Of course drug prohibition is much less reasonable than a mask mandate

We have about 13,000 years recorded in the age of the sun, but I mean it's not an entirely misguided question. That said, warfare 500 years ago was more like warfare 13,000 years ago than it is like warfare today so that's something to keep in mind

Of the little I've played of The Witcher, the combat feels so light and detached. Like you're whittling down health bars, but the enemies and the attacks don't have the same sort of weight as I'd like. It's probably fine for the sort of game it is, but I never really felt satisfied with how it looks and plays when you fight something. Everything looks so pre-planned and samey after a while.

When I think of fun, weighty combat, I think Ratchet and Clank, Kingdom Hearts and Jak and Daxter. They're cartoony, and two of them really aren't comparable to The Witcher's play style, but enemies feel solid and real and weighty, and your attacks feel like they land. Kingdom Hearts, while not directly comparable to The Witcher's gameplay, is an action RPG where you primarily use a sword and magic to defeat opponents - and every hit, every swath of enemies you cut through, feels weighty and fun.

I dunno. Honestly I feel like video game combat took a nosedive with Batman Arkham Asylum, it was cool at the time but so many games have taken cues from it and baked elements of it directly into their combat systems. I miss when hitting something actually felt like hitting something, and not just unleashing another fancy attack animation for visual flair and minimal impact.

That shit started earlier than that. I remember when kh2 came out and had a ton of lame QTEs

So what do you think the average essential worker is going to do? They're actually working their asses off while people on unemployment are doing literally nothing productive. All they do is just say oh yeah those essential workers should get paid more while doing absolutely nothing to contribute to that goal for months, but the moment that $600 gonna expire; "DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE!"

This kinda shit pisses me off because I've been trying to get more broad relief for this whole time. Don't try to act like everyone is a hypocrite

There are only 2 occasions where I turn the game volume down and watch Youtube videos on my second screen (PC games). First is grinding, like in the Borderlands games when I'm grinding for guns or grinding out characters with 3+ playthroughs each. Or for Switch games I'll take it out of the dock and watch TV while grinding.

Second is games I don't give any fucks about the music. Literally right now I have Slay the Spire on my second screen while I watch Youtube videos and type this. I'll also play Total Warhammer 2 and Civ 6 in with no sound because who cares about the sound for all of those games. Right now those are my 3 games to play when I want to watch long videos.

The video game I play the most is MTG Arena and I'll always be watching an 80s action movie in the background

600 a week for most of the country was wayyyy too high. People had no incentive to try and go back to work. Welfare and unemployment are supposed to be safety nets, not a way of life.

There aren't jobs to go back to. There's a pandemic happening that's making people spend much less money, and when people spend less money we have less to do which means there are fewer jobs.

By giving people money to spend, we help ameliorate that problem

Local governments have purposely limited the supply of new housing, particularly in urban areas where there is the highest demand for housing. It's almost impossible to build affordable housing in many US cities.

Wages on the other hand are very high and basically no Americans actually support themselves on the minimum wage.

I guess. Median incomes were at at an all time high ... tied with the years prior our last two recessions
