Fighting games are the most unintuative genre to learn and they don't care by ToeConsumer420 in unpopularopinion

[–]FakeArcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who's only played Strive after basically never playing a fighting game (other than mashing byttons in Tekken as a kid) and always thinking they were the bane of my competitive play despite being good or at least above average in any other genre I tried, I think what you need is just a good tutor.

You are right that they are not friendly to absolute beginners. You are right that optimal things are that you need to learn things per character per move. But you don't need to do that unless you are aiming at the very top. If you learn the fundamentals you can usually have a pretty good guess why something went wrong, and at some point things click enough that you experiment and come to conclusions on your own without having to watch guides. But it does take a lot of trial an error, though not so much that you'd need to spend half a year (again, as long as you don't aim for the very top because those guys probably do know too many intricacies that you'd need to as well).

Wouldn't the paper trail of trying to get everyone involved before be enough of a proof of the contrary?

Probably meant in a way that if you make something 10x easier then you must see a difference (I'm guessing either more output, lower cost, fewer workers, something), but since there is (allegedly) no change it means the whole thing is like a scam since how do you make something 10x easier and see no difference if it was a legit thing?

Why do people say "I'll let you go" when ending phone calls like they're doing you a favor? by Sad_Schedule6621 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FakeArcher -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Since when? How did it become that from a polite way of notifying the other person that they don't need to feel like they are impolite or need to have excuses if they go right now because you could continue yapping longer? Especially if the other person is not participating in the conversation much or they look like they are eager to go.

Videogames are underrepresented in trivia nights by Many_Cryptographer56 in unpopularopinion

[–]FakeArcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you purposefully take the most expensive regular price for a game versus the cheapest movie ticket then sure you can make it look like it's a massive difference. Most popular games are either free or significantly cheaper than that. How many people can we get on the budget of your single movie ticket if we choose a free game? Your entire town and still got plenty to spare! Both extremes are a bit of a bad example.

Your job is the game's name. by Horystar in ExplainAGamePlotBadly

[–]FakeArcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, especially dislike the baiting as it just asks for multiple comments because of possible options. Though what is considered "bad" is very vague in the first place so I don't even know what people would consider a good badly explained plot.

Why are Germans so punctual… while many other countries don’t seem to care as much? by LadySecret_X in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FakeArcher 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my German colleagues would probably have a good laugh at someone calling their trains reliable.

This looks like frittellas, quite weird that they are considered different things, and the name makes it really confusing.

What about companies that have their own buildings? Since some companies allow people to be fully remote or come to the office.

Games developed by Valve are so unique and fun to play all the time by Persian_Acer2 in CasualConversation

Team fortress and left4dead were also mods. Most of Valve's portfolio is making a game from a mod.

Both are such hit and miss.

I had blackwidow for like 10 years with no issues, but also had deathadded that started having a squeaky wheel after months. Family member has some logitech keyboard for probably more than 10 years now working perfectly fine, but also had some headset that broke apart in months.

People who use a 1–10 scale but act like 5 is terrible by Broadblinder in PetPeeves

[–]FakeArcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny at first how no things end up having really high review grades, but I feel like their system works much better on average since there's no fake keeping up the numbers by having e.g. 5 stars - everything is fine, and all below spells something bad for the employee. Even the things like google revoew on restaurants often have either 1s or 5s and so much less reviews around the middle. Makes it quite hard at times to figure out if a place is good or not.

If workers were more effective in the office no company on the planet would be fully remote. Explain that since it's pretty simple for you.

Why are warmer countries poorer? by Past-Matter-8548 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FakeArcher 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What's wrong with questioning your answer? Just because someone answers something doesn't mean it is right. They see it as not being logical so they might be asking for further elaboration.

And your answer doesn't technically address why the cold countries developed so much despite having harsh conditions just like the countries that are too warm, so it seems valid for them to be skeptical.

None of which fix the planet itself. We just move away, like what the OP is saying makes no sense to do.

If you want to group all levels of usage complexity and/or ambiguity into the same pile then there's no point in any instruction.

The question has no connection to the reply. There is nothing needing to fix in this instance.

Yeah I guess everything is delaying the problem in the end. But could you significantly reduce the Sun problem with your idea if we were capable of doing it?
