We need to get over save-scumming as a community. What one player does in a single-player game doesn’t affect anyone else.

The problem of feeling weird/anxious/whatever about having more options in how to play a game, is flat out strictly inferior to the problem of not being able to play the game because you just can’t get the skill.

“About why I would prefer a game to not have difficulty choice, it just gives me anxiety that im not playing the funnest experience the game has to offer.”

Why not have games have challenging and easier modes? That you can select? With a button? So that more people can enjoy the game the way they like to? Does it diminish how cool your Hard Mode run was, if someone else just wanted to see the story?

There is, to give a teeensy grain of credit to the challenge fetishists, an exploit in autosaving where you can just alt-F4 your game (or cut power to console, or whatever) to crash back to the autosave as a form of save-scumming.

Having the option to get up and do something else is not making the game easier. It’s called a quality of life feature.

My partner got a big fat “we dunno” from doctors when he went in for insomnia. They told him the usual -- consistent sleep times, melatonin, no caffeine, etc. -- and he did all that and while it helped some, it definitely didn’t fix the issue altogether. He’s still perpetually tired. And these were like, actual sleep…

Oh, Storrow, the trap for new Boston students. “I can totally fit this truck under the bridge even though the clearance sign says I can’t!”

I’m not going to ask a politician to give up his pet because it’s of the “wrong breed” though. I’m not sure what they were supposed to do?

I’m not surprised. If he’s racist, he won’t want anyone to dig into the proof. If he’s not racist, he knows people will misinterpret anything to get juicy scandal.

Can we not let the white supremacists own the “OK” gesture? Please?

Tabasco is mostly-flavorless vinegary bullshit, and it’s not even hot. Hot sauce is where artisanal is basically mandatory for flavor.

Hey, all’s fair, etc. Get some cute nerd boys in Speedos in a hot tub, and I’ll watch the hell out of that.

“They need broccoli to be cheaper than a pound cake. Go to the grocery outlet, look at what things cost. That’s what people need.”

Hearing that the Presidential Fitness Test is really just thinly veiled military prep because Eisenhower felt insecure about our kids compared to Europe’s, is...so telling somehow.

I am not a lawyer, but my totally lay-person guess is that it’s assault, if not battery.

Oh hell no. First, the jerk kid who cut her hair needs to be disciplined. Second, the parents can deal with asymmetric hair. Not only is it often in style these days to have asymmetric haircuts, so the salon probably did a fine job, but you don’t make any semi- or permanent changes to a child without absolutely asking…

Weird fact, this was in a video game I played. At least in some places, cutting hair counts as assault but not bodily harm, because hair grows back. But it really depends on your location.

Something like 10-20, but they’re all scattered through different moods I play a lot of these in parallel, depending on what I feel like.

I admit I’m a fan of old-fashioned scrambled eggs.
