video games and music sure are neat… i am currently “moving” this account to kbin.run
I’d say I’m agnostic, but my parents also didn’t force religion on me, my dad is Catholic, and my mom is Thai Buddhist, and I view the Buddhist ideology to strive for to be satisfied without material as an honorable goal. I feel as if I believe that attaining that mindset really is nirvana, and I don’t think you need to be particularly religious to think that’s possible.
It’s about time to rewatch Avatar, isn’t it…
Those people are subhuman and don’t belong with the rest of us. They get a tickbox that says “Select if you were born on the 22nd of the month.” All the tickbox does is send SWAT to the address you entered
Its not necessarily a kid’s game, but that is their primary demographic and player base out of some fusion of being easy to run, simple games being easier to create, the art style, the accessibility and short term gratification of easily jumping between experiences.
Advertisers don’t like it, and won’t advertise where there’s porn. Advertisers pay for most of these websites’ existence. They capitulate to the demands.
That is a pretty disturbing idea. I think it depends how realistic we go with the “science”. If you wanna be realistic enough to suggest that a Pokemon could experience the feeling of transforming into an inanimate object then I think it shouldn’t be too painful.
The transformation is basically instantaneous in the game, so if you felt it at all, you wouldn’t really have time to process it before even your brain and neurons are turned into matter that can’t send or receive any signals of thought or feeling.
So even if your “life energy” was retained within the item, it would take something specific for it to become “active” for you to regain thought and feeling. We’d need to know where the line is and what causes other inanimate objects to gain consciousness and become Pokemon proper. Like, does Chimecho have a brain or nerves? Does Gastly, a creature made out of… Gas have neurons or nerves? Does it shit?
Getting back into Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker. I’m about at the end of the game and I’ve really enjoyed playing a portable full on stealth game. Its scope is quite limited, what with it being a PSP game, but it actually serves to breed a pretty easygoing stealth game with not too much of a cost for getting caught and pretty limited sound and sight ranges to match the small level sections.
While it’s totally limited it’s actually a bit refreshing compared to how tight being stealthy can be in even the home console MGS games.
Oh yes, he was the Govenator.
It’s definitely got a lot of caveats. For me, it is annoying to need to put my hair up every time I eat, otherwise I eat my hair. But I love the way it feels moving around and if you have any social anxiety it conceals your face when you look down, which can be helpful as an instant hideaway.
But yes, it is definitely many times less manageable than short hair. However… I don’t have bedhead ever!
That reminds me of men’s haircuts. If you’re sticking to traditional short hair you basically just walk in and go… Okay, how much longer do I want the top than the sides and do I want a fade or a hard line? And that’s pretty much it.
Going for longer hair as a guy just gives you so many more options.
This was the most hilarious discussion I’ve ever witnessed on the internet, especially because you guys included links and quoted the article better than another “more serious” arguments I’ve seen.
This is a good one, but I think it’s not all shame. Concealing farts in public is a game of skill. You must consider how to position your body so that no sound is made. How quiet is the area you’re in? Are there others around who could conceal the true farter? Are you able to discreetly move to another location so that by the time the smell arrives you’re no longer a suspect?
You also take into account your last eaten foods and recent farts and how they may result in large smell or sometimes no smell. It’s a big game of strategy and execution to be a covert farter.
Ishi-Sengoku-Den “Sadame”. It’s basically a 2D top down brawler style game with randomized loot drops a la Diablo, styled after Sengoku era Japan. Weird game, but a fun one for a unique Diablo like experience on 3DS.
He’ll only tell you what the job duties are AFTER you’re hired and YOU have to pay to be hired? For $10/hr? Even if that wasn’t a straight up scam I wouldn’t invest time, money, and effort into signing up and doing onboarding if I didn’t know what the hell I was doing.
Hard to say exactly what’s going on there with that little info, though.
A lot of that is out of band’s hands. Ticketmaster has, essentially, a monopoly on venues. It’s already incredibly hard to even make net zero on playing shows, getting picky about venues makes that almost impossible and relegates your band to shitty dive bars.
It had flaws, but I found the three hero swapping mechanic pretty fun, especially due to each one having a class that made them better or worse against certain enemies, and I loved the whole triple jumping thing, combat felt unique and fun.
The rest of the game has a lot of not so awesome bits, but I found it absolutely good enough to warrant an improved sequel. Hopefully they do something with it one day.
I’m not sure what you mean. Saints Row 4’s large criticism was that it was too different from SR’s heritage what with being a super hero game instead of GTA on crack. Past that Gat out of Hell isn’t a mainline title and was even further out there, and then Agents of Mayhem wasn’t even a Saints game, and I enjoyed the hell out of that game’s unique merits.
The SR reboot was the first real Saints Row release since 3, so you could say that it didn’t do enough different (which I can’t speak for, I didn’t play it), but saying the series hasn’t done anything new since 3 is not correct. Whether those games were super great or not is a different discussion, but they were doing something different, unless you just didn’t specify between something different for the series or something different from all other video games.
Don’t worry, once youre given equipment to deal with them it’ll start to demystify them and you’ll feel more confident.
Don’t be afraid to save before you deal with them too. If you walk into their radius (your odradek will pop up in a dramatic fashion and start tracking them) then you cannot save, but if you just walk back until youre out of their range again you can make a save and then take however many attempts as you want to handle them.
Their behavior can be hard to figure out, so feel free to message me or something if you want more info on how to best handle them.
They won’t go away, but you will eventually learn and see where they are. Sometimes you’ll have to engage them, a lot of the time you can get around them.
They’re not in all areas, but you will be able to understand how to deal with them and once you can fight back you can handle them.
I was terrified by them in the beginning and didn’t want to have to deal with them, but now I really think they’re cool and enjoy taking them down. You really go from helpless and confused to knowledgeable and prepared.
Mentioning smoking breaks is a big part, I think. At a place I used to work if you smoked you basically got free extra breaks to take care of it that other associates did not, and depending how tough your job is it could be an incentive.
