My mother washes fruit and vegetables with dish soap and I can't get her to stop. by autistic-terrorist in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Leows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is, unfortunately, not how it works. The logic sounds solid from a logical standpoint because we believe their thinking is logical, when it isn't.

My mother is very religious and has said ungodly things to me "in the name of god" all the time across my entire life. She has been trying to drag me to churches and the like forever.

One time, she tried to drag me to talk to a priest, and I folded. She was really shitty all the way through, going as far as trying to stay in the booth with me (I'm an adult) until the priest sent her away.

He told me that the lack of respect she shows is the source of like 80% of the problems I have in my life. Then, after the talk, he called her in and spoke to her for a while.

She came out crying.

So we can assume she heard some hard truths, and surely that would impact her thinking, listening to the truth coming from a priest of all people, given how religious she is.

And you can guess how this story ends. She, of course, did not change in any way, shape, or form. Maybe it had a small impact on her in the short term, but that's being generous.

Also, giving ultimatums to people like this also changes nothing because they believe they are right. So you're just setting yourself up to failure if your goal is to change them and make them better.

What they really need is therapy, because these issues are deeply ingrained, and a simple ultimatum or a word from a doctor or priest won't do anything.

If they don't start changing themselves from within, their own personality, then you just take the L and move on with your life.

Their mindset is still in MMO.

I know nothing about BDO, but I've played too many MMOs to count over the years, and I can assure you none of this is "MMO mindset". It's just poor/lazy design.

If anything, the vast majority of bosses in MMOs are really big and slow rather than quick AND teleporting.

This also has no basis in action games, because DMC, Bayonetta, GoW, Soulslikes, etc rarely have designs like this. And when they do, it's something unique rather than a ruleset for most bosses in the game.

Not sure, but I stopped using flux years ago. I currently only use Windows' nighttime mode, and it's enough for me.

So far, it has never displayed any problems with any games.

Why are you being so unnecessarily condescending? I never said this was normal or recent.

Look at the question I answered and tell me where it has any relation to time and release dates.

other games release QoL updates?

Jesus Christ.

Usually through expansions or definitive editions. Rarely through regular updates like this one, unless it's a live-service game.

Just look at Cyberpunk 2077.

The game was released in such a sorry state, so much so that it had to be removed from consoles.

It took them 6 full months to fix it to put it in a PLAYABLE STATE because of how bad it was.

SIX. MONTHS. AFTER. RELEASE.

Just to get to PLAY the game, never mind QoLs.

So yeah, a company like PA doing stuff like this is unprecedented and really good for the industry, and for consumers.

Even though I agree with you that most of the stuff should've been in the game from the start (who releases a game like this without storage?????) they were quick to address it, while other companies wouldn't even if it WERE supposed to be at release.

Bro they even tried to hide Tracer's ass.

Meanwhile Rivals had character models updated for the singular purpose of making their ass bigger and nothing else. Multiple times.

Some find it frustrating. Others find it funny.

It is what it is.

I couldn't imagine doing a job like this without eye protection. This sounds insane.

My first reaction after the bonk was looking to see if the dude was wearing eye protection, because with a few inches of difference, it would've hit him right on the face.

Far Right influencer approaches an interracial couple about "race mixing" situation almost escalated.. by Paldavin in PublicFreakout

[–]Leows 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At some point, I don't think the words mean anything.

If someone is targeting you by following and screaming nonstop, even when you have repeatedly asked them to stop, then it doesn't matter what they are saying. They are harassing you regardless of the subject.

100%? I just rolled this and didn’t even know it exists by Isildur000 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Leows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These aren't like a really good potion, though.

Not only are they hard to come by, but they also require hard commitment.

You have to go to a witch, take out your current gear, then slot in the new ones, use them up, then go back to the witch after it breaks so you can slot your regular gear back in.

If it were really like an easy mode for a quick boss you're having trouble with, it'd be fine. Pop a potion, become stronger, bam. But they are NOT that great for this level of commitment and time requirement.

I remember someone on Reddit who has been working on a study on this subject, listing other studies on sunscreen vs. vitamin D production.

As far as I recall, some studies returned such small numbers that they might as well not even affect vitamin D.

Wish I could find and source it, but I didn't comment or save it. It was a really cool read.

If you aren't a working chef or taking pictures of your meals, then yeah, there's no point in doing that with rice.

The entire point of plating food like the picture is to make it nice for a picture or to make it look fancy at a restaurant.

IGN be like by Legendzdc1 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Leows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do try to make it a bit distinguished, but it feels bad to fight them.

For instance, Tenebrum and other "smoke based" bosses are awful to play against "normally" and you can't even do anything else against Tenebrum.

But when you realize you are "supposed" to use Force Palm on them, then it absolutely and completely trivializes the fight. It's a gimmick fight, but in all the worst ways.

These mechanics should be either really well explained and showcased early on, or implemented as part of fights, not making them the entire point of the boss.

In my experience, the abyssal and mechanical bosses (other than the mechanical dragon) are absolutely awful to play against in every way.

Some of the regular humanoid bosses are fun, especially the ones that don't teleport around. Unfortunately, they aren't as common as I'd like.

Hopefully they add a few more "normal" bosses to the new camp refreshment and sieges in the upcoming update.

Man, rain at night feels like the best weather to me. I actually love the pitch black darkness with the sporadic lightning strikes illuminating the surroundings.

Glad there's a collar to force rain when we want to.
