  • Space marine 2. You shoot things with guns that don’t feel powerful and you die if you don’t have perfect reaction timing to do executes. I’ve never played a game where the world says “oh you’re amazing and powerful!” but then makes you feel incredibly weak. Also, the timing for executes is not fun. It would be nice if they were bonuses but they are necessary to survive because they replenish your health. The gun gameplay is just shooting. No strategy. Boring. I’m going back to hell drivers 2.







  • Sigh. This is embarrassing to admit. I dipped my toes in those waters for a year or so but decided it wasn’t for me. Those grifters are preying on guys, like me, who struggle in relationships, which I do. I tried out their tactics and found one of two things. 1) it didn’t work at all like expected or 2) it worked like they said but it made me feel like total shit. I gave it up. That’s not the kind of person I wanted to be.

    The ends didn’t justify the means, at all. Additionally, the ends weren’t even what I wanted. The end goal for most PUA types is sex with the girl. I do like sex, but not to just get off. Call me sentimental, but I’m after a best friend who I can also have sex with. Negging someone doesn’t make them your best friend. It makes them a pawn to your manipulations.

    All that said, in short, I would guess a lot of guys tried it out and realized that they’re not sociopaths like the grifters are and decided that it’s not what they actually wanted.


  • When you grow up, life only gets worse.

    Not for me. Sure, some categories have gotten worse. Some have gotten better. On the whole, though, my balance is slightly positive… Slightly.

    You gotta get a job, sometimes two, to buy the stuff everyone wants and just to survive because not everyone is born with a silver spoon in their mouth

    No argument.

    All you do is sell your time on Earth and your very soul for minimum wage.

    Eh. I watched my kid at a art competition today. Art is beautiful and tickles my brain. Gotta find the good diamonds in the pile of shit that is life. Most things suck, our duty is to find the good bits.

    My existence is worthless. Nobody likes me either.

    Nobody likes me, either. While there is a part of me that would enjoy that, there’s another part that thinks it’s incredibly freeing. I am not beholden to anyone’s expectations. I can do whatever the hell I want.




  • Math is hard.

    So a gun has 2 damage types - normal and durable. An enemy has certain resistance types, normal and durable. Different ratios mean some weapons are better at hurting enemies than others? For a durable enemy, you want a high durable damage gun. For a normal enemy, you want a high normal gun. If you mix that (durable gun VS normal enemy or vice versa), it’ll work, but not well.

    Is that right?
