I didn’t even get to try to enjoy it, one of the missions pretty early on had a 100% chance to crash at a certain point on my computer and after a year of checking to see if each game patch or video driver update fixed it, I just gave up.

Action Role Playing Game

I guess I should have posted a shorter reply, they probably saw two full sentences and gave up before even starting.

Yeah, I take walks outside so much more in the winter, it’s Autism-friendly season. Lol. Well, at least those of us that are hypersensory, for the hyposensory folks, I suppose I could see them liking the opposite, as they tend to do.

Although snowmobiles and gas-powered snow tools are pretty popular around here, so I gotta take my walks at night still anyway. 2 stroke engines are the bane of a quiet contemplative stroll.

Parking should follow urinal rules. Never use the stall right next to someone else unless it is the only remaining option. And especially if there is only one person at the urinals so far…

Did you get half way through and assume what the rest of the post must say and skip reading it? It seems like you answered a completely different question than the actual joke that was posted.

Actually, they continued the joke.

Hmm, that puts me at BRI of 2.1, and BMI of 35.4

Those both seem incredibly off.

But I do have extra dense bones apparently, which tends to be mostly what screws with my BMI, and my ability to float/swim. But they seem really hard to break, not that I try very hard… but none of them have broken yet. And I’ve been in situations that seem like they should have broken.

Either way, I weigh alot more than I look like I should, not quite “Wolverine getting on a motorbike”, but a bit like that.

Kinda makes me wish those “guess your weight” carnival experts were something I could see in real life, only ever seen it on TV.

I don’t know… would E.coli cause someone to miss alot of interviews and events due to “exhaustion” and potentially choose to sit on an absorbant mat when sitting on a clean white couch?

Maybe it did affect his.

Looked it up, e.coli symptoms tend to start 4 days after infection, in healthy people, as little as one day after for people with weaker immune systems. Symptoms involve diarrhea, stomach cramps and can include fever.

If he got it the first day those burgers were tainted, and most people took another 3 to 4 days after they had their burgers to start showing symptoms. It’s entirely possible that by the time enough people had it that it was definitively traced back to mcdonalds and then we finally heard about it, that could easily be what has been up with Trump lately.

Edit, actually just thought to look up the timeline of both as they should both be known. Mcdonalds said they determined the tainted burgers/onions seem to have been available from september 27th to october 11th. The day trump cut his rally short to stand on stage and listen to music for 40 minutes was october 14th. Could sort of be related, but I think the e.coli outbreak is just a bit too early to explain his recent behavior, as much as diarrhea and stomach cramps would sort of explain some of it. He could just be shitting his pants normally instead of brought on by anything specific. And he could just be normal exhausted instead of e.coli exhausted. And he kind just always looks like he has stomach cramps…

Lol, my client apparently parses markdown in titles, so the hashtag at the start of this headline just made the headline giant.

Ah ok, they already have a built-in hand-wavey mechanic to explain it. That’s handy. Extrapolation from their inability to think creatively and only mimic, it seems like that would indeed set up for physical mimicry too. But that would probably get old fast, since it would have to be at the expense of gaining stuff naturally with levels. You’d either have to be trained everything you want to know, or have the DM set up encouters that makes sense for picking it up eventually. Maybe fun for the first couple levels, but just unnecessary tedium as it goes on.

Certainly makes more sense fun-wise to retcon the scope of the curse to a more limited handicap. Something that fits the scope of a single hardship slot.

I noticed early in my 20’s that my social anxiety had gotten to a point where I couldn’t casually chat with random people. So I made an effort to do it anyway even though the results wouldn’t be favourable for a while. It took a few years before I noticed it didn’t take much of a push any more to start. I’m 40 now and while I still don’t enjoy talking to strangers, especially when just making meaningless small talk, I at least don’t have a wall of pre-dread anymore to climb in the case that I do need/want to talk to a stranger. Like if they dropped something, or if I want a product in a store that is not currently stocked on the shelf.

