Au contraire I was in the target age range for neopets during the scientology years so I only have experience of that era

A very shortlived one! I was scared of anything that featured gambling so I stopped using the site after only a few months

Are Quake 2 expansions good?

48

I mean if you like quake 2 they’re probably…fine. they were more interesting in the past because they messed with the enemy ai and abilities to make them tougher (and you could play regular q2 using the console this way) but the remaster is already way beyond that. The new weapons are pretty w/e. In one xpac, it’s nostalgia for quake 1. One of them has a nail gun that’s just the hyper blaster but with its own ammo, which I guess is cool because you can save your cells for the bfg? There’s a plasma beam that’s the thunderbolt but is also basically just a hitscan hyperblaster that does use cells. And the other expansion is like wouldn’t it be cool if you had a worse rocket launcher that uses up twice as much ammo. One of the expansions is by the redneck rampage guys too. It doesn’t inspire confidence

Maybe new machinehead expansion could be good. If it’s comparable to the one made for Quake 1, I might download Quake 2 just to play that expansion

Tourists are apparently having terrible manners in SuperPotato (and everywhere) lately.

Ok I know nothing about this game but based on the concept and the way it looks and moves I’m gonna say the developers are French

i keep getting this “you can never go ‘home’ again” feeling lately about eventually going back to Japan. like that tourists have become so awful, my experience is going to be a lot worse the next time i get there (it’s been…13 years, somehow)

Since 2019, my wife and I have been planning on moving to Taiwan long term. Over time, I’ve had this feeling growing that it won’t be as fulfilling to me as moving to China was in 2016. But… I won’t know unless I go so that’s still the plan.

I can see that, but I think in practice you wouldn’t face that much animosity if you were acting politely and following expectations. Every country is different, but when I lived in China there were a couple of times where you’d think people would hate you for being American but strangers were almost more friendly than people I interact with in the US. Worst I got was just privacy invading curiosity.
