I understood that the first time yeah. And I think you agree with me since you edited your comment to further explain your idea. I’m not contradicting your argument, I agree with it and appreciate that you addressed my criticism. I think it’s a hot enough topic to warrant being a bit less open to interpretation, especially in text form.
Kinda dismisses the real criticism people have with guns yeah. They are not advocating against them simply because “they look scary”.
Gotcha, last sentence sounded a little bit pro-gun though hence my response. I still think the ease of access is the main issue, by far. I would probably be dead if I was american as I could’ve easily got a cheap 9mm to off myself during the worse times. It was easier to reach out than to buy a glock and I seriously think it saved my life.
So I’ll reinforce my first suggestion to look into turn-based CRPG as a genre and see for yourself. That’s where you’ll find most of the mechanics you seem to want and you won’t have to take the opinions of strangers as to how much gore is too much for you.
Yes but it’s not all of the stuff, far from it
Is any form of violence or blood a no-no? If you can accept some, Larian (bg3’s developper) was already well known for the Divinity series. Many even say that BG3 is kind of Divinity:Original Sin 3 with a DnD license. You’ll still be killing some people though. Otherwise, I suggest searching for Turn-Based games which BG3 is. You might like Battletech which is a mech warrior themed game or the X-Com series where there’s an alien invasion.
And also, you might have been mislead by the videos. Yes the brain parasite is important but you’re really only directly dealing with mind flayers (the tentacle clad monsters) in the very beginning and very end. The rest is just a classic fantasy setting.
Canned water from the alps shipped worldwide is very stupid though. It’s not on topic here but fuck these companies too. This branding is also incredibly cringy in any other setting than a party where you want to fit in with beer cans while not drinking. And let’s not pretend that most people that drink this don’t have access to potable water on tap.
I have done all of this. but thanks for posting this. Somehow venting about this kind of anonymously did more help than anything you just listed.
No, not even remotely. I actually feel worst than ever. But I also feel so paralyzed and hopeless.
Then why do the most of us let something like this happen. And while some countries have better healthcare there is still an enormous amount of suffering everywhere be it starvation, war, homelessness you name it. We have the means to be better but we don't do it.
Incomprehensibly depressing. Everything about this should make us ashamed of ourselves as a species. Or we should just stop pretending that we value each other more than cash. Or at all actually.
How could joysticks replace keyboards apart from forcing you to use a virtual keyboard with a joystick? Is everything else about computing the same or is it some form of fantasy joystick centered computer? Anyway what's more important is that joysticks already exist in computing and we know they serve a specific purpose and really suck for the rest cause we tried. We designed the computer after all so we control how we interact with them. Not like we found them in the wilds and they somehow only had a joystick.
Thanks chat gpt. But I’ll give you my advice as a 10 year mechanic.
Don’t. You’ll look like a tool and you’ll ruin a perfectly good truck. It’s certainly not a “good investment”.
With a cheeful Elavil dose in each bowl. This is an antidepressant and pain killer. What kind of fucking food company puts that in morning cereal.
Your car. Just think about the forces and mechanisms invovled for this to happen. Every single day we travel at 100km/h in our 2ton at least metal box surrounded by hundreds of other people in their equally large and heavy and fast machines in a space barely wide enough to react in case of an emergency(not even considering if most are actually ready to act in such a case. All of this with realistically little training. Not to mention most people don’t really pay attention while driving and certainly don’t consider the life of others while doing so. It’s so impersonal and dangerous. If it was a never heard of concept, individual cars driven by any normal person would be considered laughably stupid at the very best.
Strong world building. No matter how farfetched the technology/society/species, if there is enough backstory or precedent anything is believeable. For example, Isaac Asimov’s robots aren’t realistic at all but he starts by laying down a set of rules (three laws of robotics)and wrote entire books worth of stories detailing their development. This not only allows readers to suspend their disbelief and accept that sentient robots exist but gives context and relatability to all of your characters/events/locations. The Expanse acheived the same by simply rooting it’s fiction deeply in reality which makes it inherently relatable. The rest is normal storytelling.
I was in the process of reading the book when I heard about the series. All I have to say is that , once again with tv adaptations, the writers are doing fan fiction. So while the premise amd character names are the same, too many characters have wildly different motivations and arcs. I don’t want to go to into spoilers so I’ll leave it at that. The books are way more interesting. The show dives too much into overused tropes like “forbidden love” and “protect the family”. Same thing happened to the Witcher series. A bunch of writers couldn’t hold back their ego on reinventing the material that already existed that was actually great and what the audience loved.
So yeah read it if you liked the series, it’s all better
It was. Most of it’s criticism comes from the fact that it’s not really an assassin’s creed game anymore. It was mostly far cry: ancient greece
