I think they want to intimidate others, but honestly giving him this much of a spotlight should be the dream of anyone thinking about attacking another CEO for attention.

Level scaling is never fun and never will be, I think. There is no progression if your fights with early enemies are just as hard as they were 50h ago.

You could probably design around that by providing in-depth build options such that optimized builds outscale other entities of the same level. Later game enemies themselves would be optimized better and better. But that’s really hard and I’ve never seen it done. Why even provide a dynamic build for each enemy with each level if you could just have a normal non-scaling progression?

These systems often lead to me avoiding combat altogether. While not exactly a crpg, Oblivion was more fun to me without ever leveling up (which was optional, but made fights kinda pointless).

That’s basically how ‘Pokemon Channel’ played.

I agree with both, actually. However, most people do agree over abortion rights. A recent survey found that more than 80% of people agree with abortion rights.

That mech-woman seems like a direct copy of Kerrigan from StarCraft, their faction even assimilates others.

I’m surprisingly indifferent about this, despite playing ER multiple times and loving the DLC. Maybe I’ll get it at a discount in the future.

Oh, we’ve got some shitheads taking every culture war talking point from you guys. On of them tried to import the abortion debate, thinking it would spark outrage despite pretty much everyone over here agreeing with abortion rights - as any sane person would. And this shithead probably gets voted into one of the highest positions of government early next year.

That honestly wasn’t a good idea from the get-go. Don’t get me wrong, I’m really glad to be in Germany instead of the US, but there are several reasons I’d be open to leave for years now. It’s been obvious we’ve been running into major future problems nobody does anything about. But then again, once you actually look into it, pretty much every country has gone to shit or never has been anything but.

A small list of problems in Germany: political shift to the far right; reliance on a dying industry; avoiding debt at all costs; no investment in infrastructure or any modernization; the inevitable collapse of our pension system; degrading health care; pretty much missing workers in all fields and still hating on immigrants; a crippling bureaucracy overhead for everything; a society dead-set on both complaining about everything and wanting to change nothing.

My homecooked meals aren’t healthy enough! My eating habits are too salty with too little vegetables.

Yeah, I’m somewhat of a health nut otherwise.

When does something count as being eaten - once you swallow it? I don’t think you’d succeed at that with lava.

Ah, yes, Among Us, truly the most killer-y game of all killer games. Only a truly nefarious person would play that. In case they got the wrong guy, we should search the small group of other people who willingly played this dreadful game.

Do I even need a /s?

I don’t remember believing in Santa, so at the very least it wasn’t an important moment of my childhood. Writing letters isn’t a common thing where I live, instead we got a thick catalogue and circled everything we liked. I guess that made it pretty obvious from the very beginning.

Whether or not I’d lie to my hypothetical children… I don’t know. I guess I don’t care either way and would leave it up to my partner.

As for me, it used to be 50/50 back when I studied. However, ever since I’ve entered the workforce I mostly stopped watching videos.

I need to constantly learn new things, tackle new problems and optimize stuff. I usually go for the highest difficulties too. In theory, my job provides these tasks for me, however, I get a lot of satisfaction from trying and failing things over and over until I’ve figured them out myself. I can’t usually do this professionally, as most problems have already been solved and I’m just learning how others did it. The same as playing with a guide or watching a video on a game. It just doesn’t scratch the itch.

Yeah, I somewhat agree. Collecting full sets in the game is kinda fun, just because opening card packs is inherently fun. But I play the game precisely because this isn’t worth any money to me.

Having cards that are only obtainable with money ruins this. It’s kinda killing my interest in anything else they do since I can’t complete the promo set anyway.

The worst part is, they would make millions without it. People already pay for regular packs, just to collect their digital cards faster. Heck, the increased attention to the actual card game alone probably already offset the developing costs.

I never had one in the first place and I’ve seen way too many of them.

There’s probably another rule about him being able to join any game he wants. Kinda like you cannot hide his Xcretions.

Okay, I misread that. But two too many implies a third level, otherwise there would be no joke left.

Too many levels? …like, two? Glory holes and duck penises. Am I missing something?

Ito often works like Lovecraft, being drawn to something irrational you cannot understand is the whole point. It’s also heavily utilized in Uzumaki. The body horror is just the cherry on top.

The sensation is quite common for a lot of people, think of “l’appel du vide” (call of the void) or intrusive thoughts in general.
