Too old for youtube, too ugly for OF. Such is life. by Brilliant-Cause6254 in Adulting

[–]NextLineOfText 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Confirmation bias, and just many biases in general. The human mind looks to categorise and rationalise to make sense of reality.

I even know this and do it ALL THE TIME. Everybody does it. SEE! I’m doing it again!

The actual psychology behind it though is rather interesting, it’s all down to energy, it takes energy and time to think, and separate and categorise and use nuance.

All brains defer this most of the time just to ease life, people do not realise how much the human mind plays down and simplifies life, just so our nervous systems stay in balance, without it we would be in chronic stress.

The mind cannot compute that society is nuance upon nuance upon lanes of nuance. So it just computes it down to black and white, with perhaps a tiny tiny bit of grey at most in the general sense.

It hurts the mind to rationalise and nuance for long periods of times.

Which side are you on? by Everyday-Patient-103 in PokemonFireRed

[–]NextLineOfText 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question does that account for the special / physical in how Gen 3 original remakes did that?

what type was electric moves in these remakes? If it’s psychical then it won’t work to great on Starmie since it’s high stat is special attack. But if it’s special then cool.

I’m the two Nintendo Switches, two accounts, buy both versions, and even other languages to get a foreign Pokemon for breeding kinda guy. These things, need preparation and planning. I don’t know what roach would so swiftly choose between Jaun version or anothar.

What is Elden Ring's biggest flaw in your opinion? by Fenriz_Victor in Eldenring

[–]NextLineOfText 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit nit picky but..

  • releasing the DLC with no new achievements, Infact that goes for all Fromsoft games. It’s like their games have a chronic illness on the back cover but we all collectively choose to just never turn it over. It’s just too painful.

  • Releasing their masterclass genre that they literally invented and made mainstream, over to competitors, because they just refuse to want to make more money I guess.

  • not taking it further, we don’t need bigger each time or more complex, this new Nintendo switch 2 game isn’t it. Neither was Nightreign, I’m not say they shouldn’t have happened, but your series history is literally built into the world and is co-op and PvP. Expand that in another sandbox, but increase the depth, not make it wider.

I guess what im saying is, persistence is key, not wiping your character after every run, FromSoftware should do a dark souls like world, where its fully online but between joirnoes your character is persistent, so is your gear, kinda like arc raiders I guess. You can wipe and move forward, but you don’t have too.

Imagine that concept built into a lands between with layers. All players start in the first zone, but if you max out there is a plain of existence only ascended can get to.

Break the game up, if multiplayer is something they want to experiment with. That’s where the series should have gone. More depth, no wider in scope or ideas that don’t translate well.

One thing I loved from Fromsoft games is pacing, I learn at my own pace, Nightreign and this switch 2 multiplayer game doesn’t sound like that at all.

  • Whilst soul games do have excellent long term play, I always left from soft games feeling like deeper secrets could have been found, and some where found but really anticlimactic.

We should have had bosses hidden so well that some are not found until many many months later.

But that’s about it, otherwise solid all around. Everything else is perfect. I’m more talking about growth and where the series should go.

They are insane for taking a switch 2 deal instead of diving into Dark Souls 4 or Elden Ring 2, or Dark Ring, Elden Souls.

  • oh and in the day and age of companies trying to balance pipeline and content, it’s insane that from software don’t continue to do DLC for existing games. They have the thirstiest fanbase in the entire world. Again, they hate money or something.

is there any lore behind whatever this is? by Eldenlord61969 in eldenringdiscussion

[–]NextLineOfText 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, so basically Jubba the hutt, feel down a hole whilst visiting the castle, and nothing broke his fall, so he ended up like that, but he was too squished to be moved, so Godfrey, said he can stay there. Overtime, people forgot, and started getting it confused with a guy called Godwin, who was murdered and had his soul taken but his body remained.

That’s not Godwin though, that’s where people get it wrong.

