I recognize your truth.

I just can’t comprehend it. Even Mario Party has strategies to manipulate the RNG in your favor.

Bonus stars come from a set of categories, and it picks so many at random to award. But you can play to win as many categories as possible to maximize your chance at bonus stars.

The dice rolls are solvable, to minimize your chance of getting bad spaces. Sure you can’t always avoid a bad space, but if space x ahead of you is bad, and you have dice that can’t roll that number, pick those dice. Or if all your dice can roll that number, pick the one least likely to do so.

I’ve consistently been a 800-1100 level player since I first learned to play the game in 4th grade. Noone in my family cared about being good at chess, and as an adult I had other games I rather get good at.

And as a result I mostly play 800 elo and below family members and I’m happy to lose to any friends who are better. The amount of study and months of practice to catch up is unappealing, I just call them a giant fucking nerd and we go play melee.

But a 500 v 500 elo chessgame is mind boggling to me, they appear to have a tenious grip on the rules, and a fractured understanding of cause and effect.

Yes pretty much, except they ignored shoes.

We had a player who was obsessed with caltrops, and we gave him a magical object that let him turn any object that fit in his hand into a caltrop for 24 hrs. He could make like 50 caltrops a day. There were no real shenanigans to be had except he always turned money he was given into caltrops.

They still are, they might have started to pull up, by they’re still squarely on a collision course with the ground. When this AI bubble pops, thier Boeing provided auto-pilot will crater them into the ground.

Sorry, this metaphor got away from me.

Tone Policing peoples anger, in a community specifically made for them to express their rage seems like a lame thing to do.

Depending on what you mean by non-steam games. Maybe.

2, 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are my usuals.

Does Vivaldi not have an iOS version? It’s made by the original Opera founder that didn’t go all crypto bro and paycheck advance scammer.

Hinge was okay 2.5 years ago when I met my gf on it. It’s since been purchased by match.com and is likely ruined now.

It seems pretty bad all around. Even the privileged are looking at over a third of their jobs vanishing due to automation.

If we’re going to force people to work to live, maybe removing jobs due to automation isn’t the best thing for society.

Majority of microplastics in the environment are specifically tire dust. And the particles are so fine they get into our blood through our lungs.
