It's very good. I think I've played too many soulsborne games over the years- even with all the upgrades and tweaks it has the same core and I'm not chomping at the bit to finish

I think the centipede and the blue lunge attack man should have been even earlier in the game to teach the respective mechanics

Yeah, the legal question seemed to be whether incorrectly believing yourself to be in your own is enough to invoke the castle doctrine

It's like self defense clauses. When you kill someone in self defense, it's still murder. You're not contesting that. The onus is then on you to prove the murder was justified, and different states have different criteria for that

The jury has to interpret any force used as reasonable unless the state proves it otherwise beyond a reasonable doubt, said Pete Schulte, a Dallas-based lawyer.

According to Schulte and Fort Worth law firm Barnett Howard & Williams, a person can claim self-defense if:

- They believed someone was on their property illegally.
- They reasonably believed the deadly force was immediately necessary.
- They did not provoke the person against which the deadly force was used.
- They werent engaged in criminal activity (other than a minor traffic offense) at the time the deadly force was used.

Honestly, I think the jury went down the list and found her guilty by the letter of the law.

I'm aware there is racial subtext, but I believe the jury was doing their best to be impartial

plus, i imagine it's all about control

you always have zero control over a stranger, so you don't lose any control by reporting them to the police

you do have some control over a close friend or family member, which you give away by turning them over to an outside authority figure

The family protection happensfor any moral infraction but becomes moreintense when a person is guilty of severe consequences such as theft, blackmail, groping or even MURDER!!

oh, it's here.

it sounds like it's not that people are more likely to let heavier crimes slide, it's about the difference in treatment between strangers and family.

it could be

Family member walks on the grass: 10% report
Stranger walks on the grass: 12% report

Family member kills a stalker: 70% report
Stranger kills a stalker: 99% report

even though the report rates are much higher in each case, the relative difference ("protection") is higher for the more intense crime (20% vs. 27%)

Also just to be clear, I dont give a shit about what Trump did or did not do here. Even in the worst case scenario I dont really care, in a vacuum.

I only care about it as a potential avenue to remove him from office. If this is what it takes to get Congress to move, then all systems go

This is a really dumb take.

I mean, I get it

Trump has already proven he's unfit for office many times over. We don't need to pretend he has a clean slate every time some new terrible thing happens.

I do care about his corrupt practices, but I'm already well past the point of needing to be convinced. We're now at the "what are you gonna do about it"/"get out the vote" stage

haha, in some ways i agree. i was just surprised they had her periodically falling into the MC's arms during cutscenes! if they were going for that they should've backed it up with more dialogue/story stuff. her visual and gameplay design is awesome. absolutely a main party member.

The dev definitely included more dateable characters.

they absolutely went down the list of romantic interest tropes/archetypes and checked off a lot of those boxes. some were hits and some were misses, but i feel like you're not supposed to engage with an anime-like medium without being a little uncomfortable

persona is the only rpg series i've enjoyed recently outside of nostalgia

even considering there was an intentional (and in my opinion more true to life) gag where every time the crew tried to have fun it would be ruined by something, i still wish the party had more bonding time/rapport

the individual social link stories were pretty great. in my dream persona game, their emotional progress would be reflected in the main story scenes (ann and ryuji in particular stand out as characters that could benefit)

combat was obviously improved. i really enjoy the social/daily life aspects with a heroic night life as a backdrop, but sometimes i wish the dungeons were shorter- i'd spend 4+ hours in a row in the same dungeon because i wanted to minimize the number of game nights taken up by battle. and that's my fault.

Oh, and to answer the actual poll, Tae was easily my favorite. Kawakami had the funniest/dumbest plotline. Stop trying to ship Makoto, game!

i think this question is completely subjective

i know that high level players really like complicated games that require a high level of practice before they are enjoyable at all

on the other hand, my friends and i are really bad at fighting games, so we like ones that are easier to pick up. i think the modern nether realms games (mortal kombat, injustice) are super fun to pick up and get better at.

I've played dominion and splendor

They both can feel pretty punishing if you play casually for one or more early turns. So if there's no way to come back, at least make the game short so players can get back in the next game

Randomness can help with that, but some other players hate all randomness

Splendor has some good randomness in that it can be played around somewhat

If both people need a blue gem but there are none on board, you can find this funny stalemate situation where no one takes anything and just keeps optimizing their chip counts

One thing to decide is how much players can gang up on each other. There's probably somewhere happy in the middle. I don't like it when games come down completely to king making, and also don't like it when I can't do anything to screw over the lucky or early first place person

I recognize that might mean I just don't like anything, but hey

I do, however, regret most 4x game purchases. I end up getting suckered into buying one every other year or so. Most recent one was stellaris. They always feel like they're just about to become fun, but never actually get there for me. I don't think they're bad games, they're just not for me

It's tough, but I do really think sm64 and halo are the two games I'd use to get someone hooked on gaming

Simple enough, fluid gameplay, sense of exploration, enough of a mission or story, mystery...
