Counterpoint: excessive arch support weakens your foot by removing some of the work that the muscles in your foot should be doing with each step, and actually contributes to fallen arches/flat feet.

The watermelon flavor is what I imagine actual shame tastes like. “Major Melon” watches you from the label with his toothy sneer, thinking “you know you deserve this. Drink up, you awful garbage person.”

Somebody get Kevin Perjurer on the phone! You’ve got a prime Defunctland episode idea here.

I assume so. I don’t think that was the reason I did it, though. I can’t say why I did it other than it must have seemed like fun & I didn’t understand the consequences at the time.

When I was growing up, there was a mailbox at the end of our block. One winter, when I was around 3-4 yrs old, we had a big snowstorm. I decided, for whatever reason, to fill that mailbox as full as possible with snow.

Good catch, it’s been a while since I’ve played it. In my eyes that still puts his motivations as shame, guilt, and self-interest, which makes him an infuriating but believable villain, and a far cry from the usual mustache-twirlers.

He’s a very believable villain as well. He’s motivated by self-interest at first, and only addresses the problem he’s created when it grows too large to ignore, and he is guilted into helping address it by Dr. Sobeck. That seed of guilt grows and grows, and finally after first-hand experiencing the end of the world…

Agreed. The stakes seemed so outrageously unbalanced after that point, but I think that’s part of the appeal of the story. I empathized with Aloy’s situation and keenly felt the paralysis that dealing with such huge revelations would deliver. It helped enhance the sense of Aloy as a hero, because a weaker or…

Didn’t we already have a kinda-sorta Bioshock movie, in A Cure for Wellness?

You could always just get some hookers instead.

I got this one too. My best guess is sentient piece of candy with legs.

Aw yeah this is the juicy stuff. I don’t care about what it does or doesn’t imply about DLC or abandoned design plans - just really cool to see hidden & fully modeled areas like this.

Touché.

They’re playing a little fast & loose with the word “hero”, if they’re including the force of nature/cautionary tale about man’s hubris Godzilla, and Evangelion Unit 01, which is best classified as “it’s complicated”.

oh god and his little feet just dangle off the back of the car. I am not okay with this.

Do you really get better results with those vs. Razz berries? My usual strategy to a no-battle alpha catch is hide in grass, toss Razz berries to get it occupied and facing away, then Gigaton ball in the back while it’s munching.

I compulsively auto-organize my satchel and item box just about every time I interact with them, just for the satisfaction of having everything neatly arranged. Do I need all the berries and lure components that I’m never going to even try out to be properly organized? Not really, but I love the tidy look and it makes…

Now all this croc has to look forward to is his eventual retirement.

I didn’t know about the Cherrim glitch! I wasted so many ultra balls on one last night that I had False Swiped to 1 hp and made drowsy...I thought I was losing my mind!
