Why would primordial, the most basic collection of cells, be at the top and not the beginning of the chain?

Primordial gods are considered to be a step above the other gods, they just don't care enough to rule. Imagine Zeus the God of Thunder trying to fight the primordial manifestation of movement and change. The gods are rulers of the universe, Primordials are the very foundation of the universe itself and could destroy it with a thought.

Even the Christian God before, he was retconned to be the only one, was only given such a high respect because he brought order to a small dot of Chaos and formed the earth. It's like taking a fort in a war while being completely surrounded for miles and considering it "defeating the enemy."

The yellow paint is only really necessary in the event they aren't given enough a time in the design phase. If everything works correctly, you should be drawn towards the correct way to go by visual cues. Having the yellow paint means it's not necessary to indicate with those visual cues which make for a less planned out environment. It is at best a crutch so that game designers can focus on more important things. It should not be seen as an end to itself.

This breaks down for lots of open-world games, although the linear dungeons can absolutely still be done without the line.

JRPGS are the game equivalent of switching between reading a book and playing chess every 20 minutes. They're great on their own but the story and the gameplay may as well be entirely different forms of media.

Nier was fucking awesome but it should have been a book instead of this 15 hour game filled with fun but basic combat.

For Chili and stuff, definitely use soya de carne. It's almost indistinguishable form ground beef. Harder to make into a burger of course but still okay.

Cuts of beef are a lot harder to make and will probably necessitate some more research tbh.

GayTuckerCarlson is pretty funny though.

Nuclear Throne in perfect action roguelite imo.

Simple, refined, and fun as hell. The perfection of fast-paced action combat. Nearly unlimited mechanical depth but you can explain everything in 5 minutes.

I read the manga but I didn't stick with it long. Is it a slow burn kinda thing or if I don't like it after the first 2 volumes then I'll probably not like it in general?

Nuclear throne for single player

TF2 for multiplayer. I wish I had an actual group to play with though.

Le epic redditer moment

Your vote matters just as much as everyone else's.

Unless you live in non-swing state in which case your vote literally means nothing as you're a minority voter for at least the next 30 years. Even then, the vote of someone in a state with a small population gives more of a share of electoral college votes than a populous state. Plus the whole 2 senators a state thing etc etc.

Your whole position is flawed. You're reversing the responsibility of ensuring people get to vote. Politicians are well paid professionals whose entire job is to ensure that their political plans come to fruition. Blaming some doomer online for the failures of the party is completely missing the point.

Nope, and the Dead Horses are already war-like. The Sorrows are the ones that are relatively peaceful.

Here's the quote from siding with Graham about the Dead Horses:

They remained neutral toward the Sorrows, but as years went on, there were periods of competitive friction, even violence, between the tribes.

And here's the quote about the Sorrows:

The Sorrows' transformation from a peaceful, timid tribe into a merciless, warlike people broke Daniel's heart. Over time, the Sorrows became ever more ruthless in their dealings - even with each other.

Of course it changes a bit depending on whether Salt-Upon-Legs is killed by the courier, spared, or let go. But it's absolutely canon that Sorrows and Dead Horses fight and become more brutal.

I remember something about them preserving their innocence or something

Daniel mourns the loss of their innocence in the Graham ending and that's the only ending that mentions innocence.

Did you read the rest of the sentence, or the paragraph? Or are you just knee-jerk reacting to a part of what I said? Honest question.

It's the latter, unfortunate part of hexbear's culture being so focused on dunking. I've been flamed for comments that get widespread support a few weeks later. Whether or not most people disagree is entirely based on the vibes of the post for minor issues.
