Mini Metro is excellent - it’s very relaxing... for a while, but if you really want to do well you’re going to get into some extreme micro-management and decision making to keep those passengers happy. It’s actually designed for phone (PC version is a port) and works a bit better with touchscreen. Your best thing…

‘Oh that looks nice’ *click* ‘Huh, already in my inventory’

Comparing going to the moon (or black lives matter) to beating a video game makes how silly this is fairly stark. There is no merit or advancement in beating a video game except for your own enjoyment, unless you are so amazingly good at it that you can get tens of thousands of people to watch it.

It means I like the rest of the game and the lazy roadblock boss is just an obstacle to be overcome as easily as possible. This isn’t because of lack of skills - I’ve beaten Ninja Gaiden (most of them, not the bad ones), Ghosts ‘n’ Goblins, all the Dark Souls games, and Bloodborne - it’s because I know when things…

Overnight even. Quit, sleep on it, come back the next day - boom, suddenly it’s easy.

I think this is a variation of an engineering thing called the ‘cardboard dog’. You can be completely stuck on an engineering problem, and as soon as you start explaining it to someone else suddenly everything’s obvious - because it forced you to organize your thoughts properly and become aware of unstated…

I find that if it’s late and I’m just banging my head on something I should just stop and take a huge break - till the next day! Usually I’ll then beat the previously impossible challenge in a couple minutes - one failed try to get my bearings back, then the next one is smooth as heck.

That assumes that spending time working on a video game boss is something worthwhile. It’s usually not. I don’t normally like boss fights either - it’s not the bit of the game I enjoy. I just want to get over this artificial roadblock ASAP so I can go back to exploring like Kirk.

You should be feeling alive for the first time in years.  Turn off your phone and go outside for a bit!

Gee, and right after PUBG cloned Fortnite’s Event Pass, how about that.

Dang, that’s amazing. Sure puts Sony’s lazy PS4 editions to shame.

I ordered I mean backed one for Ikaruga.

They measured the temperatures with this on - they don’t go up while playing. Basically, there’s still some airflow and the Switch doesn’t run fast enough when handheld (it cuts back to 40% power) to generate much heat.

A bit of a Papa y Yo vibe. Which is good (hopefully fewer technical problems).

The story was decent (the whole thing about his father was really neat), it was just let down by the rest of the game.

I really liked Syndicate. AC3 was easily the worst in the series with its unlikable protagonist, stubby towns, and worst of all the terribly designed missions where you’d desync for not doing everything exactly as the outsourced guy scripting it demanded.  (I did like the wildernesses).

You’re not setting the rules, but you are defending them.

I’m not setting the societal rules, I’m only (and have been since the first post) outlining some very basic coping and politeness skills for non-black people. You’re arguing about something else entirely.

I am just telling you which words you should not be saying out loud in public if you don’t want to be fired, yelled at, or otherwise ostracized.

Not in Brit.. OH I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE
