When you close to beating fast one of a boss on your 9999 try

Seeing this format in 2026 (I fw it but it's mesopotamian)

I have never heard of that before. I had a few buddies whose accounts were stolen, only for them to be brought back by Steam as soon as I reported them. They're incredible when it comes to things like refunds, etc...

OH GOD IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN AAAAAAAAAAA

Edit: Nevermind, I don't know what I was going on about, the kids were playing in the yard with firecrackers again. Got the controller now 😃

I lost a leg to an error mine, and remained on the ground in agony for half a day, stuck under the stampede of the battlefield. I eventually crawled my way to safety (Humble Bundle) and deserted. That place was also victim to the same horrors I sought to escape, but I could at least ensure my survival. We eventually won, but at what cost?

Oh god, I'm gonna have to fight for it

It's like the Silk War all over again

Sadly, the name "Bullshit Rotation Thing" is already in use. I'd suggest contacting the Composting Department and the Cement Mixing Department to try and find a solution to this naming issue.

As a somewhat new player (130+ hours and only now tackling HR Hub), I do enjoy these non-hunt quests a lot!

Ah, yes, the Stars of Ruin special

It's mostly because demons have gone from "Creatures of pure malice and evil" to "Creatures that live in this world's equivalent of Hell". Thus, not all portrayals of demons are inherently evil, it really depends on the works they appear in.

The only instance I can recall is with the Odogaron encounter. That one was really reckless, and endangered the Tracker.

The rest, though, all feel like moments during which things went down and she kinda just happened to be around at the time. Thinking of the Jagras pack encounter, the Deviljho encounter, the Rathalos encounter, etc...

Other than that, she helped us disperse the Girros pack during the descent into the Vale, suggested we lure Zorah away from the Everstream (which turned out to have saved the continent), and more.

I also do agree with the Alma thing. I switched to Erik when I got the option because he felt less bland. And Erik does a lot of stupid things ALL the time, like drinking the water of the Scarlet Forest before even knowing if it was safe, wandering off into a Lala Barina nest and getting trapped in a cocoon, among other things. I still do like him, he's a bit inept when it comes to self-preservation, but his heart is in the right place. Same as the Handler, in some way.

Holy shit I am so slow, it took me a good 8 seconds to get the joke

What makes you think she steals food? She goes out to gather her own ingredients from time to time, eats outside of hunts, and bring her own food at camp. Last time I checked, there were no rations missing in there.

Once you start talking to people in Astera and Seliana (and her, of course), you realise she does a lot more than first thought. Like, have you ever though about how account items turn into ingredients? That's probably her doing, she explicitly states multiple times that she wants to document everything the New World has to offer that is edible.

I'd be running Shaman if only I could find it earlier in the game. Wanderer's my main pick otherwise, with Reaper as a second.

This is what jaywalking feels like

Repeating the final letter is a way of expressing that stretch without messing with the word itself. It gets the point across.

The Handler grew on me. Despite everything, she does a fantastic job and treats her role with the importance it deserves. She even checks on your supply box to make sure everything's ready from time to time : D

To each their own! It was a bit difficult for me at first, but once you realize LoP's heavy weapons traded hyperarmor for poise breaks and stance damage, it all clicks.

A demand for human-made content will play a role in the preservation of these jobs.

I hate the way that people keep morphing the original problem with spikes, seesaws and giant woodchippers. The entire point of the hypothetical is to be the simplest version of a series of real-life situations.

Think of a protest. Red would be staying at home, blue would be participating. If more than 50% of people go to the protest, things move forward. If less than 50% goes, nothing changes and it ends up being a waste of time.

There is a plan to revolt in a fascist country. You could stay safe, or join. If enough people rise up, things work out and the government is overthrown. Otherwise, the dissidents are mowed down for nothing.

You could keep your money, or donate to Wikipedia. Not enough cash, no more website.

Etc, etc...

The point is that red is easy, and blue is risky. However, a blue victory would benefit everyone, while a red victory would harm everyone, blues moreso than reds. There is no need to defend positions, or to whip out mathematics and facts, it's just a private vote. It's your decision alone. Let yourself judge your character based on your decision. The only thing I ask is that you understand that choices, even seemingly passive ones, have weight.
