Right?? Their very first point is such inflammatory bs, it's insane that they would try to prove it with that source. The most basic reading comprehension will tell you that they are making stuff up.

Most Gazans agreeing that the actions of Hamas on Oct 7 were 'correct' does not equate to those same Gazans agreeing with every single Hamas stance. Such a dumb leap to go from that to "Most Gazans want to kill every Israeli"... Pathetic, evil, pro-genocide bullshit

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

Oh shit thank you. Edited.

No no no, I think you misunderstood me. I'm saying that your link was much much better at telling the full story, and it was the other articles I read (posted elsewhere) that failed to tell the whole story. It was those other articles that were disgusting reporting.

Edit to put the link back up, because I think it's important: https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/2023-04-07/might-have-to-kill-a-few-people/

Article leaves out a LOT of relevant info about Perry's stated desire to kill protestors, the witnesses all stating that the rifle was never raised, and the state of the rifle when recovered (no round chambered, safety ON).

Thank you for this link. The first article I read on this only gave Perry's side of the story, so my first impressions were that he was an uber driver who turned a corner not expecting to see a protest, the protestors were worried about the car, and that one of them aimed a rifle at him.

Nothing about his messages about wanting to kill some protestors, nothing about the witnesses all saying that the victim did NOT raise his weapon, nothing about the rifle being recovered with no round chambered and safety still on.

Disgusting act, disgusting reporting, disgusting pardon. Thank you for your comment and link, truly.

Ehh, I give it about a 3.6. Not great, not terrible

Holy shit guys, take a breath and figure out what you're arguing about.

ME5SENGER_24's comment was technically unclear (yes I think it reads the way they intended it to, but I can see how it could be read the other way), and (des)mosthenes thought that "Most useless bunch of assholes on planet earth'" referred to the protestors, therefore thought the comment seems like it is wishing that the cops had killed 50% of them.

ME5SENGER_24 didn't realise that their comment could be misconstrued, so lashes out at (des)mosthenes and calls them "fucking stupid"

Now they're both all worked up, mad at each other, and not realising they are on the same fucking side. Just.... Take a moment, relax, try to see why someone might be confused, and talk it through. For fucks sake...

TW: suicide

Similar happened to me about 15 years ago, and it still bothers me. Mine was out of the blue though, nobody had shared anything remotely violent or gory in the team. One guy decides to share a 'funny' video with a subject line of 'always search your detainees' or something. A guy gets seated in a room by a cop, asks for some water, cop leaves, guy sits for a moment, then pulls out a handgun and shoots himself in the head. I had headphones on and still remember the sound of his last 'exhale' after dying. Fucked me up for a while.

In short, don't stand for this shit. It's no joke how much it can affect you if you aren't desensitised already, especially if you aren't expecting it.

I only get half of the references in it, but it's enough... Big feels, every time.

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

Exactly this. I think I remember an interview with the woman (yep) who originally coined the term for herself and her online support group of sorts for people who wanted to better themselves. She has had to watch it morph into what it is now.

It was my first real Sci fi book haha. Definitely a struggle but I was hooked once I started grasping even a sense of what was going on in the conceptory at the beginning.

From there, I understood what I understood, and let the other concepts flow over me in a way. Sometimes they'd click once I was a few chapters deeper and something that was discussed earlier came into effect and I'd go back and re read, other things made more sense when I read the whole thing again years later.

Reading it, I definitely didn't get the full intended effect that someone with more knowledge would have, but it still managed to stick with me for decades now and absolutely shaped my Sci fi tastes

Not quite what you're after but I absolutely love Diaspora by Greg Egan.

It's a different take on the same issues you're asking about (not at first, but it's not really a spoiler to say that it explores them whether or not it's as necessary as your examples state), a take that leans more into different forms of existence rather than supporting our current existence in a different environment (but touches on aspects of that too, kind of). It's mega-multi-generational while also not being that at all, depending on perspective.

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

Not quite what you're asking, but I once fell asleep on a long haul flight listening to a Cinematic Orchestra album with some very comfy headphones.

I woke up to a little filler / ambient track that is mostly silence with a ship's fog horn blown a few times... The cabin was dark, most people were asleep or quietly watching movies, and my half asleep brain forgot I was wearing headphones. I went from confused to creeping panic about what this horn meant and why no on else was reacting to it until I finally woke up properly

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

If every sneeze was a brain damage dice roll, I bet we'd see this kind of post about sneezing indeed

The universe is, and we are.

Which would only make sense if every human body processed every molecule ingested in the exact same way
