"This is human nature"

Looks inside

19th century anglo customs.

I generally advocate for the complete opposite, as a person with AuDHD and a lot of executive dysfunction:

If an activity has value, then it is worth half-assing.

If you can go whole hog on it and do it with full effort, great! -- But you are often better off doing it kinda half-assed, knowing full well you didn't put your all into it, then you'd be if you just didn't do it because you can't do it "properly" and felt bad about it.

Be it work, schoolwork, cooking and eating, cleaning, self-care things. Whatever.

If it is an activity that has any value, it will still have more value when half-assed then it would have if you felt guilty for your inability to do it whole-ass and then just didn't do it.

Would be among the first to suggest a reddit-defederation pact to be honest.

Kinda like how peeps on Mastodon/Misskey/etc. have their anti-threads pact.

I don't do much ponehposting on Lemmy (except when I get commissions of my OCs, or when it's a meme with an incidental ponie like this one) because like... Idk, I generally go to Derpi to look at MLP fandom stuff and I never really felt up to just copying content over from other sites to Lemmy. But hey, we do have an mlp community at !mlp@pawb.social

YES. The "spectacle-" particle should be used for a lot of game subgenres, to be honest.

So ULTRAKILL? Spectacle-Shooter. Sonic the Hedgehog? Spectacle-Platformer

Any title where the point is to be _stylish and get a nice flowing combo going.

"Spectacle Fighter".

In the late aughts, game critic Ben "Yathzee" Croshaw came up with that term to describe games like Bayonetta and Devil May Cry, beat-em-up type games where the point is less "can you get through" and more "how high can you get that combo meter? How COOL can you make yourself look while beating up all these fodder enemies?"

A few years later the industry coalesced on an agreed-upon term for this subgenre -- And called it "Character Action".

Yathzee has just accepted defeat and uses the term everyone uses, he has to, he works in games media.

I refuse. Character Action is a dumb, DUMB term because every action game is a character action game, because there is ACTION and CHARACTERS in all of them.

Whereas "Spectacle Fighter" was perfectly descriptive of just WHAT made those games special. You are FIGHTING, and the objective is to LOOK SPECTACULAR.

Anarkitty

Playing as the Nazis (... And trying to WIN for that matter) is a boring playstyle for boring people

The fun part is to pick a random country that was basically a punching bag throughout the war and see just what you can do with it.

Bat horse

Rats have a lifespan of 2 years, how do you hold a grudge against something that is less durable than a tube of ketchup?

I didn't.

I just said they're weird.

Because, well, allo behaviour is 100% incomprehensible to me.

If asexual people ever gain public visibility, you can get ready for the Worst People Ever™ going online to say "allosexual is a slur"

Hard times

(Happiest days of my life)

Hard times gone by

Ocean world? I hardly know er!

Allosexuals are weird.

True on all accounts.

Also fun aside -- Evaporative coolers are sold under the name of "refrigerating fans" here, a sort of "alternative" for someone who can't afford an AC (or can afford the machine but wants/needs to save on the power bill).

The percentage is just a quirky way of saying it's a high chance, dw about it.

Not even central A/C here. Just Split units on the bedrooms/home office -- But it already makes life so much more bearable

I live in a tropical humid place that regularly gets 40+Celsius temps even during "winter" (it is currently "winter")

But I can afford air conditioning. A lot of people in my country cannot, and have just an electric fan and a lot of water to get them through the days.

Hey you're like seven steps ahead of me.

I only entered the phase of hating society instead of myself when I was like twenty-three.
