"Why are you eating that ice cream?"

"Because I enjoy it"

"your justification for eating that ice cream also fits well for why Ed Kemper murdered and dismembered his mother and other people"

^ this is not pointing out a mistake in a comment, this is insane.

Thanks again for your advice!

I've just beaten the scrapped watchman and I'm really enjoying it, and having the decisions streamlined by you is helping for sure. The only thing I've done differently is change the handle to the baton handle, as it's a bit faster to deliver the charged hit (which is crucial when I'm going for stagger as often as I can).

Oh damn. I thought from some gameplay I've seen that perfect blocks also worked towards staggering an enemy? Which made me think of Sekiro, just not as pronounced / focused on

This is exactly what I was after, thank you! I will probably parry too much coming from Sekiro so the Strength route sounds good - is the Sweeper as viable as the Bastard all the way through (with motivity levelling)?

I think if I'd asked a similar question for BB I would have loved it, but I was stubborn and tried to learn all of it by myself. Instead I learned that I just want to be mastering a few mechanics rather than having open ended options to dozens

I'd suggest editing that in the main post for those who don't know and don't see this comment

They found your modifications to be against the rules, and now you're buried pantsless

I'd love to be able to adjust line spacing in the body text of posts, like I'm able to do for the comments. Also, now that I'm writing this, I'm noticing that it would be nice to have that in this reply composition screen too. But maybe I just haven't found that one?

This was what I was going to add. It's basically just walking around and finding panels that have small 2d mazes on them, and solving the mazes. Sounds simple and honestly quite boring, but it quickly becomes far more special and ends up being so good.

Some of the solutions made me feel like my brain was folding in on itself before clicking into place

Ah yes, LttP... Obviously, I know what this means, but for others who don't maybe you could elaborate?

Both of the Psychonauts games had such great writing, comedy is best when interwoven with actual substance and they nailed it

Hahaha ummm yeah as for your last sentence, I finally got around to getting a diagnosis for adult adhd recently and yes, having that focus naturally demanded of your brain by something you actually enjoy doing is definitely soothing. Kinda explains all of the activities I've always been drawn to (intense games, sim racing, rock climbing, skydiving etc)

Battle Royals - for me, it's about how the consequences heighten the tension, and how the threat of getting unceremoniously smashed back to the lobby heightens the victories.

Playing with friends makes the the whole experience fun. If you drop and have some downtime 'just' gearing up, you can chat and hang out and goof around. Then when shit kicks off, it's just so much more impactful (imo) than a game where you've just died and respawned a bunch already and you can do the same again. The teamwork and communication has to be next level and it feels so damn good to win a round, especially when you've been on the back foot and had to claw your way out of tough fights.

No mind tricks, not fussed about loot boxes and skins, just awesome memories from when we where playing enough to get almost half decent at it.

....and now I'm missing Apex Legends, might reinstall and remember that my friends don't play it any more

You're not sure if murder is worse than being embarrassing and cringe for a moment?

THE UNIVERSE IS, AND WE ARE

Really changes the tone...

Yeah this setting is messy in its current state. There's no font size options for the post body text directly, but it does get affected by the "self text font" option (which should be separate imo).

That option isn't there if you use any view type other than Cards or Slides though, so you have to change view type, then change the self text font, then change your view type back. This will change the font for the post body text.

Self text font is still missing the Line Spacing option which comment font options have, though

In the sidebar, hit the dropdown arrow next to 'profile'. Or, go into your Profile and use the dropdown next to your account name

With one tiny paragraph at the end there, just to really hammer home how large the first one is

There's no way this isn't a joke.... Right?? There's no way... My brain just cannot get around this

Posted this recently on a similar but different question, may as well include it here because it fits:

Exploring an easy cave with a friend. Nothing tricky at all, just one way through, standing room all the way, about 1m wide, ankle deep water flowing through the whole way (walking against the flow).

As we went, the water very slowly became harder to press forwards against. The change was so gradual we were second-guessing it the entire time until it got really strong. We figured it was better to walk against it than with it - at this point it was rushing against our legs, and the thought of slipping and being swept through, bouncing off of the walls, was not great. It felt much easier to keep our footing facing the flow, and also it seemed like we were much closer to the end than the beginning (the cave had an exit at both ends, it was basically a small fork of a river that cut through a hill).

So we pressed on, until we got to a point that should have been a small scramble up a few bits of rock - except now there was a massive flow of water hitting us at chest level as we tried to climb it. We were both completely unable to push against it and get up. We were also now convinced that the cave was filling up with water so we had to get out - which now meant turning around and doing the whole length again but with the water hitting the back of our legs the whole way.

Oh and the water was freezing, coming off of some snowy mountains. So for about an hour, we held onto the sides of the cave and slowly tried to move steadily through, while by this point I had almost no feeling in my frozen feet to help with keeping my footing. It was like guesswork every step.

By the time we got out, the water had risen by almost a metre I'd say. Not much but the extra force was insane, and the feeling of a cave filling up with water behind you was not easily ignored. Anyway, turns out there was heavy rainfall way up river from us, always check the forecast and think beyond where you are when dealing with rivers and caves!
