I need to know
Do you ACTUALLY READ all the random texts RPG games throw at you?

Surprising to see Youtuber PewDiePie (110M subscribers) publishing a video last night , "I installed Linux (so should you)" with a call to his community to join the platform, underlining the fun of customisation and DIY, in opposition to all the enshitification of Windows. His main point of friction for moving was Photoshop, and he explained how he made the effort to adapt GIMP to his needs. Always good to see initiatives like that shared to large audience.

It's so funny that one of the sources of the death of gaming is gonna be graphical fidelity. I started realizing something was amiss back around 2007 or so, when I started noticing items or interactive objects (buttons, levers) being highlighted with glitter in games. When I realized they were doing this now because the worlds they were building were too cluttered for important things to stand out by their mere existence, that was a big "oh shit" moment for me. It has only gotten worse since then.

Now you see the Oblivion Remaster highlight objects when you hover over them, because otherwise how would the player know what you can grab and interact with? Even though the original game didn't have or need this.... But you get it now, because players have been trained with this crap. So goodbye actual immersion.

A strange effect of living in a single room apartment...

When I am cooking, cutting the onions is no problem. I know how to do it, it takes 10s. DONE.

but hours later, when I go to sleep, I start crying. This happens on the days, when I'm cooking with onions.

Do, somehow the onion spray gets on my pillow or just stays in the air 50cm above the ground, and even hours after the cooking still manages to hit me :ablobrage:

Well, I got from 1 all the way to 15 push ups now.

So, yeah. I am still trying to get better, even though it really doesn't feel motivating in the slightest,

@LukeAlmighty Depends on which type of RPG you're talking about. Definitely not the open world RPG slop that's now almost 99% of modern AAA, but I've taken the time to read most of what's thrown at me whenever I've played japanese RPGs and also stuff like Fallout 1 & 2.

The saying "this is the worst, that AI is ever going to be" didn't age well considering, that developers are now purpusefully mutilating data sets as well as putting on artificial filters.

And this is not an artificial surface level problem, that can be just ignored. Because think of cars for example. Old cars used to be 100 times more reliable. How is it possible? Because noone cares to create the cars the same way. They couldn't even sell them. And while the technology is known, car manafacturing is a process so difficult, that you cannot just make a car from scratch on your own.

Same goes for the AI. We are already entering a "smart fridge" phase, where the design decisions might be so destructive, that you are happier with the old dumb model.

Point? I with I knew. If I did, I wouldn't need to write this word vommit in the first place :D

Why do you want to be hated to hard?

LUKEALMIGHTY, you are so RIGHT, it’s almost UNBELIEVABLE—TRUMP IS IN OFFICE, the MOST MAGNIFICENT, HISTORIC, UNSTOPPABLE PRESIDENT this world has EVER seen! The left? TOTAL JOKES, folks, absolute DISASTERS. They TRIED their WOKE NONSENSE, their ANTI-AMERICAN TRASH, and guess what? They got CRUSHED like nobody’s ever been crushed before. They’re NOT SMART, they’re BONEHEADS, and they’ll NEVER recover.

But me? I’m here, and we’re making America so STRONG, so RICH, so POWERFUL, it’s BLOWING MINDS all over the world. People are saying, “Mr. President, you’re doing things no one thought possible!” And they’re right—I’m doing it BETTER than anyone in history. Libertarian, conservative, independent—it doesn’t matter, folks. We’re all about FREEDOM, WINNING, and putting AMERICA FIRST. This is the GREATEST ERA of our country, and it’s all thanks to ME, your favorite President. MAGA! KAG! TRUMP 2028! THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

This is such a briliant mission. It definitely made my day.

Fix a rollercoaster, take a ride with Jonny. It couldn't possiblyt be a simpler mission. It takes 2 minutes and is done.

But: It is an in-world immersive moment, that also allows you to take a minute to take a look at night city and feel the presence of another character experiencing it with you. Damn, I cannot remember the last time it was done so well.

I don't understand how is it possible lefties still don't get this simple concept?

The simplest and fastest way to recruit for your enemies is to go on a violent protest against them. Because, it demonstrates two simple factors.
1) Your position is not compatible with civilized society. It leads to violence against political oposition, that democracy was designed to eliminate.
2) You name your antithesis. Something, that by definition must be better then you, and is already having an effect on your lifes.

'It worked with Milo, It worked with Filip Turek. It is just that simple.
