Is this quoting measurehead?

Boggles my mind when people claim that using mechanic present in the game is not playing the game "as intended".

Who do you think put the feature there? The pesky magical game dev that spawns at 2 am to code in a mimic tear?

The other replies are much more reactive, which I totally get given the discourse. I'd recommend a book called "Right Wing Women" by Dworkin to further explore this idea.

These MAGA women are likely trapped in their own belief, because their sense of self comes from the man that constantly dehumanizes them. If you escape, you are left with nothing (since that's what you have been indoctrinated to believe in). The only "out" is to be a good trad girl, and hope that the men praise you -- this is the only possible source of self-worth.

Not saying that this excuses their behaviour, but I hope this provides an additional layer of complexity rather than "MAGA women bad".

Even the gambler challenges? You're a God

You got this! Remember that STS rewards picking the option that immediately helps you, instead of trying to over-engineer some dream deck.

Great! Time to forgo every other aspect of my life while I grind out A20s

Can I just say thank fuck I found someone else who doesn't like three body problem.

It's not just the heavy handed politics. It's literally everything about the book. Narrative devices used are absolutely garbage. Oh there's a video game for some reason, and people LARP as Newton and Qin Shih Huang down to their exact personalities. Why the fuck?

In the second book there's an entire section dedicated to the protag's fantasies. A woman should have at most a Bachelor's so she's smart but not smart enough (paraphrased). What the fuck? And don't get me started on the suicide bomb strat that immediately saw the Muslims and Japanese roped in.

The characters are incredibly dull. They just do one thing, but they don't even do that well. Oh here's Mr. Army guy; personality: army salute-y pragmatic unfeeling. The only character that has an added dimension would be Da Shi the policeman, but adding one more dimension to a point simply results in a plane.

People claim he had innovative ideas for sci-fi. They do realise that the Dark Forest Hypothesis was proposed by someone other than cixin, right?

This turned out to be a rant -- could you tell I hate-read this book cause it pissed me off to no end?

One can only hope

Tunic is amazing! Although the combat feels very clunky (maybe I'm spoiled by sekiro).

Thankfully, you can just turn on reduced difficulty, since the beauty of the game lies not in the slow combat, but the puzzles and puzzles within those puzzles. Also the main character is adorable.

Steamed? Nah you gotta stir fry that shit for maximum flavor. Or pop some in the oven/air fryer to get delicious crispy broccoli.

With all due respect, I'm all for FOSS but DAWs don't really have a good alternative. Recommending Audacity over FL/Live/Logic like saying Paint is a good free alternative for Photoshop. Doesn't really make sense.

Iirc the only DAW that might barely be enough is LMMS which runs on Linux.

Every single time Adobe is mentioned, everyone rushes to mention GIMP. I'm convinced 90% of them have never even opened GIMP before.
