My opinion, but I like Palworld more than any of the 3D Pokémon games since X/Y. It’s not really the same style of game when you really get into it, but the things that make Palworld different make it outright better to me. I don’t plan to buy Pokémon games at all anymore, and Palworld is a significant reason why not. It’s a little dismissive to suggest they aren’t a threat.
Dunno if you were aware, but there’s an easy tech you’re able to use to get actually good travel speed. Slide down a hill, any slight decline really, and jump into a glide. Slide momentum is maintained into the glide, and any glider will give high speeds. It’s the best way to explore by far.
If you understand the design philosophy of From’s games, you know why you’re wrong here. Have you ever even played their games? They all require you to be capable of knowing how to overcome obstacles and rise above a challenge. It’s on you, no one else. They’ve literally always been this way. Their games are wildly successful with or without your complaints for a damn good reason.
Dark Souls was beaten with voice input alone. I saw someone working on doing that with Elden Ring just the other day. This isn’t a disability issue. People just don’t like difficult games, and that is very much a skill issue.
You got a mouth, don’t you?
Sounds like you’re painting the world with broad strokes based on narrow circumstances. Not everyone is the 40yo you want to kick out, even if their situation seems similar. The OP is more than likely nowhere near 40 and obviously looking for ways to change their state in life. No reason to beat a stranger up because they resemble someone you know.
Edit: I just read more of the thread…the OP actually kinda sucks.
What’s your favorite?
I fundamentally disagree with the idea that suicide of consciousness is the correct answer to resolving the problem of suffering. Suffering is but one element of our collective existence, and while I agree that it’s unpleasant (duh), extermination is far too extreme an answer to consider it just. The scope is simply too narrow and pessimistic, and if one were to act on this philosophy, I would consider them evil. Don’t kill your mates for being depressed or for hurting. Help them, however you can.
Our brains are incredibly complex organic matter. The only reason we know they think is because we experience the thinking. But we’re still just mechanically complex clumps of nonthinking objects that create a thinking one.
I like to think all advents in science are simulation modifications. We managed to make rocks think and talk to us. That sounds like magic in a vacuum.
Go a little further, and you run into ego death. You feel like your sense of self is no longer consistent with your experience and start from scratch for a little while.
This is the idea I run with. As a people, we have a natural attraction to simulated worlds. Stories, books, shows, movies, games, dreams, imagination. That’s our shit right there, and it makes sense that we’d hold onto that passion were we to go up a level.
Hallucinogenics are wild, man. It feels like peaking behind the veil, and it can make you lose your grip on what you understand reality to be. I had a bad trip where I found myself face-to-face with what I’ve nicknamed as “the spectator”. Dunno if it was supposed to be my higher self, God, or some other entity. But it made me well aware it was always there, always watching, and existed outside of our perceived reality. I told my mates that, at the time, it felt like I found something real, and that our reality was the fabrication. I still don’t know what to make of it now.
Perfection is stagnation. It’s the entropic nature of reality that provides the vehicle for change and will to manifest, allowing subjective experiences to exist. If anything, I’d see this as evidence of a simulated reality, as it’s suspiciously convenient that this is all here for us to experience the way we do. You wanting it all to end sounds like more of an internal battle than external to me, and yours is a scary worldview.
I was diagnosed “gifted” in grade school, and those were the absolute worst years of my life. I’m still recovering from how much psychological and emotional damage I took on from that time. Emotional intelligence is real, and it should not be slept on.
When they did it to “woke”, I was pretty peeved. I immediately started aggressively reclaiming it.
That’s pretty wholesome. I can totally see how toxic people twisted the meaning into a toxic place though.
I can taste your irony.
I don’t know how to change it in Sync :(
30 btw
