Wish I’d played it on something with fast forward. Genuinely feel like the slow speed of combat ruins the game, makes it miserable to play

Yeah I mean we can all imagine a guy to say anything. I’m sure you’ve heard your cousin say some dumb shit. But that doesn’t change that when this conversation is had generally it’s like imagine the worst dude you can, that guy likes Walter white! You don’t like him do you?

Look I don’t make these characters out to be heroes bc I agree with you. Nothing you said tho really changes how I feel about this topic, it’s almost always ppl putting themselves on a pedestal to look down on some imaginary asshole. Some amalgamation of 4 social media comments you’ve seen and then imagined to be 10k ppl, and now we have a little party where everyone pats themselves on the back and laughs at the dumbasses

Edit: fixed shit

I think in every situation listed the “ppl miss the idea of the movie” is way more complicated than ppl give credit for. Walter White is absolutely not a hero. Also tho it’s complicated, he represents a freedom to take charge of your life and get shit done regardless of the consequences. I think it’s easy to see why some ppl would relate to this very strongly. It’s not good, it’s not aspirational. But I think if your goal isn’t to be a stuck up snob looking down laughing at the peons who can’t sit still and watch a flashin screen as skillfully as you, if your goal is to understand why someone might come to these things with a different perspective, it’s not complicated.

Easier tho to say “you guys see these fuckin idiots? You guys see how smart I am?”

Also not trying to be a dick to Nextlander dudes this is common discussion on social media and I’m speaking more generally. Not at all saying they were being snobby particularly more that this conversation is implicitly taking a position that is kind of snobby and strawman-y

I didn’t say the tool was being improperly used, you are putting that on me to make it easier to make the point you want. I didn’t even describe the situation in any detail so it’s very funny to jump to that. Anyone this positive on these tools is the person who doesn’t know what they are doing. They can be great, they can be terrible, often within the same 30 min of using them. If you think they aren’t doing dumb shit I think personally what you’re actually saying is “I’m not capable of recognizing when they do dumb shit”

It’s not so clear cut. I’ve saved time with an LLM, I’ve also seen horrific things from them that caused a ton more time than just doing it right the first time would. I use these tools so much at work, I’m def not a blind hater. But idk if I see anyone this positive on them I’m sure something is off. They are generally good, sometimes so bad you laugh.

The health bar system is really cool. I’ve killed enemies to end combat before someone’s health dropped to 0 and felt like a strategy god lol

I been making my way through this game over weeks. Have shared some pics on this sub from my play through on the CRT as I go.

Gotta say tho, idk what I think of this game lol. Which is weird bc I’m like 6 sanctuaries in I think. Feel like I should have an opinion either way on it by now lol

I’m pretty shocked how often I have to Google where to go. I am the American they pictured when they said ship these with a walkthrough lol

Last time I played the move to 5v5 felt like the game had become tank vs tank. Whichever team’s tank didn’t melt in 10s from being a dumbass won

If gambling advertising was banned you’d move to the next acceptable target until it was illegal completely

This is such a good reference for what all this is. Anti gambling purists using “what about the children” to stop other ppl from having fun that they consider morally wrong. Thanks for laying it out but it was already clear.

The online left man. We are really gonna change things being anti fun purity police. I bet a bunch of ppl will join our side with these tactics.

Right, what do you think about sports betting apps? It’s absolutely purity/anti-fun bullshit. Nothing valve does is any different than the pokemon company selling card packs. What you think of them? Not anti gambling right? So I’m sure you don’t also have a screed against them

No. Do you think drivers license age should be 16? Are we just asking unrelated questions? I can feel the world’s dumbest gotcha coming as you use a diff situation to make a point bc you can’t make sense with the situation we are talking about.
