I came over from a long-time lurker reddit account when Apollo shut down. I have really enjoyed my time here so far and I hope to contribute some fun content when I can.
That’s wild! At that point is the hobby flying or building/designing sim cockpits?
I always thought panache was more of something you could add to yourself like a fancy coat.
Like a feather boa would give someone panache but maybe charisma would be the ability to attract with a smile. I know nothing, just guessing.
A trumpet properly played cuts directly to that bittersweet, blue part of my soul.
I bought Rimworld in 2015 on a Steam Christmas Sale and I finally played it this last year.
Breaking news: it’s really fun lol
I enjoyed Cyberpunk at launch. Forgive me…

I was not excited for this show until seeing that trailer! Fingers crossed 🤞
Invincible Ignorance Fallacy maybe?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invincible_ignorance_fallacy
The invincible ignorance fallacy,[1] also known as argument by pigheadedness,[2] is a deductive fallacy of circularity where the person in question simply refuses to believe the argument, ignoring any evidence given. It is not so much a fallacious tactic in argument as it is a refusal to argue in the proper sense of the word. The method used in this fallacy is either to make assertions with no consideration of objections or to simply dismiss objections by calling them excuses, conjecture, etc. or saying that they are proof of nothing, all without actually demonstrating how the objection fit these terms. It is similar to the ad lapidem fallacy, in which the person rejects all the evidence and logic presented, without providing any evidence or logic that could lead to a different conclusion.
Red-herring refers to a deliberately misleading clue. Gish gallop might be closer, it’s when you make a bunch of claims at once to overwhelm your opponent without regard to the validity of the claims. It’s not quite willful ignorance either. Hmmm…
I love pedantic stuff like this so I’m pretty sure I will be thinking about this the rest of the day now… thanks lol

Thank you :)
Really appreciate this comment, thank you!
I like this idea!
This sounds simple and right up my alley!
My doctor suggested Soylent and I found some near me. I was thinking this might be an option.
I’m excited for Cities 2 as well but keep reading its poorly optimized. Let’s hope not 🤞
I think the prevailing response here appears to be that as you get older you just don’t have the time like you did back in the day and so it’s harder to get into games. I think there’s truth to that but i wanted to point out something else. When you get older most people tend to do less NEW things and instead get more comfortable with what they know. Old people don’t know what’s going on in music, or art, or cinema, or even science because you find a world view that works for you and you stick with it, it gets comfortable.
When you’re younger you are more likely to give a fair shake to that new music genre or video game because you have so little to judge it against and you’re thirsty for new experiences. Not so much when you get older, people stop experimenting with NEW in favor of reliably good. Maybe use that perspective when looking at a new game or a game that you own but have never gotten into.
I have owned Rimworld since 2019 I think but I never got past the tutorial until recently. For some reason it all clicked and now I can’t stop playing. I think part of that is because it is so NEW to me, I haven’t played anything like it before so I can get swept away by it. Hard to do that when you’re playing your millionth FPS or open world slog.
Also playing with friends helps a lot. My significant other is a new convert to video games and it’s an absolute blast introducing them to new content. I had no need to go back and play Stardew Valley again… but it sure was fun lol

A friend with weed is a friend indeed but a friend with gold is better I’m told.
