I think basically everyone’s first experience mirrors yours - it feels impossible, like you’ll never be able to beat that piece of shit.

But now you know the mechanics and with more experience it will be just like any other boss (albeit it actually makes you think more about what you play on a particular turn)

If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by

I bought a second hand Aeron right at the start of Covid, banking on the fact I’d probably need it. I have been permanently remote work since and it’s been one of my best investments. It was very expensive and also very worth it.

Don’t have to imagine. Heaps of cases from suicide to poisoning yourself with sodium bromide

I feel like they’re pretty few and far in between here at least. More likely to get laughed at and heckled by the general population (because why would we give a fuck about MAGA). And at least they don’t shoot anyone

Yeah but you forget, the laws of mathematics don’t apply here.

So clearly Australia has some strong influence such that they could pull this off!

Chuck Palahniuk’s Guts? Or is that actually a real story?

1000xRESIST

Highly recommended

In a game full of beautiful and heart-wrenching moments this destroyed me

Tower Wizard is really good. If you want a taster of the style, the dev has a previous game Magic Archery which is 100% free (no microtransactions), just a very good, short, incremental game.

I quite like Busuu after switching from Duo. Still hanging out for a Japanese Language Transfer course

Two lefts don’t make a right… but three do

That was great, the end killed me.

I like this one too https://youtu.be/WtPQ2pxMHEU

I will never understand why people want to eat this godforsaken fish

I had to retake one of my university units over the summer after failing the final exam. It was the most embarrassed I think I’ve been to tell my parents, as I’d always been pretty solid with schoolwork.

In the end everything ended up perfectly fine, parents didn’t give a shit (I was an adult after all) and it made no difference to my future career prospects at all.

So you don’t like turn based games? Unless I’m misunderstanding

You might like FF7 Remake, the combat is sort of a hybrid where it’s mostly realtime but you can give commands via a turn menu mid combat too

Bang on, just a pity so many game devs are still pretty lazy with the support (I get it, it’s still a pretty niche aspect)

It happens even if you ask how many “r”s are in “strawberry”. It’s a well-known AI gotcha that happens on most if not all current models. The typo in the original post is a little misleading and not that relevant.

Yeah but the money’s partly going to Blizzard so yeah…

Aren’t China the ones making the chips in their foundries? What’s to stop them from not exporting the chips to US hardware manufacturers in retaliation? Are there any AI chips being made in the US?

I always think of THPS3 as a PS1 game, didn’t even know it had online MP
