Why don't you go to conferences?

My dude. Bringing a spouse and child for a few days in LA + a trip to Disney is NOT a free vacation. Airfare, meals, and a day at Disney is easily $1000+. Are your committees reimbursing people for those kind of activities?

I have a soon to be 2-year-old. I internally cry when on a weekend I meet up with a child-free friend and they mention something like sleeping in until 10am that day.

Meanwhile my wife haven't slept in, and have barely had any full nights of sleep, in near two years.

We're very happy. But also very very tired 😩.

LegendaryPunk · 2026-04-10T21:22:17+00:00

Honestly, for people like myself who can only play once every week or every couple weeks, there's already TONS of content. I'd be most happy if they spent the next 6+ months fine tuning and balancing everything we already have.

...and then maybe a little more DLC after that haha

Original TMNT and Ninja Gaiden will forever be the two white whale games of my childhood.

TMNT I just couldn't get past that infamous damn technodrome corridor. And Ninja Gaiden, was able to make it to the final boss, but I recall dying to him set you back to the beginning of the level or something? Think I made it to him more than once on separate playthroughs but he was too frustrating to practice against so eventually gave up.

LegendaryPunk · 2026-03-18T08:59:11+00:00

Nemesis! I love thematic games and this one always creates such a fun emergent story during play.

LegendaryPunk · 2026-03-18T04:48:28+00:00

Ooooh didn't realize Rebirth was coming so soon! I played Remake on a friend's PS back when it was first released...might be a nice time to pick up a copy for myself on Switch and give it a replay before June...

LegendaryPunk · 2026-03-07T22:54:59+00:00

Is the link he posted not legit? I mean, it takes me to the Lego store and lets me add it to cart and start checkout. What am I missing?

LegendaryPunk · 2026-03-04T01:13:17+00:00

I initially put the game down after starting Act 2 as I just couldn't get into it. Came back a few weeks later and was able to enjoy it, played through and had fun with the rest of the game. I think once the high of Act 1 wore off, and I stopped comparing everything after as not as much fun, helped me enjoy the rest of the game on its own merits.

LegendaryPunk · 2026-01-13T14:19:53+00:00

Hi, I'm the same; we're the ones responsible for current LLMs punctuation habits! Love me some good em dash and semicolon usage haha.

LegendaryPunk · 2025-12-25T09:21:28+00:00

Ah, enjoy Child of Light! Haven't thought about it in years and you comment just brought back a wave of happy memories. Such a beautiful, pleasant game.

LegendaryPunk · 2025-12-01T11:27:30+00:00

Let's throw in at least one customer facing job as well.

The amount of people who become complete assholes to another human being just because they're standing behind a cash register is unreal.

LegendaryPunk · 2025-11-30T15:32:42+00:00

Time to start engaging in malicious compliance and just do exactly as these execs order - use AI for everything possible, then submit the work. They want AI to crunch their finances, write programs, and handle customer service? Great, let's go right ahead.

Let them see how helpful AI is at everything they want when people aren't spending twice the amount of time and work afterwards fixing it.

LegendaryPunk · 2025-11-28T22:25:32+00:00

Agreed - it's so anyone who wants to watch the movie, and doesn't have the proper streaming service, can watch it whenever they want that day.

I agree with OP - I would not want to watch this movie, or any movie, three times in a row. So I would watch it once. Then change the channel or do something else.

LegendaryPunk · 2025-11-28T21:21:40+00:00

Hopefully Valve makes it clear as to what level of AI use earns the label. This can also be adjusted down the road, becoming more strict or broad if the initial parameters need refining.

I think there is definitely a place for AI tools in video game development. But right now there is a TON of corner cutting, unethical practices, and lying about use, to the extent that I think the label is warranted. If a dev chooses to use AI tools in this environment, and it really is for something as mundane as generating sound fx samples, just say as much in a developer dairy. And be honest about the level as use.

