This is one of the best turn based games from the last two years. I put it up there with Etrian Odyssey V, Persona 5, and Ni No Kuni II (even tho it’s not turn based). If you’re looking for AAA cute turn based action, it doesn’t get better than this. It’s not as difficult as an Atlus game, and the art is just a bit…

It is your friend’s fault tho. Anyone can move to a hot city (e.g. Austin, Seattle, etc.) and get a job in construction making $25 an hour with little/no experience. That takes a lot of motivation and sacrifice tho, it’s much easier to stay in your hometown and sit on the couch the rest of your life. Guys I see in…

I consider a lot of things worse than video games because it’s either really dangerous (e.g. mountain biking, motorcycles, rock climbing) or bad for your health (e.g. exercise injury). Games are relatively cheap, kill a lot of time, are mentally stimulating, have no health risk, and are fun. I limit portion sizes and…

All loser idiot junkies play video games, but not all who play video games are loser idiot junkies. I’ve known several junkies who were incredible at World of Warcraft and Call of Duty (two favorites of the idiot loser junkie crowd), but even after they stopped gaming they continued with drugs, not working, and…

Your best bet for cooking isn’t youtube. I find most youtube stuff to be low quality, has important info left out, and there is absolutely no quality control. Pick up cookbooks or subscribe to a cooking magazine that has a team of full time people working for it. Even something like Jamie Oliver that is a big…

“television has completely abandoned teaching” TV never had good teaching. What people are saying about youtube now, they said about TV 30 years ago. Neither is educational. Libraries are your best bet for good info. The best thinking and knowledge I’ve ever come across has been from a book. Youtube is neat and all,…

Your library system has a collection of books that has far more wisdom and insight that this guy. It’s also not easy to compress into a video what takes a book to discuss. People are just addicted to youtube.

The vast majority of chatter on the internet is worthless garbage. People get waaaay too much of their information and thinking from youtube and reddit. I hear my coworkers say the dumbest crap because they spend all day online and never pick up a magazine or book.

fair enough. thanks for making me look like a jerk.

We ignore poor and blue collar people that live in uncool cities. No one writes about an electrician living in Cleveland. Instead, they publish more crap about yuppies in Brooklyn (Emild Gould!)

I hate DIY culture. Shouldn't we leave backpack making to people who have done it a few times and make decent backpacks? You're not likely to get it right on your first try.

You can't dismantle the culture of violence without dismantling America. And you're not going to do that. Stand back and watch the carnage.

greenwashing. all industries use a ton of coal, oil, gas, and metals, and walking to work and using a coffee mug might make you feel like you're helping nature, but it's trivial on a global scale. read the club of rome 40 year update — humanity is basically on the business as usual path they modeled in 1972.

This is a "theoretical concern". Aren't GMOs mostly in foods we probably shouldn't be eating much of anyway? Should we really be eating GMO crops at all, even if not for health reasons? I'm curious why GMOs have become the #1 target about food, I mean, above the facts that: 1) many people don't have enough to eat 2)…

It's funny that the major health & food organizations of the world disagree with you, but Whole Foods is happy to pander to scientifically illiterate yuppie idiots and sell you foods at 2x-3x the cost :)

Huh? Google "whistler blackcomb"
