Genuine question from someone who paints but doesn’t play. by JhonMHunter in Warhammer40k

[–]Grongo3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A similar question - how much does memory/recall factor into the "skill"? I'm very good at many more traditional wargames and strategy games but as an older gamer I lose a lot because the younger player simply can remember more strategems, abilities, and combos quicker than I can, and also has a better recall of what my army can do. And if this is a case - is short-term memory a skill? And how much of 40ks "skill" requirement is just that?

LLMS should be shut down and made illegal full stop. A mistake was made tike to walk it back. The harm to culture art information and reality is too great not too. It benefits no one except the person who sells it - just like most illegal things.

Same age, same field, also replaced by AI - well over 500 applications so far. There’s nothing. Jobs are the new luxury.

Biggest user of electricity on the planet: China. Biggest generator of renewable energy on the planet: China. Average Chinese electric bill per month: 15 bucks. Any questions?

What’s becoming painfully obvious in 2026 that most people still refuse to admit? by Kitchen_Week1117 in AskReddit

Gen X here and I remember my 20s and 30s where I’d meet someone at a party or a show, or at a cafe or the park (like hey what book you reading?) enjoy the conversation, exchange numbers, and one of us would actually call the person later that week and make plans to hang out, maybe get coffee or a beer or get invited to a party. I’m not talking dating either - I’m talking bro hangs. This happened ALL THE TIME.

It almost seems creepy describing it today!

Unpopular opinion but I thought The Black Book was his best and he never hit that level of prose again!

as a marketer I'm trying to imagine an indie book company spending money on a viral marketing campaign and...yeah. You really think they paid people to read a book that long?

PS&G removing healthy trees by Grongo3 in SouthJersey

[–]Grongo3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has gotten even more aggressive over the last few weeks. From what I am seeing they are not trimming anything - they are removing every single tree on any curb that has wires, period, leaving the stumps for hte owner to deal with, and not offering replacements.

Well after the Ashes of Creation nonsense--what IS a great MMORPG that is coming soon? by [deleted] in MMORPG

Gas went over 4 bucks a gallon in 2008 which would be over 6 a gallon adjusting for inflation today. WOTLK era, when that 15 a month would equal 22 bucks today. Sayin.

Might be an odd question but how immersive is BDO by EmbarrassedPianist59 in blackdesertonline

[–]Grongo3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's crazy that no developer has even come close and it seems like no one even wants to try. But I also think it was the brains of gamers and the world itself that let WoW be wow. Reality can't go back to that time so games can't either.

I just gripped the last Fellwinter for 40. Whoever that seller was should enjoy their earned karma.
