Pirat gave me an egg emoji, so I baked some more cupcake emojis. Have one for getting it so close without even using a calculator 🧁

You got as far as nanoseconds so here’s a cupcake for extra credit too 🧁

The other day I saw someone ask ChatGPT how long it would take to perform 1.5 million instances of a given task, if each instance took one minute. Mfs cannot even divide 1.5 million minutes by 60 to get get 25,000 hours, then by 24 to get 1,041 days. Pretty soon these people will be incapable of writing a full sentence without ChatGPT’s input

Edit to add: divide by 365.25 to get 2.85 years. Anyone who can tell me how many months that is without asking an LLM gets a free cookie emoji

There’s no problem, so we don’t need one. We got by just fine without age verification on the internet for decades

You sell that cert to a local kid for $50

You generate another cert to sell to a local kid tomorrow

???

Profit

Oh yeah just pack up and move! What an easy solution! Why didn’t the Jews think of that back in the 30’s and 40’s? They could have ended the holocaust all on their own by simply leaving!

I fuckin wish dude

“Anything goes 18+” doesn’t exclude the possibility of some things going <18. I think the name of this fallacy is like “denying the antecedent” or something nerdy like that

Nobody’s downvoting your for saying 25 and 10 is gross, they’re downvoting you because you’re bringing up irrelevant nonsense. 19 and 15 is weird, but I’d rather see that 19 year old go free than make a 19 year old register as a sex offender because he slept with his 17 year old girlfriend.

The static age gap thing is an issue. 30-20 is way worse than even 55-35, despite that being twice the gap. Half your age plus seven solves that by making the socially acceptable age gap grow with age.

Lots of people here happy to cut off their nose to spite their face. 4chan losing this battle means everyone loses it

See you in a few days for the anniversary of its shutdown

Seeing this face transported me to a better time for a moment

Yeah you’re right it’s really important to use “der” for Apfel because Äpfel are men or something lmao

Don’t you dare misgender that pencil lmao his pronouns are he/him

Complexity in move-set must also be decreased.

No? Increase time between moves that are difficult to dodge or parry, reduce damage that those moves deal. Difficulty is reduced while complexity remains the same.

Also in the game world enemy placement and quantity must be adjusted to lower dificulty. Otherwise it’ll be, mostly, just as hard

I’ve never met anyone who actually has trouble with normal enemies in these games, it’s always bosses that give us trouble. But also, see my first point.

I almost added this to my reply to them, but it was already getting kind of long-winded. Yes, actually, accessibility settings in horror games is amazing. If the point is to achieve a certain level of scary, and the game is too scary for me to play, then giving me the option to reduce the scary will make the game the right amount of scary for me. Accessibility settings don’t give me an easier experience than yours, they give me an equivalent experience to yours.

Lies of p has a difficulty slider that decreases damage from the enemies and increases the party window. That really doesn’t do much. You still need to “memorize” the moves no amount of button mashing saves you even on easy.

It sounds like that’s a happy medium between “Mash attack until victory” and “memorize every attack pattern and still get stomped.”

Do we argue horror games should have options for low horror so we can enjoy it without the horror? puzzle games should have a second set of easier puzzles for those who find them too hard? Story centric games should have low-story varients for those who still want to play? That dating sims should have aromantic varients for those who just like the comedy?

None of these are analagous to the accessibility options people want in soulslikes. None of these are literally unplayable for people who simply don’t like the genre. If you don’t like the horror aspects of a horror game, you can look up when jump scares will happen. If you can’t figure out a puzzle, you can look up hints. There’s nothing preventing you from sitting through a story you aren’t interested in. Contrast all of these with Remnant: From the Ashes, which I desperately wish I could play because I like the story and the gameplay, but I can’t because there isn’t a single boss I can beat. I can’t just look up the answers to a puzzle online, I can’t just sit through a story that I don’t find interesting, there is literally nothing I am able to do to progress. Giving me the option to reduce the insane health pools on bosses would take nothing away from the people who like chipping away at a brick wall for half an hour.

The intense strategic combat where numbers change little and skill changes everything is the point. That’s what these games are built around it’s their fundamental concept.

What an insult to the writing teams. The only game I can think of that this actually applies to is IWBTG. Numbers change little? The game you’re describing is Sekiro. Every single other soulslike in existence relies heavily on boss enemies having really big numbers and the player having really small numbers. What “strategic combat” is involved with killing the Orphan of Kos? Hit enemy, don’t get hit, repeat.

It was great back when they did. The ability to press a bunch of buttons and get a jetpack and an uzi and an airplane only improved GTA
