gender as an evolutionary response to the lack of women in STEM fields

    the socks are not mandatory, they are just given out in case anyone is chosen to be the new cutest girl in the office

    i will warn you that if you ever start saying “mrrrp…nya :3” even as a joke, it WILL trigger the process to begin

    …oh shit wait
