In a broader sense, the best games are fun to simply exist in. Getting from point A to point B should be interesting from a movement perspective.

Mario Odyssey is a great example. Just parkour’ing around is a blast.

BotW has shield surfing and such.

Lots of shooters have a bunny hop mechanic.

Wave-dashing in Celeste.

Etc etc.

Peer to peer connection, no matchmaking.

That would be plenty for a co-op doom. Barebones? Yes. Needs barely any upkeep? Also yes.

Humans and LLMs learn in fundamentally different ways, though.

The nuance bit is really interesting, since I feel that nuance arises from these fundamental differences.

I do think some characters need to be tweaked. I also think it’s ok if it’s just silly fun.

I think I would rather see the entire roster approach OP vs trying to balance everything perfectly, as that is likely a fool’s errand.

How? It’s an overwatch with new characters to experiment with.

I expected it to be a janky mess but it actually plays well.

“How I want to live”, or how I actually live, is by not paying exorbitant prices at events like this (or exorbitant prices elsewhere).

I’ll go eat somewhere actually tasty before a game. In other areas I’m fairly frugal, as well.

Mobilizing some movement with enough people putting on an embargo to lower prices? Not even gonna try.

I do, think the OP is a step in the right direction and I’ll focus on that. I understand everything, in general, is too expensive.

Yeah, steps in the right direction are steps in the right direction.

Previous practice outrageous? Yup. New practice awesome? Yup. It’s ok to recognize both.

I feel like it’d be a miserable life if you took the negative part of this story and ran with that instead of the more positive side.

“This doesn’t affect me therefore it should be a non-issue for everyone else.”

I think that this problem is similar to the monkeysphere: there are too many issues and problems for us to worry about, so we typically pick the problems that are closest to us and most solvable.

This is basically the same idea that someone else mentioned in this thread.

Biomagnification is a thing, but people still eat tons of carnivores, like fish.

Eg for biomagnification is tuna has a high amount of mercury.

Believe it or not, animal crossing is meant to be played in small batches once you get to late game, if that’s even a thing in AC lol.

Can we be friends?

The people in here complaining about getting a full campaign along with PvE and PvP updates over two years for $60 are the reason we’re in this free-to-play, season pass, paid cosmetic hellscape.

Sonic Racing All-Stars Transformed sounds like it’d be up your alley.

Anecdotally, it’s not even a solution. I’ve run into “coincidental” ads without having the FB app installed (visiting FB via browser).

Dopest of chains.

This is like a dark intro into game theory.

I’m fairly fit, dabbled in bouldering, etc.

When I got to the cables part of angel’s landing, saw the amount of people attempting to finish the hike and their relative fitness level, I noped the f out of there.

I’m not trusting my life with some rando that looks like they have no business doing what they are doing.

Not a chain, but Judice Inn in Lafayette is 🔥
