It’s so crunchy I thought it was Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

Huh almost sounds like a Jeep. Maybe I’d like to drive an Aztek.

I feel like to count it for a flop you have to account for total produced units as well as the sales. For example if a company produces 100,000 units and sells 99,000 of them those are solid numbers, but if a company produces 400,000 units and only sold 200,000 of those units that honestly a pretty shit sell rate even if they technically sold more.

Are we talking about the lose metal ones you see at like national parks that sound like youre pissing into a metal drum? If so I agree.

Honestly adaptive difficulty has basically the inverse issue of fucking with shit when I don’t want it. But there is a subtype of it that I do like, that being thingd like the narrative AI in the Dead Space remake which can do really neat shit to fuck with the player and keep them on their toes. Though for me it just made everything foggy especially that one level where it’s just a bunch of cat walks which I’m pretty sure is already a low light area, seriously I couldn’t see shit and kept getting lost in what amounted to a five foot area.

But yeah doing that for a skilled based game like Mortal Kombat seems… cheap. Like maybe I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure there is a difficulty setting in MK which if that is the case that means the game decides to stop the player of their agency and accomplishment rather than let them learn the boss. Not to say you can’t do adaptive difficulty but as a general rule there’s a good reason it’s so rare, sometimes it’s just fine but I rarely see it.

The game taking into account the players actions and effecting the game though to counter that is fun IMO. Like how high casualty runs in Dishonored make the game noticable harder since difficulty only really effects health, enemy, numbers, and detection rate also it serves the narrative of the story well. Also Adam Smasher tayloring his gear to counter the player which can be subverted to catch him off guard rewarding the player for knowing the world. Or the aformentioned Dead Space narrative AI which apparently decided I’m gonna play Dead Space after the crew of the USG Ishimura had a ship wide Silent Hill themed party.

Nor am I claiming they are. I’m saying it’d make it more interesting.

Personally I oppose difficulty sliders because I think they are overly broad and stupid, looking at you Bethesda and your lowsy ass health bar padding. Give me more zomboid and owlcat style difficulty setting where I can customize them in all minutiae.

But no seriously fuck difficulty sliders cause 9/10 they do overly broad gameplay things that some of which I may not want. This is coming from a guy who beat Boltgun on its hardest difficulty with the clown vomit filter so it’s not like I can’t enjoy ulta hard difficulty but what some consider ultra hard I may consider annoying as fuck see yet again Bethesda health bar padding. I do like NV 4s hardcore/survival mode though.

I was kinda figuring that it’s after the episode where they get over whatever gripes they have with Costco. Dale most certainly not have a membership card but Hank takes him anyways. Also I don’t think Hank would think it’s communism since Costco is actually a pretty damned good example of Capitalism done right with it undermining competition via lower prices using clever tricks rather than market dominance, he would probably have a different gripes like how far away it is versus how much they save or thinking they’re fucking over customers in some unseen way like selling old food or something.

I imagine it’d probably be something along the lines of Peggy dragging Hank to Costco and Dale tagging along for one reason or another. I could also see it becoming a mild gag in later episodes where Dale and Hank come back from Costco with mostly normal things but Dale buying the occasional weird shit in bulk.

I’ve seen Mr Meaty I know that tape worms are people too.

I have written out this comment and I am now just processing what the fuck my brain has summoned from the depths of my psychological hell.

English mostly dropped diacritics since it made things weirdly complicated inter-regionally in England since some regions used them and others didn’t. Frankly if you’re going to try to reform English through non organic it’d probably be better to just toss the latin alphabet outright and make something new. Personally I’d go with using a derivative of Anglo-Frisian runes personally mostly cause it’d be funny.

I feel like it’d be a lot more interesting if they used more random non standard characts like ß, æ, œ for example.

Why are Hank and Dale coming back from a Costco trip? Like don’t get me wrong I could totally see both of them going to Costco and Dale getting into some hijinx with their rotisserie chicken or something, but like why?

I walked right into that one didn’t I.

Unless I’m stupid and can’t read it does appear I am infact on the list. Honestly I’m not even surprised given my bloodthirsty, but c’mon I have some good fucken shit post comments sometimes let folks decide if my particular breed of bloodlusted madness is acceptable or not ya fucken weak ass pussies.

This is a mild tangent but I learned how to convert celsius to fahrenheit because of a Codename: Kids Next Store episode that I watched once wherein a character says “30c, 30 celsius that’s like 80 degrees fahrenheit”. Which is honestly not the weirdest thing to learn from but it is my number one.

I’m fighting for my right for survival everyday, because I’m five fucking five and some of you tall fuckers like to put what I’m looking for above my eyesight. Seriously I’m glad my proportions are mildly fucked since I ended up with weirdly lanky arms so I can at least reach shit. Seriously who puts the top ramen on the aisle top shelf, that’s where the fucken weird ass Korean burn your asshole like your getting fucked by Ghost Rider shit is supposed to go.

I have both a 125 and a 90. The 90 is what I was learning on or in my case relearning since it’s not too dissimilar to my old electric bicycle I used until I started driving. The 90 will probably be relegated to proper offroading along electric company and water company roads.

The Honda Trail isn’t exactly the sexiest thing about. Still have gotten a compliment from an old dude which is always awesome, ya know it’s good when the old bastards like it.

Was legit unaware of that, though I’ve only done a surface level look at him due to my greater interest in pre-marxist American socialism and anarchism which in a lot of cases is folk in nature and thusly rarely interacts with more refined models. Thanks for the info and frankly I’m not too surprised, kinda like what happened with the forerunners of the enlightenment often times being of the very aristocracy it would criticize.
