I think you clicked the wrong comment to reply to.

Yeah but everyone seems to be expecting Lemmy to just turn into the high point of Reddit. Reddit wasn’t built in a day and neither will Lemmy be built in a day.

You could always go one level up. Like instead of a crochet community and a knitting community you could have a yarn community that incorporates all types of weaving with yarn.

And then post it in New Communities and other boards like it to advertise it!

Hey, I resemble part of that remark and resent the other part!

Anyways then you and your entire family and social group die in the same event, like a volcano burying your village.

BG3 reminded us of what’s possible in game story telling. What letting the marketing team run the shop has done to the industry.

Oh for sure. I proved that when I got out, stopped working out, and didn’t adjust my portion sizes. But the me that I am now, is all my fault and not anything to do with BMI measurement.

We ran into it a bunch in the Army. As well as the fat over abs phenomenon. Very few of our BMI failures were actually fat. The Army test was really problematic because they measure your waist and neck. So you’re simultaneously trying to lose belly fat, build neck muscle, and maintain energy levels for infantry training. Which is just a bit of a nightmare to be in. Meanwhile every week you’re running 30-35 miles, putting 15 hours in the gym, and doing 10 hours of field exercise, all on top of any infantry training.

I think it’s one of those things you either run into a lot or very little.

For the first couple years it’ll only be sound based and we’ll all be doing a modern version of phreaking.

I wish. I got Starfield a month ago and everything is gated like that. Core space combat abilities from the tutorial are gated behind perks. Want to craft? You have to invest 15 levels for guns, then 10 for space suits, then 10 for ships, and on, and on. And there’s no getting better just because you do it a lot.

Starfield seems like someone thought Skyrim was too freewheeling so they locked everything down way beyond what’s necessary.

It can be too reactive as well. I love BG3, I did 3 full runs. But I never used the grease spell again after the first run. They made it flammable to the entire puddle. What that means in practical terms is every tiny candle can turn the entire puddle into a small amount of fire damage. The prevalence of flame sources also means this will nearly always happen. So instead of getting a bunch of prone enemies that are easier to hit, I have mildly annoyed enemies.

So now that question is in the back of my head whenever I see this. What kind of damage and reactivity are we talking about here?

Nah, you just described Starfield. They’re going to decide that was too easy and gate building behind even more story/skills/tasks for less reward.

Not liking it does not mean it’s outdated. There’s a lot of us that like it as the success of XCOM and BG3 show. We’re allowed to like things that you don’t.

I was thinking the Vampire could actually take this as permission. She told him to make the determination.

We’re 3 weeks out from the US presidential election. Most of us are already voting.

That’s actually a really good layman’s explanation. I’m going to use that combined with, “you’re not a capitalist just because you support them. Capitalists are the people who own the capital.”

Easy. We set the FBI on all the actual leftists decades ago. So the movement is having to slowly rebuild itself in the US. As a result Progressives are the farthest left things most Americans have experience with.

Honestly we’ve known peak oil would occur in our lives for several decades. Not that you could tell by any project to prepare for such an event.

Nope. If the question was a surprise then your communication skills as a couple aren’t there yet.