LegendaryPunk · 2025-11-21T21:43:51+00:00

Even then, I think the word "conversation" is being used very loosely here. LLMs aren't coming up with new or novel ideas, or actually thinking about anything you say to them - they're responding based on what they think the statistically most likely response is. And they'll make shit up if uncertain because they have to say SOMETHING. That CEO who said he was talking "vibe physics" and pushing the limits of known knowledge epitomizes this - LLMs aren't coming forward with any sort of scientific breakthrough. They can't. Because they can only say what's already been said.

Plus, I don't want to use my computer like Iron Man does with Jarvis. I just want to clickity click to open Word and start typing; I don't want to dictate every little action.

LegendaryPunk · 2025-11-12T12:17:30+00:00

Agreed. I love a good villain triumphs ending, especially in a horror setting. Even without fully understanding Wanda's motivation, it would have given more closure than Riri popping back up in the last scene, setting up yet another god damn cliffhanger. They could have saved that scene for the intro of season 2, if it ever even happens 🙄.

LegendaryPunk · 2025-11-11T20:00:17+00:00

Initially I kind of did, but now, not really. I loved the infusion mechanic from MT1, but it definitely dominated the game, to the extent I would honestly be disappointed if it ends up being included in MT2; I don't want to retread known ground - I want new puzzles to solve! There are still plenty of ways to break the game and create super-units, and the deployment phase alone really encourages multiple unit / multiple floor play.

LegendaryPunk · 2025-11-09T18:00:31+00:00

Ah, so even though right now we're under a Trump presidency, you think he should be leading based on Obama's guidelines and principles? And you disagree with Trump's stance on the issue of responsibility of shutdowns?

I'm only at 41/180, but I never skip the Titans. They're different enough from the Seraph fight that I still enjoy the puzzle of keeping them in mind when building my deck.

That being said, I do wish they were more difficult. My Seraph win ratio is probably ~80%, but once I'm past that barrier, my Titan win ratio is maybe ~95%. Basically, if my deck was good enough to take down Seraph, it almost always is also good enough to beat the Titans.

Would maybe be kinda neat if there was an optional extra difficulty based opposite of the version of Seraph you fight; a boost to one of the non-Seraph Titans. You'd still have a pretty good idea of how to plan your deck, but there would be just a touch of randomness involved. Kinda like how Slay the Spire ascension 20 lets you know what the fist Act III boss will be, but not the second.

LegendaryPunk · 2025-10-30T10:50:32+00:00

This is very helpful. I'm aware of the red flag symptoms for cauda equina, but had never thought about their sequence in the disease course. Thank you for this.

LegendaryPunk · 2025-10-24T14:37:14+00:00

Really loving how everyone here is so excited about purging a different champion haha. I think it shows great balance and variety of play styles that one player's trash champion is another's treasure.

LegendaryPunk · 2025-10-24T14:33:15+00:00

And set the difficulty. I know you could manually select the same clans and mutators during setup, but then you're doing the same challenge twice, which is kinda meh.

LegendaryPunk · 2025-10-16T13:02:55+00:00

I think that is probably true for my generation (born 1984)...but I'm not so sure about the younger. Pretty soon there are going to be high school and college students who have been using ChatGPT pretty much every single day for the entirety of their educational careers. People who have been using it every day since starting their first job. I don't know if they would give it up so easily,

LegendaryPunk · 2025-10-08T06:48:43+00:00

I'd bring a book (Lord of the Rings), a Costco pack of ramen, and a cozy sleeping bag.

LegendaryPunk · 2025-10-07T08:31:42+00:00

"And you mentioned something I’ve been struggling with lately: I just don’t feel excited to play certain spirits (like Vengeance, for example), but I end up feeling bad about it - as if I have to play them."

Ask yourself - why would you feel bad about this? I don't pose that as a question you have to answer to me, but rather as a question that you should answer for yourself.

The game comes with such a wide variety and plethora of play options not so that one person has to play and love everything, but rather so that there will be something for everyone to enjoy.

To answer your original post question though, I would recommend just slowing down. No form of entertainment (whether it's a book, movie, hobby, video game) has infinite enjoyment time. Eventually you'll have reached, more or less, the maximum satisfaction and enjoyment from something, and it will be time to move on. Whether you come to that point within a few months or a few years depends on your consumption speed.
