- Comment on What game has the best tutorial, in your opinion? 1 day ago:
The first level of MegaMan x and good springs in fallout: New Vegas are really good examples of how to convey info to the player about how the game works and what you can do without pulling you out of the game itself a separate tutorial

- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 3 weeks ago:
Strawmanning because they won’t or can’t understand your argument, mistaking the map for the place usually because of equivocating on vaguely understood or multiple definitions, non-sequetor this is where someone just yaps for awhile based on the crap that falls out of their head based on the words they heard but didn’t get the point and is barely tracking

- Comment on What period was the "golden age" of TV in terms of content? 4 weeks ago:
I think the end would be around when Netflix started taking off, there was TiVo and similar recorded live broadcast/cable TV devices before but it was around then that larger groups of people went from watching scheduled TV to anything on streaming whenever, that change in viewing habits removed a monoculture around scheduled TV going back to black and white TVs & also changed quality dropping projects, development teams with experience, innovations, etc that don’t maximize streaming metrics. The beginning was probably around when they moved from more unscripted reality gameshow and variety shows to scripted drama and sitcoms around the 60s.

I hope their projects do well & I get I’m not the target audience for most of their stuff anymore, but I don’t think I can watch another fantastic four after how good the first half and soundtrack was to the last one and how terrible the second half was.

It’s more run away/chain reaction type events you want to avoid I think rather than a low % inflation or deflation that remains relatively stable, swing too far in either direction and you going to have problems.