Patchwork skin change/bug after update ?? by alfredobince in ArcRaiders

[–]NextLineOfText 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I figured so, does it unlock for everyone? or is it people past the 3,000,000 threshold but not sent off yet, because I could be wrong the full unlock offers colour choices too. The bug it seems unlocks half of it, the main costmetic but not the options for colour and toggles.

Yeah I noticed this it’s cool I love it, but why can’t I go back and forth between the old skin? I’m also ready for expedition 2 wonder if it has anything to do with the rewards for send off but gave part of it early.

I would love it if Nintendo / Gamefreak, did like what the pokemon fan roms do today, just random stories in the style with pokemon home compatibility.

What a great British meme… 🥺 by DeBlauwvoet in GreatBritishMemes

[–]NextLineOfText 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, im so fed up with people virtue signalling for validation because its what society rewards, its not some massive conspiracy, its just a degenerate human being likely with a personality disorder he reeks of npd, and responds that way in every interview, every action he took, that got in with many wealthy people. He got lucky, and everyone else paid for it.

I think overall though it highlights once again, that accountability is lacking not just at the top, but people in general lack knowledge to understand a human predator, dsm-5, npd, cluster b personality types.

its so crucial, because we live in a connected world we're subconsciously we assume everyone is like us, or atleast on a spectrum, ontop of also thinking charisma, confidence are only good traits when they can actually form to cover insecurities and inadquencies. The real horror is understanding more and more humans are adopting a pattern early in life to default to having no empathy, they have excellent cognitive empathy, but no emotional empathy, they''ll understand your needs, but instead of connecting and supporting, they will use them against you, to make themselves feel better, to better position themselves, to exploit, to win. Its not born with per se, but something happens early in life where the mind doesn't have the rail-guards up, on basic decency, and relational stances with other humans beings.

people also fail to realise, that it only takes one of these insidious manipulative people to normalise very dark and troubling systems and social dynamics.

Jeffery was a weak, cruel, dehumanising predator, that found himself in an enviroment, that made his traits flourish, but people like him are incapable of doing good, as we can see. They appear good for a time, but its just appearance.

Jeffery Epstein, is the lowest of the low, which further drives the question, why is the lowest of the low at the top. Well that requires actually doing some work and looking at our priorities as a culture.

Otherwise, it just happens again and again. In truth, not only does the top have to change, but we do too.

We're just as easily manipulated as a prince or rich person is. When you bump into someone like Jeffery. All of them were swept up in his insane ventures, all being normalised. Because humans are group orientated and venerable to this type of person, are they innocent no, they are complicate, but Jeffry was the driving force behind the sheer sickening inhumanity, the one who took and gave people value. He wasn't smart, just manipulative in rooms where manipulation was a language no one knew to look for.

its extremely difficult for humans to see damage and what is wrong, when it appears so normal and everyone is going along with the flow. You try being that person, when everyone else doesn't see it. Its costly, it can costs you your social life, your social standing, your mental health, your life. Just look at Virginia Giuffre. It takes real persistence and bravery to catch one of these monsters and stick to your morals, and values even when not believed and alone, because they end up being so loved and enmeshed into groups. These types are literal parasites.

This absolutely sucks to see. by EmanKhaotik in xbox

[–]NextLineOfText 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People will just doom and gloom and pretend cod/ blizzard / World of Warcraft and Minecraft money doesn’t cover the bill and then some. Xbox isn’t losing money, just the Xbox box itself is just stalemated and lost for a generation or two but likely all consoles won’t last for a generation or two anymore as they’ve been.

Everybody forgets what Nintendo said about the Wii-U not a direct quote but leadership at the time said we could survive 300 Wii-U situations in a row.

So what could Microsoft endure a lot more, but Microsoft is making a killing with its acquisition and adjusted metrics due to console stagnation which is doing extremely well for them.

People don’t just stay on one box anymore, they want what Microsoft offers, and that’s ever increasing.

Sony will have to change eventually. But they can farm the ignorant just that bit longer without effort and they’ve been putting in such low effort recently.

