I’m just here to say having a common name is really nice imo.

I know this is a shitpost but this perfectly catches one of the challenges of autism.
Yes, it happens. And er have tolerance, be authentic, diversity and all that but when it happens there is none of what I just listed.
The conversation partner will be hurt and/or angry. Or you mask it and damage (up to and including measurable health damage) yourself.
Sucks.

Hm, I have the feeling I said something wrong? In any case, no offense was intended.

Oh I can assure you it’s real. But it’s easy to see, even trump follows (followed - now he doesn’t need to anymore) this logic.
Its not funny if you have a pathological narcissist in your vicinity.

I’m not judging. Just advising 😁. And nobody needs to listen. But those who do might have a greater chance of keeping things in good condition

Exactly, there’s a reason why some people break their stuff all the time and some don’t.
But that’s okay. Man forges his own destiny.

You do you, I can only recommend not doing that.

From an IT view I can only strongly recommend against doing that. Unexpected things happen all the time and you don’t get coolness points for doing this.
Just carry it safe.
Also, from a user perspective moving to a new device at least costs time.
You’re also lucky you can rely on your muscles and nervous system. I regrettably don’t have that luxury which adds to the risk.

I think it got good press as jrpg and was well advertised on several platforms. Timing based attacks was possibly not related to all of this.
For me personally as friend of jrpgs it was as much a burden as it was an addition and I just wish there was a toggle to do it automatically for people like me who can be biologically incapable of pulling of timing at all times. So a little bit sad about that.

Ha. I posted before I read your answer. So sr4 too, interesting.

I also think gta is way overrated and I have the vice city cd soundtrack box 😉.
I find more entertainment in saints row, but the whole open world stuff brought me to the conclusion there are people like me where open world is a negative attribute.

It is awesome, I think so too. I just get distracted very easily 😁

No offense, that’s why I stated ‘can lead to’ to not include you on this. I myself was on a path to do this and got off my high horse. 😁

Oh yes so on board with you regarding Bethesda stuff. And it’s always technically a mess, for premium price. Often multiple times!
I think some people like to set their own rules and live in those worlds while I can not oversee the deficiencies and exploit the hell out of it out of spite (eg looting a shop standing on the merchant because he can’t see me doing it there)…

Maybe I can shine some light on the appeal.
Mixtape looks great to me and I’m not even from the US so it’s not a very relatable setting. However I like walking Sims and designed to be experienced. Sort of living through a slice of something different. An interactive experience.
Sims: like it’s grandfather little computer people. Just for watching, messing with. Maybe leave running on the side. I personally never got much out of it but can understand the appeal. Would rather leave “progress quest” running.
Mmorpgs were a great experience. When they were smaller it was similar to a pen and paper session with likeminded people. Now it’s more of an action multi-player game for mass appeal. Sigh. Seems more people like grinding to be able to grind even more over an rpg experience together.
Idle. To do something and yet nothing and still demand nothing of you. A friend has several hundred hours in tap ninja. Mind-boggling but still has its audience.
I think most of it is just circling around the definition of a game. I’d recommend getting off that thought since it can easily lead to gatekeeping. Yet there are games (especially mobile, ugh) that I despise but still, it’s gaming, theyre gamers. Just because it’s not my game or one that I like or see it as a game does not change that it is to someone else.

I’m on the ops side, engineer and thought I would enjoy it. But a few tries later the interface just didn’t click with me.

I tried it just recently, loved the details world and everything. Still have men questions but I lost lots of packages in the first river and rage quit, it’s just overwhelming.
The questions of what happens with this mission, packages, do I have to get them back, can I ignore it, will it bite me in the ass and so on are just lots of questions that are eating me up and I can not cope.
It should be a game, I want to enjoy gaming. I know thats a personal issue but damn I would’ve liked to enjoy it.

And I bought one cheap while on a trip to the US (being European). Was happy I got this curiosity cheap. Worth it for me.

Everything you said is correct. My gripe is mainly in the on the fly changes (as said, metroid other m -> made for the Wii) which tear me out of the experience.
If a game has good controls and sticks to it or switches at useful points, fine.
But anything that makes me refocus on outside of the game itself during the game is a distraction.
The same mistake is also made by some switch games (Wario ware, m&l brothership - Luigi b button).
And while the issue itself is known and also can add to bad review scores (other M) it seems to hit some people more and others less. For various reasons I get very immersed in games and hence I figure the disruption is even worse - it’s a personal thing.

Oh and literal reckless murderers.

Hm, that’s tough.
For perspective, I’ve owned a lot of systems from the NES on.
The first year of the Nintendo DS. The (first, Grey) system was quite ugly and there really wasn’t much great software coming out. That all changed after the first year, oh boy. My favorite system ever now.
The Wii. Too much gimmick stuff distracting from the experience (eg metroid wiimote shooting and wiimote sideways). So much shovelware!. It’s still a nice system (especially considering backwards compatibility too) but still.

Oh I wasn’t talking about self harming patterns. It’s the neurotypical harming us/me routinely.
(without evil intent but just as a result of the 99% vs 1% behavior, so it’s just normal)
