It took me the entire amount of time I spent looking at this before replying to realize this device is a kickboard to learn swimming..

I’m way too old for this meme.

I struggled with those kickboards and only really learned to swim pretending to be a mermaid.

I have the same problem with stuff. Can you, um.. anti-suggest?

Like suggest things I should avoid that hit those same tropes that made bb unwatchable for me..?

Funny, that.. you’ll be shocked by the reason!

This reminds me of a minor plot point from “if I pay thee not in gold”, a book I read many many years ago that helped form some of my moral framework. Imho, go read it, it isn’t -that good- as it’s rather superficial and they could have done a fuckton of more interesting shit with the way that universe works, but it also isn’t that long; couple hundred pages in big font like my copy, and it’s about women with magic! But only conjuration magic. And only women, for very specific, logical, and understandable plot reasons that don’t make a person want to hurl! And it’s largely about personal growth due to sex with demons!

Anyway, because they can conjure things and then dismiss them at will, the poor quarters bars are all conjured alcohol, so if any problems arise they can instantly sober up their patrons.

In hell you use a tv remote with a gyro pointer and on-screen keyboard. And it has a slight, but random, delay.

How do I know this is torture? My partner has one and because it feeds through multiple devices, it has a slight but random delay. And it’s the most frustrating experience of all time. Souls-like games on nightmare are likely less frustrating (and this comes from someone who can’t finish any of them on the lowest difficulty).

I’d go see movies in theaters, but they are too everything for my tastes, for just a movie. And movies haven’t been very good for like a while, so the movie itself isn’t enough of a draw anymore.

Too cold, too loud, too many people, too sticky, too expensive, and too far of a drive.

I used to live near a theater that had a bar and restaurant, and each seat had a table and a little light for placing orders during the movie. It was a great way to spend the afternoon, because the movie tickets themselves were fairly cheap; the draw was the food and alcohol. So we’d get a group of people together and go sit through 3-4 movies in a day, pigging out sharing food and talking between screenings (they only had two screens, and played a variety of stuff). That was worth it.

I feel like the sky islands were meant to be more of a problem-solving adventure, like how to get to certain places that are quite far, but the crafting system was so complicated/poorly implemented, imho, that it made them into a giant pain in the ass.

I ended up just making a platform hot air balloon (three balloons, three pieces of wood, and a fire weapon to light them), and using that for vertical.. was the only thing I could get working consistently that didn’t cost a lot of batteries and flame spitters and shit. That plus the gust ability when you’ve reached as high as the game lets you.. helps a lot..

My chipmunk bladder would like to have a word with your claim that the trips slow down over time..

If left alone, it grows unimaginably large and towering, imposing, shading out smaller things that are useful for diversity and overall system integrity. The only option to prevent the overgrowth and strangulation of positive things is to constantly prune the apathy back before it gets too big. A truly sisyphean undertaking.

I think of it like rain forest canopy trees.

I feel like the solution to this is more Luigi, tbh.

People would be less selfish if they didn’t feel so hopeless.
