Well it’s been a while, so either I still managed to get lost with that, or I completely missed that mechanic… Well, I think even if I were told what area I should be in, I’d still feel like I needed to check off the 3 new paths I can now go down of the 15 currently locked to me. If that makes sense. I miss my map…

I loved Hollow Knight except for the same issue. By the time I gain a new traversal skill, I have so many paths to explore that I can’t remember them. Became all about meticulous backtracking, gave up.

Decided to give it another go. This time I found a map online, removed all icons and edited the image so it was just a simple outline with no spoilers. Printed it out. Marked it with notes and colour-coded symbols as I played. Made more progress, and exploration was way more fun.

Then I moved house and lost the map… I really love the game but just haven’t gotten the desire to try again just yet. No idea how everyone does it with just those way-too-limited in game map markers

Hmm. While I can see that and appreciate the inclusiveness of it, it still feels like the wrong choice to me. Maybe times are changing (obviously) and I need to get used to emojis being used in a more serious tone? But I don’t know… Are we there yet?

Holy shit I hadn’t clicked yet and hoped you were joking. I’m sure they mean well but I find that really disturbing, what a weird use of emoji…

Such a concise way of saying something I’ve tried to express about SO many things… Must remember these two sentences.

Damn, yeah hard to give any benefit of the doubt when it’s so opaque like you say. Very concerning

Not arguing, just want to be able to quote this confidently - can you link a source for this?

I can find some info about Australian-made aviation parts going to other countries as per existing agreements, who use them in aircraft that are then supplied to Israel. Which is absolutely still shit, but I can’t find anything about direct weapon sales to / from Israel

If you have the option, I would suggest going to a Dr before assuming anything is the only plausible explanation.

Personally, I found out about my neck / posture issues (even though outwardly I have decent looking posture so I never assumed it would be that), got some excercises from a physio and a completely different pillow, and that combo drastically reduced my headaches

Came to make the same recommendation. It depends on what aspect of the games you find intimidating. Most people recommending Elden Ring will likely be assuming that you mean mechanical difficulty, but in my case, the openness, variety, stat numbers etc of ER are all intimidating.

Sekiro is more approachable in this regard, the way forward is mostly clear, and the mechanics are clearly communicated, so you’re just left with practicing them until you’re good enough to progress.

I’d say that most people who say Sekiro is one of the hardest fromsoft games probably came from playing souls or Elden Ring and have the extra challenge of unlearning some of the foundations. I hadn’t played any, and though Sekiro is hard as hell sometimes, it clicked with me pretty quickly. Completed 3 endings and most of the optional, hardest content so far

That’d be Gorillaz for me. I can appreciate them, but not my thing. But, Demon Days is so damn good, love it start to finish

That’s his one and only song on my ‘liked songs’ play list. Love it

Interesting, I love all of their albums except for Villains, just can’t find my way in to that one. And …Like Clockwork is probably my next least listened to, but I do love a bunch of the tracks on it

I’m curious, what do you get out of saying this?

If you had infinite possibilities for interactions, then you would have an infinite number of outcomes that would require the game to do something it doesn’t have code or assets for. You would have to funnel the infinite possibilities of the conversation back down to the handful of options that feed into the planned game, which would have infinite ways of being awkward and making no sense.

This might be possible for an AI driven text adventure game I guess, but I can’t imagine it would be good… Or bad, or interesting, or anything at all because the artistry would be non existent

When this is your reaction to being asked for a source, people will immediately conclude that your claims are 100% made up

I haven’t heard this, how did the pandemic inform one way or another on flat earthers?

Not on hand, I’d just be googling for it at the moment. I did recently save a super informative comment about the history of the training schools of thought, I know it’s not an actual source but it should provide enough to search for if you want to go deeper.

Not gonna call you a dumbass when you’re open about this being anecdotal only, but yes, all of the ‘assert dominance’ stuff has been pretty thoroughly debunked. At best you’ll get a dog who fears you just the ‘right’ amount to behave how you want them to when you are there, but they don’t have any actual skills and the behaviour does not transfer well to other people and situations. And if their new anxiety does overcome their fear, the resulting behaviours will be much worse than what you started with.

The suspense is killing me…

I was watching Generation Kill, absolutely immersed because it’s amazing, then all of a sudden I’m hearing the baby cry from an interlude track on Ænima by Tool. I’ve listened to that album countless times so that was very very weird and distracting
