You start battles with a debuff if you don't stretch every hour or so of save file time. You try to buy better gear through grinding, but inflation just keeps you weak significantly longer.

I did a 100% run my first time through, which ended up being REALLY long, and I made the same decision you did the first time. I did NOT load my file to see the other, and did not watch yours yet, so I'm due for a replay to see that through. My cheeks were dripping watching you play haha

I dropped Prime on my last resub period, and I've only made 1 order from them since, surpassing $35 and getting me free shipping. Prime isn't remotely worth it, and that's not even considering the distress it puts on employees and infrastructure.

Pro tip - don't "shoot" allies that aren't a 100% match with your personal ideologies. If you force your exact way of thinking, without being open minded yourself, you're actually closer to the problem than your accusation itself. Neither one of us is asking for violence, and that's not up to you.
Gemfruit (@gemfruit.bsky.social) reply parent
I think it's entirely a matter of how you frame me, which you've already disclosed your bias publically. If I say it with MY personal tone next to you, it wouldn't match the bad guy in your head, so no, you wouldn't freak out, if I used those exact words.

You're definitely right about that. In Vermont at least, tons of left-leaning people own firearms, some double digits, and even then it's just something they do and care about, not their entire life. I'm a huge nerd, and even I go to the range or shoot off a back porch now and again - it's common.

I guess "enough" is a hell of a bar for most of us. We all value our individual lives too much, and there isn't a joined movement to give people courage.

Blocking a receptor from a signal that initiates a process that induces feelings of calm, relaxation, tired, anti-inflammatory physiological reactions, etc, vs injecting adrenaline, are definitely two different things. I get what you're saying, but the programmer in me sees two different systems.

I like the foreground of A, but the more clear human body silhouettes in the beam. Also worth noting, while this is purely a graphic, the line "Don't run, we are your friends!" is borderline meme-status within my friend group, it's so incredibly memorable - try to work that into the game!

Don't over-prep packing, general ideas is fine, get things from A to B and sort later. On moving day, make sure to eat and drink normal amounts! It's so easy to get lost in project after project, wrapping up a room, etc, but you'll have such a better time if you keep yourself ready for the job.

I did EVERYTHING, and was damn near 1-hit territory on the final boss. I would have finished the game, saved, and then resumed and done everything else, but I was avoiding spoilers and didn't know that. FWIW, I believe the portals are red when your party level is below the recommended power needed.

It's also important to remember that a "hero" from the 90's for many of us, was whoever they put in front of a camera, spiced up with some dopamine hits via special effects, and made a lot of noise. We were too young to know anything, and he was highly entertaining / marketed towards us. Not a hero.

If you haven't already, it's crucial you toss in a Tom Jones "It's Not Unusual" reference into the game. 8-bit chiptune on a credits screen, poster on a wall, anything, but it must be done. Side note, that song is in English during the French version of the film, saw it on cable TV as a kid haha

I wonder if we'll see an ironic sort of new golden age of indie gaming if AAA and the "industry" die out as they are now. Indies do it for the love, and will never stop, and with more purchases going towards those games, us devs could sustain better, creating a healthy feedback loop.

What about it sucks? You definitely don't need Chipotle in your diet, or to eat out at all for that matter. I've put on some decent muscle with Costco salmon burgers (20g each), the least BS protein bars they have in bulk (10g), a touch from milk when having cereal, and a whey shake on heavy days.

I'm curious what YOUR objectives are with streaming, short-term and long term. Monetary? Simply having an audience? Enjoying yourself? Sharing your knowledge? I find framing how I define success or failure, and adjusting, often helps me. Trying is where I fail, just being me is where I succeed.
