What difficult games/game challenges did you give up on?
  • I remember it being probably the most difficult shooter I had ever played up until that point. The campaign was genuinely so hard. I (barely) managed to beat it and the boss fight at the end took me real life months.

  • I'm going to get around to reading those any time now.
  • I mean this genuinely; how do you even navigate that many tabs? Like, if you are honest with yourself can you truthfully say that you can easily find what you are looking for between 50 windows with an average of more than 100 tabs each? I max out at like 30 tabs between a few windows and I find myself lost when navigating them

  • How are you all playing these insanely complex games?
  • Unless you do obviously dumb things, like not doing anything at all and letting the enemies hit you, you literally could not fail at baldurs gate on default difficulty. I actually find it way too easy to succeed and far too forgiving. You could genuinely go through the whole game with your "picked random everything" character. Youll get your ass kicked a few times, but youll never get stuck anywhere. The only part thats complex is the story IMO. There are dozens of alternative endings and secret story bits and hidden interactions between characters. Almost every quest, no matter how small, has multiple endings. You could probably sink 1000 hours into BG3 without going through most of the story content.

  • Is it just me or there is a very obvious input lag when emulating Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition on Xenia?
  • Havent played minecraft via xenia so cant comment there, but I did play minecraft on xbox360 and I recall it having input lag, about half a second to a second.

    Bit of a tangent, but I also played on ps4 and the switch and it has input lag on those too. I think minecraft was just not ported well to consoles if I am being honest.

  • States sue Meta claiming its social platforms are addictive and harm children's mental health
  • Not to be an ass, but youre 20 so you arent one of "The Kids" anymore lmao. Youre an adult now. I think your point definitely still stands though. Im only slightly older than you and when I was in highschool virtually everyone had IG, Snapchat and Twitter. I dont talk to anyone in the highschool age bracket but I think they probably still use IG/Snap/Twitter (or X if you prefer).

  • What is something (feature, modes, settings...) you would like to see become a standard in video games?
  • This is a thing thats (slowly) becoming mainstream I think. Rainbow 6 siege has it (or it did when I last played at least) and Battlebit Remastered has it. In Battlebit you can actually lean left / right all the time, no matter if youre against a corner or not. You can even do it in open fields

  • What is something (feature, modes, settings...) you would like to see become a standard in video games?
  • This starts to devolve as an idea kinda fast because someone out there has a phobia for every single thing. I do agree though on spiders specifically. I do not have arachnophobia but its so common and giant spiders are kinda overplayed in fantasy anyways, that I dont think theyd be missed.

  • In my neck of the (american) woods, it usually is "free delivery! No fees if your meal is $15 or more!" according to their ads, but then they artifically raise the menu prices in the app. A meal might cost you $12 with tax at a burger place near me, but on ubereats / doordash that same meal is $19 because they raised the menu price. That way when you go to pay, it says there was "no extra fee".

  • why do americans seem to always have thick necks in photographs?
  • Im not particularly conscious and I do sometimes smile with some teeth showing, like if I was laughing super hard and my teeth just happened to be showing I wouldnt try to hide it. But if I am, say, taking a group photo, I dont smile with all my teeth out. Its just weird to me.

  • why do americans seem to always have thick necks in photographs?
  • I am an american and I have lived here my whole life, and I never got this. Almost every person I know IRL except me smiles with all their teeth out like a fucking demented shark or something, and if I dont show my teeth like Im about to bite someone then other people chide in like "come on you arent even smiling!". For some reason americans just bare all their teeth like dogs when we smile and its disgusting and weird

  • Taylor Swift asked fans to register to vote and did they ever
  • Depending on your state they can also purge the voter rolls and just unregister whomever they want at their whim. Ive had family members and friends get purged and, somehow, the notice that they were purged just magically never showed up in the mail, so they would go to vote and be sent away at the polls. As a result I have to manually recheck my registration before every single election. Each state is totally and completely different in this regard, you cant take any assumption from your home state and extrapolate it to others.

  • Danny Masterson Is Sentenced to 30 Years to Life in Prison for Two Rapes
  • Tbh I dont know why anyone would think there are no depths scientologists would go to. Its a sham religion entirely made to drain resources from its members into the pockets of the hierarchy of the "church". Its basically a criminal enterprise and should be treated as one

  • 'It can ruin my career': Teacher told teen to keep sexual relationship a secret, court hears
  • I agree careers get ruined more often over silly things now, but its not anywhere close to a modern issue. People have been getting some form of "cancelled" for pretty much all of time, sometimes for a good reason and sometimes for a bad reason. If you really live your life in constant terror over the idea, maybe you should become self-sufficient and move off the grid. Thats kinda the only solution to the problem. People are social animals and social animals sometimes make stupid social decisions such as "cancelling" one another and its just kinda unavoidable.

  • If you were to run for higher office in your country, what controversial thing would the vetting process uncover about you?
  • You know, Im obviously one person so my input matters very little, but Id much rather vote for a candidate with your ideals than any of the present options. Hopefully one day there will be a candidate with these ideals and the recognition needed to win the election

  • What about you, Barbarian? What do you get?
  • Forget everything you remember from 20 years ago; D&D basically reworked everything from back then lol. Now everybody from druids to clerics can cast weak spells (cantrips) endlessly, and the main thing about sorcerers is they can use "metamagic" to upgrade their spells slightly and they can cast any spell they know with their spell slots. they dont prepare spells into specific slots. However they do still only know a very small amount of spells relative to most classes.
