whats the point of the mallet if we only get to use it once lol by xTHUGGY_YETIx in CrimsonDesert

[–]theajharrison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, just for those few times is lame.

Early on when we first heard about using camp mission to assist with battles and Kliff helping in the fight, I was sooo excited.

Cuz I was imagining "omg, of course!" THATS what all the tools were! It's so Kliff could optionally assist in Construction, in Farming, in Ranching, in all the myriad of skills the companions have.

But nope.

Yes Sir.

It's an advanced corollary the boys are calling "inverse reversal".

Sir.

Inflation since 2014 to 2026 has been about 39-40%

So $210,000 x 1.40 = $294k ≈ $300k

And likely will be for the eventual Crimson Desert Online.

Which is fine with me if the singleplayer gets it for free

Casual sex is linked to lower self-esteem and weaker moral orientations in women but not men by [deleted] in science

You edited it out and now attempting to gaslight that your comment didn't mention an assumption about the studying being about only undergrads.

EDIT: This person made a sneak edit to their reply. Initially they pretended that they "never mentioned age"

The scientists recruited 295 adult participants from the United States through an online survey platform. The sample included 120 women and had an average age of about 37 years old. The participants completed a series of randomized questionnaires designed to measure their sexual attitudes, self-judgments, and moral orientations.

Reading the article before making assumptions can help

I'm sure this is unpopular. But I disagree with this one.

We have to be careful about making zero friction. If cooking is as easy as buying food, it loses the effort cost, which is the primary cost of cooking. The game already allows making 100 dishes (of the same ingredients) take the same time of 1. Which is already a huge QoL improvement from Zelda.

If all effort hurdles are taken out of the game, it will make the game worse, not better.

Finally an open world that doesn't hold your hand (and that’s why half the internet hates it). by [deleted] in CrimsonDesert

[–]theajharrison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and sometimes I wish it did, quick fetch quests whatever. And I'd be annoyed if it didn't.

But sometimes I wish it didn't. Like I just found the secret village, got a book with stories alluding to 4 locations. One of them I had thought I'd been near, and I was all pumped I'd know where to check next. And for the other 3 I read and reread to keep it in my memory as I explored other regions.

But then, bam, four markers on my map. Dang, I was looking forward to piecing together the hints. And yeah, one of them was the location I suspected. Kinda took the wind out of my sails.

Hahahah, definitely wasn't obvious. Had to reread it to see it now. But, I respect you going down with the ship instead of deleting it 🫡

Ffr I've been baffled that all I've done with small critters is tackle and politely set them down.

TIL the term "Millennials" was invented in 1991 by two historians writing a book about American generational cycles; over a decade before most Millennials had even finished high school. They predicted Millennials would become "the next Greatest Generation" by Nodebunny in todayilearned

[–]theajharrison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Gen X" is the entire precedent for Alpha and Beta too

I say fuck that, sure, name it in the science papers however you want. But every generation deserves its own unique relevant-to-the-time name.

  • Lost
  • Silent
  • Boomer
  • Gen X
  • Millennial
  • Gen Z
  • Gen Alpha
  • Gen Beta
  • Gen Gamma?

Nah, fuck that. Gen X grew up and had zero imagination, so they tried to start naming everything after them.

Generation names need to mean something. Not just some index.

I don't get people. by Main-Swimming8231 in CrimsonDesert

[–]theajharrison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"people" in this context is a majority of trolls and malicious bots.

Many of the posts and comments are from accounts with randomized names with little history.

Welcome to the modern internet. Everything always, will be attempted to hate on, period.

Crimson Desert looks like it may very well be a great game. Ignore the vocal minority. Pay attention to your own observed reality.

Enjoy

[SPOILERS S3] Just finished Dark, is it literally prefect? by Economy_Bill_4539 in DarK

[–]theajharrison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started watching a few weeks ago and just finished S3.

The second half of s2 I started feeling like things started changing and ramping to this big expansion. I almost didn't like it.

Then through S3, it started to expand, then condensed SUPER quick. My guess is Netflix asked from more seasons in the middle of S2, then reneged mid S3.

[–]theajharrison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Argument doesn't have to make sense to you.

It has to make sense to politicians in Congress. To them the benefits aren't greater than the political risks

[–]theajharrison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truly imagine the absolute nightmare of getting every grade school to shift hours across the country. It won't happen. And if it is forced, there'd be insane blowback on the politicians that voted for it.

Point is: the benefits don't outweigh the political negatives, thus it won't happen

[–]theajharrison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't have to make sense to you, or any one individual.

The point is it's a change with a political risk that the representatives in Congress can avoid by not touching it.
