Generally, most of the big live service multiplayer games are social status games which is wise and rewards for them are cosmetics that other players can see and not things that only you can see.

We are not hardwired for this because a lot of people like myself never engage with these games at all. And even if we do, we stay as free players the entire time.

I play games for their interactive story content or their novel mechanics not to show all the other players that I have a solid gold machine gun or whatever the fuck.

Like 17 we stay Shoryuken out here like all good Ansatsuken practitioners

We emperors stay ready out here even in our sleep

Most of the list is true for me. All seltzers are disgusting due to the presence of Bitter 2 which makes them undrinkably gross. Diet soda works extremely well and tastes great. Beer, wine, coffee, and unsweetened tea are pretty awful. Savory deliciousness is magnified and a fantastic steak (medium rare to medium) will knock the soul out of my body. Cheese and spicy food is life and I eat spicier stuff than anyone I know. Onion powder and garlic salt are vastly preferable to the actual full vegetable. Dark chocolate is repulsive. Pineapple is godlike, melons are foul. Cucumber smells so bad I will flee a room to avoid it but a pickle spear is decent. Just a window into how my tastes work.

Agreed I am so massively annoyed people use them without listing or literally just dump massive amounts in. Maybe smokers can’t taste them without a dump truck full. Onion powder please.

A lot of people who are super tasters find alliums like onions and garlic incredibly overpowering unless they are in really small amounts.

For future reference, tabletop gaming usually doesn’t refer to board games that usually refers to things like dungeons& dragons, cyberpunk, Pathfinder, and their ilk.

Would love to see more recent data but this is definitely interesting. Not surprised to see people hate the local chengguan

Weirdly I can’t get this to play

Damn also was hoping

This man never been in a taqueria

I chill with the Apaches while they recite unwritten hymns and share a pipe packed with some shit I ain’t ever witnessed.

This shit ain’t nothing to me, man.

I have this, I suspect it’s familial natural short sleep (FNSS). I never need to sleep more than 5 ish hours generally.

Yeah guessing his lawyer advised him lol

Absolutely untrue If you don’t have the spark your ceiling is quite low

I have it for other arenas so I’m not making excuses, I know there are people that will never match me on those arts because they don’t have it. People are different and that’s okay but let’s not pretend everyone can do everything because that’s not really true.

I mean I went and listened to the track. It sounds pretty clearly like that’s what he means

From what I understand, it’s a reference to a hip hop song that got popular on tick tock that has 67 mentioned in it because that is the police code for body found

It’s absolutely true. All you have to do is spend any amount of time around someone that has never drawn before that has the talent and you’ll be just devastated at how good they are on their first attempt. Meanwhile, there are plenty of people that have been drawing for a couple decades that never have been able to make it past crude representations.

There are various levels of talent and it’s possible to maybe become a bad artist by grinding, but you cannot become a good artist with a complete lack of visual art talent. I’m not sure why visual artists are unable to see this until you tell them okay so everyone can sing and then they quickly admit. “Okay, not everybody can sing.”

You are absolutely correct. I have spent a lot of time around adults that can just pick up a brush without any training or whatsoever and do a legitimately good piece of art. Artist mistakenly feel that because they kept grinding that their output is a result of their work alone. However if they are missing that core piece of talent, it doesn’t matter how much they practice. You will never be able to create visual art at the level of someone with the spark.

It’s weird how all visual artists believe that this is true for singers, but never believe it’s true for themselves.

Yeah this is what passes for tech journalism nowadays
