It's be interesting if churches started requiring Bible reading and comprehension exams before people were allowed to attend service and call themselves Christians (or whatever other denomination)
When playing with friends/alone? Great! Customization is never a bad thing, and it enables groups with varied skill levels to still enjoy the game. Online multiplayer? Hate it hate it hate it.
One example: a lot of fps games are cross-platform these days, and I've never felt good about the things they do to balance mouse vs controller. I get why they attempt it, but it feels less like "balance" and more like they've created two different classes of players, controller being the close quarter players and mouse being the mid/long range flick shooters.
Another is any game that adjusts comeback mechanics during the course of a match, because I've never understood punishing someone for playing well
A lot of countries have tax treaties with each other as long as they're in good standing with each other, so that people only need to pay tax in one country (in the case where one maintains citizenship in one country while working in another). Unless you're making a shit ton of money to the point you're subject to different rules, it's highly unlikely you'll be double taxed
Fwiw I think rampage did a pretty solid job as BA, especially considering the pressure and expectations of having to replace mister t
Beware of spiders though
I've talked about it with people who are not rich themselves but who are around the mega rich because of their jobs... Apparently at a certain point, "things" lose their meaning and experiences become their new materialism. Hence why so many rich people get caught up in depraved shit that makes it on the news, because theyre down the rabbit hole of collecting wild experiences as opposed to cars or jewelry or whatever other entry level rich person stuff. Flexing becomes more about "have you been to x, have you done y" etc
Sure, but given the state of things, I think we're closer to the boys than we could ever be to the avengers
So... Do you often just stand in the middle of rooms while looking at your phone? That's pretty damn weird not gonna lie
Hey I do what I can
Problem for me is phones are uncomfortable to use for gaming in so many ways. My hands aren't even that big, and my thumbs cover a lot of the screen. Then phones get hot when using them a lot. Not to mention staring that long at a mobile screen makes my eyes feel like raisins. Plus it's really shit posture to sit with your neck bent at a 90° angle looking straight down into your lap. None of these are very enjoyable for a gaming experience.
I won't even talk about the crazy predatory nature of most phone games being aggressive dopamine hijackers, cause that's covered in the thread already, but that too.
Saddest day of my childhood was halfway through middle school when they switched from the classic red waffles you see here to these sponge "safety" dodgeballs, because the school board was afraid of kids getting injured. They were so light you couldn't get any speed behind your throws and when they hit you if felt like nothing more than a sharp gust of wind. I've never been the same since
