Probably part 2, because it’s got the best evolution of the originals gameplay, without going too crazy deep into mechanics like the later games do.

Alternatively you can apply the Little Brother technique and just let them win more than they lose in whatever “competitive” game y’all are playing.
Just try to do it in a non-obvious way.

Perhaps part of the reason the idea that “a dog’s mouth is cleaner than a human’s mouth” came to be so widely believed is that we don’t typically swap diseases with our dogs when we swap saliva. You are not going to get the flu from a dog kiss, but you might get it from kissing a human loved one.
Most of the bacteria in your dog’s mouth are not zoonotic, which means you probably won’t get a disease from a big old doggy kiss. There are exceptions to this. Dogs that are fed a raw diet are at an increased risk of contracting salmonella, which can be spread to humans, and you really don’t want to share kisses with a dog that regularly raids the litter box.
In other words, kissing your dog is less risky than kissing another human
Good luck out there!

Do you think those things permanently become a part of their mouth or something?
How do you feel about kissing people? Think of the things they’ve done in the past… This doesn’t really hold water.
- Comment on Yum 11 months ago:
Humans actually have more bacteria in their mouths than dogs, and most of the diseases we have aren’t zoonotic amongst each other so you’re actually a higher risk for smooching a human.
The only real risk is if you feed your dog raw chicken or they live with a litter box. So go ahead and kiss up! The world could always use more love, and it’s delightful for both parties!

I agree

Naw their criticisms are extremely fair.
When this thing was first announced it was met with mostly people all over going “what’s the point of this thing, nobody is going to buy such a useless thing when they can just play on their phone or some adapter” etc.
Then when the pre-orders where announced to be selling out, it didn’t shift to “people want this thing”, they just pivoted to “they are just lying to hype it up”
And now that it’s sold out everywhere, they have no choice but to either admit it was wanted and they were wrong, or just keep going with the idea that, no, it’s everyone else that is wrong.

I mean it’s pretty well explained in the movie that there is actually an entire ecosystem of giant life forms living in the center of the planet, and that they sometimes accidentally find tunnels out into our world, duh! -pushes up glasses on face-

Where did it state in the science that this synthetic man made protein is somehow going to escape its purpose and gain a foothold globally?
I think you’re confusing plastic eating bacteria with this, they are two very different things.

Hope I don’t get dragged through the coals but I have to offer a differing opinion for people.
I really didn’t enjoy playing this game. The gun combat felt extremely limited with only two weapons to swap between on the fly.
The abilities were fun and useful and maybe the best part of the gameplay, but not enough to redeem it for me.
The story started out great but really falls flat and felt extremely unsatisfying at the end, to the point I ran around for a few hours thinking I had missed something, until eventually looking it up online to confirm, that yes, that IS where they decided to end it. Felt very incomplete like we were waiting on an extra DLC that never came. (I played the original dlc, to be clear)
The difficulty spikes were frustrating af. You’d be flying through the game no problem and then suddenly encounter a room where the enemies just took 90% of your health like perfect aim snipers from across the room.
The defensive abilities were key to survival, but it still suffered these issues if you just mistimed a single button press.
I loved the setting but hated the map and backtracking. Seriously, worst map of any game I’ve played recently. If your game is going for 3d Metroid, then at least make the map fucking clear.
Eventually a lot of the areas look a ton alike…
Some of the unkillable enemies were just cheesy.
Figuring out the boss fights sometimes felt more annoying than fun, one particular dlc enemy I think, involving lights was super annoying.
The Maze was one of the best things I’ve ever played/experienced, though. Unfortunately that high of a bar just made the rest of the lows for me feel lower.
All in all I’m glad lots of people like or love it, but for me I’d give it a solid 5 out of 10.
So just a heads up, it may not be for everyone.

I don’t remember the numbers precisely, but something like 20 billionaires own $15 trillion of the world’s wealth, so yeah probably would help quite a bit.

- Comment on The games industry sucks 1 year ago:
I guess the “benefit” they serve is to increase the payout % for the people at the top of the ladder and their goal is to do that until the breaking point that some higher up takes the blame and the fall with a golden parachute before landing at another company exactly the same as the last one.
Rinse and repeat until you’re Summering on a yacht? Seems pretty straightforward to me.

The point is to make as much money as possible while paying the workers as little as is possible. Same as it ever was.
They could always pay us more, but we’re just supposed to be happy they aren’t sending the Pinkertons to shoot our women and children anymore, I guess?

Like, what?
I’ll find the source for you if it helps you sleep at night that the veracity of an internet sourced image is from the internet talking about that thing.
