…the chicken is literally raw.

I get the “respect partners as people” angle but you have to at least look at the image and the community

Unless they’ve been using the same sippy cups for decades, I don’t think grandma would’ve helped with this.

While I don’t disagree, (personally, I’m not about it but people should be able to plug in to a local community for common advice of mundane things) parents also just…learned things themselves. And sometimes it wasn’t correct. I’ve spoken to my sister-in-law who told me about all the unsolicited advice she’s gotten about motherhood. And how much of it was basically superstition, not medical advice.

With climate change on the horizon, people with real, applicable skills will come around again. Because we’re gonna need them when we’re all eating roach stew and 49’ing, like nasty boys in Fallout.

Why would you do this to me

That is silly. There are absolutely brilliant people in among humanity, like gold dust sprinkled amidst sand.

I should be given uncontested control of the world’s resources for 1 year.

My opponent: the mother Gaia.

I believe that if you wouldn’t be your own current-self’s friend, then you are not your authentic self. You aren’t doing what you like or acting in ways you find enjoyable.

“Ouch.”

Yes, thank you. For some reason, I’m always surprised when trying to be evocative backfires into misunderstanding.

This one is REAL rough, not much interesting I’ve seen

Surely, you’ve heard of “tabloids”?

Yeah, it’s not trendy but I don’t think we can do trendy unless we do like I said and derive from standout games with identifiable suites of mechanics. You just have to be descriptive or accept heavy overlap.

“Auto shooter” is not very descriptive. In 10 years, someone would be having this same conversation about that term. Asteroids is basically an auto shooter because there’s no reason to not always be shooting, it’s effectively a QOL change. Some bullet hells too.

Video game genres are one of the few fields in which I’m not a prescriptivist. But survivorlikes only aren’t called RPGs because Vampire Survivor is embossed on the whole subgenre. The suite of mechanics rose to high prominence on the back of one game (or franchise, in the case of Soulslikes) rather than refined through years of experimentation.

We aren’t going to get more, simple names unless they’re similarly derived from a single, famous ancestor like your “Soulslike”. But you can always just be descriptive. Diablo/PoE are “top-down gear-grind RPGs”; it’s jargony but all subgenres are.

I’ve never seen Horizon Zero Dawn called an ARPG but that does seem to be the consensus. I’ve always considered games like that or new God of War to be “adventure games”.

No, they don’t. They both forget he exists.

It’s shapeshifting. Extendoknob dongkeys.

Are you talking about a strap-on…or what’s going on here?

Don’t tempt them. Or they’ll keep releasing Deltarune(-derivative clones) for the next 5 years

I have seen variations of the vegetable innvoation in the wild, although you can never tell when things are ironic anymore

Idk if they even really need to touch. Y’know that sorta telepath thing where you touch your forehead unnecessarily.

I think it’s just close enough proximity to do the biotic banging.
