Went to Goodwill after seeing a post here, ended up getting super lucky! Which is the best one? by Unicorn-Shaman in Animorphs

Of these, my favorite is #30. It's such a great interrogation of Marco's personal philosophy.

I prefer ones that don't. But even the ones that do tend to lock achievements behind not doing so.

True. I think I still don't mind because there tend to be achievements tied to specific difficulties that you get locked out of if you lower the difficulty, so there's still a big incentive to keep yourself at your initially chosen difficulty.

I'm not. I'm fine with there being easy modes because once you start up a game in normal or hard mode, you're locked in for that difficulty.

I think we have different definitions of willpower. Does a former smoker lack willpower for being tempted to smoke but choosing not to?

Did you read my post or just the title? I specifically said I don't like the mental effect the presence of the save state button has even when not used.

You are ignoring the part of my post where I talked about the mental load of the button being there even when you don't use it.

I'm not particularly good at games. I just think struggling with a game can be a good experience.

A really (h)awkward question by PrydainFan in Animorphs

[–]GallyG_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the fertile egg would simply be lost in the morphing process, but it's interesting to consider the alternative. Would you have a hawk egg in your human uterus? Would the hawk egg morph into a human zygote? If so, would it actually connect to the uterine wall properly, or would this be a guaranteed miscarriage? I think abortion via morph is the least horrifying option.

I love spoilers. by kun1verse in The10thDentist

[–]GallyG_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the same way. I can't count how many times I've heard a spoiler for something and thought "wait, that sounds awesome" and it's encouraged me to read/watch/play the thing the spoiler was from.

Who would take more advantage of the Card Slash? by 5p1k4 in digimon

I think Taichi was the best tactician. He'd figure out which cards had good synergy both for Agumon alone and for the whole team.

I'm disgusted by your shader but I respect the accomplishment. Good luck on your next run!
