Do not hand Donald Trump any non-progression items, as it will ruin his low% run of the United States Presidency

I thought this was completely real actually, totally ate the onion for a second there.

I normally don’t vibe with fantasy games (and a good chunk of fantasy in general) because the need for enemies to fight usually means you have the whole evil fantasy races trope - ex. elves are your allies, goblins are your enemies, w.e. OSRS is one of the few games that I feel gets around it, in a very funny way - the game treats attacking random “Man” NPCs as a fundamentally equal act to attacking random “Goblin” NPCs, generally taking the perspective that the player adventurer is in-universe an amoral power-hungry cretin with no social sense, and unlike all the isekai slop isn’t trying to flatter them for it.

My prediction: White guy in his thirties mad about being in debt. I’ll say student loan, but it could just as easily but credit card, small business loans, healthcare debt, car loan, payday loan…

There’s another game I can think of that didn’t have a jump button… Hm… It’s on the tip of my tongue…

Absolutely ghoulish.

It’s outside DC? Don’t worry, we can fix that.

Not related, but the thumbnail for this article lowkey looks like an RTS. C&C Generals 2 when…

Beard’s levels are fucking awful. The game would’ve been just okay without them, but with them it’s baaaaad

Also the plot really needed to calm its tits and reduce the number of characters.

Let’s see… Not a mechanic, since I don’t see any sockets, not a plumber either, this doesn’t look like HVAC gear to me… I’m gonna go out on a limb and say this is an indoors job, but still something a bit trade-adjacent, like maybe… I dunno, Xerox repair guy or something?

Agreed. Unless someone is literally trying to kill you and you need the maximal amount of lead to put between you and them, full auto is kind of just a dumb thing you’d do once or twice for a bit of redneck fun.

Ok that was on me lol

EXACTLY
It’s the fallacy that “big” events need to have big causes. Like Princess Diana can’t just die in a car crash, it has to be some kind of deep conspiracy.

This kinda stuff doesn’t pass the smell test for me. You’re telling me that in a heavily armed country of 320 million people, one with a long and storied history of random acts of violence, nobody organically had the idea to shoot a politician? If it is true, damn, that’d be depressing.

“Purity”
Purity of what motherfucker?

Also, while I despise “How to make friends and influence people” conversational tactics self help drivel, there are ways to converse that make people like you more. I won’t go into depth, but basically, if you can find the one thing that someone won’t shut up about, something that gets them really animated, just listen to them talk, ask them insightful questions, be an active listener, and actively converse. Don’t be a yes-man, offer your own input, but do engage them.
