This guy’s name is dollar bill?

Moving the goal posts 😥

Yeah American Cheese the product is some crazy shit. You should try some artisan cheese from Wisconsin, though. World class stuff over there. I had a 15 year cave aged cheddar from there once and I’m still thinking about it to this day.

No arguments from me. When can we start?

American here. Can we come too?

No offense to nebula (I’m rooting for them) but unless you exclusively watch news and educational content it basically has nothing to offer. I tried it for a year and I ended up barely using it because I don’t watch that type of content.

Damn you aren’t kidding! It’s written weirdly past tense, too, for an article talking about a brand new game. “It became a cultural phenomenon”.

Some platforms offer better prices in exchange for a one-year subscription commitment, but tiered discounts based on subscriber loyalty are much less common.

It’s literally the opposite most of the time. The longer you stay the more expensive it becomes.

As far as I can tell that only shows communities on my own instance, or all communities everywhere. What I’m looking for is a way to browse communities on a different specific instance.

To give an example, I was browsing all posts and saw a post from french instance jlai.lu. I was hoping there was a way to find a list of all their communities somehow.

This has been bothering me too. Its such a nothing statement with no suggestion of how this would be accomplished behind it. Like sure, technology is likely to continue advancing, but it may not even resemble these current implementations by the time we get there.

This guy’s entire argument playbook seems to be “I know you are, but what am I?”

Is snark an emotion?

Why let the model go to waste?

Agreed. I remember joining that one at some point and I left so fast. Completely vapid.

I absolutely love online lunatics like this (and also they have way too much time on their hands 😅). Gaming wouldn’t be the same without 'em.

Absolutely. And I believe we can both laugh at the stupidity of the leadership while feeling sympathy for the devs who were just doing their job (likely thanklessly). It doesn’t need to be picking a side.

Very true. It sounds like a project from hell honestly.

I always feel bad for the devs with these situations. I’m sure there’s so much art and effort put into this game even if it sucked, and those people who made it now don’t even get to show it off in action. Even if the final result sucked, it still sucks for those people who worked hard on elements of it.

I think having multiple things change with difficulty is good just as you say. I was focusing only on raising health because that was the joke in the comic.

Totally. It’s a hard problem of course. Everyone wants an experience that’s right at their personal edge, but that’s different for every player.

I hate bullet sponges, but I do think this joke gets too reductive for my taste. There are many games where enemies die so fast on easy mode that you don’t get to experience whatever mechanics they have. By increasing health it can have the impact of revealing those mechanics that already existed.

It has to be a reasonable increase that doesn’t turn into a slog though.
