Top 100 maybe? It's fun but shallow, I've no idea how people crank up 100+ hours on it


How is it shallow? The skill difference between people with 1000 and 10000 hours is colossal.

Or are you one of those people that doesn't actually know what depth is and confuses it with breadth?

Depth isn't just a measure of skill, it's also a measure of strategy. I'm not saying there's no skill involved or that the game sucks or anything, I'm saying it's more reflexive and not strategic enough for my interests. It's literally a soccer game with a more advanced moveset, you hit a ball in different ways and coordinate with teammates. There isn't enough variety that I'd be interested in playing it for that quantity of hours. I don't play Call of Duty or League of Legends online either, but even those are deeper games, since there's a greater variety of playstyles possible even if they don't require the same level of reflexive skill.


That's breadth. As expected.

They only have 3 attacks, and they leave themselves wide open after each attack. If one is off screen, assume it's going to do a rolling charge to close the gap. When one dies, use that opportunity to heal. If they're clustered up, stay back and blast them with a Vengeful Spirit or two. They can be a little rough, but after taking on NKG all the other bosses seem pretty easy in comparison.

To quote this page selling a "paperweight":

Our popular Heavy Brass Paperweight will make sure that mound of paperwork on your desk doesn't get out of control! It's constructed of a 1/2 lb of solid brass and has a compact size for ease of carry. The Brass Paperweight is heavy enough to tackle the most stubborn paper.

What's with the recent trend of trying to label every single dictator and despot in history as a product of leftist politics?

About as recent as the trend to label them all Conservative.

I frequently see people like Mussolini or Hitler called fascist or right-wing, but I don't think I've ever seen them labelled as "conservative".

And if you're equating all conservatism with fascism, that's just wrong.


No one is equating conservatism with fascism. The American right wing is more fascist than conservative. Conservatives would try to minimize defense spending rather than blatantly siphoning taxpayer money to military contractors.

The only issue I have with it is the character-locked collectibles. It's fine to have collectibles that require specific character abilities to reach, but if you can figure out a way to get to one with a character other than the intended one, you should still be able to collect it, and ones that don't require a specific character should be collectible by anyone.

my immediate reaction is there is nothing wrong with that if the game allows you to do it


Typically save scumming involves manually (or automatically with an external script) backing up files in a game that has measures to prevent reloading saves. If that isn't the case, it isn't really save scumming.

Just have an option for "nonbinary/prefer not to specify". Listing "Transgender (MTF)" and "Female" as two separate options is marginalizing.

Everyone is always trying to convince you it's some dramatic change in your metabolic rate but no one seems to consider the dramatic change in lifestyle and occupation.


In fact there's not a dramatic change in metabolic rate at all. From 20 to 60, your basal metabolic rate drops a total of about 10%, on average about 200 calories/day. And if you gain weight, your metabolic rate goes back up anyway so it cancels out.
