yes- there's a specific word for it that i can't remember. probably more than one

sometimes it's a combination of joy for the good things in life and the sadness of knowing they won't stay the same forever- preemptive reminiscing, or nostalgia for the present. babysitting a nice kid with a serious mental disability feels that way. goodbyes (even temporary ones) can be like that. or maybe it's going out and doing something fun, and wondering why i wasn't doing it 5 years ago. as a kid i might get the feeling thinking about the bewildering potential of the rest of my life. i think important ceremonies like marriage and graduation are meant to evoke that feeling

other times, if i'm feeling depressed, i can accept the depression and let go of my responsibilities. i'll curl up with a book, tv series, video game, or whatever at home and avoid people for a few days. it's an enjoyable, self-destructive happiness/depression. feels like being a pig in slop, but it's nice. being of one mind, to not have the "id" and "ego" arguing anymore (id and ego aren't real things, but you get my point)

there's also accomplishing something meaningful while melancholy. acing a test, winning a sports game, getting a new job, getting someone bad out of your life, getting some kind of strong personal victory, even doing physical volunteer/charity work, or helping a friend move. it feels gratifying and maybe kind of like an enjoyable anger. i think a lot of trolls on the internet are trying to replicate that feeling by dunking on others. come to think of it, i think a lot of people playing challenging or competitive video games are looking for that feeling

i'm rambling, but emotions are super interesting to me and aren't easily quantifiable

word spud and earwax are legit answers

i'm only a little surprised by the "monster seeking monster" hate. the issue with it is that it takes everyone a couple of awkward plays before they realize it's not really a flirting game, it's a deep-ish mafia/one-night-ultimate-werewolf, and it takes a while to learn what the roles are

there's always that one horny or shy person that takes it a little too seriously, and that's kind of the game's fault

Best: drawful
Worst: word spud

I played a lot of these in the 2013-2018 era. It thankfully replaced cards against humanity in my social circle, but everything gets old after a while, even jackbox

Hard for me to pick a favorite, so I went with the easily approachable banger that features art, cleverness, and social deception. Probably the best intro to the series possible. can swap that out for fibbage if the players are less artistically inclined

Tee K.O. got the biggest laughs one night out of the entire group i'd ever seen- almost picked that one. It's missing the trickery but has so much fun, accidental cooperation, which makes it a good middle ground between the artsy, clever, and "lolz random" crowds.

I personally enjoy the semi grounded trivia games like fibbage and guesspionage, but they're a little more subdued and don't evoke as much laughter

Even the more niche ones like bidiots (or fakin it) add a lot of depth to the library- my roommates and I would crack that one out periodically

I have to be in a rare mood to enjoy the pure "say something random and vote on the funniest!!" genre, and word spud is the most undercooked one they have. Even when we're in the mood, it just doesn't work and literally no one wants to play it, which makes it an easy pick for worst.

That being said, I don't even remember what earwax or civic doodle were, so it's plausible that they're very rough

I remember reading an article about the original launch of Ultima online

All the npcs, creatures, etc were simulated, had desires, and would reproduce and so on

But the players just slaughtered everything immediately and ruined the ecosystem (for example, all of the rabbits and wolves died, so no new wolves or rabbits could be created)

So, they rolled those systems back and replaced them with normal game stuff. I think proper simulation clashes with player experience most of the time

also, dwarf fortress still has an adventure mode i think (?). that was their original goal, then people were more interested in the dwarf management aspect

I take it you and all the "drugs r gr8 legalize crystel meth!!!!1" crew don't live anywhere near a city that is experiencing high rates of drug abuse, and low rates of them getting taken off the street because your government doesn't believe in punishing criminals.

The level of ignorance in this comment is staggering.

The point is to transfer the drug war away from punishment and into treatment, which is more effective at making the streets safe

Save the punishment for real crimes

I am curious about a class like this tbh, I want videos or something that teach more than just a recipe

Well, I wouldn't recommend it, but the class i checked out was a free course on udemy sometime last year

So search around online and you might be able to find something. Idk if a culinary school or community College is the "real" place to learn it, but that probably prices out casual learners

first type- slow to disturb, quick once you alert them. maybe going too fast for their balance and falling forward towards you. the rupturing hollows from dark souls 2 are actually pretty good representatives, aside from the exploding part

but i do think explosions have a place. what are mummies known for? their pyramids, riddled with poisonous gas and traps of various kinds. i think there's room for mummies that are closer to liches- advanced magic, jewel broaches, and so on. i actually do have trouble distinguishing between d&d liches and magic mummies to the point that i think they're pretty much the same thing.

toning that down, i could see them shooting blasts of light or electricity magic or something

smoking's already banned in public indoor spaces where i am. i'm very glad for it

i've been to illegal parties or whatever you want to call them where people felt comfortable smoking indoors ("we're already breaking the law"), and it was miserable. although, now that i read up, i don't know why i'm surprised to learn that pretty much the entire southeast allows smoking everywhere

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_smoking_bans_in_the_United_States

i don't see a good reason to ban them outdoors/outright. drug wars don't work

just keep showing kids gross images of smoker lungs and the number will keep going down. not sure what we should replace it with tbqh. a large subset of teens really shouldn't be doing psychedelics of any kind, and we can't identify who is who before negative effects appear

There are two types of people who play black mage: those who like big crits and those who like to go fast. You must be a crit main

that's actually pretty accurate. i love high dps, and every time i have to step outside of the circle i feel the pain

deathlooop's solid- i think i give it an 8.5, maybe a 9

i care about the two leads and i enjoy the mystery of unraveling what's going on. the controls start out a little frustrating, but once you unlock a couple of powers it opens up

it has fun puzzle elements, but most of the time the game holds your hand so tightly that you're better off just following the quest markers. you can always explore for more leads, but trying to solve any individual lead by going anywhere but the orange diamond is a mistake

hitman is better at being hitman, and majora's mask is better at being majora's mask, but i think deathloop is great as a hybrid of those games and (this is pretty much cheating) dishonored or bioshock infinite.

if anyone here remembers 2013, i have a vague suspicion that reviewers might have whiplash with deathloop in the same manner as they did with bioshock infinite. reviewers were hyping up infinite and throwing out 10/10s, and then 6 months later they were all acting like the game tricked them. this game deserves an 8.5 or 9, but i could see people going for clickbait titles next year dunking on deathloop

the low points of deathloop are that for the most part you can't interact with the ambient environment or NPCs in very many meaningful ways. you can create noises, hack turrets and cameras, put gumballs on the floor to trip people... and that's pretty much it. the standard enemy AI isn't amazing

on the other hand, all of the NPC's scripted events are cute and their banter has character, and finding new ways to get through the areas with different powers is fun and can make you feel clever

the pvp is great in my opinion. you can even semi-coop with your friend and cheese things out if you want

the game is absolutely fun, but i don't see any urgency for people to play the game RIGHT NOW. if you're a frugal gamer you can wait, if you're not i say go for it
