People getting nuked is the scenario you’re describing as weird to not be excited for.

“If weak to fire then cast Fira”. You don’t even need to have your characters learn the weakness first by scanning them, they just intuit every weakness.

Yoko Shimomura is actually my favorite JRPG composer. She did Kingdom Hearts, Mario RPG/& Luigi, and Radiant Historia before this game.

Her combat music always stands out to me in particular for being emotionally unconventional. Everybody else makes a battle theme and all that’s on their minds to convey is “cool and/or scary that violence is happening, throw in some grandiosity if it’s a big one” but she’ll do stuff like “the enemy is the panicked one here; they’re trying to front like they’re badass but actually I weep for them” or “you are losing a nonverbal rap battle.”

XV actually let me down a bit in that specific regard but the soundtrack as a whole is very solid.

It’s got a beautiful flow when you say it out loud, though.

Anything with a subtitle that isn’t a sequel or licensed game.

• Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
• Blood Omen: The Legacy of Kain
• Condemned: Criminal Origins
• Immortals: Fenyx Rising

That sort of thing.

While I don’t disagree with the sentiment, exo means outside.

The argument against cars also holds that people should live in places where cars aren’t necessary to avoid hermitude in the first place. You don’t need cars to socialize if you can walk to where people are, you don’t need cars for supplies if you can walk to where stuff is.

Long distance travel can have non-car solutions but also it shouldn’t be the default distance to be away from society.

A lie about having a girlfriend that spiraled so far out of control that it made the world a better place.

Spoilers for the newest game.

Other people writing it for you and the openness with which I heard many other students discussing that they weren’t writing their own stuff.

I am entirely certain that it’s the same amount of cheating as it always was and the only thing that changed is that AI is how they’re doing it.

I’m down for anthology series by default.

Make sure to get a pair that actually fit your head. They shouldn’t squeeze your temples, the ear bends should actually be on your ears, they shouldn’t slide around on your nose.

I wore glasses for like twenty years before I finally realized the source of every single problem I had with them was actually me picking the wrong frames and not inherent issues to glasses. Now that I’m aware of it I notice other people wearing ill-fitting glasses all the time.

Radiant Historia

The enemies are placed on a grid and your characters have abilities that can move them around or place traps on certain squares, plus as part of the game’s time travel theme you can reorganize the upcoming turn order. Use those together and you can arrange the absolute sickest combos, knocking everyone into a big cluster and then wailing the shit out of that cluster.

Just be sure to play the original DS version and not the enhanced 3DS version with new art, voice acting, and story additions that ruin the tone.

I went to look for examples and didn’t find as many as I expected. It’s not unheard of but you’re right, it’s notably uncommon.

New peripherals coming out late in a system’s life isn’t unusual.

This was done by an actual bullet. Other people present were also shot.

Trump’s pretty crazy but I don’t think he’s “plan to intentionally get grazed by a bullet” crazy.

1. Correct. The belief that one person is lying is an inherently more reasonable position than believing that a group is conspiring against you. Individuals lie all the time and for all sorts of reasons.
2. If I believed you incapable of critical thinking I wouldn’t be pushing you to exercise more of it. Everybody is emotional and everybody is vulnerable to emotional manipulation. That’s why journalists’ bosses push them to write sensationalism, that’s why the algorithms push sensationalism to the readers. Everybody involved is incentivized to be dishonest because dishonesty works.
3. I didn’t say it was an advertisement, I said seeing it as an advertisement is not unfounded. You didn’t tell Auzy you disagreed with them when you brought it up in this thread, you said they were crazy for thinking it.
4. This bullet point needs further breaking down:

In order to make a post, one needs to personally endorse both the source and content,

When one makes a post without any commentary that separates one’s perspective from that being shared, one already has endorsed both the source and the content.

because by sharing the wrong articles that you found interesting that other people might like to discuss here on this forum, you may be promoting capitalism.

It’s not that you’re promoting capitalism, it’s that you’re extending its reach. If you do not impose your own standards that are separate from those that brought the content to you then the only standards involved are what is profitable for somebody else.

Sharing unique reports from a small political fringe site like thefreethoughtproject.com that are unreported in other sources is a form of promoting capitalism, while in general sharing journalism from large news corporations like the New York Times, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times does not promote capitalism.

I never named any sources, let alone comparing their relative validity. I’ve never heard of your small political fringe site until this thread and have no idea how legitimate or illegitimate it is. But what I’m asking you now is, how did you come to hear of it? My belief so far, as I’ve already stated, has been that you’re sharing things that you saw on social media and you’ve rather conspicuously not denied that. Why do you think you were shown a small political fringe site?

Is it a good source? Is it a bad source? The decision to bring it to your feed was not made by an entity which distinguishes between those two concepts, it only knows your patterns of past behavior and looks to inspire reactions from you. What kinds of reactions? It doesn’t care about that, either. If you spread to others what it spreads to you uncritically, you are extending that fundamental disregard for meaning. But you have the disadvantage of being a human being. People will anthropomorphize the algorithm by projecting your face onto it, read intentions into your words.

So try actually having some intentions for a change.

That’s not how stats work.
