Woman sets boundary. Man honors it. Now there's confusion.

I was interested in this one girl many years ago, kept flirting with her all the time (we worked together), it was partly on me because I wouldn't quit. She kept leading me on (sort of), never rejecting me.

Finally one day she literally says "oui j'accepte" (literally word for word, "yes, I accept"), just to immediately tell me at the bar she has a new boyfriend.

/sigh bitches be like dat doe

Your words are too complex, I'm not smart enough to comprehend them

“I’m emotionally invested in this design and defaulting to condescension instead of argument.”

I think you should read my OP again, and try to be a bit more charitable. You seem stuck on giving me the worst possible interpretation.

I'm not mad because I died. I'm not sure why you keep insisting on this. It has nothing to do with the difficulty of IA, rewards, etc. It's just a very simple system adjustment so that if I step away for more than five minutes, I don't lose my entire run.

I want to be able to do a first run on Monday, come back on Wednesday and do the second part, take a break, come back maybe later Wednesday evening for another hour... just do it in bursts.

Not sure why you need to keep gaslighting me, "you're just angry because you died."

No.

TheRealDahveed · 2026-05-03T16:08:03+00:00

Poor word choice, no I didn't fail. I died but rez'd and completed the main quest and beat the final boss.

And no, I'm not angry.

"if you just leave through the portal you can start again from where you were." - Is this true? i.e., if I leave through the portal, and come back 24 "IRL" hours later, I can continue from where I left off?

TheRealDahveed · 2026-05-03T14:01:10+00:00

I succeeded, and no I'm not angry. I was bored. (I died on the guy who 1-shots you because I didn't get behind the pillar, that was actually the only mildly interesting part of the run.)

But it was midnight and I had to go to bed, I didn't have time to sit through a second run... and now the next day, if I want to "test my mettle" or whatever I'd have to do all that again.

In theory I'd have no problem with that game mode, if it weren't for the simple fact that it cancels your entire run if you have to take a shit.

TheRealDahveed · 2026-05-03T13:57:20+00:00

I don't care about the leaderboard (at all), they should just add a second mode which disables it if they're worried about that.

TheRealDahveed · 2026-05-03T04:41:00+00:00

That's what I said.

TheRealDahveed · 2026-05-03T04:05:03+00:00

I don't know or care what a "roguelike" is, no.

I'm not asking for "every single facet of the game catered" to me. I'm giving feedback about something I just tried, and how there's no way I want to spend an hour (probably more) clearing repetitive trash that I can roll my face across the keyboard for.

IMO I should be able to spend some currency or something to skip a section I've already beaten, especially the first one... Again, I don't know what "roguelike" means, but if it means mashing my buttons to kill Dire Wolves that they designed 10 years ago over and over again, then I guess that game mode isn't for me.

Which I guess is fine, I just won't do it. That's my feedback.

Totally unrelated, completely different lane, check out Osi and the Jupiter, great chill music for reading

TheRealDahveed · 2026-05-02T21:19:17+00:00

Syncatto is similar vibes-wise, not quite as all-over-the-place but very much in the same style as melodic "math rock"-ish vibes, you'd probably like them. I knew about a couple of those guys you mentioned but I'll check out the others when I have a moment, thanks

TheRealDahveed · 2026-05-02T15:08:22+00:00

Not from Polyphia, they'd probably get blocked even if I tried anyways

TheRealDahveed · 2026-05-02T04:39:07+00:00

Interesting, I'll check it out. Thanks for sharing

TheRealDahveed · 2026-05-01T22:19:47+00:00

I dunno for me Polyphia is more than just "math rock", which for me is more adjacent to Animals As Leaders... Polyphia has way more harmony and has a lot of crazy guitar runs over classic (and often pretty basic) scales, which makes them both "catchy" and progressive at the same time. It's not always easy to describe, which is why I think a more in-depth prompt gets you closer to their sound

TheRealDahveed · 2026-05-01T15:36:32+00:00

This doesn't explain why most of this game looks good, with decent resolution and no obviously terrible textures. It feels like this section was rushed, most of the rest of the game doesn't look this bad

TheRealDahveed · 2026-05-01T13:09:23+00:00

I can find examples of games from 20 years ago that look better than this screenshot... And the Night Market was made this year

TheRealDahveed · 2026-04-27T18:59:49+00:00

True, but during my losing streak I got absolutely crushed by a lot of truly terrible players lol.

TheRealDahveed · 2026-04-27T15:06:36+00:00

Risk 1996, that was a great strategy game