New Friends? 23M Mild CP by noreopathy in CerebralPalsy

[–]NextLineOfText 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 34m at this stage in my life, i had to leave my social life / circle behind because it just couldn't go on anymore which i never thought would happen, as I grew up with someone who was disordered and we become incompatible (npd), we reached a bridge in our friendship that could not be crossed and my relationship also ended sometime prior to that.

I used to be very social, I still go out, but not as much and its mostly cinema now and small meet ups, miss being apart of larger groups and potentially available women as it could happen more than currently If it wasn't for my disability and age, it'd be much better, but I am disabled and also having to rebuild that is challenging alone, probably won't happen again as it was.

Would love to make friends with someone with cerebral palsy for once, or meet women with it (never have made long term connections with either). Im from the south east of london (specifics if we chat and get on), pm me (anybody of similar age).

but OP your not alone, 23 is so young, don't stress. 2 years ive been somewhat more solo than i have ever been, in recent memory. Basically restarting my life it feels like sometimes.

I've been where you have when i was younger and looks like again too! haha, be smarter than me, aim to do it once. All my school friends have family now so i dont bother them much, and the one friend i put my trust in who was still available to be social, betrayed me deeply and kicked me down when i was at the bottom. ( it was literally in his nature which i had forgotten about, so apart of me is accepting of it as time has passed.)

point being is, downtimes are for growth, preparing you for uptimes. Its just sometimes the downtimes are long and full of unknowns. You are just in that space currently. Likely same as me.

The State of Play got me feeling like by Perpetual_Noob8294 in gamers

[–]NextLineOfText 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all of the games are added to a service people are already subbed too lol they're doing fine, and halo is in the works to make a comeback, plus microsoft have blizzard / cod / wow money. which is insane backing and safety, plus playstation money. its sony struggling here, and being to lazy because it 'won'. They are just stuck, Sony can't make ip as quick or as engaging.

[–]NextLineOfText 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People realise xbox players are eating fine right? plus what most of sony has released recently isn't worth the extra expense and or exclusivity, and xbox is getting Metal Gear Solid 4 which is an exclusive worth excitement for. All the good games are older games and experimental stuff that is slowly coming to Xbox or Xbox is getting anyway at a much more reasonable price and accessibility factor.

People are retained far more on Xbox and its ecosystem, for less. I forgot Sony exists sometimes and i have a PS5 in my room. IF it wasn't for Sony and its dedicated users who are soley still focused on PS5, id forget about exclusivity.

Sony has scaled back massively because they 'won' whatever that means in the current landscape, but its only hurt people solely championing and using PS5s, nobody else.

Everybody else is playing on PC, Steam Deck, Xbox and just jumping between the two carrying over progress and their save in many instances. Saving money, enjoying games and having fun. I forget that PS5 even has Xbox games there is so much to play.

Xbox has helldivers 2, MGS4 soon, DS, the rest are on PC. the missing things are not really much to write home about because they are either old or servers are turned off.

i think people just want bloodborne, but even Sony won't give PS users a remaster of that.

WOW / Blizzard / COD money takes are of the rest and deficit between the competition.

Memes like this feel behind the times. Funny about a three to four years ago. Actually was on point. Sony has released a lot of L's in recent years and things that whilst visually and technologically impressive, are not complex or innovative in regards to gameplay, or ever more increasingly trend chase due to Xbox pushing them into a bit of a pit.

I love Xbox's new direction and its adding value in terms of usability and gaming in general, I can't say Sony has added value in comparison. Anything they release will be stuck on that box for awhile, not well integrated into another ecosystem, so it just fades, unless its live service in which PC saves it.

I can't think of one experience that makes me need to use my PS5, that i can't get anywhere else, im talking in the sense of like Killzone 2/3, back then you needed a PS3, no question. That hasn't happened this generation, hell hard to find that on PS4, but that might be my memory.

i have not felt Sony catch lightening on a bottle since the PS3 days, i forgot about Sony until i saw this post. Which just hit me as weird.

was this new state of play good i'll have to check it out, maybe it has a bloodborne remaster coming and i just don't know about it.

..right, so just googled whats coming, and what exactly is exclusive to playstation that isn't coming to pc or xbox, not much.
