I didn't play Loop Hero but I enjoyed reading Para's post
I did think of Hades though, as while I enjoyed it, I don't think it pass the "50 hours test" either, imo. I enjoyed it a lot for the first 40 or so hours but it became super repetitive and I still had stuff to do but I didn't have fun anymore
It was just not on the same level of Binding of Isaac in which it not only pass the 50 hours test, but the 200 hours test as well because literally every run is so different from the previous and it's not even close

Not really. It's a smaller map (I'm told, I didn't play the two back-to-back), and it's more talky than the first game. I couldn't finish either game because I couldn't figure out which crevasse I needed to dive into to continue progression.

Have you played Outer Wilds? I feel like those two games are in the camp of, "if you've played one and enjoyed it, you'll probably enjoy the other." I wholeheartedly recommend both games.

Inflation basically just gave him an out to be a hard no without further reason.

IDK if I'd use "gross and horrible" but I think I'm closer to her side of this argument.

The one who did not think that Mike Pence should have the power to steal a presidential election

That's why PrimeTime took the job. Time to bet on Jackson State winning the National Championship.

I mean what did you expect ME3 to be about

"hey good job guys we stalled the Reapers long enough that they won't arrive in any of your lifetimes so what now"

(also Cerberus never stopped being bad)

go back and try again

I love the failed karaoke check.

I mean, I'm going to be wearing a mask in public for the foreseeable future, whether the building I'm in requires me to or not. I personally don't consider that to be torture.

But I've received all 3 shots so I'm not going to avoid going anywhere at this point either. Certainly if I'm not feeling well I'll stay home, but if I'm feeling okay I'll go anywhere that's open at this point.

Look at the horrible caliber of person youve attracted, plum. This is why I have to defend neopronouns because some jerk will go full dickhead.

and of course you are the arbiter of what should be taken seriously and what should not be

does it take you that much more effort to do so

But you know what happened, they did it anyway and now it's really easy to find gluten free stuff clearly labeled. Explain to me how this hurts people with celiac disease?

This is some gymnastics.

If you're coming from a place of "I'm going to to assume the worst of them and treat them differently, anyway, but I'm also going to speak to them like an authority" like Lopen is, then yes, that opinion is very irrelevant.

I'm not even necessarily saying Lopen is a bigot, I was merely questioning his very own argument. I just think a bit of introspection would be useful for why he feels the need to automatically assume the worst of those people and treat them differently, and likewise, why he thinks he's an authority in a place to lecture them on how it impacts another group of people.

It'd be different if trans people were expressing concerns, or if people who hadn't already expressed negative views were expressing concerns, but it coming from Lopen, who admits he looks down on these people willingly to begin with, makes it very hollow.
