  • Yeah it's very skill based but unlocking guns really helps out by helping with the RNG and unlocking characters also like the health tent. Finding the bonus levels is also really good since it'll get you more supplies while making the run longer.

    For sure it's not for everyone but this thread is a lot about opinions anyway so I'm leaving this one as mine since I love the feeling of overcoming seemingly impossible challenges with skill like Dark Souls, Hollow Knight and Celeste.

    I did experience the same feelings as you did and I so many times I thought "This is bullshit" but I put faith in my brain to figure it out and there was a small but noticeable difference in every 1h session. More health, more chance of beating bosses without getting hit and such. In the end I beat the high dragun which made everything worth it and somehow it's still fun and challenging to play. That's why I put it as my pick as the GOAT.

  • So to begin with all communism so far has never been democratically voted in as far as I know and pretty much starts with an ideological military government that then needs to transition back to democracy.

    Many do transition to a one party system where all democracy is contained within the party and essentially becomes a "primaries only" type.

    Then slowly over time power consolidations and purges bring it towards a dictatorship because there are no checks and balances against it.

    So it seems to me that the only way to get to the ideological communism is through democracy and constitutional changes, proportional representation and coalition governments that don't allow any one toxic pernon to consolidate power.

  • It's a bit more nuanced. Buying the stock increases the stock price which makes issuing stock a better deal for the company in case they want to expand operations. It also makes stock buybacks less likely.

    So if they issue stock OP is indirectly funding the company. If OP prevented a buyback and the money went into investments such as a new prison OP has an different effect. Otherwise there's no effect.

  • It's hard to say since it's like comparing apples to oranges when comparing different genres.

    • Action Adventure: Dark Souls 3
    • Survival crafting: Subnautica
    • Base building: Factorio (Subnautica strong second)
    • RTS: StarCraft 2
    • City builder: Cities Skylines w mods, otherwise Cities Skylines 2 probably
    • Card game: Slay the spire
    • Rougelike: Enter the Gungeon (Hades strong second)
    • Turn based strategy: Chess probably, never gets old
    • RPG: Skyrim probably, haven't played Baldurs Gate and don't remember enough about Dragon Age Origins though.
    • JRPG: Chrono Trigger
    • AFK/cookie clicker: Magic Archery (1-2 hours to complete and fun throughout), Leaf blower revolution is strong second
  • It depends on whether you treat the answer as "like a native" or "I am a native". The word native is etymologically rooted in "born into it".

    To sum up: You can speak a second language better than a native and have a proficiency of a native speaker without being a native speaker of the language.

  • I'd make a development fund and fund renewable tech, green startups, lobby politicians for policy changes like a carbon tax to pay for social programs.

    I think it's best to use the fund more or less like Bill Gates did.

  • In Iceland there are some billboards that shine like the sun and if you look at them on a red light you'll have dangerously strong after image. Needless to say I hate them, they should just use e-ink and lights if they want to automate them.

  • I use it in two ways.

    ChatGPT as an interactive search. Last one was about EU GDPR compliance checklist to give a quick answer on what areas need to be looked at. I use it like once a week for work.

    Productive in othen ways I use it once a month for recipes. Recipes are probably my favourite since I can say "Write it using grams and ml" and "give me some options to replace eggs and it writes out a legit recipe based on these millions of annoying blogs recipes.

    Jetbrains AI auto complete for programming which is getting better slowly and I'm getting the hang of using it. It's really good for cases where I have a common thing that I don't remember the syntax of and I just type a name of a variable like "cspHeaderValue" and it will format thing that's very annoying to look up based on what I some values I wrote above.

    I'm not a 10x engineer now for it, it's more like +10% overall and really depends on the task. I can see it go up to around +50% but an AI plateau might come before then.

  • Listening to the body is a rule of thumb. If you feel bad after eating/drinking something it's probably not good for you. If you cough from something in the air it's not healthy to inhale.

    It's especially true in high octane workout culture like cross-fit, if it hurts then don't continue, this is how you end up with a herniated disc.

    That being said, if you're on heroin you shouldn't listen to the body. Same with cigarettes, junk food, sugary drinks, candy etc. because the body is a dopamine whore.

  • Tarrifs are paid by the importer and cost passed on to the consumer. The idea is to make it comparatively cheaper to buy local and reduce dependency on China. The problem with it is that other countries will impose tarrifs on US exports as well so a lot of people will lose their jobs and prices go up but it will increase local manufacturing jobs on the other hand.

    Generally speaking people are better off when there are no tarrifs
