I thought it might have been something like that but I didn’t know if you were actually older or were just a cat hoarder lol

Thanks for the TL;DR. The title led me to believe the post was going to be clickbait built off a nothingburger and it seems I was right.

It’s like some people forget they are also just people and all people do things. Not everything they do is related to autism.

Thats not what they said.

You’re the one assuming things I never said. I asked how many they had at one time. Obviously, that entails ownership of cats distributed over time.

I’m sorry but 15 cats is a lot of cats. It’s a bit doxx-y (so feel free not to answer) but how many were you housing at one time?

I don’t love the cat. We’re housemates.

I don’t smell the cat’s breath because we’re not close like that. I’d appreciate it if you stayed away from my cat as well.

This feels like a shitpost that idiots misappropriated as a real method.

Why would you want a method based on a famously developmentally-challenged child? It isn’t “dogged perserverance despite setbacks”; it’s “he’s literally too stupid to evaluate his process and teach himself a better way to solve even the simplest tasks.”

I don’t think making her yet another dynasty would fix the Sequel series in any way.

87. Where did it show the maximum?

That wasn’t a question, though.

You also didn’t hear about it because it’s not great. I watched a stream of it: the gameplay looks uninspired, like a student project to mimic Burnout, and the visuals would have looked dated in 2010.

But it was functional. So it’s neither good nor bad enough to rave about. You just say “huh”, flip a coin, and either uninstall forever or play every 7 months when you remember it’s on your hard drive.

You are in essence gatekeeping enjoying a video game as a concept. Like people must enjoy them the way you envision.

What an incredibly inaccurate statement. I love modding video games, I spend more time modding video games than I spend playing video games. I understand that the vision developers have doesn’t often align with what I want from their product.

I don’t agree that developers should be spending dev cycles making a game functional for a user that turns off any configuration of gameplay mechanics.

Saying you can just set a variable from “true to false” is so laughably misunderstanding what goes into software development much less game development that it sounds entitled. What gameplay mechanics are you even saying should be configurable? All of them? Just turn off the combat in a fighting game? At what point is a gameplay mechanic integral to the genre/experience? And who is the person or persons that decide?

Developers should be free to create what they want, and the end user is free to mod it however they want. That includes, for the devs, not purposefully obfuscating things so that modding is more diffcult.

I disagree because it solely approaches games as some sort of “electronic commodity” and outright despises a development group’s artistry.

Sure, not every game is trying to be art. But games have long gone beyond the realm of simply “entertain me”. That opinion is like saying “books should be made in a way that allows users to change the story whenever and however they want.” It is something you can do but there’s no imperative to cater to it.

The book gives you examples of how DCs should translates to the world. Is this vaulting a head high wall, climbing a crumbling 2-story building, or scaling the outside of a tower in a storm? That need to know the number is only a problem when the table lets numbers replace story.

“You back up to get a running start and trip on a misplaced cobblestone just before you reach the wall.” = you rolled a 2 and failed

“You latch into the crevices between bricks and skillfully clamber up until the window is within sight. There is only a one, last leap to make, when the brick beneath your anchor leg crumbles and gives way. You landed winded, but someone else might now chart a better route.” = you rolled an 18 and only just failed

“You built as much speed as you could and manage to launch up against the rain-slick tower but your fingers fail to find any purchase, and you scrabble helplessly back to the ground.” = You rolled a 19 and weren’t even close to a success

Yeah, people that want to be their D&D characters are probably skewed by happy memories of a world that might occassionally challenge them but ultimately wants them to enjoy themselves and be the hero/protagonist.

That is to say, a fantasy world.

I think we should see what it’s priced at before we start making proclamations about the Steam Machine being the “standard gaming PC”.

Oh, I’m not diagnosed (I have a host of other things I would spend my nonexistant healthcare fund on first) but I have suspicions. It’s not debilitating, because I’ve been doing it for a couple decades now, but it sure isn’t ideal.

How can leakers confirm anything? Some fourth-party leaks confirmed that third-party leaks were legit? If I was going to believe “leaks” without material proof, I’d have started with the original, third-party.

What is “it”? I can’t trace that back to my comment.
