That’s what I thought. Thank you. I didn’t see any info on the differences or similarities.

Is there any difference between lemmy.ca and piefed.ca?

Once again, boomers created participation awards.

I was debating saying beating Consort Radahn. It took me about a day of grinding to learn patterns, figure out strategies, find all the upgrades, and simply have the best RNG.

I didn’t want to respect and just cheese him either. I will never attempt to beat him again, but I do feel satisfied that I beat him.

Merhaba, Bart dostum.

Knew it was the house hippo before clicking the link.

This is such a fascinating case. I had the privilege of being close with some of the Saugeen people during the end of their legal battles.

I had heard through the grape vine that at one point the Saugeen People were willing to settle for half, and the town said no. Now they have ended up with nothing.

Outside of the iconic opening, and some other iconic shots, this film is another that the cultural osmosis doesn’t do justice.

It tastes like burning.

For me, it comes down to not being able to decide moment to moment if I want to engage with monsters. It’s not a problem grinding, however, being forced to delay exploration and progressing the story because of bad RNG is infuriating.

And I feel that most of the ways that random monsters have been implemented can be accomplished with at the very least visible indications of monsters on the map.

Maybe there is a way to lean into the frustration and create a meaningful experience, but for a traditional JRPG, I have to force myself to overcome random encounters. Heck, even later JRPS implemented systems to liven up the experience with auto battles and realtime elements.

For myself, turn-based is not the problem with old RPGs, it has always been random encounters.

Uh huh, so why did YOU ORDER THEM BACK!

And that doesn’t address the content it offers.

Trump.

Reddit stopped being fun last November.

I am not engaging with it as much as I used to, and now I am actively annoyed with it and trying to make Lemmy my default again.

Smithers, who was that corpse?

It’s true, Korean animation is so lame!

(Not really.)

Furthermore, it’s people operating withing a system that has failed them.

Hypothetically, where everyone is equal and starting on equal foot, giving everyone morem oney likely would benefit most.

But we don’t live in hypothetical land. Those resorting to begging are primarily in a bad state and we’ll down the path of mental instability, chronic homelessness, addiction, physical disabilities, or escaping abuse. They don’t have the education or mental capacity to make the right choices financially and don’t have safety nets to get them on their feet.

I don’t agree with it for two specific reasons, non is a judgement of character or moral failings:

1. If you are willing to give a beggar any amount, those dollars would be far more useful in the hands of a good organization whose aim is helping people. Want to feed them? Give them food or donate to the food back. Want to clothe them? Give to a shelter.
2. The reality is that these people are likely not capable adults due to a variety of reasons (no judgement). They are not capable making good decisions for their own well-being and giving them money is fueling an unhealthy choice, like short term happiness for long term pain and potentially death.

My belief is that we should mitigate suffering, help them live good lives, and set them up to be contributing members of society, and that isn’t accomplished by randomly giving people money.
