I have many pet peeves when it comes to games, but the biggest that I can think of off the top of my head is the boss fights in games that don’t let you use the weapons & skills/techniques that you’d used to get to that point. It just pisses me off when they let you develop a character with particular skills and weapons only to force a particular combat style that’s contrary to what you’d used up till that point.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down.English
14·22 days agoThat’s precisely how the debate between myself any my SO was finally ended. The seat stays down now unless in use.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How many of you are actually fine with living in USA or are you planning on moving some where else?English
23·28 days agoThere are multiple reasons why most people don’t shift countries willy-nilly.
Moving, even within the same state is a difficult, stressful, and expensive prospect. Moving to a different country is even more so, and that assumes you have a job lined up when you get there or substantial monetary reserves. Then there are the legal hurdles, which depending on the destination country can be downright daunting. In many countries unless you are a top earner with an in-demand skill-set you are likely to experience significant legal challenges to even achieve temporary residency. And then there are language and cultural differences that can make life difficult once you get there. Unless you have friends/family already in the destination country and/or know the language you can expect it to be rough going for quite a while.
All this would be compounded if you have a family. Not to mention the added difficulty and expense involved with visiting or supporting extended family members or friends back in your original home country after leaving.
Simply put, most people simply can’t move countries whenever the political situation in their home country gets dicey. It’s only after the fighting starts do you see people doing that in significant numbers and at that point they are refugees.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever cried because of a video game?English
2·6 months agoOh, thanks for letting me know. It appears that I’d inadvertently mangled it. It’s been corrected.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever cried because of a video game?English
5·6 months agoIn my second play-through of CP77, I played as a female V just so I could romance Judy. It was great. Even went so far as to decorate V’s apartments with pictures of the two of them together. So when the end came, I was not emotionally prepared for …
spoiler
… the revelation that Judy had decided to leave NC and V.
While I can’t say I cried, it was probably the closest I’ve come to crying because of a video game.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Lemmings who have personal experience with bipolar disorder (self, family, or friends), how hopeless is the situation, really?English
5·8 months agoLike a lot of things, the answer is “it depends”. Probably the biggest factor I’ve seen is the willingness to accept their condition and stick with the prescribed medications. The worst cases I’ve seen all involved individuals who either consistently or intermittently refused to acknowledge their condition and take the meds. It usually resulted in some near tragic circumstances that costs them friends, jobs, and the support of loved ones. In one case I know the end result was fully tragic. However, some people who are bipolar have lived mostly normal lives, so not all hope is lost. It just depends on their willingness to deal with their condition head on.

Yeah, I played that. Didn’t bother me as much as some boss fights though. They clearly didn’t intend for you to fight that robot, so the only option was to sneak around it and I rather enjoy stealth gameplay.
