Let us not forget the revolutionary idea to-- now pay attention cause this is BIG-- to prioritize player experience! Can't believe nobody has thought of that before.

What in the ChatGPT is this article? It's like someone from LinkedinLunatics paid an aspiring content writer to write a vapid hype piece but insisted that it be about 6x too long.

Here are some highlights (although it was hard to figure out which sections were the cringiest):

This new studio represented more than just a business venture; it was the manifestation of Feng's dream to create games that prioritized player experience over profit.

The team's dedication to authenticity was unparalleled. They immersed themselves in Chinese mythology, reading the classical novel "Journey to the West" over 100 times. They visited countless cultural sites, drawing inspiration from ancient architecture, art, and landscapes.

The impact of Black Myth: Wukong extended far beyond sales figures. It became a cultural phenomenon, bridging the gap between Chinese mythology and global audiences. The game's success inspired a new wave of developers to create games based on their own cultural mythologies and histories

Feng Ji: The Humble Visionary Despite the overwhelming success and adulation, Feng Ji remained characteristically humble. When asked about the game's achievements, he responded with a touch of philosophy: "When you are at the peak of confidence, you are also staring at the valley of foolishness. This statement encapsulated Feng's approach to game development and success. Rather than resting on his laurels, he immediately turned his attention to the future, focusing on expansion packs and maintaining the game's quality

Jesus christ tone it down.

Oh uh it was for a joke post I made just as a joke. I can probably just delete them now, I just forgot.

Well I wasn't gonna post all 82 but I just wanted to make sure I got the best by which I mean funniest angles. For the joke, you see.

Some of them are built so that the back doesn't fall off at all.

Classic right wing hypocrisy is all.

You could argue that American football plays quite a bit like rugby football, Gaelic football, and Aussie Rules football though. Association football is the odd one that decided you literally can't use your hands oh except the keeper and oh I guess throw-ins? Every other form of football involves handling the ball with your hands, including the older forms from which modern ones descended.

I think you're looking at it through a modernist lens; a lens through which the role of horses is virtually nonexistent, and you have exposure to a wide range of international sports with different lineages. Basketball and handball are much newer than the concept of "football," and share no history with it, so it's no surprise that they didn't wind up being called "football."

The claim isn't that everything played on foot should be called football (that would be a weird criterion, and not useful). The claim is that the group of sports called football are so called because they are played on foot, not because players are only allowed to use their feet.

It's not a super widespread idea, but Wikipedia discusses it, so it's at least not just something I made up.

Of course, they are very important!

Thank you! There are two wolves in my heart: One favors being snobby toward the way Americans say things. The other favors being pedantic about term specificity.

"Soccer" causes these wolves to fight.

"Football" is a term used to describe a wide range of field sports played on foot, as opposed to on horseback. It has nothing to do with whether or not you handle the ball with your hands.

Well it certainly gave us alot to chew on.

+1 for "it's unusably slow!"

I tried this last year with Linux Mint, and I learned that a normal USB drive just doesn't have the read/write speed to even e.g. operate Firefox smoothly. There are different ways to address that, none of which really did the trick for me, so the best bet is to just get a drive with the fastest read/write rate possible. I've heard that it can run tolerably well on one of those more performant drives, but I didn't try it myself.

Could you be more specific? Do you mean rugby football? Gridiron football? Gaelic football?

Oh! Maybe you meant association football. But that's kind of long-- maybe we can just say "asoc football" to save time.

Actually now that I think of it, people just say "rugby" instead of "rugby football," so maybe we can drop the "football" part as well, and just say "asoc."

There we go, now we have a nice, unambiguous way to refer to the style of football that we're interested in. Now I just hope the school children don't mess it up the way they did with rugby, calling it "rugger..."

Oh, that was me. I think they're being unnecessarily unfriendly in an otherwise reasonable discussion. Bad vibe.

Same experience with my relatives. I had some family whose Macbooks were no longer able to update (for Apple forced obsolescence reasons). They run Mint now, and have never had a single problem since I first set them up.

Well, one of them called me because they couldn't figure out how to attach a file to an email... But that problem would have been identical on Mac OS.

The main thing to know about Inscryption is that you wanna know as little as possible about Inscryption before you play.

Also if Inscryption works for you, check out the other Daniel Mullins games. He's got mould-breaking down to his own quirky idiosyncratic science.
