Tight gaming for those who come after

There’s a “fast” option on most zojirushis. it should take about 1 hour if you select that. Source: I’m Asian

Currently at the endgame secret boss, practicing for it once in a while. So kind of them to put a bonfire near tbh

Beleiver leaking out

Read myth of sisyphus BEFORE the stranger please. But yea camus is great

While all this is going on, I’d also like to point out that grants are being flagged for being “woke” by this anti-DEI nonsense. Grants that have to do with cancer, physics, eclipses, and so on.

DEI is just a dogwhistle.

Love QAA! Will have me cackling out loud at times

Uhh disagree with RDR2. There was an issue where I couldn’t see the game very well due to tears in my eyes. They really have to patch that out.

Remember outer WILDS, which is distinct from outer WORLDS.

Hey there! Don’t take this the wrong way, but it’s spelled gruesome. It’s hard to learn the spelling of a word you heard, or the pronunciation of a word you read. No judgement and I hope this was meaningful to you.

Speaking of megaman please do me a favour and try battle network.

Completely agreed. I think I struggled for too long in Farewell and had to turn on the assist mode (which is extremely judgement free, btw).

Can’t believe Celeste is so buried in a thread about platformers. It’s challenging but never unfair (game mechanics even weigh in the player’s favour, e.g. coyote time). A common complaint about difficult platforming is the brewing impatience from having to constantly restart, but Celeste’s reloads are so fast that this becomes a non-issue. Other than C-sides (and maybe some rooms in the hotel level), levels are small enough that you don’t have to slog through everything to get to the failure point.

Celeste is masterpiece tier for me, and I highly encourage anyone who remotely loves platforming to give it a try.

Ngl seeing nasi goreng threw me for a loop

He was a bit busy trying to not form an opinion about people who are smelly and don’t take care of themselves (yes, an actual line from Meditations)

Ideally? Have public transport that runs to these national parks. Japan has train stations that bring you right up to the foot of a mountain – I’m almost very certain that one train station requires less space than a carpark (thinking in terms of capacity here). Of course this requires a massive revamp in infrastructure, but one can wish. There are also some buses that feed into these parks, which is fantastic, give me more! As a tourist, I’ll gladly give these buses more money than whatever car rental company I have to use.

P. S. I think the immediate short-circuiting to “guess we won’t have forests” is kinda worrying.

To be fair, the national parks are really beautiful. But you need a car to even reach these parks, then drive into a massive parking lot – really depressing.

Boggles my mind when people claim that using mechanic present in the game is not playing the game “as intended”.

Who do you think put the feature there? The pesky magical game dev that spawns at 2 am to code in a mimic tear?

Hmm I’m gonna reply to this against my better judgement.

I think you’re absolutely right that inclusivity is important. You’re still skirting around two issues:

1. Queer is plenty inclusive (see my original comment). Is queer insufficient? I would love to know as well, as a queer person.
2. Being antagonistic might allow you to express your thoughts, sure. But I doubt it will allow the other person to internalise anything meaningfully.

You’re also right that it’s no one’s job to police how you use terminology. I think the rest here are taking issue with how you are communicating this (and ironically enough, policing others on terminology).

Either way, I think it might be worth examining why the response to someone’s ignorance felt so visceral and rage-fuelled. Not saying it’s a bad thing, we could all use more inclusivity in our lives! But hopefully we could take a step back and ask ourselves why do we react a certain way? It’s a good exercise to understand ourselves a bit better.

Have a nice day, yea. And have an upvote too! Sick of the downvotes in this thread.
