  • This Theory is kinda discriminatory.

    In this modern age there’s gamer dad, gamer mom, gamer sis (not on only fans), gamer grandma & grandpa, gamer cat, gamer dog and gamer fish among many others.

    Defaulting straight to the older brother severely limits you to an out-of-bounds exploit Speedrun. I mean, sure you’ll get a high score, but life’s more than just a placement on the wall of fame and the eternal nickname of “FartFace”.


  • Having not played it, I’ll stick to using a review I read in the past few days.

    To sum it up, the game felt too positive to the reviewer. To them it felt more like a Disney adventure than a grim fantasy world that’s invaded by malevolent, torture-happy evil gods. They felt no bite from their choices, from the story or from their companions. Everything felt like it needed to be happy in some way, like the idea of conflict was a far more terrible outcome than being skullfucked by an angry tentacle god lady.

    To sum it up even further, the game felt too safe. And so became a bland meal that’s easily forgettable.



  • Seeing as how this topic isn’t part of Rule 3 for which the answer is to go seek professional help, nor is there a rule specific to stupid answers, I’m gonna go ahead with this one.

    Not really. If you need drugs to make yourself a better person, once you’ve made your life as that better person and the drugs run out, will that life still be compatible with the drugless you? Will you still be able to handle it? To like it? For it to like you? How desperate will you be to find an alternative?

    And every drug has a downside, a cost both physical and mental. Have you informed yourself what that cost is? And I’m not talking about the success stories, if it’s not obvious, I’m talking about the ones that took any of these drugs and it failed them. Can you handle those kind of results? If you can’t take into account the cost of failure and whether it outweighs the cost of success, then that drug isn’t for you.

    Also, I’d ignore the “go for it” type of comments. Their bias is the equivalent of a “bootstraps” type of success story and not that much reliable. A more reliable success story is that of fighter planes:

    Initially, engineers looked at bullet holes in the fuselage to figure out which areas to strengthen and have fewer planes downed. When that didn’t work, some smartass said that if a hit downed a plane, then it won’t make it back to base. So the engineers strengthened the areas without bullet holes instead.

    Well guess what, the downed planes won’t make it to Lemmy and tell their stories to you. Imagine that.
