bulletsponge enemies
Your build is messed up if you’re encountering bullet sponges outside high level or very early level content on very hard difficulty. There’s dozens of builds that can one hit even skull enemies. I play a knife throwing build in my latest play on very hard and the only thing I can’t one tap headshot is bosses and mechs.
- Comment on What are patient gamers thinking about Marvel Rivals ? Looking for a game to replace League of Legends 1 week ago:
Yeah, it’s to keep people from tilting and quitting the game. The bots are easy so if you give someone an easy win after two losses they are more likely to keep playing which raises engagement.
I don’t fuck with that type of business model.
- Comment on What are patient gamers thinking about Marvel Rivals ? Looking for a game to replace League of Legends 1 week ago:
I played for a bit. Then i read an article about them putting you in bot matches if you lose two consecutive matches. Then i tested if it was true and once i confirmed it was i stopped playing.
I don’t mind playing against bots to learn the game if that fact is stated. I do mind being lied to about a game in which i think i’m playing against humans when in reality i’m playing against bots just to keep engagement up.

- Comment on geeksforgeeks.com forcefully google translates it's website based on ip 3 weeks ago:
There are loads of websites that do that.
History.com is the one that pisses me off since I like to read history articles. They always force me to the spanish pages since I’m in colombia and it’s always the homepage, not the page I linked to. So then I have to figure out if there even is a spanish language version of the article which 80% of the time there isn’t.
- Comment on If you can’t discriminate based on age, how are there 55+ neighborhoods? 3 weeks ago:
You can’t discriminate against old people. You can discriminate against young people.
Old age (40+)is the protected class, not young age.

the looming threat that Sony patches in more dependence on a PSN login to give me pause.
Ah, yeah that could be a bummer. I play on PS5 so they already got me.

which makes me hesitant to start Ghost of Tsushima.
I haven’t played the other games you mentioned but GoT is a masterpiece. You should really give at least the first act a try to see if you like it. Pretty much everyone I’ve had try the intro has been hooked.
- Comment on Why do airplanes have big front "headlights"? 4 weeks ago:
So they can flash them to warn the other planes about the air cops hanging out in the clouds. /s
This is what I found with a quick web search:
Planes only fly with headlights on in scenarios that call for it. Those scenarios include flights that take place in crowded air spaces, when flying below 10,000 feet, and upon takeoffs and landings. It’s also common for pilots to turn on the headlights on their aircrafts when changing flight levels, to help increase visibility to other aircrafts, and in emergency circumstances to communicate with personnel on the ground.

But you didn’t drop them and therefore told them via your spending/usage that you’re ok with this 15 hour thing (i don’t use spotify so i don’t know what that is)
- Comment on It's pretty cruel, particularly for non-native English speakers, that 'lose' and 'loose' seemingly switched spellings, meanings and pronunciations with each other when no one was looking 2 months ago:
According to the international phonetic alphabet they’re the same sound.
Here is the IPA for drink: dɹɪŋk
Here is the IPA for jury: d͡ʒʊɹi
Mainly it’s noticeable for spanish speakers because the spanish D is pronounced closer to the english th or is unvoiced depending on where it is in a word.

I’ve had to train my ear because I learned to speak spanish so I notice these things with my friends who are learning english.
The one that broke my mind the other day is that the D in drink is pronounced like a J. My friend was practicing his D sounds and came up with that out of the blue.

Even the second one isn’t pronounced the same. Some accents drop the th sound in clothes which is why they can sound similar.

Having to explain to my spanish speaking friends why an english word is spelled one way but pronounced another entirely different way gave me the same experience. So many times i have to tell them: “i don’t know english is just weird.”
- Comment on For me, Cyberpunk 2077 was uninteractive and has low replayablility value. 2 months ago:
Act 1 is a chore to get through on replay.
Good news is if you have the DLC you can skip the first act. The DLC start puts you in front of the Church in Pacifica after fighting Placide.
I like Cyberpunk a lot but replayability is shallow like you say. Sometimes I just boot it up to punch npcs though. Make a gorilla arms build and go ham. It’s pretty cathartic.

I agree. Let’s also reintroduce thorn and wynn. Digraphs suck.

Mexicans are americans.
Colombians are americans.
Brazilians are americans.
Unitedstates-ians are americans.
It’s funny because spanish doesn’t have this problem. They call the people from the US estadounidenses which basically is unitedstates-ian.

Lets go back to the old way of pronouncing Q also. It’s now pronounced like “coo”.

Calculators are similar to a Dark Souls game.
If that were true then mashing buttons on your calculator would prevent any inputs from being processed for a few seconds.
Fromsoft believes in punishing button-mashers.
- Comment on Having $270 billion dollars and spending the bulk of your time trying to make more money is like weighing 900 pounds and thinking "ooh, I bet I can get to 1000". 2 months ago:
spend all that money in a lifetime
In hundreds of thousands of lifetimes. 1,000,000 per year is a stupid amount of money to live on. If you “only” spent $1,000,000 a year you could live on 250billion for 250,000 years. That isn’t including any interest accrued.

Excessive laxative use is a thing bulimics sometimes do. It will ruin your insides so probably not a good idea.
