As someone who never planned on playing Balatro, and was kind of getting tired of seeing it on my feed the way I got tired of helldivers 2 stuff right after release.
I would happily toss a tenner to the dev for a lawyer over this.
I can't stand watching some movies because every part of the movie is just one character doing something unnatural or outright insane that nobody would ever do, and the people around them react in similarly unnatural and insane ways.
And certain old movies (especially holiday oriented ones) that lean heavily into the "everyone here is a bumbling idiot" trope crank this up to 11.
If you enjoy said things, awesome. Good for you. Keep watching them, it literally does not affect me. I'm genuinely glad you have entertainment. I just won't watch it with you.
Five) is a good one. Like "oh shit.... I fucked this one up too much, I guess I'll see how it turns out but I'm gonna start over with a new batch"
I'd love to see someone more creative with writing than me do some writing prompts with that premise. Maybe have someone from this universe ascend or something and actually confronts god as they're spending time with their newfamily creation.
六> is also a good one, it reminds me of the idea that every single person is God. And when all of humanity has finally lived and died, god will become a single consciousness and join the rest of their kind. It kind of pairs poetically with Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot.
She's college educated with a degree to teach math k-12, which just goes to show even a good education isnt always enough to make people see logic and reason.
The way I figure it, one of a few possibilities is true:
1 there is a god. He lets all the bad shit happen, and therefore isn't worthy of dedication.
B: there is no god. Shit happens. Nobody is there to be worthy of dedication.
III- there is a god. It kicked off the big bang and sat back to watch. Either it has the ability to affect positive change and doesn't, or it can't. In which case, it's still not worthy of dedication.
I like the "they became so hungry, they became cannibals to survive, and since the they can't get enough to satisfy their hunger so they look like monsters now" legend.
I'm absolutely sure there were at least four people on a crew going around to the reported ones, my point is a single person out for a stroll with a step ladder could do the same thing with barely any effort.
Incidentally, a single guy with a stepladder could totally cost the city another $1500 in about 10 minutes, and keep the crew in business.
Important to note: 3D PRINTED FIREARMS DO NOT BREAK WITH A FEW USES
Firsthand knowledge.
200-250 rounds and still going strong, inspected before and after firing every time
No damage so far.
Beyond that point, I agree with everything posted.
