I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is! Hallelujah! Holy shit!

Because it's bad.
You're bad.
Of course, it's chat, there's not a single good thing in here.

We went to one in Baltimore and it was... not very exciting. But got to drink some gluhwein and then some German beer. They also had some people doing some German dances. Luckily they had a giant tent where most of the stalls were because it was raining and cold.
We live right next to the big one in town. There's ice skating, christmas trees, 30-40 stalls with goods and foods. It is the best.

wtf
kids these days mirite
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me
So in Battle Brothers I just ran into some geists for the first time
I don't think my guys are brave enough to withstand 6 shrieking ghosts. I had to leave before I fought the battle but I am not looking forward to getting tanked by these jerks.
I think I'm in the "Red Dead 2 has a great story but dreadful gameplay" camp.
Like, the gameplay is fine. Everything being so deliberate is kind of neat, but there's so many things that don't need to be so deliberate as to make the game boring. Why can't my horse autopilot down the path to the next objective?
There's even a mission where you have to do that so I know they COULD do that!
The actual gameplay of the missions is pretty much all the same "go here via long ass horse ride, shoot folks, run away shooting folks from your horse"
The story is tremendous and I have enjoyed the characters quite a bit. Actually playing the game, less so.
Real pretty too.
Oh, and sometimes it has hilarious physics issues. (Extremely minor spoiler for a side quest that exists but no details about it)
Columbia isn't the biggest city by any means, but it's absolutely ridiculous to have several trains basically parked across many primary routes at 1pm >:
That's the thing, "disruption" is an ideology about rapid change with little preparation. That's the explicit motto, right--move fast and break stuff.
I agree that institutions should be audited and constantly pushed to reform and improve, but that's a process that demands rigour, research, expertise, familiarity, cost/benefit analysis, etc. It's a lengthy, neverending process, and trying to shortcut it has nasty long-term consequences
The problem is that institutions necessarily have to exist in an environment where they're competing with these forces of rapid change regardless. I think a major issue with our existing apparatus for putting our foot on the breaks is that it just can't keep up the pace and it's failing us for this reason. The pace has changed, we need people with more knowledge of these fields regulating faster.
I think there's something to be said for the need for more drastic interventions. Sometimes institutions hit dead ends and need to be ripped up and re-planted. Revolutions can become necessary, particularly when we're stuck in these configurations where what ought to be a normalizing process is shredding us in half. Acknowledging that there is significant cost involved in this is vital, but iterating isn't always an option.
do you have an example where iterating isn't an option
i agree it's not an option for like NYC and Boston cabbies, but Uber is also very very bad
it seems like you're excited about technology and so want to accelerate things and are thus tempted to decide things are failing us when in fact it just kind of always sucks you can't improve results by going faster
I mean, our data and security regulations are completely non-existent, net neutrality is dead, no one is lifting a finger against the massive tech trusts, our entire democracy was blind-sided by the advent of internet disinformation, social media platforms are completely unregulated, massive amounts of money has been stolen in cryptocurrency scams and we are being completely and utterly raided by corrupt oligarchs. Meanwhile companies like uber are manipulating existing laws to do things to contractors that were never imagined by the people who wrote them. Our government has no idea what the fuck is coming for it when machine learning reaches the next level of development and the human rights abuses that will inevitably lead to, and the people who realize this is all going on are completely powerless to do anything about it. Our institutions are being absolutely trampled.
I'm not excited about technology, I am horrified of it, and how completely under-prepared our institutions are to defend us from it.
All of this sounds to me to be trivially fixable with iteration. How disruptive an answer needs to be is kind of unrelated to how bad things get if we just ignore the question forever
If this were trivial to fix it would’ve been done already.
I do like how RDR Online has gendered insults from bandits. I've had people call pippy murderstockings a bitch, but the most offensive thing was they were going to shoot me in the bosom. Really? REALLY IN THE TITS? YOU FUCKING MONSTERS!
what the fuck
hanging's too good for those people
Honestly that one was more funny, the Lobos mention necrophilia a little too honestly in a way that scares me.
My favorite are the Ol Driscrols who are really sincere in not only do you know its them but like one time they wanted me to spell their name out? It was rather weird for an ambush.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

I think this is way too reductionist of gameplay given how much you can say similar things about a lot of other games you probably enjoy for the gameplay, but at the same time I grok it because I felt the exact same way about GTA after a while.
Rockstar often has done a bad job at hiding the repetitive structure of a lot of their missions. They are still doing that thing where you are unable to hit a person or catch up to a person no matter what until you get to the point in the mission where they want you to, and this just makes the rigged and absurdly structured nature of such missions more obvious instead of hiding it.
Video game developers spend a ton of effort making everything rigged while making it seem pretty natural and like you are in control. Rockstar just feels kind of bad at it.

German Christmas markets are quite a thing to behold. I wish we could have em here but a bunch of hot wine in glass mugs is just totally impossible.
Consumed is pretty good. It is a lot more therapy based than look at what this hoarder hoarders and they see to do a good job integrating the whole family into the process.
Wait where can I find this
I love this kind of show

Christmas Vacation is a wonderful movie that I empathize with more every year.
I like the gameplay in RDR 2. The weapons really feel "realistic" in a way you don't normally find in a shooty game. I do laugh that your character practices safe gun practices and will not always keep a round in the chamber or the hammer down when you're riding (I tend to roll with the bolt action, and no matter what anytime I go to ready it I have to load a round, which got me killed by a grizzly once).
I also think people are way too reductionist on how missions play out. Like I've recently played AC Odyssey and despite that game giving you more "freedom" to do a mission 99% the missions all seemed to shake out the same way.

I've already learned a lot in this playthrough and I expect to get wiped pretty soon by either these ghosts or something worse. When I restart I'll buy the DLC because it adds a ton.

I think the weapons are good. The missions are fine (but I'm only in chapter 2 because I don't want to miss a thing (cause I miss you babe)). I'm gonna 100% the game.
It's just super fucking janky. I don't even have many horse-related disasters. The basic walking gets me in trouble more often than not. I haven't accidentally shot a storekeeper yet. But every time I say howdy my horse spins like a top because the person is going by. Escort quest? Sorry, that person is gonna get run over by a completely unrelated wagon.
I like how it ends up creating dynamic events, both for good and bad, but it's so damn janky.
I like the guns in Red Dead I just wish there was more variety in the mission. They dress them up in different ways but it always felt like it was boiling down to shooting dudes in different areas. And while there are several different guns, I pretty much used the Schofield Revolver and a repeater rifle the entire time and didn't have any problems. Aim, lock on, swivel up, headshot, repeat.

Veteran difficulty seems better balanced. They also decoupled economy difficulty from combat difficulty, which is wonderful

Also Artifact seems like a terrible game to stream.
Also Getting Over It is a great game.
Also, Obra Din is probs game of the year @ me

There isn't a board game that uses butt plugs you can get them?
