I remember it being probably the most difficult shooter I had ever played up until that point. The campaign was genuinely so hard. I (barely) managed to beat it and the boss fight at the end took me real life months.

That is such a cold take. People say this all the time. Ive literally seen and heard people compare this to the industrial revolution before.

Unless you do obviously dumb things, like not doing anything at all and letting the enemies hit you, you literally could not fail at baldurs gate on default difficulty. I actually find it way too easy to succeed and far too forgiving. You could genuinely go through the whole game with your “picked random everything” character. Youll get your ass kicked a few times, but youll never get stuck anywhere. The only part thats complex is the story IMO. There are dozens of alternative endings and secret story bits and hidden interactions between characters. Almost every quest, no matter how small, has multiple endings. You could probably sink 1000 hours into BG3 without going through most of the story content.

Not to be an ass, but youre 20 so you arent one of “The Kids” anymore lmao. Youre an adult now. I think your point definitely still stands though. Im only slightly older than you and when I was in highschool virtually everyone had IG, Snapchat and Twitter. I dont talk to anyone in the highschool age bracket but I think they probably still use IG/Snap/Twitter (or X if you prefer).

This is a thing thats (slowly) becoming mainstream I think. Rainbow 6 siege has it (or it did when I last played at least) and Battlebit Remastered has it. In Battlebit you can actually lean left / right all the time, no matter if youre against a corner or not. You can even do it in open fields

This starts to devolve as an idea kinda fast because someone out there has a phobia for every single thing. I do agree though on spiders specifically. I do not have arachnophobia but its so common and giant spiders are kinda overplayed in fantasy anyways, that I dont think theyd be missed.

Im not particularly conscious and I do sometimes smile with some teeth showing, like if I was laughing super hard and my teeth just happened to be showing I wouldnt try to hide it. But if I am, say, taking a group photo, I dont smile with all my teeth out. Its just weird to me.

I am an american and I have lived here my whole life, and I never got this. Almost every person I know IRL except me smiles with all their teeth out like a fucking demented shark or something, and if I dont show my teeth like Im about to bite someone then other people chide in like “come on you arent even smiling!”. For some reason americans just bare all their teeth like dogs when we smile and its disgusting and weird

For the record people in my area do actually call their driveway “the asphalt” and I have heard them call it such even if it literally was not asphalt so ymmv lol

I agree careers get ruined more often over silly things now, but its not anywhere close to a modern issue. People have been getting some form of “cancelled” for pretty much all of time, sometimes for a good reason and sometimes for a bad reason. If you really live your life in constant terror over the idea, maybe you should become self-sufficient and move off the grid. Thats kinda the only solution to the problem. People are social animals and social animals sometimes make stupid social decisions such as “cancelling” one another and its just kinda unavoidable.

You know, Im obviously one person so my input matters very little, but Id much rather vote for a candidate with your ideals than any of the present options. Hopefully one day there will be a candidate with these ideals and the recognition needed to win the election

Theoretically though, if youre already dead, would it even matter? To me, what youre describing would be the same as if, say, your grandkids or whatever descendants ended up finding a photoalbum filled with pics of you and letters you wrote to friends and family and such. There would be no outside context from you but it could still be a nice heirloom for your grandkids/great grandkids to remember you by and learn a bit about what type of person you were.

Without any major spoilers how would you say it compares to pikmin 1/2? Pikmin 3 was okay but imo 2 was the best, and 1 suffers a lot from poor quality of life. Ive played every game so far around release and Im tempted to get 4 on my next paycheck. Is it more like the caves and exploration of 2 or the slightly more linear gameplay of 3?

Being able to ban people across instances would defeat the entire point of the fediverse. The best solution would either be to just defederate from instances that spawn lots of bots, or to contact those instances and work on the issue with them. There isn’t really any other better way that I can think of

There are multiple victory conditions in civ like science, culture, war, and so on. But only one player can win still, no matter what condition they use, which is the main point OP was trying to make

In my experience most restaurants dont even have HR lmao. My mileage obviously varies but I have worked a few food industry jobs, and exactly 0 had any HR person other than the managers and assistant managers themselves

This update is mostly about making it easier for modding iirc, so while it will break your mods you hopefully wont really have to worry about it again after this update, and modders should have an easier time making cooler stuff now going forward

I dont mean to be rude but I think its something mostly between your social sphere. I played pik1/pik2/pik3 all on release, imo pikmin 2 was by far the best out of the three and pikmin 3 was the worst. The dungeons in 2 were imo a great idea but I do agree that they were poorly executed in almost every instance. Especially towards the end of the game they became a slog. I think the newer approach to dungeons should hopefully remedy this issue but we will certainly see

If I may ask, how does GURPS compare to pathfinder and other RPGs? I played a bit of pf1e, Im currently in some pf2e campaigns that have been going on a few years now, and I never played GURPS but I did read some GURPS reviews and GURPS material. It seems interesting but Im not sure how to go about pitching it to my goons

I do agree with your general point but there are some niche use cases, like how Paradox uses their forums for posting long-format updates and patch notes. That being said, the only use the paradox forums get at all is pretty much restricted to those long ass patch notes, and they could just as easily post them anywhere else
