Billionaires should not be considered individuals when they have the resources to purchase plots of land larger than cities, among many other reasons.

You.

I like you. Keep doing you.

Edit: you got the tag ‘Genuine Red-Blooded American’

Yeah this is all dogshit advice, I just need to say that: I doubt there are kids reading this, but fucking hit your bully. It’s bullshit for a little bit but it will solve the problem.

Uh… relevance?

Yes people traveling typically need food

I think that romance in video games is… well it’s just like romance in any other medium. It exists to paint a picture in your head of what love looks like, because that’s something they can sell to you.

If you want a game with natural feeling, organic romance then that’s going to be the game. Full stop, simply having a cast of 10 characters already makes this very complicated.

You mean a dense protagonist harem anime?

🤣🤣

My balls do that normally anyway, and the doctors won’t tack them because I always manage to turn it back the right way by the time they see me.

Freeball is love, freeball is life. No more overheated nuts.

Canadians put syrup on their weed?

What Godless creatures

Ok, let me create a separate hypothetical:

You have a society that really likes ultra processed food. I mean really likes ultra processed food, to the point of addiction. There are other things that society is addicted to, but we’ll fixate on food for now.

Let’s say you take ultra processed food away from that society. Or any other harmful addictive thing. What do you think happens to their overall satisfaction in life?

It is the objectively correct decision (at least before enough regulations are put in place that ‘ultra processed’ doesn’t also mean ‘packed with chemicals’). Let’s say you assess life satisfaction after an event like this. What would their answers be? Would they be true or would they just be the thrashings of addicts?

My point is that I think if you ask a heroin addict if they’re satisfied with life, their answer will depend on how long it’s been since a needle has gone in their arm. I don’t think the average person is actually capable of guaging their level of satisfaction in life, not to say that the average person is a heroin addict.

By what metric do we judge happiness?

Is it wealth? Is it things owned? Is the happiness a serial hoarder feels when they get a new thing the same as the happiness of seeing your first child born?

I’m starting to think we’ve gone too far when it comes to validating feelings.

About as comfortable as plastic wrapped in a thin sponge can be

That makes it all the more worth it

:(

I don’t disagree that comparing DMC and the old GOW games is fair — they occupy the same space. Reducing a soulslike to dodging and parrying is just wrong, though. Actually reducing a hack and slash to aggression and dodging is also wrong, see Royal Guard.

Freedom of movement, build options (you are free to turn yourself into the heaviest thing in existence compared to a gymnast, and that’s only discussing equip load), map design, the robust lore as opposed to a traditional narrative, these are staples of soulsbourne games. DMC3 has a harder parry than any soulslike in Royal Guard — does that make parrying a staple of the series? Yes, it does — Royal Guard is cool as shit.

I can go on for a while about why new GOW is more of a movie than it is a game.

Uh, while comparing DMC and GOW is wrong, calling GOW an over the shoulder soulslike is… almost more wrong.

That being said, Ragnarok was a step down from the first GOW reboot, with GOW being a great starting point with the promise of Ragnarok (which was just disappointing imo).

And the story… Jesus christ I would have preferred an absent soulslike story.

You toy with powers greater than any God, Jesus christ where are you getting the energy from?

It’s funny because I recently had an argument including a bunch of .mlers about how words aren’t really ‘reclaimed’ if there are still a large amount of people who consider the word an insult.

Guess they agree with me.

No, no — now repeat after me:

Men are bad.

Unless you’re a man at which point:

Women are bad.

I hope I helped.