Awesome, I love the idea of building a working library of dialogue to make use of. Technically mimicry would mean having no actual understanding of the phrases actual meaning so it would have to be coincidental to say something useful in context… but it would be such a fun mechanic I would find some way to hand-wave it into making sense.

Might also be fun to extend the mimicry to physical mimicry too. Maybe picking up something that you have seen X number of times. Though that would add even more data tracking, hehe.

The process of making a game on your own involves failing to make the first 10 games you try to make on your own.

Ultimately, it sounds like you already have a good handle on everything that goes into it, and are just hoping to hear it’s not actually as hard as you think it is… it is hard. Know that going in, and assess if you will be able to do it. But give yourself a bit of benefit, getting most of the way tends to increase your resiliance to the final hurdles.

Back in the day, people wiresharked it all and said nothing untoward was going on back then. And a meta account in this regard is just an Oculus account. It has nothing to do with facebook.

But yeah, ultimately, I don’t care if other people don’t want to use it. I only care if I want to use it, and I do.

Also none of my androids came with facebook and still don’t have it. But I don’t buy subsidized from carriers, I just buy the phone I want and use the carrier I want separately.

Most people still play it on a monitor, but yeah, it’s great in VR. There can be a bit of a learning curve on monitor. Kind of like the difference learning to drive rally on a monitor versus learning in VR, you can just tell when everything is going right without having to train yourself to notice little signs, you just feel it intuitively. Having said that, I still recommend going through all the training, and when you are done the training, stay with the free beginner sudewinder for a while. Make sure you can afford your first ship a few times over before you upgrade, so you have a cushion if there is anything important to learn.

You don’t have to be good at elite for it to be fun. And you won’t be good at it for a while. But you will eventually be good at it, and it will be all the more fun then. The first time you slip an agile ship into dock in a smooth motion, amazing feeling.

I think it won’t be quite as existential, despite how well they make it all feel rooted in reality, it’s still pretty easy to keep in mind that it is a videogame. And with default settings and leaving “flight assist” on, the space ships handle more like planes. You can always disable flight assist, or have it on a toggle, or “disable when button held” setup too. Or, enable when held, if you want to be free flying most of the time, but still have a “stop” button when you want to cancel out your inertia, or more accurately match it with your current frame of reference.

Basically, by default, you don’t have to think about your frame of reference. The fact that it is a videogame basically takes care of that. It’s a convenient way to hide that the instance you are in is faking(incredibly accurately) everything else that is not in your current frame of reference. Despite space travel feeling pretty seamless, it’s just cuz they hide the load screens and instance transfers as just part of navigating space. Any time you are unable to touch the controls, that is a load screen. Even if it otherwise looks the same, most notably when entering or exiting a planets frame of reference and switching between the “space” graphics of the planet to the “terrain” graphics. When approaching a planets gravity well, you basically do an uncontrolled glide that transitions you from space appropriate speeds to surface appropriate speed. That speed transition is the loading screen.

Probably the only thing that might give a similar sense of existential dread for a few seconds is if you jump to a binary star system at a time when the star you aren’t jumping to just happens to be in the same direction you just jumped in from. It will look as though you flew through that star. The odds are pretty low, even full time explorers rarely see it, but it is something that can happen.

I should probably get some hours in on shutoko revival, now that Genki is making a new Tokyo extreme racer.

What do you mean? There is no facebook requirement. I don’t have facebook.

But I do agree that Meta is the sour note. Luckily, there hasn’t been any practical effect on the headset, or at least not a downside. Meta has had plenty of effect, mostly by way of investing unbelievable money into it. There is a reason no one else can keep up.

Basically if you are at all interested in the quality of experience in VR, you have to go with Meta, and maybe at some point they’ll take advantage of that, but it hasn’t been yet. And if they ever do, I have no problem cutting ties.

There was a period when new users had to have a facebook account, but it didn’t last long. As you can guess, you were not the only person who didn’t like that. I already had an oculus account before that, and I was able to keep using that the whole time. The name has been changed to a Meta account, but nothing else about it changed. It’s just a renamed Oculus account now.
