In times like these we can probably turn to the WWE to draw upon more creative synonyms.

If they want to make healers engaging, they can just add a system of short (but highly effective) buffs for you to cleverly weave in between your heals depending on the situation. Some healers in DAoC had a blade-turn buff that worked as a protective bubble that fully absorbed the next hit, regardless of how much damage it would have done. The Warden class was a fairly weak warrior, but it had a pulsing version of the spell that just ran idly in the background, ticking every six seconds at its highest level. That shit was awesome.

Having some sort of damage is obviously needed to level a healer while questing and such, but I'm with you in not wanting to fucking DPS while healing. Had zero interest in healers in FFXIV for this exact reason. Let me focus on heals while occasionally dropping a quick damage buff on the DPS, a shield or blade-turn on the tank, and maybe a pass mana regen on myself or the mages.

That's honestly pretty bog-standard. That's a term I learned on here a few days ago.

Ah, I've got one of these due this month, but the Canada Post strike is going on. I still don't know who signed me up, but I've been getting this joke mail for months now.

Pretty cunty meme.

Whenever I book flowers for work, there is one at the very bottom called "Flowering Planter 7in Ass". For years now I've laughed every time.

I loved the six hours or so that I played, but have tabled the game until the A-life is (hopefully) fixed, the mutants are better balanced, and (hopefully) the timescale can be adjusted. Bonus points if they can stop my cutscenes/dialogue events from dropping to 10 FPS. But I want to be playing it and I think about it a lot. Until then, I've started over fresh in Anomaly and will patiently inhabit the Zone there.

That's fantastic if it's true. It was my favorite film growing up and the reason my family got a few pugs in the late-90s/early-00s (Holy shit, did the poor things have problems). But I've read time and time again that animals were hurled off cliffs, had their feet broken to force limping, etc. I never stopped loving the film itself, but it certainly cast a very dark shadow over the entire production.

Edit: Marked unproven (the animal abuse) on Snopes and basically appears to be a giant "who knows?" at this point, given the evident suffering seen in some of the shots (cat howling in pain with a crayfish hanging from its lip, being thrown from a sea cliff into the ocean, etc.), but despite tons of articles about it during the '90s, too much time has passed to really paint a clear picture anymore.

STALKER and The Elder Scrolls probably hold the record. I may have wasted even more time in my life on World of Warcraft, but I feel like that doesn't count since you're just in a fucking trance for several years until you finally break away.

Solid movie. Just... fucked up that they made it.

I used to make these in the bathtub all the time as a kid.

I pay the yearly subscription for Sync Pro, and I consider it a donation more than anything. I've gotten so many years out of that app, and the developer choosing to repurpose it to Lemmy made my transition here almost seamless from reddit.

Did the scientists at least think the worms were getting better on the drums?

I feel like I need to see pics of the parking situation/attendance on the street. Like, yeah.. Lights are fun and that sucks, but also.. this must have been a pretty big fucking problem if it warranted this kind of response. Article says the show would end after 20 minutes and immediately an entirely new crowd would filter in to replace the previous one. Sounds like lot of vehicles waiting to get in to view it in a residential neighborhood not designed for that kind of volume. I'd probably bitch to the council too after several years of enduring that.

At least Dave got rid of that reverse Flock of Seagulls piece of shit.

Brain fart, I guess.

I can't fully articulate the reasons why, but I dislike the entire speed-running culture. I've always been someone who sinks as deeply as I possibly can into the environments that games provide, placing a lot of value on carefully crafted details, flora, object clutter and ambience.

Speed-running is essentially the exact opposite of this, and it takes what was intended to be an enjoyable escape and gamifies it beyond recognition. It becomes a sweaty, disgusting mess of button mashing, sprinting, wall-glitching, exploitation, and a bastardization of mechanics. I definitely get why some people find this interesting, but I just can't find the off-switch for how much I hate watching it. It's in a similar ballpark as extreme min-maxing in modern MMOs, where people get so addicted to arbitrarily raising numbers by the smallest margin that the game itself just evaporates into the background.

To me, it's like someone took art, sucked the creative soul out of it, and turned it into a math game.

For anyone who has been to the Yukon Territory and gazed upon its majesty, King Charles can get fucked. That province may as well be a wild horse. Even Alaska is a giant let-down by comparison.
