@ClaireMax I feel you on audiobooks, so easy to just tune out the audio book and start thinking about other stuff. I also find the album American Idiot ends up background noise for me. No idea why. I think the song Stairway to Heaven does the same.

My book-reading habits are ENTIRELY tied to my ADHD. -I primarily read ebooks on my iPad because I can get book immediately instead of Waiting For Book or having to leave my house to acquire book -ebooks also mean so many book fits in iPad! Easy to read many at once! -audiobook no. Becomes background noise. Cannot focus. -will buy book if cover pretty. May not ever read book

@MGecko117 They don't really feel like they exist in the same world, if that makes sense.

I’m perfectly fine with sexy character designs, it would be extremely hypocritical of me to say otherwise, considering what I draw. But these designs feel extremely generic and uninspired. They look like something straight out of a P2W Korean MMO from a decade ago rather than a carefully crafted dark fantasy world with rich characters and lore The developer’s repeated attempts to say things like “this is what gamers actually want” and “this is consistent with our lore” also reek of major insecurity. All that tells me is that you’re not confident enough in these designs to let them speak for themselves

@RizzTheRatat @MAffable33525 @bendiddy @simsimmaaz of Gen Z. Gen X isn't even really getting in the way of Gen Z. Boomers are. Because Boomers have been clinging to power for so long, it has delayed three generations.

@RizzTheRatat @MAffable33525 @bendiddy @simsimmaaz realize. Because Millenials could not move up when they should have, they will not have enough earning to retire when they should which means they will have to work longer to make up for those missed earnings. And I think you see the point. Millenials are not getting in the way

That girl that said Millennials won't retire and are monopolizing the job market so Gen Z can't find jobs made things make so much sense to me. There's people out there that think Millennials are retirement age......

How cooked is Goku against thragg? 💀

@SamiSaysSo_ @StasisGame Resident Evil - single player - PS1 - 6.5-15 hours Metal Gear Solid - single player - PS1 - 11-18 hours Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell - single player - PS2 - 12-16 hours Happy now?

@TrippDinger @StasisGame No. You started rattling off single player games in a completely different genre. Uncharted 4: ~17h Tomb Raider (2013): ~10-15h The Last of Us: ~12-16h Indiana Jones/Great Circle: ~14h Residet Evil 9: ~15h InFAMOUS Second Son: ~10-25h First Light will be in good company.

20 hours of content for a single player experience is insane. Every Star Wars movie back to back is 25 hours. The LOTR extended cuts are 11 hours total. Throw in The Hobbit to get to the 20 hour mark. 10 average James Bond films will get you to 20 hours. That’s just under half the entire catalog. Open world games really did a number on the perception of expected play time with games.

@SamiSaysSo_ @StasisGame Where did I say every game has to be longer than 20 hours? OP said single player games have bloated above 20 hours since the advent of open world games. I went back and looked at games prior to open world games and found many single player experiences above 20 hours.

@TrippDinger @StasisGame god if you dont want to play it, dont. but we're not gonna sit here and pretend EVERY GAME needs to be 60 hours long. imagine if uncharted just kept going and going for 70 hours straight instead of like 10-15. it becomes a drag.

@SamiSaysSo_ @StasisGame games, how about we start comparing hours invested between things that are more comparable, like single player games. And let's look at games that pre-date "open world games" since the OP was complaining about those. Seems like my comparisons are more fair than the OPs.

@SamiSaysSo_ @StasisGame I don't know. Are all of these games single player? Yes. Do they all pre-date the era of "open world games"? Yes. Also, are the Lord of the Rings movies single player games? No. Are the James Bond movies single player games? No. If we're comparing hours invested between films and

@JDJA_FGC @StasisGame I'd like you to look at what systems those games were made for. Many of them predate the era of "open world" games. Games being 20 hours+ has been a thing since the NES, and you'd know that if you played something other than COD. To me, 20 hours seems pretty standard.

@TrippDinger @StasisGame All of these are open world RPGs? What the fuck are we even doing at this point

@DanHarmone Korra not being raised with knowledge of spirits in her era absolutely tracks. But she had other avatars to ask, at the start of this story arc. And the avatar just before her was fairly familiar with spirits at 12 years old, as seen in the episode with the forest spirit.

@DanHarmone Gonna be honest, her lack of knowledge of spirits is quite surprising, given she still has the knowledge of the past avatars available to her at the initial confrontation. As we saw, Aang had pretty extensive knowledge of the spirit world, just from being an Air Nomad.

Simple explanation Korra losing to dark spirits early isn’t a power inconsistency, it’s more of a skill gap. She didn’t know spirit-bending yet and had weak spiritual control, so she was basically fighting blind. By the time she faces Vaatu, she’s learned spirit-bending, understands the spirit world better, and is literally boosted during Harmonic Convergence with Raava. That’s not the same Korra anymore.

@StasisGame Chrono Trigger - single player - SNES - 20-25 hours Final Fantasy 6 - single player - SNES - 30-50 hours Final Fantasy 1 - single player - NES - 15-20 hours It kind of seems like you've never played an RPG if you're complaining about a game lasting 20 hours.

@StasisGame Kingdom Hearts Final Mix - single player - PS2 - 24-29 hours Final Fantasy 10 - single player - PS2 - 40-60 hours Final Fantasy Tactics - single player - PS1 - 50-60 hours, up to over 90 for true completion Have I made my point yet?

Enjoy your Swastikar, Brian. Goddamn fucking tool. I'd call you a Nazi Sympathizer, but as I am so found of saying, those don't exist. You're just a Nazi. Can't wait to see the photo of you doing the salute. Fuck all the way off.

@DanHarmone The other two he would struggle against though, definitely.

@DanHarmone Granted it's chi blocking versus blood bending, but the results are similar. And he had to frequently fight someone who could take his bending. And by that point in time Aang would have Spirit Bending. While Korra did not unlock that until after the initial confrontation.

Korra is such insanely stronger coz her villains aren’t just strong, they’re specialized counters to the Avatar itself. Amon can remove bending, Unalaq becomes a Dark Avatar, Zaheer weaponizes airbending, and Kuvira brings modern warfare. Meanwhile Aang’s final boss is just a very strong firebender with a temporary amp. No matter what nostalgia merchants say, its not debate Aang will severely struggle worse in TLOK world and env.
