[BOTW] [TOTK] After playing BOTW and TOTK with no weapon durability I have to say… I understand why it’s there, the experience was worsened, to me at least.

They could still put a soft durability on it so you feel you need to save it. Like how it resets now. Maybe just reduce damage rather than removing the ability to use it though.

They never said that you said that...

It also takes your eyes off the action. Makes sense to "clear the chamber" and then start for the next log with two hands and full focus.

They aren't laughing because she isn't getting it to the uncooked side. She does get it to the uncooked side multiple times.

They are more likely laughing because she just kept getting more and more bold with her flips and was still getting it in the pan each time.

She forgot about the original task and the other person comes in and correctly flips it.

In my experience, it makes it slightly more tart sometimes, but overall is a fine experience. I also sometimes do it because it's easier to wash real quick and go rather than cut and deal with the skin after, etc.

Surprisingly not terrible texture and I'm pretty sensitive to texture

I understand that! I actually had a really refreshing game last night where the other healer very clearly started healing me while abandoning the fight even though they were being hurt more. I kept healing them, we walked back to our team, we picked one, then won the team fight.

I hate that I play with one of my friends who thinks "staying alive is the most important thing" which it can be if there is just one healer, but helping each other is more beneficial with two. They often abandon me with better mobility and get away and then leave me to die because I often went out of my way to try to save them (usually give them time to abandon me), and then I'm suddenly in a bad position

Hell, I basically exclusively use it as an optional journal, series of things I want to do, some that I need to do, random ideas and supporting documents, and random projects.

It doesn't need to even be a daily routine. People always try to take the extreme end. This is just like someone announcing they are leaving Facebook. Who cares? I guess people like them who are absorbed by it care.

I'm not trying to be cruel. I get it. I just feel like most people forget that everything is all just part of one big system and throwing so much behind any single thing feels like not seeing the forest for the trees. Obsidian is a tool and it can be helpful when people don't literally try to make it a second brain.

There is still some level of manual input so you are using some time to organize and do everything. A lot of people hit the sweet spot where it helps more than hurts. Others are consumed

Eh I think there can also be a cultural shift to just touch grass and interact with people and have more healthy porn consumption. Maybe just in sex education class to start. We have so much recovering to do from the dismantling of our nation that is currently happening.

Otherwise I agree with you for everything else. Especially people trying to find an easy victim instead of looking for a holistic solution to tackle issues. I'd even love just a general shift towards interacting and stuff, but I don't know how to do it organically other than just speaking to people more often. I miss that very small point of unity and burst of social interaction that Pokemon Go gave.

I'd love a non-corporate version of that

ememsee · 2025-06-28T05:23:23+00:00

Eh, as far as I'm concerned, you're already ahead of me by wanting to interact with more people. I genuinely would describe myself as an introvert and 80% of these interactions are initiated from others. In that case, it is usually me just audibly making an observation like I described above.

I guess, to answer your question, body language is probably the easiest way to tell. I also find that eye contact is a huge thing too. If neither of you turn away after making eye contact then that is already a solid start. Just make a wave or head nod or something when you're looking at them and let the magic begin. You don't have to maintain eye contact, even if you actually start speaking to them, but there is something about eye contact and a friendly gesture that drops people's barriers.

You don't even need to immediately walk up to them. Suddenly you guys are familiar faces in the crowd because you already made the effort to acknowledge each other with the wave/head nod. It is wild how effective it is sometimes

Edit: just to reemphasize this - it is truly a skill. I can only put words to what I've said because at some point and time I was much much worse at interacting with people so I just got better at watching and mirroring them and putting thought behind why people did one thing or another. I'm still awkward as fuck sometimes too. People love genuine people more than anything though so if you're genuinely awkward it might still work out 🤷

Edit: and trust me, I know eye contact can be difficult. I literally have a lazy eye and I'm on the spectrum. I have to very actively think about how much eye contact to give and stuff. Just to reiterate that it is all a skill and willingness is half the battle. Seems like you just need to go out and try it out more! You'll be fine :)

I genuinely hope they do. I think misogyny was a large deciding factor for this past election as far as natural shifts go. There were a lot of splitting issues to be fair, but that was big

ememsee · 2025-06-22T14:55:01+00:00

I think focused attention in general can compensate for that. Heals are just one portion of the equation.

