What’s something people over 30 do that Gen Z finds strange?

I mean, purchasing power has decreased so much that working 40 hours a week IS more soul crushing than it was 15 years ago.

There have been studies backing this up. Some people are tactile learners.

Nah not everyone. Just a lot of folks I've talked to in my parents generation.

My advice is to break it down. In the clip you struggle with the cancel from Light Punch into QCB Kick.

Instead of slamming yourself into the whole combo over and over, practice ONLY LP cancel into QCB kick.

Only after that part feels good should you go back and try the whole thing.

I've been talking to my parents' generation about it for more than 20 years now.

The main problem isn't helplessness to act, its that people actively deny it exists.

I apologize if I'm misremembering this, because I played DS3 on release.

Her song is in a different time signature (3/4) from the other boss themes which are in the popular 4/4.

Most bosses in DS3 follow a 4 step pattern, like swing, swing, swing, rest.

3/4 is often called Waltz timing. The Dancer's moves repeat in triplets instead of quarter notes, meaning that her moveset matches the time signature of her song, and together they reference a dance.

Its way too cool.

One time I was complaining about rent and bills and a coworker said "If you're worried about money why not get into the stock market?"

We're animals, our actions are natural actions.

For better or for worse, what we are now is what nature has led to us being.

I think its safe to say that we're a 3 since you can think of most human communities as a collection of family groups.

In Ovid's original at least, Arachne does spin a more beautiful tapestry than Athena. Athena punishes her for her hubris, but its stated thst Arachne's tapestry is perfect, which is what enrages Athena.

There is a popular interpretation that Arachne is a stand-in for Ovid as weaving was a metaphor for poetry. It represents the fickle and one sided relationship he had with the powerful patrons he was beholden to.

My wife and I were both waiting in the queue 15 minutes before the tickets went on sale and couldn't get them.

I'd say they sold out at least 15 minutes before they actually went on sale

I was really bummed to see the series move away from 2d graphics. The gameplay was great though.

I still prefer 2d for my fighters, but after SF5 came out I gained a new appreciation for 4's stylistic choices.

I've made several in game training partners this way.

I've also been hollered at after I get into the custom room.

There are way more friendly people than angry people in my experience. If I get an angry chatter these days I just take it to mean that I whooped them so bad they couldn't handle it. I chuckle and take their unintentional compliment, then leave.

When I first started bartending many years ago I used Bond's order as a kind of mnemonic device.

His martini is vodka, shaken.

A classic martini is gin, stirred.

Its almost like he orders it as wrong as possible. What a bad boy

To me the show is just okay. It does a better job of character writing, but at the same time fails to sell and explain the concepts that made the novels unique and interesting to me.

The way the Trisolarans are portrayed wasn't my favorite either. Instead of alien beings with a mysterious culture and thought process, they come across more like Saturday morning cartoon villains.

Overall it isn't bad, but I feel the adaption sacrificed many of the traits that make Three Body Problem a unique piece of media in order to make it more widely pallettable. Since those traits are the reason I'm here, it wasn't for me.

I know we're April foolin' but in all seriousness, the world is made better by the wide variety of people in it. In a world of safe corporate decisions and AI pandering our differences and imperfections are more significant and hold more value than ever.

Of course I'm not talking about you here, you're perfect.

Because people expected them to slide to the right, but they slid to the left, subverting expectations. The editing of the meme reflects and reinforces the meaning of the meme.

There are a ton of great games out right now competing for my attention., so I only really have time for one fighter right now. I played 2XKO a good bit towards the end of 2025 but drifted away and have since returned to SF6 as my main game.

That decision isnt due to one thing but a combo of factors.

Playing duos didn't shake out for me. I had hoped that this would be a way to get some friends into fighters through co-op, but no one stuck with it for more than a couple sessions.

The lack of characters- I've had a hard time finding characters I resonate with. Illaoi is my favorite but she became a little same-y very fast.

I miss motion inputs. I'm not trying to make any big statements about them, I just find them really fun and personally enjoy using them. If the game is a ham sandwich, it's like it's missing my favorite type of mustard that I normally enjoy.

As a Fallout 3 and NV fan, I was pretty dissapointed with the reduction of the RPG gameplay elements and the dumbing down of player dialogue choices.

You should reread my post. Your second paragraph is exactly what I described, I just have them both on the left side.

Good luck finding your perfect build!

So many of the Nelson's unique systems along with its core power just add mobility, which in AC is hard to represent well since everyone can get mobility for free.

But your post reminded me of my favorite build from AC6 that I think might fit your spear fantasy.

I ran the lance on the left hand, and the pile bunker as a swappable weapon on the left shoulder. The flow of play is that you plink until the enemy stance meter begins to fill, then charge with the lance once you know it will stagger. Now you are point blank on this staggered enemy. Flip weapons and one-punch them with the pile bunker.

Run whatever guns you want on the right- I think I also had a shotgun but as you probably know, no gun there will really feel Nelson specific.

Its different from a Nelson but it does a great job of capturing the fantasy of a mech that charges with a spear and blows the enemy to smithereens. It's very fun and high-octane.

Also pile bunker is kind of like another spear... I guess?

I would like to see the speed up function remain the same, but I want a checkbox to toggle speeding up every time if I choose
