(I think you were trying to reply to me)
Yeah there’s probably something out there for everyone, the world of vidoegames is incredibly vast.
While some people vibe with many things others gravitate only to a niche. I lucked out on finding something I love, even though I played my first videogame already as an adult, but I was always curious about them so there’s that. I had the curiosity, and through friends the chance to try things out without really commiting at first.

For video games I was a casual until I found a genre that clicked for me, and kept me wanting to go back to that world and gameplay formula. what keeps someone coming back will vary person to person, but for me in short it was a combination of the story, art direction and gameplay mechanics.
Before that I could get really invested in a game, but jumping to a similar one would easily burn me out. Finding your thing can take a lot of trial and error, and like you said for some people is just not worth the time / money investment.

Hopefully they didn’t, as it just would be inacurate data. But yeah I think whomever made the graph just put top image search result and nobody in the publication cared enough to check… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh it’s real, I promise. But it’s an endemic plant, not well known outside the region; that’s why I attached some pics ;). Not your typical catus fruit.

Nice name suggestion!
As far as I’m aware, males get the lanky look after they reach maturity and molt for the last time, since feeding stops being a priority for them; pedipalps also change and thats an sure sign of a mature male T. I think they are indistinguishable before that?
This one was actually pretty skinny when that pic was taken since she had recently molted . So far all of my mature T’s have turned out to be females so…

Saguaro
Keepin it botannical, good suggestion.
she’s got those frosted tips
My bad, that’s the flash reflecting on the urticating hairs. under mormal light conditions those leg segments look just the tiniest bit lighter that the upper leg.

I find it cool that you have such a solid group of friends to game with, it looks like you guys have tons of fun! ( I’m envious). Some 14 years ago, when I got casually into gaming; my crowd were mostly just drinking buddies, so sadly that didn’t stand the test of time…

Back In the day up untill the 80’s-90’s (at least in my country) many show dubs were fully localized, specially cartoons, since tons of english humour / puns didn’t translate well; media took a sort of life of it’s own, but most dubs were really good. But that has fallen out of style a lot since the 2000s, which is natural. Sadly we also copied the trend of using famous people instead of professionals to do dubbing aaand that killed it or me.
Lacalization is not always bad. I get that media loses it’s original intent because of it. But there have been great examples of localization, like the asterix comics.

Message is not comming through to you sug, so no point in continuing this back and forth any further, have a nice day.

Not everything is for everyone, of course. But I argue that everything, any game genre should be accesible for anyone who wants to try, and like with anything else, people will filter themselves out if it’s not for them.
I love soulslikes, I love the struggle. but I also happen to be intimately familiar with disability, and I know that disabilities and people with disabilities are all different. A blanket accesibility solution like difficulty opions would just level the barrier of entry for some people with a disability. That’s what I’m arguing should exist. So more people get to experience this piece of art. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ that’s just my take.
Also, I’m not assuming you to be any kind of person, it’s just the most used argument against difficulty options I’ve seen.

Parrying is not mandatory in any of those games, maybe try approaching them differently? Also, invest in endurance, problem solved!
- Comment on Gaming Pet Peeves 1 month ago:
You are failing to see that people with some sort of disability are already against impossible odds, not only in the game but in life. They already know that feeling you talk about, why not let them partake in this piece of art? It will still be a challenge.
If your worry is that normies would exploit this and not “earn” their victory, it also does not affect your experience of the game at all. Just like nobody is going to force you to do a SL1 run - that’s a choice-, why not have that the other way arround? :)

That depends on the player; It’s as hard as you want it to be, (you can over level if you’re struggling, or do a challenge run staying under level, no upgrades, etc.) definitely not hard compared to today’s soulslike standards. If you are new to the genre it may take some adjustment, but the game is worth it.
