  It is, but that’s not the viewpoint they used in the meme

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Land of the Free!*⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not OP, but I’ll give my two cents anyway (I like the sound of my own voice… Or I guess the look of my own text in this case)

  Why would I want your post deleted

  You came off a bit adversarial in the first comment. I would believe you meant to come off as curious, but unfortunately text doesn’t translate tone well.

  Why would you do it if I wanted you to

  Human decency. You could also block them, but that’s your perogative.

  But yeah please explain how you’re enslaved

  The US government does a lot of work to make sure slavery stays legal, they just don’t use that word. Private prisons are the most obvious example of this, but they’re also stripping freedoms and rights from individuals who have never been incarcerated. They make a show every now and then to make it seem like that that’s not what they’re doing, but if you really take a look at the policies that are getting pushed right now and have been pushed in the last few years, you’ll see it.

  I can’t remember which state it is, but at least one of them are trying to pseudo-reinstate Jim Crow laws or whatever it’s called when they restrict voting. Married women, older people and the disabled are being intentionally pushed away from polls by making the ID requirements stricter. And that’s one of the tamest examples I’ve seen lately

  20 minutes till dawn and disfigure are my go-to topdowns

  TL;DR: Game balance is incredibly complex, and the amount of attention to detail required is insane in order to keep all of these in check. You can do anything with anything if you know how.

  Just to piggyback, it’s actually possible to do any of these with mechanics or numbers, although depending who you’d ask this breakdown is either spot on or the wildest shit they’ve ever heard because game balancing is a weird difficult concept.

  Precision Numbers: Think overflow. Whoops, you missed the mark by 1 or 2 and wasted some points.

  Precision Mechanics: Best example I can think of is a bullet hell or a racing game as you explained. More enemies/bullets = less space to maneuver.

  Complexity Numbers: Think bloated idle games and daily quests (aka Tedium)

  Complexity Mechanics: Like adds on a raid boss. Extra things to worry about.

  Timing Numbers: Time attack in a racing game is a great example of this

  Timing Mechanics: Quick time events, but only if they’re done well

  Punishment Numbers: Less HP, more damage, etc. fairly obvious

  Punishment Mechanics: Again going back to rogue likes, it’s not uncommon to have multiple types of HP which swings Punishment around depending on how those types of HP work.

  Resource Consumption Numbers: Drop rates, mana, health pools

  Resource Consumption Mechanics: Usually this is where layering resources occurs, gear and a skill tree or a skill tree and temporary buffs, etc. Metacurrency can be considered either mechanical or numbers based depending on how it’s handled.

  We largely see the show from the perspective of Brain. It’s not unbelievable that Pinky, or some of the “stupid” things he says are hallucinations, whether visual or auditory and that Brain attributes his hallucinations to Pinky’s “stupidity” due to the Dunning-Kruger effect.

  Obviously, this is a death of the author interpretation but… I think we all died this year anyway so that feels alright

  Right? It would be so much cheaper if we just used to the reinforcing steel to create thin tracks which we could put much more thermally efficient and eco-friendly wheels onto. In turn, we could carry exceptionally large loads of cargo or people over vast distances for a mere fraction of the cost (monetary) and a fraction of the cost (to the world) by creating long, highly aerodynamic vehicles capable of moving at ridiculously high speeds that would be uncontrollable for the average joe on the road.

  Wait, haven’t I heard of something like this before?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THE CLASS WAR IS BACK, BABY!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t remember if this was said to me or if I overheard it. Maybe I’m fabricating the memory entirely, but in any case, I recall a conversation where someone said almost exactly what you did in that last sentence. The reply was of course

  “Well someone always gets hurt.”

  “What do you mean?”

  “It costs someone money to put those bathrooms in.”

  Cue the “what the fuck did I just hear” alarms

  That’s actually a pebble, not a rock

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Out of context Arcane spoiler⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I get it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is lacking something metaphysical⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I’m like this and it’s not really a trauma thing for me. I’m just autistic and ADHD which basically means I take advice too seriously and I have a bad habit of getting into someone’s field of view or in their way by accident. As a result of being advised to be less visible every time I got in someone’s view, I accidentally became invisible. It’s something I’ve been working on lately actually and I’ve noticed I scare people less often since I started thinking about it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why women live longer then men⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can not get to you under the blanket

  Good point.

  There actually an interesting reason behind this.

  And here’s the real one, if anyone is interested. Alligators are ambush predators, and they don’t do very well with twisting. They’re designed to go forwards, and boy oh boy do the GO FORWARDS. So, poking at it’s side actually does make it hesitant because it is afraid that whatever is touching it over there is just as fast as it is. However, whatever is over there touching it’s side doesn’t have to twist, whereas it would. Therefore, it sits still and hopes that you either get in front of it, pass over it, or at least be swift.

  Some frontends actually have a button that does it automatically and even puts my cursor between the marks conveniently

  They’ve done away with some of this with the time walking features. You can actually go and level a character through those old expansions these days. I think the only one fully missing is vanilla because of the cataclysm, but then there’s vanilla wow for that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The other shoe drops, and this time it is covered in dog shit⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was in a similar place, but now I’m in a slightly dumber place. I have a solid savings buffer, and an okay income but I put the bulk of my savings into a certificate and then ended up needing my liquid savings for nonsense.

  So I have a solid savings buffer, but I can’t touch it lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The other shoe drops, and this time it is covered in dog shit⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lord yeah. The money saved by not paying for all those streaming services might actually be able to buy a yacht, fuck the coffee

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creating new wage slaves is child abuse⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  While you’re not wrong, this also isn’t a counterpoint to what I said. I’m not sure if that was your intention.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Child support⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It does, but on Android I can (well honestly I hit the little Italics button on voyager and it does it for me, with those) just press shift 8 for *

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creating new wage slaves is child abuse⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but I don’t live in nature so what do I give a fuck? I just want people to stop being assholes to each other

  I used to do the /Italics/ a lot but over here we use markdown so it’s just as easy to do *italics* like this

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please dont feed the creatures 🪱⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember, back in middle school, reading about this guy who requested to be on the sex offender list because he noticed as he got older that the age group he was interested wasn’t changing. He started feeling attraction in middle school, towards middle schoolers, and it never changed.

  Imagine my fear when I started feeling attraction to people in middle school lol.

  But in any case, yeah. There are some people who notice they have a gross aspect about them and they go and fuckin do something about it. I’m a narcissist. I have a superiority complex. I have all sorts of issues and I’m super honest about them and I try to fight them in my head every day.
