I like that, suddenly is sudden to the listener, all of a sudden is surprising to the story’s characters, and makes the listener anticipate that surprise without being able to warn them about it

My cats simply act like it’s not happening, no concept of what’s going on. Or any of Marvin Gaye’s other albums for that matter.

I find the biggest difference in itch scratched between Diablo-like ARPGs and Halls of Torment is that the pacing is very different. Diablo has a lot more player control over when there are breaks in the action providing downtime for the player to sort through gear and abilities. Halls of Torment sort of has that when you’re making choices, but it’s waaaay faster

It has a bit of resemblance, in that it’s a dark fantasy action game in which the player character fights a very large number of enemy units in order to level up and increase their power while fighting bosses interspersed throughout, occasionally upgrading abilities and acquiring gear. and of course the art style is directly cribbing Diablo 1.

But in the nitty gritty of how the combat works, how the gear and abilities work, the format of the levels and win condition of the game and pretty much everything else, it’s very different from Diablo.

Personally I’m on chrome on mobile, so when I’m on that page I can just hit the star up to the right of the web address and it will bookmark it.

I actually set it as my homepage so I can just hit the home button and it takes me there, if you’re also on chrome you should be able to tap the little box icon up there that shows how many tabs you have open, then hit the three dots icon and go to settings, then tap homepage and you can paste in the link

For me, it’s this link: https://fedia.io/sub/threads/newest

This filters it by only my subscribed magazines, and then sorts them by newest

Personally I ended up bookmarking the newest page and just using that

That’s a good example. You simply can’t grasp optimal choices or know possible events and outcomes before going through it a great deal of times, and it’s likely that you’ll get killed too fast to experience much if you start on normal. You definitely end up switching to normal as you improve, learn, and unlock, but it really benefits and smoothens the learning curve to start easier.

Playing on easy doesn’t mean you don’t want to play. Or at least, that’s not my personal experience when I put games on easy, which is not always.

I’ll throw out two examples. Age of Empires 2. I suck ass at real time strategy, so I put the bots on easiest. What this gives me is the experience and feeling of building up my faction, gathering resources, making upgrades, feeling later like those upgrades were smart (which I wouldn’t get on harder difficulties as my actual poor choices would backfire and punish me), and then I get to conquer my enemies with my large army.

I still got to build something up from nothing, create a satisfying army, utilize what I made to conquer. I got something out of it that I wouldn’t have if I played on normal. I would’ve struggled and likely lost. I might’ve just as likely actually risen above the challenge and came away with a more satisfying, but hard fought win, but I have challenging and hard fought wins at work every day. I don’t need that in a genre I’m only a tourist in at home. I have Monster Hunter for that.

I put Gundam Breaker 4 on easy, the combat is satisfying on a surface level, but too precise and finicky as the challenge rises. I enjoy the combat still, on a smaller scale, but I moreso enjoy acquiring gear and making a Gundam that looks a certain way. The things I enjoy more about the game are facilitated by easier combat, I can get to those parts more easily, but still enjoy the combat.

Big ups for Everything You’ve Come to Expect

I love this series. First played 4 Golden on the Vita, and it was really something that connected with me. I loved the combination slice of life and intriguing mystery, and the characters and voice acting really drew me in. It took me years to actually finish that game, and I’m about halfway through 3 Reload and 5 Royal as well.

However, biggest thing we need to mention here? The soundtracks. Holy fucking shit, these games have the best OSTs I ever damn heard, as someone who plays bass and loves acid jazz and other adjacent music every game hits the spot in different ways.

Dead Cells released in a state that felt pretty complete to me, so I just appreciate all the extra content, especially the free updates. It’s a game that’s so good I’m glad it got such loving support, because the core is so fantastic that I really did just want some more levels and items to increase replayability.

I think it’s okay for it to end now. I’d also think it was okay if the devs kept going, but it’s in a place where it’s got enough content that it can end here and I’m okay with that.

Ohhh, yeah, that is a sort of unique issue. Even then each one would have different vote and boost counts as well as unique comments sections. I think with a clever enough UI you could still work it out, though.

I don’t think there are technically dupes. You could have multiple communities across different instances all called “gaming”. But that wouldn’t mean they all share the same rules and posting formats, etc.

They’d basically be like different subreddits. So you could potentially create a multireddit, but not truly merging “duplicate” communities.

You display the problem with that system in your own comment through your wording of “should be”. Everyone knows what downvotes and upvotes should be, but due to their intent being unenforceable they just become “that person liked or didn’t like this for reasons beyond my knowledge and understanding”

I always figured he would plant one in a real store, take a picture, and then the rest were for people to actually buy.

Mocking someone because they don’t understand a reference. Very Reddit of you

I think you should try piano in a way that works better for you. Piano is not too difficult, you press a key and a tone comes out. Keyboard will let you get so many different sounds, too, and keyboard is fun to play with other instruments or alone.

You need to get the fuck out of there, there’s more to life than being suffocated by your parents. Don’t let them have the last laugh, the biggest fuck you you can give them is to escape their obvious need for control.

I can’t pretend like that’s easy or that I would know how, but you’ve got to explore everything you can possibly do to be removed from that situation. By your description it sounds like they’re doing things that are likely legally abusive. If you can get out of there just imagine how much better your life can be out from under their thumb.
