Sure, but, what does that have to do with the AI answer? Wait.. Are you an AI?
Could you really understand Trump in 2016? I'm not asking to be mean. Wasn't his character the same back then? I've tuned out of US politics since the DNC screwed over Bernie in 2016.
Only missing "and Blame it on Illegal immigrants."
Are you suggesting that Deadpool vs Wolverine is an example of good storytelling?
Edit: I found it to be entertaining enough, I expected only fan service, and I'm glad I kept it at that. But story wise? I cannot think of a marvel movie that was worse in that regard. It didn't need to, of course... I just did a double take at this being used as an example for a good story. The borderline omnipotent and omniscient antagonist wants to destroy the universe because someone didn't keep their word? groan.
I see. That's not what "security by obscurity" means in my world, but the expression certainly sounds like it could. It's not like I own the meaning of words, so it's interesting to hear what it means to others. Could also have been meant figuratively, I suppose.
In what way does "security by obscurity" apply here?
Politically motivated threat of violence? What was the term for this again?
Hadn't heard of it before. Searched for it, and came across both Path of Diablo, and Project diablo. Some polls suggested preferring the latter 2:1. I haven't played D2 in a few decades (sheesh). Any thoughts on comparing those mods?
What side of distorted reality are they going for here? It's become harder to tell. You'd think anti-Russian, right? Except Republicans are weirdly pro Putin because their orange clown has a hardon for dicktators.
Sometimes it just feels sooooo good to downvote someone, you know?
If there is ever a legitimate use for its absurd existence, it would be in an effort to stop a literal fascist.
I'd agree, if it wasn't for you having an obligation as a voting citizen to be somewhat informed of your decision. Anyone who votes for Trump has either failed to meet that basic requirement, or they're a shitty person. The latter is actually fine, the former is not.
It isn't hate. It's leaving the evil, cruel, and/or misinformed alone.
It'll keep getting worse until heads suddenly start rolling.
If so, what are you complaining about?
I believe their argument was something along the lines of: 1. Over-funded police. 2. Underfunded child care.
Your argument seems to be, and correct me if I'm wrong: It's always been shit, and you [sic] can bring your own lunch.
Gotcha. It's very effective if you want to make up stuff, and then argue that. But, in that case, don't you have better things to do?
I find it confusing why you put that in quotes, then suggest it's not necessarily their opinion, but following it up by implying that was the implied statement.
The guy just said American political literacy is embarrassingly lacking, which is far worse than what is needed for a functional democracy. Which has nothing to do with your "interpretation"
Fair enough :)
I'm trying to find good gaming experiences for wife, who has some typical non-gamer traits, but also some otherwise hardcore traits. I find it hard to make sense of it, and I'm wondering if this is the right community to get some help and suggestions.
Past gaming experience:
- Sims 2: ~1000s hours on Sims 2. Loves the design of houses and villages, rather than the psychological experience of the inhabitants.
Which is where I thought that there has to be some experience out of the huge collection of games that can be fun. Luckily, being a fan of Harry Potter, Hogwart's Legacy ended up being a big hit, and great introduction to 3rd person and open world mechanics.
I've tried suggesting games, but none really sticked. Until...
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon..... not, my idea. She was bored, and picked it at random from the list of installed games while I was away for some days. Doesn't seem to mind the difficulty spikes or dying 60 times in a row because of movement mechanics. And, it's not like I'm coaching. This is all her. I would never have thought to even suggest this game.
So, I need some help with finding suggestions, since I'm apparently a bit clueless. These are some constraints:
-
ADHD and very easily bored. RDR2 would be a great recommendation, except that the game is very tedious. It might work if one got hooked, but, I doubt it'll happen. Hogwart's Legacy got past it by the setting and world building. Horizon: Zero Dawn on the other hand is an absolute no-go.
-
First person mechanic might be a challenge. 3rd person works a lot better. Not entirely sure why.
-
Competitionist to a fault. Hogwart's Legacy was 100%-ed beyond what the game was able to properly track. If a game hooks, it hooks deep.
-
Not a fan of gore, horror, and zombie themed games. Or in general enemies who look like they are having a bad time.
-
Probably not a fan of complex game systems if one is forced to understand it. (AC6 just.. let's you fly around and shoot things, even though you really should understand all of it). It's fine to sneak in game systems after getting hooked, but not as a prerequisite. If that makes sense.
-
Strategy games and turn based games are probably not a fun time.
-
Likes pretty worlds, but not a fan of artsy 2d stuff like Gris, or the many platformers of that type. Maybe Ori might be pretty and cute enough to work. It's a weird balance.
-
Playstation 5 is what is most readily available and perhaps more importantly, low effort. Though PC could be an option.
-
Doesn't mind a challenge that would be frustrating to most people, as long as one can get back into the action immediately. She doesn't have "gaming skills", and it's fine to be punished for it, but not with tediousness. For example Hollow Knight would be a game that is 99% getting to a boss and 1% getting killed by the boss. Not very fun. So the game design also matters. Demon Souls would have this same issue. Checkpoints in AC6 is probably a big element in why that game seems to still be fun.
Edit: some more constraints
- English is not a first language. So it's a somewhat higher threshold to get drawn in by text based storytelling.

Here is what I've thought so far might be good games:
- Monster Hunter: Probably amazing if one gets past figuring out all the mechanics. I haven't played this myself.
Hm... and I'm a bit out of ideas. Suggestions?