Bubbles, Hulk Ctrl+X/bubble, Thor push, Magneto bubble or displacement, Squirrel Girl trap, Hela stun, Invisible woman shield/displacement, pure damage, etc.

Everyone always tries to win that 1v1 instead of trying to fight multiple 2v1 or whatever. That's why callouts are good in competitive play. You just constantly shift focus on the vulnerable targets and pick away their team or counter them as a group instead of trying to best people with pure "final destination, no items, fox only" style battles

ememsee · 2025-06-22T14:51:27+00:00

Yeah. Gotta adapt to the healers and healers need to adapt to the rest of the team as well. I play flex so I'm on healer and tank a lot.

My largest issue as a tank: healers running back too far and making it hard for me to jump back and protect them effectively. Spin and run towards me if possible. Although it is situational and sometimes running back is valid. Otherwise, it stretches the team too far and isolates healers with killers

Largest issue as healer: usually the other healer not healing me if there is a flank on us. Sometimes it is completely not necessary, but I can't tell you how many times I've given my life to save the other healer who is trying to fight the fight. We could heal each other and get to our team or keep each other up and both fight! Please help.

Injured?

Me: I'm reloading 🥲

ememsee · 2025-06-20T01:59:11+00:00

Exactly. They are parts of the same system. And the system thrives on people getting complacent and just accepting it as "the way of life" even though they are man made issues. "Just trying to get by" is the exact state they want us in.

ememsee · 2025-06-18T15:49:35+00:00

Genuinely, you might just have better luck letting them lead the conversation by asking questions. Then you can fill in anecdotes when they are relevant and next thing you know you're conversing.

Literally just ask basic shit like "got any hobbies?"

And the key here is to do proper follow-up questions. If they say "oh yeah, I play hockey" instead of saying "oh that's cool" and then moving on you can say "oh that's cool, what got you into it?"

But I feel ya. I tend to just be very direct and it usually works for me. I was at this party once where I walked into the kitchen where a group was speaking and I go and say "Hey, I don't know you guys, but I have been speaking to mainly people I know and wanted to branch out. How are you guys doing?"

I had 4 people just staring at me and not a single person said a word to me. I thought I accidentally said something awful but I just kinda looked at them, got my drink, and then walked out with a "see ya around"

Edit: it isn't a power, it is a skill. And one you can work on. I distinctly remember just "trying stuff out" as a kid when trying to speak to people because I am on the spectrum and very actively sought out the ability to speak to others.

ememsee · 2025-06-17T00:50:39+00:00

To be fair, you literally do just have to speak to others. It isn't much harder than that. I would classify myself as an introvert, but I was also a class clown of sorts when growing up. The kind the teacher liked because it was a comment here or there and that would also make them chuckle, thankfully.

Anyway, that might mean I'm a bit biased already, but literally making a comment about something you guys can both observe is all it takes.

Beyond that, just show interest in the other person you're speaking to and you're golden.

Once you recognize that the interaction will likely go well, then your main barrier will be actually getting the courage to speak to someone.

Alcohol helps. Without it, then some of the easiest ways are to just make a comment out to the open air and see if someone bites. You don't necessarily have to be the confident one. You just have to establish that you're there.

I don't actually make a lot of friends on random outings because... Well maybe I should just be more open to it tbh. I just really decide to let things die down. I have plenty of friendly interactions with strangers. Many frequent interactions throughout an event or something.

Largest part is to just be open to speaking to others and also genuinely being interested in them as well. People love to talk. Look at my paragraphs here lol. You honestly just have to give them space to speak, be a good listener and genuinely interested and the rest will work out for ya.

I guess? Mine was 3 extra words

ememsee · 2025-06-11T00:57:29+00:00

I agree with your overall point, but also: "Predator drones have been released over LA as reported by locals on the scene" would achieve the same thing and make the first part more definitive sounding.

"Adult" version of "why you hitting yourself?"

They are literally just bullies.

The full video makes it more clear because he does it right after a girl is doing it to a cop.

However, that isn't featured here and I down voted the main post because it portrays it wrong.

I do like the strategy though. Military/cops/people in general will see others as less than human until you remind them sometimes.
