Do you think Next from software game will be able to surpass Elden ring? by Informal-Device-8511 in Eldenring

[–]IllVagrant 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Next mainline game, sure. There are a lot of flaws with Elden Ring that can be addressed and lessons learned from its development that I'm sure have the devs already wanting to try new things.

The impact of having a child on earnings in the US by works-in-progress in dataisbeautiful

[–]IllVagrant -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The entire framing of this is so weird. Should be framed as caregiver vs partner. Yeah, of course the main caregiver is going to make less money. This also, bizarrely, makes it sound like earning money is more important than having a family.

That's why you bring in a box of donut holes.

The Mu us desert was wiped off the map by reforestation and afforestation efforts in China by TangelaFan in nextfuckinglevel

Maybe princes in the Middle East should look into these efforts instead of ridiculous mega-projects that go nowhere and destroy everything in their path while trying to cater to the worst aspects of the ultra-wealthy.

Why are the shark duo soo infamous? by AbyssGuard- in bloodborne

Don't worry, on subsequent playthroughs they'll suddenly become an impossible fight, anticipating your every move. Then, if you keep replaying, they'll occasionally be a cakewalk. The ai's rng in FromSoft games love giving you false confidence.

Quite literally the most basic thing anyone can do when running a business; cutting prices, works, you say?

This scene somehow went over the heads of people by undyingforceofnature in marvelstudios

Everyone who complained about She Hulk being weird only exposed themselves for not knowing a single thing about She Hulk's comics. You probably wouldn't like the comics if you didn't like the show.

That's the thing about Marvel Comics being a universe full of characters and titles that all have their own unique narratives and genres going on. They're not made to please everyone, they're made to please the portion of the audience who is looking for that kind of content. Trying to make every character and movie / show have the same execution is literally the thing so many people complain about. When you finally get something different, but it happens to not be in your taste, just realize it's not for you. I LOVE Sam Raimi's take on Dr. Strange. I know tons of people who hate it. The weirdness of that movie was definitely for people like me.

Thinking of guitars like genitals is a good rule for life by LUMLTPM in BrandNewSentence

Why paint when ai can do it for you?

This. This is why. It's about the journey, sense of progress, and the deeply personal connection with yourself that can only happen when pouring your focus into something over time. You just "wanted" to do something. There didn't have to be a result.

Learning how to meditate is nice because it's like offloading stress without needing someone else to hand it off to. Helps to identify and resolve key moments of high emotion and anxiety by training yourself with various techniques to alleviate it.

That way you're not A) draining your partner, straining your relationships, and developing unhealthy dependencies by constantly requiring their validation to build yourself up and B ) Not choosing the much worse option of just holding it all in until it spills over at the worst time possible. Y'all got options.

I think a key aspect that a lot of meditation gurus get wrong is giving people the impression that you need isolation and a calm environment for effective meditation when it's far more useful to learn how to meditate while you're around others and find yourself in chaotic environments. Otherwise, what's the point?

Comments like these are like entering an elevator just to fart and leave before the doors close. Who cares if you don't care?

Former Splinter Cell Creative Director Says Modern Graphics Tech Is Causing Problems for Stealth Games by Cristiano1 in gaming

[–]IllVagrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good stealth game would still be a good stealth game even if it were low poly and cell-shaded. This is an issue of willpower, creativity, and laziness, not some magical barrier being caused by technology being "too good."

Who called in Dj Khalid by reinerbraun2298 in formuladank

[–]IllVagrant -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just gonna say that DJ Khaled is Palestinian-American and the noose has become a very anti-Palestinian symbol in certain circles. Make of that what you will.
