I mean the government stops you - at least in the USA. If they find you, no matter how ‘responsible’ you are being they will charge you/kick you off the land unless you “own” the land.

Same, although I think the 1st book would have been better if it didn’t focus so much on the humans for at least the first half of the book.

Like I think it would have had more impact if we were guessing what was happening off planet instead of ‘seeing’ it.

Just watched the 1st couple of episodes of Pluribus.

Didn’t really know what to expect going in as a quick search only gave a very threadbare synopsis.

It’s a bit different then I thought it would be based on that synopsis, but I think I like what it is even more than if it was closer to what I was thinking.

If you’re a fan of Vince Gilligan you’ll probably enjoy this a lot.

It’s a good mix of seriousness and dark humor with a nice dash of oddness thrown in.

Not in his analogy. Fuckwad.

Lol I dont understand why y’all are so focused on dark souls. Is that the only game available?

I suffered through a lot of butthurt comments in this discussion where the people against “easy mode” are acting like all anyone cares about is dark souls having easy mode.

Sure some people are only arguing that. The majority are just arguing about difficulty options in general

Like I already said there are relatively “few” games where the difficulty is core to the game but a shitload more where the difficulty doesn’t really matter. And of that 2nd bunch there is a poor selection of difficulty options in most of them.

I couldn’t care less about dark souls. Even if it had difficulty options I wouldn’t waste my time on it.

But I’m the main character damnit, everyone else is NPCs.

Basically they have a super fragile ego.

They want to feel special.

It’s basically just a digital age version of the wanna be thugs acting like they grew up in a broken home on the mean streets when in reality mommy and daddy still wipe their ass in a suburban home.

And insisting games can only be for “you” is just as - if not more problematic.

But how else do I prove how big and hard my peepee is?

One of your problems is thinking people wanna play “pro football” when they just wanna play ‘football with the boys’ and you are basically saying “you can’t play here” when they show up to the field.

I mean thats how all the people arguing against difficulty options sound.

People need to touch grass. Is your ego really so fragile that you beating a game on hard mode is diminished by someone beating it on easy mode?

The truth is there are really only a “few” games where the difficulty actually matters in that it’s a core part of the games experience, but plenty more games that don’t have difficulty modifiers or really basic ones where the difficulty has zero actual relation to the game.

Dumbass - “easy” mode is the magnifying glass.

The one product slogan that was true.

Pizza in the morning, pizza in the evening, pizza anytime

It depends on a few factors.

The biggest one being why it’s flaccid and/or has runny cheese - Some pizzas are just greasy and lead to flaccid crust/runny cheese. And a greasy pizza isn’t necessarily bad.

Just like a burnt hot dog isn’t necessarily bad either. Seriously - a somewhat burnt hot dog can be delicious depending on the circumstances - just like an ice cold beer hits different outside on a hot day.
