Perfection is like the speed of light: an abstract, something which can never be reached, only striven for. The closer you get, the more energy it takes to get even a tiny bit nearer. And you will never, ever get there.
Perfectionism is paralysis. Be kind to yourself.

What everyone privately wants to be told: "None of your problems are in any way your fault and you're under no obligation to put in any work to make things better."
Validation of that mindset is never a good thing. Everyone has work to do.

The only Ubisoft game I've played in about a decade that was genuinely great. Basically Breath of the Wild minus a lot of the annoyances.

I'd really love to see the term "RPG" in video games die out entirely. It's functionally meaningless, beyond "has stats and you can level up," and that's not what role-playing is. Hell, Telltale games are closer to the actual meaning of the term than basically anything else.

I move that "aynnh" should be accepted as universal onomatopoeic shorthand for "I'ma chew on you until you acknowledge me like you should, motherfucker."

This is obviously for comedic effect, but it's not wrong. If you're preemptively modifying your personality to suit a potential partner, one of two things is happening:
1. They're not right for you.
2. You are hiding your light under a bushel.
The right one will see you and appreciate you for you.

seeking a partner by toning down your eccentricities to become more palatable is a coward's approach. you must make yourself worse & stranger to drive away the weak, the romantic version of bequeathing your haunted mansion to whoever dares spend a night within its walls.

It's interesting how Sifu and Ninja Gaiden 4 rely on similar gaming instincts of timing and placement/distance, but the feel of each is entirely dissimilar.

Spent some time with Sifu and completed the first level. Not without a few deaths along the way, but yeah, this is my jam. I foresee getting wrapped up in this.

The simplest, most immutable truth of the internet: it takes no intelligence to be a troll.
This is why they are so common. For some reason, they are (without exception) eager to tell you how stupid they are.
