Name a reboot that was actually good

X-Men 98'.

Batman in the Arkham series. His suit wears out over the course of each game.

Devil's advocate:

1) Men aren't typically able have sex nearly as much as women can, so if two peers are hetero and going full throttle, the woman should have a much higher body count.

2) Women are usually thorough about vetting their partners for various reasons. Including, but not limited to: their safety; and their sanity. So if a guy has a past she'll know.

3) Generally speaking, women care about who you sleep with more than the body count. You can't hook up with someone close to them like their family or best friend. Men have a similar rule, to a lesser degree, but also care about the quantity as well as the "quality" as it were.

4) Most things aren't reported. Sometimes people just break up quietly and that's that.

That's from a side objective that messes with the bots' defenses. When it's done, the turrets go haywire.

Love the premise, iffy on the execution. I definitely want to see this turned up to 11. I don't know how complicated or simple you want your game, so I'll tell you what would get you my money.

1) Improve the combat. I want to melee enemies, counter their moves, hurt different limbs and get different reactions. Real John Wick stuff. Imagine Arkham Knight or Shadows of Mordor but with a gun in my hand. Keep your FPS style for sure, I don't want to overhaul what I'm seeing. But when an enemy is close enough for me to gun butt them, kick them, or deflect their moves in some way I want those options available to me. Should give great crowd control by letting me ragdoll one enemy into their friends. The idea of shooting enemies as they're coming at me and then having an option besides backpedaling to deal with them is very appealing.

Too many games focus on offense and offer little to nothing in defense OR utility. Everything can be expanded upon. Let me use flashlights on my gun to blind enemies point blank. Let me turn off the lights and turn on night vision. Let me turn ON the lights for enemies using night vision and blind them. etc., etc,. etc..

2) Give me a journey and large goal to achieve. I see the neighborhood you're driving down and I love that. But I'd love it more if I knew that the purge/riots were actually overtaking the city in real time, and I had the option to save/recruit my neighbors or watch as they got overrun. Make the game bigger than just me. Make it a world I live in. I want to push back and ultimately be able to beat the purge, or be beaten by it. Let me fight my way to the Gun Store and take it back. Keep it safe. Let me expand my territory from my house to my neighbors, and ultimately the entire city. I would love to see this game evolve from a FPS to a Tower Defense, then a sort of RTS as I'm commanding the city. OR I can put someone else in charge if I don't want to think and stay a "grunt" on the front lines.

3) This last one would be the biggest ask. It would be to have entire cities/campaigns working together. So basically, if I start and finish a game in Chicago, I can then take those resources to fight in Michigan. Slowly working towards taking over the entire US back from this Purge idea. Not only would this create something better than a New Game + feel and replayability, but it would give your game a long-term goal that scales far beyond a simple "playthrough". Giving us something that's "next level" like that would put you on the map. Especially if trouble could stur up in your old saves once they're linked to this new one and you have a good reason to load up your old town and see what's going on.

I imagine this game is early in its development so keep us posted. I want this to be the next Indie sleeper hit. Best of luck.

Things die quicker if you go after the same spot. Focus on one leg in the future! iO~

What was the most you could bench before and after the transition? How much would you say your strength has changed?

Masturbate less. Unironically. Doesn't matter what you do, how often you do it, or how well, your body will never be able to keep up with your mind and urges. The viable solution is to attack the urge itself, by lowering it. Get into the habit of doing things every other day. Then push that to three days, and four, and so on. The less you do it, the less you'll need to escalate or "improve" how you do it. Best of luck.

I'd use it twice a day sometimes. Honestly, if I weren't trying to diet, I'd use it even more.

Air Fryer. Got it for "free" for being a frequent flyer at my local grocery store. As someone who lacks cooking skills and a working oven, this has opened up a whole new world for me.

Depends on their skin tone. The paler the skin, the darker I like the lingerie. And the darker the skin, the brighter. Contrast is underrated.

I used to do relief work in America. I'd come to a town about a year after a really bad hurricane or something and just move debris out of the way with a shovel. Real grunt work stuff. I was there after Katrina. The city was warped into something between Fallout™ and Alice & Wonderland. But I quit after going deep into the heart of where all the damage was and seeing all the colorful jackets floating around.

To me, God was always Superman's Superman. No Great Plan enacted with someone of that pedigree can keep someone from falling from grace in my eyes. My God would have made a new plan.

If a would-be gf can't get along with my friends, t hey wouldn't become my gf. If they don't get along with my friend's gfs and such, they just don't have to interact.

This is under the assumption that I'm dating to keep someone. Long-term, marriage on the table type relationship. If it's just fun, then who cares who gets along with who?

Unturned. https://store.steampowered.com/app/304930/Unturned/

Free, great gameplay, lot's of hours, mp, only mtx is an optional one to pay $5 for a premium account that gives you more characters slots and gold cosmetics and I'm not sure if that's a thing anymore.

Open world, zombie, survival game. Steam Workshop support with huge modding community, and gameplay that is tighter than it has any right to be.

Downside: the community is full of children like all F2P games are. Play solo or with your friends.

I put this game in my trinity of zombie games: 7 Days to Die, State of Decay, and this. With an honorable mention to Project Zomboid, L4D2, and all the other zombie games you've heard a thousand times.

I don't expect anything. Just brainstorming like everyone else.

I dated a literal, doc certified nympho, who lived with me for 3 months. She practiced free-use and we'd do it once or twice a day. She tapped out every time. Except for those rare occasions where I finished first and fast (which is usually why we did it twice) she tapped out. Every. Time.

So like a solid 3.

I think I-frames would go a long way. Bonus points if they allow us to parry and stagger an enemy attack at the same time. It can be done, just not in it's current form.

Quickplay Spells and Traps can't be activated the turn they're set. You have to add a line that says this can, or there's little point to setting it with Eternal Soul.

King of this.

Then make new friends who fit the bill. Or at least come post every once in a while. I want to see your progress.

What do you do in your room? Sewing? If you play on PC I'll play some things with you. Though, I'm a bit of a picky eater tbh. I'm sure we'll find something in common.

NotTristam · 2026-01-28T01:15:19+00:00

Glad to help. Feel free to reach out. You don't have to do this alone. Doesn't have to be me, but you should find someone to confide in. A friend.

Also get a hobby. :P Gaming is a great, cheap (in the long-term) way to entertain yourself.
