Man, it's something to watch someone dismiss a quick and easy solution to a puzzle, just because they assumed something instead of testing it. Understandable considering the interaction, but still.

Ah... no, his style totally can be replicated. Like, it does appear he's pretty abnormal psychologically, but most of his actions are basically just bog standard con/abuse behavior. It can be trained for more or less anyone with a sufficiently bankrupt sense of ethics.

His success is something that would be more difficult to replicate, but as folks have noted more than once that doesn't really have that much to do with trump. He just happened to be the right sort of con at the right sort of time.

Yeaaah, you can probably expect that for a bit. Sold out thing, anyway. Apparently sales have been going quite well, and I think it's been noticed N is doing their normal thing regarding release scarcity.

They've already mentioned some of the DLC content, heh. And yeah, a challenge/hard mode is apparently slated for the first or second one, iirc.

Oh, all the time would rapidly become incredibly annoying, yes. Make for a very different sort of very pretty in a lot of areas, though.

Guess the ideal would be some way to toggle it. New helmet, magic sunglasses.

Definitely go for the stamina though, heh. Max heart foods linger and seem much easier to find ingredients for.

E: Oh gods, now I want to see a mod that changes the entire world to the same lighting as that one shrouded area. On one hand, it would be freakishly annoying and deadly in some areas. On the other hand the accentuation of the rest of the world's lighting effects would be a thing of utter splendor.

Heh, that's more a hearty thing in general. Iirc durians aren't even the best, or at least there's higher heart versions. Pretty sure you'd get a 20 heart one with just four of the... big radishes? Maybe. There's one sort that's +5 per. Might even be better out there, but I haven't seen it yet.

Speaking of that, though,

Seriously though, iirc one of the major devs claimed the cooking system is one of the most impressive parts of the game. Seen a fair number of folks scoff at that, but I'm steadily getting more convinced the critter wasn't exaggerating.

... yeah, I won't lie, since release I've watched somewhere over fifty or so hours of gameplay footage. Over two days of my life have been at least partially occupied by this friggin' game. It's gotten worse since I noticed how much weird shit seems to be happening involving cooking. If I didn't have a tablet to use while watching on the laptop, I'm not sure what would have happened.

Haven't even personally played the thing, but I'd say without hesitation this thing is not only at least tied for the best zelda game, it's easily one of the best bloody games I've seen period. Folks who put this thing together did one hell of a job.

also if someone happens to be around one of the bodies of water with giant underwater flora, try cooking something in the water please
tell me if anything unusual happens

Nah, the point is they're identifying him as a clinical narcissist, with a good chunk of the whys and what it entails. What that means is rather different than the casual sort of narcissist that gets terms like POS tacked on the end. You can't really become that sort of monster by fighting it unless you already were one... or your opposition has you catch some brain damage, I guess.

... it's maybe passing, but I will say y'all might want to pay a bit more attention to everything max (and misk, in a more tempered fashion) is saying, instead of focusing on bits of the tail end of it. There's basically one thing they're dehumanizing, and they state the reasons for it pretty clearly. Blanket condemnation of dehumanization et al isn't addressing the point being presented, at all.

Okay, not specifying location cause spoilers, but can we talk for a second about how creepy stalking a prepubescent tree spirit through a forest is? Because it's just a bit creepy. Yer gettin' weird, link.

E:*¡&£. You can apparently heat cook stuff just by dumping in on the ground in hot enough places. I don't think that would make a difference between cooking it with an open flame, but... eesh. It might. I could totally see a joke/easter egg interaction where eggs did something odd when cooked straight up on the ground.

E2: gods, what if there's stuff you specifically cook in lava? Though I'd suspect if there is, the gorons would hint at it somewhere or another. But if there is... what about other stuff? Frozen water outside of freezing areas? Can you freeze fairy fountain water? Would that have a different effect? So many questions, argh.

Tbh, I've never seen someone care about more than the two/three largest ones usually marketed as expansions, so far as civ goes. You don't need many of their things to have most of what you need, at least with most of the franchise. What I understand of some of the paradox titles, that's not quite as accurate a description of the state of its downloadable content. That said, I also haven't actually played many paradox titles. For whatever reason what games I have among their flagship titles run like complete ass on my computer, even when folks with more or less the same systems report them running fine.

... though to be fair, I've also never really heard anyone care about civ 5 to the extent people care about several of the paradox titles. Some of the earlier ones (3 & 4 in particular), but not so much 5.

Sure you're not referring to this?

Though I guess it's probably not actually NRA branded? Can't really bring myself to care about nuance when dealing with friggin' gun club wine. who in the name of holy fornication thought it was a good idea to combine alcohol and firearms, anyway particularly when the bloody NRA is supposed to be advocates for responsible gun use, what the hell it's like a freaking respiratory specialist cigar appreciation society or some shit why does this exist
