Exactly. I literally don’t understand why people even care about save scumming (and the name is ridiculous to me too lol). It’s like my favorite part of the game. I love being able to relax and know I can mess around without completely fucking my game over. I get to explore everything to the fullest. If someone wants to be a hard ass about it, they can just…not reload?
I read this as someone being real mad that the game is chaotic, and it’s like, that’s the best part about the game to me? There’s no ACTUAL DM, so the next best thing is what in my mind I’m calling the “death loop” system, just being able to go back and load a different save. At a game table the DM would, within reason, find a way to work with PCs being ridiculous; since it’s not possible to truly replicate that, the game just embeds chaos in the decision trees instead. That’s literally what makes it so fun. Most of the time the game is telegraphing what the real dumbass choices are, but I like how it’s not always immediately obvious. It keeps me on my toes. And sometimes I just save before choosing the stupidest option simply because I want to watch that shit play out.
I just feel like they’ve fundamentally misunderstood the point here.
Would really appreciate it if this article had actual links to supporting articles/documentation. I can’t find anything recent in the news that corroborates this number. Admittedly I didn’t look too hard, but still - OP do you have any additional sources here? This website is vague af
Is anyone else really confused why so many people are concerned about this when the Earth is literally boiling away and fascists are integrating themselves into every government system? I’m not saying we should be completely ignoring this concern but I just do not understand the obsession with it. My dad keeps talking about the AI singularity and I’m like that’s the least of our problems right now? Maybe that’s just me but…
I feel like normally I would share y’all’s view on this and be like “good” but now I can’t help think about how Twitter was a critical space for organizing a lot of resistance movements. Really starting to believe those pieces that were like “Musk bought Twitter to bury it”
We were all like “he’s not that smart” at the first few articles, but now I’m like, this dude has poisoned the well so utterly - and now he’s getting rid of blocking, apparently? - like, fuck. (And yes organizing on a corpo platform was never going to be truly reliable/safe, but still, esp for folks just getting exposed to activism, this “on ramp” space going to shit really sucks.)
I know we’ll always find/create new spaces for ourselves, but this is a blow to a lot of networks.
You’re AuDHD, and I believe everything that’s happening to you at home. It’s real and you’re not lying or making it up. You don’t deserve this. You’re a good person and your family wasn’t prepared or willing to meet your needs. You are NOT a burden or an unlovable, broken failure of a child. You are BEAUTIFUL.
Keep writing & fiercely loving your stories - NEVER give up on them, or anything else that brings you joy; your interests & passions & the woman you love (and that love is NOT wrong) are your family now.
Incredible story. This is making me reflect on a lot of things. I’ve had the same feelings re: projection of the mind, and I feel much calmer hearing this. Thank you so much for sharing.
Threads of Fate. Shape shifting into the cool creature forms (esp the gargoyle) and running around.
Okami. Literally, the whole ass game lol.
WoW. Exploring, collecting herbs, and skinning mobs in druid forms.
LOTRO. Just riding around.
Witcher 3. Just riding around, taking in the views - and possibly being waylaid by random wolf packs and bandits, but then the cool music starts playing and Geralt says hilarious random shit while chopping heads so that’s also fine.
Genshin Impact. Just running around doing random shit as Klee.
This messed me UP the first time, omfg
I just laughed so hard at this. 😂 Thanks
I’m legit wondering what the term for communication between…Xs…is…? Like…???
They are called TWEETS, ELON! TWEETS!
Appreciate you and everyone else who broke this down for me!
I’m a non-techie and don’t understand half of this, but from what I do understand, this is a goddamn nightmare. The world is seriously going to shit.
Signal. We just have a group chat. No idea what the extended family is up to anymore though.
I use this app and I really love it; I’ve even donated in the past. The pictures are awesome & it’s so fun to see which one will load. I have even paid for a personal license for one of those background pics so I could use it as a wallpaper.
Is this a fucking joke?? Holy shit lmao.
Really starting to wish there was a rule against self-promotion, or that all self-promotion was kept to one community (maybe Chat?)
Like come on.
Edit: Meant this as a reply to a thread. 🤷
Of course, French went out and protested anyway, lol. Did they really think they can stop the spirit of resistance in France of all places? It’s laughable. The government may be going off the deep end, but that doesn’t mean all French are, thank God.
