Persona 4’s title screen makes me feel emotional just listening to it. I played that game at a particular time in my life and that music just gets it going. Persona 3 FES’ as well, actually, 5’s isn’t nearly as like… emotional

The Dark Souls Character Creation Music is still my personal favorite.

While I don’t think plants or certain animals actually experience life similarly, aren’t our own emotions basically a product of chemicals being released in our brain as a result of certain stimuli?

Me too, 1925 here.

I mean, people could just make an announcements channel that allows public messaging, that’s not like a legal requirement of servers to make those restricted to posting, but they could totally make an announcement discussion channel, and even make a thread within the channel for each announcement post. Threads don’t actually disappear, I don’t believe, they go away from the immediate discord sidebar, but you can go to any channel and press the threads button at the top and see all previous threads intact.

And replying to someone’s old message with context is totally possible. You can quote reply and @ them so they’re notified and they can also tap your quote message to be taken back to the original message, helping them to remember context.

I don’t really see discord as best at being a social media overall, but it is a decent community platform. I think the fact that reading older content is extremely difficult is true, and sort of a symptom of Discord’s design, but that’s the only real con I can think of.

And traditional forums don’t theoretically disappear, but pretty much all of the self hosted ones I used to frequent back in the day are dead and gone, unless you count the way back machine. Actually, I’m curious, is there any software that allows you to back up at least the text contents of a discord server?

I absolutely love Death Stranding as well. It’s definitely a game where the details of the mechanics make the seemingly mundane become interesting.

And knowing that the things you make and place will help others is a great motivator.

Angels Fall First’s commander role is sort of like this, and that game is awesome

Shit, Katana Zero took 6 years to develop, and it’s “just” pixel art, but it came out fantastic. You just never know either way.

No, there’s another ending. J&J buys the government.

I didn’t, lol, that was the game that also got me to learn the hands. It’s the only reason I had those saved

When I learned poker playing Red Dead Redemption I copied the list of possible Texas hold em hands into a text file for reference. Each hand beats all of the ones below it. You pray that you get the right cards for something good, and hope your opponent doesn’t.

Once you know the best hands it’s a matter of learning to predict what your hand might become as the pot goes on. Both the community cards (the river) and your personal hand can work together to make any of these hands. If you’re talking individual card face value it starts high at ace and ends low at 1. Here it is:

Have the highest hand per round to win the pot.

Royal Flush- You would need an Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and Ten in the same suit

Straight Flush- A sequence of five cards in the same suit

Four of a Kind- Four cards of the same value

Full House- Three cards of the same value with a pair of cards.

Flush- Five cards of the same suit

Straight- A sequence of five cards

Three of a Kind- Three cards of the same value

Two Pair- Two sets of two cards of the same value

One Pair- One set of two cards of the same value

High Card- The highest card in your hand

If you and your opponent have the same overall hand, the higher value wins, so with an ace pair and a 5 pair the ace pair wins.

Well, it was probably always doomed one way or another. All you can do most of the time is try and enjoy the ride.

I read all sorts of things from people all the time and can often overthink the results or have missed something else I could’ve read that would’ve created more context, but I wasn’t there to see, or perhaps, with time, I read and then forgot.

Basically, I think you’d then need to go down another rabbit hole of figuring out how good Rob actually is at reading people before his testimony is really worth all that much, because while Bob could lie about his feelings, Rob could lie about how he’s interpreting Bob, dismantling the efficacy of his callout, and even if Rob were honest it wouldn’t really prove anything. Just that Rob doesn’t think Bob is being honest, so you’d just be arguing eternally until Bob somehow lets slip his mask, under the assumption he is actually lying, at which point you prove Bob is a liar who likes attention.

But in the majority times that you’d be wrong, or you wouldn’t get the mask to slip, you’d just prove yourself an asshole, and would progressively lose friends/popular trust and credibility until arguing anyone’s true feelings wouldn’t be a truly valid option any longer, since no one would want to believe you, even if you were right due to being more often incorrect.

Basically, if you wanted to spend your time/have some sort of hobby or job where you attempted to force people to be honest about things they might lie about for emotional, popular, or financial reward, you’d have to go about it in a non confrontational investigative way, because you’d otherwise destroy your own opinion’s worth or career long before it would get the public to change beliefs.

So you could argue claims of suffering, but there’d only be two reasons to do so, to be a dick, or to prove they were lying for their own gain, and the first isn’t worth discussing, while the second is better served through less direct means.

I believe Normalcy was pioneered as a word in a presidential speech by Warren Harding in 1920. The titular “Return to Normalcy”. Before that, it was only normality. Since then normalcy has overtaken normality to become the more common word to use.

Monster Hunter. When I was a kid with a PSP I bought Freedom Unite since the box art was cool. Had not a fucking clue what was happening or how to even understand the weapons.

Years later I bought a 3DS, 3 Ultimate, and even a circle pad pro for it. Nope, still just didn’t even crack an hour of playtime because everything was just so strange. Finally, in probably 2019 or so I decided that there was too much cool word of mouth about the series for me to not try and figure out how it worked.

I got Generations Ultimate, and decided that if I could figure out how to play Monster Hunter that I wouldnt be a complete failure in life. I just played, found that nothing made sense, but just… kept going anyway. I started researching what the different weapons were for, realized that they’re basically just different fighting game character-type movesets, and from there I slowly explored the game until id ended up burning 240 hours or so on MHGU.

I discovered Monster Hunter World after that, and it was all over for me. I never get to g rank, but I’ve put probably a combined over 1k hours into the series, which is much more than I usually would for other games. Just fucking fantastic games in almost every way, except for tutorialization.

I think chemistry and attraction are different. I’d say how attraction feels depends on how strong you feel it, but at its basic initial level you think they look good and would like to spend time alone with them to get to know them.

Chemistry I think is much deeper and has more layers. If you had chemistry in every way It implies that on a personality level you two see eye to eye on most major opinions, such as politically, hobbies, types of film genres or video games, you both like/dislike casual drinking or smoking weed, you both prefer dogs to cats, etc.

Basically chemistry, to me, is how smooth it is transitioning from living by yourself to with that person, how much of your everyday life decisions and your personality traits/humor naturally sync up.

That reminds me slightly of the game SOMA

I mean, the guy headed up probably the largest AI company that exists, with AI being the largest new tech that exists, and has incredible potential to change the world, for the better or worse.

Purely based on him being at the forefront of the most interesting and novel industry in the world, regardless of anything else about him personally, I’m sure his position in the industry drives more than enough intrigue for people to pay attention to him, at least until they see what happens next.

Good musician’s earplugs will make everything quieter so as not to damage your ears, but you can still hear and enjoy the music. Industrial type ones are more powerful and block out as much as possible

Edit: I finally understood the joke

I can see why. Everytime the dude lost in a game he imagined the other player as a squat orange dude with enormous green hair who’d begin to sing a rhyme about the win that starts with “gg ez”. I’d hate them too.
