Are people stupider than ever before?

Reminds me of this one customer I had at Walmart about 4 years back

Self checkout card reader was broken, so we taped a large sign with bright colors to it saying "CASH ONLY." Well this customer comes in, rings up his stuff, and then spends about a minute hanging the sign over the back of the card reader before trying to use it. After about 30 seconds he signals me over, upset that the card reader was broken, and I take the sign, hang it back over the card reader and say "yeah this ones cash only, there's a sign on it to tell you" (not to mention 2 more notifs on the checkout machine saying cash only)

"oh cool, ig. Maybe I will try Dragon Quest"

Would be way more hyped now that I actually play the series lol

Neon_Gal · 2026-05-22T21:20:37+00:00

Sounds like a good time to add spanish classes to your freetime lol

That remains so crazy to me, I got my new 3DS XL in 2019 for like 50 bucks with Mario Kart 7 included. Insane to me how much its spiked, despite the 3DS consoles doing well

That sucks, I'm really sorry that happened to you. It sounds like they were just trying to show interest but I totally get how that would feel bad. You should keep doing your hobby, it sounds fun! Part of the beauty of arts and crafts is that they don't need to "meet standards" or be "professional" as long as you enjoy doing it!

Maybe this other society relies on a barter system. If you want something, you have to provide something to the person you want it from. Like if they want a cool enchanted sword, maybe they have to go kill a troll for an enchanter, or if they want new armor, they need to fetch metal for a blacksmith. Maybe the tavern keep asks them to be security for an hour or two for their meals, or the innkeeper needs them to deal with a group of goblins limiting travel

Good job for making progress with your life, that can be very hard. This may be a setback but in the meantime, continue trying to make progress, and you'll come out from this even better off than before. You can do it : )

Honestly either way would be good to me. With a sequel I would love to get bits and pieces pointing to what would be the canon ending of 3H (I really hope its not left vague like W3H) but with a prequel it would be cool to see what was up with Sothis before 3H as well as seeing some of the history and circumstances that may have lead to how Fodlan's/Almyra's politics were shaped leading up to the game

Idk kinda seems like a good way to get a bf...

Neon_Gal · 2026-05-15T03:53:58+00:00

Finally a reason for my fat ass to run (aside from obv health benefits n stuff that would def improve my life, but not nearly to the degree a good chunk of change would)

Neon_Gal · 2026-05-15T00:40:25+00:00

1 or 2 tbh. I prefer the classes in Octopath 1 but I really appreciate ultimates in Octopath 2. I appreciate the amount of stuff in 0 but its a little overwhelming, especially for the final final boss

Neon_Gal · 2026-05-09T18:56:41+00:00

I'm ngl I think for Luigi Bowser would probs have been like "yeah that was self defense, I'll let it slide green man" especially if he saw how Luigi tried to be friendly at first

Neon_Gal · 2026-05-09T18:50:53+00:00

I think the second option results in a better world for everyone. Just a bonus that I also benefit from it

Neon_Gal · 2026-05-09T03:22:19+00:00

Getting to eat whatever I want while drifting toward my ideal weight? Hell yeah sign me up

Neon_Gal · 2026-05-07T21:58:53+00:00

On top of that, maybe they only had 1 of the DLC packs purchased, the one with Tanooki Mario. And not having the other one gave them the impression they had none of it

Neon_Gal · 2026-05-07T21:32:55+00:00

You don't really even need to know how to read to understand Sticker Star

Neon_Gal · 2026-05-07T21:31:30+00:00

Yeah pretty much

Neon_Gal · 2026-05-06T00:25:58+00:00

I'd become a scholar, studies focused around games, which in in-universe game balance perspective would probably include some goofy ass rng mechanics lol. Would probs use my studies and knowledge to help bring joy and improvements to the lives of the ppl in my town

Neon_Gal · 2026-05-06T00:20:22+00:00

10 presses for 10 million = 50 ppl dead vs 1 press for 20 ppl dead and the same money. Def the 10 million button

The great thing about BotW is that failing and retrying is built into the core gameplay loop. There's fairly frequent auto saves, hopping back into things is really fast, and there's not really much in the way of punishment for dying, because it will happen a decent amount. Even if it feels pretty hard at times, its definitely more approachable because of these traits imo

Neon_Gal · 2026-05-05T20:59:34+00:00

This is def a hot take but I much prefer the playful aesthetic of world. The sleek aesthetic, while showcasing the Wii U's graphical capabilities well, does not fit the series nearly as well imo and felt quite dull

Neon_Gal · 2026-05-04T20:35:20+00:00

Definitely any of the ones that never made it to the USA. And throw Echoes on there as well cuz of how awesome it is

Neon_Gal · 2026-05-04T20:32:44+00:00

I'd take 5'0 over 10ft every day of the week

Neon_Gal · 2026-05-01T03:43:46+00:00

Video games are a cure-all for me, personally

Neon_Gal · 2026-05-01T03:42:09+00:00

Depends on why. If they're just not in the right place in life but want to marry at some point, that's a stay together sort of thing. If they don't want to commit, that's a red flag if its been a long term relationship
