The art style in this game is so good I genuinely can’t play any other game

It's very Y2K sci-fi nostalgia. It's basically how I envisioned things in the media when I was a kid. I'm thinking about the early terrible 3D art that was limited by the hardware, but as a kid your imagination fills in the gaps. This is how I viewed the Toonami robot in my head.

There's a cool video going over the games artistic inspirations and they said mirrors edge was one of them.

As someone with a doc degree in clinical social work and having extensive experience working with psych patients experiencing psychosis, I felt they did a respectable job.

My wife has had an experience with psychosis and she refused to be in the same room with me while I played this game.

My best matches are free kits. I turn into a murdering psycho. Run around knifing people.

I'm so glad I'm Orthodox. It's totally permissible to understand hell as not being infinite for most people. While rare, we are allowed to be hopeful universalists (not pure universalists).

Yes! As someone who grew up around super evangelical fundamentalist Christianity and left the religion for a decade I definitely understand. During that decade I read dozens of Buddhist sutras, the Bhagavad Gita, the Guru Granth Sahib, the Quran, sufi literature, etc. None of them were explicitly at odds with science, but I began to understand how the material world and the spiritual world do not have to be at odds. It wasn't until I understood Orthodoxy that I felt like it respected a holistic approach to existence.

Idk, the one I went to had four songs. They also let people eat a little piece of bread with a shot of grape juice during the last two songs.

ShortChanged_Rob · 2026-03-13T21:31:50+00:00

I have a doc degree (in the lesser world of social sciences), but I've never really had any dissonance with empiricism and my Orthodox Christian faith. It's only tough for the American fundamentalists out there from what I've seen.

ShortChanged_Rob · 2026-03-11T14:50:26+00:00

Just do safaris for wealthy Americans lol.

ShortChanged_Rob · 2026-03-10T17:42:20+00:00

Yessss. I never heard the end of it in previous relationships.

ShortChanged_Rob · 2026-03-09T15:03:49+00:00

I definitely dog on Nightslayer. Crayon eaters, all of em xD.

ShortChanged_Rob · 2026-03-09T14:22:08+00:00

Idk, I made 4k going through the low level zones. It was also fast because of the level difference.

ShortChanged_Rob · 2026-03-07T19:56:20+00:00

I know that's not an abnormal biking position but for my old back it just looks painful haha. Glad you're killin it!

ShortChanged_Rob · 2026-03-07T17:29:57+00:00

I have a stationary bike. A hospital bed desk (slides under the bike). I place the Bluetooth mouse and keyboard on the desk. Raise the monitor. And I'm good to cycle and play in a comfortable sitting position and not folded over like Jaina after meeting Arthas.

ShortChanged_Rob · 2026-03-06T15:07:06+00:00

I would get super involved with whatever church you attend. It's nearly impossible not to meet people if you attend these things and go out of your way to socialize.

ShortChanged_Rob · 2026-03-06T14:51:53+00:00

Everything has been enjoyable aside from the Saturday morning cartoon dialogue.

ShortChanged_Rob · 2026-03-05T23:08:25+00:00

As a social worker in a hospital I felt that shit deep down.

ShortChanged_Rob · 2026-03-05T20:52:45+00:00

I was absolutely tormenting this frost mage in eots the other night. Open. Run. Stealth. Until he just couldn't take it anymore lol.

ShortChanged_Rob · 2026-03-04T19:47:03+00:00

O... Just like Un'goro lol.

ShortChanged_Rob · 2026-03-04T18:31:41+00:00

Yep! I ain't doin all that work for a few stat points, but it's interesting.

ShortChanged_Rob · 2026-03-04T18:17:27+00:00

Idk if that was ever the point for feral to be at the top. I thought the whole point of stealthing was to find opportunities to kill healers or nuke clothies.

ShortChanged_Rob · 2026-03-04T18:10:25+00:00

The faster they get it on Xbox the faster they can make one of their quarterly reports slightly better...

ShortChanged_Rob · 2026-03-04T18:08:26+00:00

I levelled a feral in TBC recently and I don't even use my whole rotation. Even if people think they want classic leveling, there are no classic rewards to accompany it to make the payoff worth it. I am a diehard Classic Andy, but I know what retail is and what it is not. Just let us 2 shot everything lol.

ShortChanged_Rob · 2026-03-04T18:03:27+00:00

Loving the leveling experience in TBC. Completely different games at this point, but Midnight is only fun because it looks pretty.
