I don’t know how many people vibe with this, but the PS5’s high definition super Hitachi wand rumble or whatever is literally my favorite thing about it. I can’t imagine going for no vibration at all.

No problem! There is about 40 hours of walking down a single path, but I actually like 13 a lot.

I’ve never seen google do that, by the way. That’s crazy.

The paradigm shift system also introduces this… I dunno, ducking and weaving style gameplay? It’s like you’re the director of an orchestra looking for the right musical swell at the right time.

This paradigm shifting is the same kind that you do in other games when a party member needs to stop and focus on healing, but now that you have to shift your entire team’s focus, while keeping in mind that each role really needs time and momentum to truly be effective, you end up making these real-time opportunity cost decisions about which urgent thing needs the most attention, or whether you can split your focus even though a team that can do this is much weaker at both things it’s trying to accomplish. I really like the way 13 forces you to think about party formation.

I also give it credit for establishing the stagger meter, which was such a good idea that they’ve included it in like every game since then.

That would be 13. :p

Funny enough, 13 is actually the one I’ve replayed the most. I think I’ve beaten it like 3 different times, in addition to whatever runs I didn’t finish. It’s kind of grown on me as one of my favorite ones.

Do be ready for about 40 hours of single-path walkways if you ever go back, though. I don’t actually think this is the problem some people make it out to be, but the game isn’t polarizing for no reason.

Metal Gear Solid V >:)

I bought that game day one, actually played like the first 4 missions, thought to myself “Wow, this is going to be incredible! I should wait until I have a loong weekend, hehe~”, and then never touched it again.

I am glacially making my way through the first 4 now, though.

Tonight, Australia sleeps for the first time in ten years.

Probably a few bucks. Could get a nice shirt.

Linux and… uh… GNU+Linux

Yeah, there are a lot of those people xD

I believe in you. If you fill yourself with determination, you too can use comedy to challenge people and also complain about those people canceling you loudly on NBC.

Oh, I know this video!

I remember playing it for somebody, and you could tell they were trying so hard to disagree with it in their head. I imagine they still believe it was fake, but it was funny.

This comment reminds me of when Bitcoin became the world’s dominant currency.

Do you mean the voice of Mario…?

I do not want an AI voice to puppet his corpse for the next 150 years.

The hope, I imagine, is that conservative subs are safe spaces where dissent can be controlled, and with enough purchased engagement, these posts can reach the front page where all the normal people gather.

Wow. I’m so used to this comic being presented from a left perspective that I completely missed what explodicle was actually saying.

No problem, yo!

And to be fair, communication is always two-way. It"s not like I don’t want the public to be more thoughtful in their disagreements.

Have a good one.

Okay so, this is a rhetoric problem.

This phrase here:

I disagree with the premise, the Holocaust was unique.

You lost the crowd immediately. The thrust of Walz’ position is that people should be more aware of the ubiquity of genocidal thinking, and in your first sentence, you put yourself in opposition to him.

Even though you agree with Walz later in spirit, the immediate impression is that you’re downplaying other genocides by over-fixating on the shock and horror of this one in particular, and it takes you way too long to clear up your position.

If you had phrased this as “added context” or “an additional fun fact” or “some ways in which the holocaust was unique,” it becomes much harder to disagree with you. Your audience isn’t primed immediately to be angry, and you beget much more charitability, at least from those who aren’t insane.

The trailer certainly failed at making his apparition exciting in any case.

I… completely disagree, but you know, whatever.

Oh! This was an ad! Those cocky sons o bitches.

Is that the table?

They’d probably spank him for pointing it out anyway.
