A huge chunk of the Old Testament is Jews complaining about God. It's nothing new.
Single player games you can't pause are just plain retarded. I totally understand if you can't play with your inventory, use items, or what not while at risk in the world. That's fine. An option for "I would not like to participate in this game in any way for a period of time" should be a default feature.
I also appreciate games that offer a "quick save" feature that allow you to totally abandon a game and return later with a one-time-use save if they otherwise want to limit saving. Especially long talky RPGs. Sometimes you go into a section of talking and have no idea you're about to spend 30 minutes there.
Everything else is things I don't like about game design, but I'm not screeching about disabilities and trying to make a dev feel bad for not accommodating it like this ho.
I remember ages ago, like 2015-16ish, someone on Reddit referenced this guy as proof positive about how wrong I was about whatever game we were talking about. After having wasted whatever time watching that clown back then, the best I could think of as commentary on him is a movie quote:
What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Don't worry, there's a pride day or a pride week just around the corner.
Yeah, that game is totally living in your head rent free.
Simple FPS. I don’t want to slide and wall run. I typically don’t like ADS unless it’s like a sniper or something. Doesn’t have to be fast paced if the atmosphere is well done. Think Doom 3, F.E.A.R., Quake, etc.
There’s no point in bothering to make such a game online minus maybe a friend play mode. Nothing that isn’t full of advanced movement or building, or basically some mechanic other than shooting they can figure out how to git gud at from their streamers gets any attention anyway.
It’s pretty fun. The trials take about an hour each, but they did a good job of offering multiple reasons to want to replay maps with different objectives, starting points, etc. They’ve also added a lot of content and I believe a whole new map is coming sometime in summer. Solo wise, it works fine, but you might want to prepare to be more stealthy. Instead of relying on other players to revive you, there’s opportunities to gather items in the trial that allow you additional respawns.
Occasional car games (mostly) with friends. We also played Outlast Trials quite a bit.
On my own, I just started up Skies of Arcadia this weekend, and I don't really know why that game got my attention, but something in my head said it was time to play it. Not that far in yet. I also rushed through what I had left in Yakuza 4, as I was dropping game pass where I had been playing it and didn't want to start over. It wasn't that great. I've started 5 on PC now, but I'm really just screwing around with mini games for now. Other than that, I go spend an hour here and there in Prodeus. All in all, I haven't been gaming a ton. I'm considering a job change and have been spending time on a little bit of those such things along with maybe trying to take some of the dumb certifications to have to throw on credentials too.
The last group is only partially lying. They are breaking the barriers. Starting with every floor they walk on.
unfun
That's the key for me.
Along with many of these making the grind absolutely ridiculous so they can peddle skipping the grind for some of that MTX money.
I've not done Japan yet, but I've been plenty of places that supposedly hate tourists or hate American tourists. I've never had an issue once. I do tend to avoid tourist-heavy spots. I wouldn't walk across the street to take a picture of Mount Fuji abovs a convenience store. Anywhere I am that there is a tourist-heavy site that I want to see, I'm up early and done with all of those by 10am. Typical irritating tourists go when it's crowded. I'll spend the rest of the day way out in some weird places or hiking or something. Then the evenings I rest or I like to find sporting events to go to. Yeah, I've got multiple instances of where I've had someone talk to me and end up asking "You're from Texas, why are you all the way out here?" So yeah, I haven't really planned Japan although it's mostly on the books for early 2026, but when everyone is crowding up some Instagram spot in Tokyo, I'll be off in Sendai or something anyway. (I just picked a town off a rail map, I have no idea where I'd go but that's how I am).
It's simple. Be civilized, be quiet, don't trash places. Who the hell eats while walking? Bleh. You're on vacation take time to eat like a human being.
There's definitely a huge problem with gambling and the "stupid tax" as a whole. I don't know how it is in the UK, but sports betting in the US has gone absolutely insane the past five years. I only see it getting worse, and if that makes them mentally ill, the minority of people will still be sane.
What are the skins for, and shouldn't we blame the idiots that would spend anywhere from $0.03 to $1,345 for the skins?
Wait, this abomination to the human race is named "Maebe A. Girl"
I have no words.
Let me guess, that's just one of the Village People out there performing,
They did that where I lived in Texas at the time way back in the bad 2011 drought. I've never heard of them being enforced unless there is a real drought, but they are on the books permanently. I don't think there are any where I live now. It's generally up to the municipality.
The whole "save the water" mindset drives my logic centers crazy anyway. All of the water around here is generally from lakes that fill from rainwater. When the lakes are full and there's plenty of rain (like this year) there is no reason to care about conserving water. If there's no capacity to store what's left, it ends up in the ocean. Not to mention the whole concept of the water table aside from that.
I guess I was around at the right time, but to be fair at that age I never really pushed my way into the world of comics. I really don't remember any of my peers at that time in the American South being interested in any comics really. So, I don't know if it was just past it's time already, or it was a regional thing.
I'd say he's lucky he wasn't forced into a gallows.
I'm sure there's some niche if I were more interested. I really haven't tried in years. I have gone through a small amount of manga.
There's so much to read more than time I invest in it, so I'll really never run out of content.
It has to be where you go. I don't run into this either. I also don't like eating on city sidewalks.
Do they really seek to learn and understand? I don't think they do. They've been told all through the years while they attended school that they are smart because they are "educated" they have credentials and what not. They have made their whole life being doing what's prescribed and counting it as being intelligent.
Einstein on the other hand said, "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day. Never lose a holy curiosity."
They don't question....they accept.
I think this is really the reason I was never into comic books as a kid. It was all this. What happens when I'm not interested in superheroes?
I would have liked manga I'm sure, but I don't remember it being all that common at the time in the US. The story lines and characters are totally different.
Just some simple things to point out since I see this back and forth. I presume we are talking about the standard US banking system here. There are several common account types, generally anyone can get these accounts in the US. I'm sure there's exceptions for history of fraud, crime, or whatnot but the average person can get all of these. I had most of them when I was 18 making peanuts.
Checking Account -- I think we all understand this one
Savings Account -- usually no penalties and readily available with no minimum balance and 4% interest. Can often get ATM withdrawals of cash instantly, but in any case should be accessible in 1 business day. Almost all of these accounts allow 6 withdraws a month of any amount with no fee or penalty.
"Regular" Brokerage -- It's a trading account to buy stocks, bonds, funds, and what not. It is not a 401k. There's no penalty or limit of any sort generally to transfer things in and out. At least not that would affect someone in the 60k-100k income range. You would have to liquidate any securities you have at present market value that may or may not have changed value.
Retirement accounts (401k, IRA, Military thrift savings, etc.) -- these do carry a penalty of 10% for early withdrawal under 60, often you cannot withdraw if you still work at a company, etc. Not the best place to keep emergency money, it's supposed to be for retirement savings.
CD Accounts -- These guarantee an interest rate in exchange for a commitment to keep the money in them for a certain term. Penalty varies by bank, typical is a fee equal to 6 months of interest, so for $1000 at 5% interest, it would be $25 fee to liquidate this.
As to whatever else is being bickered about, I don't care. I don't think a ton of this is even really in this video. I just wanted to spell out the most common accounts, because I keep reading things about accounts that aren't really accurate.
Boooo. I liked to walk around in there. I never bought anything so I guess joke's on them. You're right they have changed though.
So I went from the Desbians to Fedora and apparently brought the pozzed with me. Next time I reinstall, I’m probably going to Arch, so if anyone of you is using Arch, you’ve got about a year or two to move on.
