  • personally, as someone who was absolutely in love with ow1, ow2 just isn't the same to me. I've never been able to see it as anything other than the regrettable cash grab that it was. I could never really enjoy it. rivals tho? rivals is fun. and I don't have that nagging voice in the back of my head telling me I'm just playing with the taxidermied corpse of a game I once loved.

    also rivals is just kind of solid? the characters might be a little bland because corporatism and fitting an already designed mold but the game play is rather fun.

    and im v much not a marvel fan, supeheros in general are just kind of meh. tbh the only superhero media I've vibed with at all is doom patrol. moon knight was p good but it doubles down on the "killer alter" stereotype and I'm so not here for that, nor do I like his gameplay in rivals.

  • sociopaths and children is who. have you ever been in charge of something important? something that actually matters to a number of people? if it turns into a power trip you need to grow the fuck up. it should be a humbling experience, that many people are relying on you take care of them in one way or another.

    and to make people you don't like 'grovel' is just maintaining a cycle of violence.

  • yeah, they might not be therapists, but to start pontificating at someone you're supposed to care about instead of listening to them and having a conversation? that's just being a bad friend. it doesn't just feel dismissive, it is dismissive. op's friend was not engaging with how they feel and what they're going through, they're telling op how they want them to be. and you can absolutely "get it right." you can listen, engage and commiserate. show sympathy and empathy.

    I've been on the receiving end of several of those talks and let me tell you most of those people never gave a shit to begin with. the rest are just bad at communicating. just because it's normal doesn't mean it's good.

    we can all do better, be better.

  • I'm not well versed in this but I was under the assumption that anyone who worked 32 or more hours was eligible for some kind of insurance through their employer, which is why so many people are stuck at 31 hours a week.

  • aluminum is stable in the sense that the outer layer oxidizes rapidly and prevents the rest of the metal from reacting with anything. the reason thermite is so exothermic is because of massive amount of surface area provide by the powdered metal. a chunk of aluminum simply isn't dangerous.
