beating breath of the wild in under 40 minutes is an incredible feat and also fucking excellent in the context of the game. ganon spends 100 fucking years preparing this onslaught, building energy, getting ready to tear the world apart, and one elf twink wakes up butt-ass naked in a cave and legs it to the castle and kicks ganon’s ass apart in under an hour with a sword he found along the way
poking at it with a fork to ascertain the flexibility and chewiness
considering its similarities to other foods I’ve disliked
considering its differences from other foods I’ve liked
knowing that there is an ingredient in it that I hate
trying to chop it with a knife and feeling the gristliness and hearing that telltale horrible creaking noise of gristle and noping right out of that situation
this is how humans naturally decided whether or not to eat unfamiliar foods in the wild thousands of years ago
our senses interact with each other to protect us, so your nose alerts you to an incoming bad taste before you put it in your mouth so you don’t end up eating the bad thing and dying
Once you realise that a game’s worth is not in its perfection, but in your ownenjoyment level, then you’re going to have a lot more fun playing video games
Ok, this goes into some research I read on the different types of gamers.
They are:
Killers- Think your competitive types, they’re going to be playing games like Modern Warfare, Halo, and other competitive games. They get enjoyment by winning over their opponent.
Achievers- Going for the 100% route, trying to get the high score, etc. Think any game with increasing difficulty and esoteric achievements. They play games to try to achieve perfection within the game.
Explorers- They just want to explore the game- think more storytelling or immersive experiences, etc. They enjoy gaming because it allows them to escape and engage in a world and really take it all in.
Socializers- Found more in MMOs, where there can be real community building, they play games to meet and work with other people.
Killers and Achievers tend to be a lot holier than thou, but they’re all valid, so long as you’re having fun in your own way.
This is by far the best addition to this post, thank you for the analysis! I honestly didnt know about these different types, it’s really interesting!
so, our sex ed program has been repealed, apparently. we’re using the old curriculum again.
the thing is, it’s from 1998. kind of really outdated – especially in regards to like, not being a straight or cis person. sexuality and gender identity isn’t included in this curriculum at all, as far as i can remember. i think they mentioned potentially being gay in passing in high school, somewhere in the ‘you’re too young to know what being asexual means!’ lesson. but overall it was kind of useless to me, because it was outdated and didn’t cover a lot of issues that people face these days. apparently they aren’t even teaching kids about consent for fear of them ‘partaking in sexual activity’ or something like that.
so, as someone who went through the old system and found it useless, and who was overjoyed at the 2016 revision: go fuck yourself, ford.
and to all the kids who are like me: i’m sorry you won’t get the lessons you need and deserve. i’m sorry you’re going to be taught outdated stuff like it’s fact. take everything with a grain of salt and do your own research (which is honestly good advice for anything). i hope you can still get those lessons somehow, even though the government and the education system has failed you.
For whatever reason, this post isn’t appearing in any of the tags I put on it? I don’t know why.
Literally every tavern or inn in skyrim needs to be on kitchen nightmares
They’re all just huge health code violations and I can just hear Gordon Ramsey yelling “YOU CAN’T PUT FUCKING RAW LEGS OF GOATS IN THE SAME SACK AS TOMATOES AND ROASTED PHEASANT YOU FUCKING IDIOT NORD SHIT”
First of all, they’re cured meats
“RAW LEG OF GOAT is cured?? Thats fucking News to me!” -Gordon Ramsey again
Thinking about corporal punishment from a completely scientific point (besides the moral fact that you’re hurting children) you’re fucking stupid if you use corporal punishment because of the long term effects of cortesol (released under stress) are known to harm the body. You’re not only causing immediate harm through fear and pain but also affecting your child’s health on a long-term scale.
The intended lesson from spanking and other forms of this is to encite a fear response from a recollection of the last time they acted out. On the opposite side, positive reinforcement and redirection is intended to essentially overwrite the negative behavior with positive habits.
Corporal punishment also is the lazy parent’s way of avoiding any real education on child development, basic communication and mutual respect with their child. If you can’t even use “please” and “thank you” with your own child, why are you surprised when they defy you and don’t automatically consider your viewpoint before acting out? 🤔
