  As a Russian, I’m always bewildered why everyone else seems to refer to Europe and Asia as separate continents. Like, y’all blind or something? Look at the map!

  And if you think it’s about geology or something, nuh-uh. It’s just a random convention coming from ancient perceptions, and it is heavily wrong. Eurasia is a single continent, and always has been.

  I see! Curious.

  How long term are we talking about? Because I remember being immediately surprised once I got awake. It’s not that I just don’t remember it now, specifically.

  Had that when I had a surgery under general anesthesia. They injected something, for about 20 seconds nothing happened, and next moment I was in the ward and everything was already done. Just instant time skip.

  You might need three diamonds to do something and make these structures operational :)

  Was my concern at first, but it just didn’t happen to me in my time using it, and glass looks sturdy and thick enough to survive it anyway. Didn’t test tho.

  Interestingly, Skyrim was exactly the thing I thought of when thinking of this trope’s origin, so there could indeed be something to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Never clean⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, things like PLA are generally fine

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Never clean⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Buying glass containers was a gamechanger for me.

  One swoop - and it’s clean. No grease sticks, it washes even easier than ceramic plates.

  Plastic is a terrible container material for greasy foods.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays an RPG⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I also slowly come to this realization. Having completed so many games without any consumables at all makes me more confident :D

  Besides, this should be worked through game design. If a player uses consumables in battle, chances are it’s already challenging enough. If it is then followed by harder fights and the player is empty, they will likely just ragequit at some point not to come there again, or will constantly switch the game’s difficulty if it’s available, which makes for an inconsistent and cheaty-feeling gameplay.

  In my first walkthrough of BG3, I think I only ever used healing potions, and even they were situational as I tried to keep Shadowheart stocked on spell slots, and my main character was a wizard (and for a large portion of the game, Gale was in a party too)

  Oh, and I straight up didn’t find Lae’zel, Karlach, or Wyll in Act 1, and I lost my chance to add Halsin and Minthara, so I was limited to casters + Astarion anyway. The game didn’t accentuate that I really, really need to look around, and that only struck me in Act 2, by the point I couldn’t return to Act 1. Still, I got Jaheira on my side, which basically turned every battle in an enclosed space into a meat grinder for enemies. Made it a challenge to get Minsc though, as hostile Boo is absolutely destroyed by this grinder too.

  Oh, these are indeed weird. Probably some power fantasies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays an RPG⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That is indeed a curious mechanic

  Maybe also having more consumables in the world and less fitting in your inventory would be a good thing? So that the player feels they’ll just waste it if they don’t use it, and it’s not that rare anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arc Raiders is testing a PvE mode because "a large and growing group" refuse to hunt each other⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  While there are plenty of people like this, there’s more to PvP than that.

  PvP is, first and foremost, about an unpredictable kind of danger. You can learn the behaviors of NPC mobs, and while you’ll look very cool dealing with 'em all, you may lose a thrill and adrenaline rush that comes with engaging the enemy you don’t know. And you don’t always know what the other person is up to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays an RPG⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  RPG has consumables (potions, scrolls, grenades…)

  Don’t spend on normal enemies, because there will be bosses

  Don’t spend on bosses, because there will be final boss

  Final boss: dies in a minute without you spending any

  Here we go again

  For some reason, I also had this jerk, expecting American notation, but here is not the case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon steams up the sauna⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not at all. I’m not saying separate gender saunas should be abolished, I merely make a case for the alternative.

  When me and my partner chose a gym to go to, a mixed sauna was among the positives. Neither of us would like it if it were separate.

  Should you choose one, you’re free to stick to those with separate options. It’s alright. I simply addressed the concern of potential sexual abuse happening in mixed saunas - on my watch, there were exactly zero instances of any inappropriate behavior. If this doesn’t help - so be it, separate options never went anywhere. Enjoy what brings you comfort and safety.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon steams up the sauna⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  European example shows it’s perfectly fine, though. And I don’t think American culture is so much different it cannot be imported one way or another.

  Personally, I find it very convenient since I go to the gym with my partner, and we can hang out together not only while training, but also relaxing after. This also helps coordinate our actions, so we don’t sit and wait for each other.

  That said, separate gender saunas should exist too for people who prefer them. They’re fine, too!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon steams up the sauna⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If that helps your anxieties: having gone to a mixed gym sauna for a long time, I have never ever seen anything remotely inappropriate. People just take the sauna, that is all. If there are any groups coming together, they may chat between themselves, but you’ll barely ever hear a stranger talking to you.

  Gym saunas specifically have enough surveillance and multiple controlled chokepoints where perpetrator would be immediately stopped and given straight to the authorities. So, one should be incredibly idiotic to even attempt something like that. In this sense, it is no less safe than any other monitored public facility.

  As a personal argument, a lot of predatory behaviors in men stems specifically from something being too limited and restricted. For people coming regularly to the mixed sauna, even those naked ones in some European places, a naked woman is just another naked person. When it becomes mundane, it stops having anything sexual attached to it.
