I guess I agree with that in certain contexts. I remember my buddy became a real nutrition expert after his diagnosis. Kind of taught us all about balancing carbs and fiber and reducing sugar, etc.

This isn't just stupidity, it's socialist murder.

I enthusiastically concede the point.

Not only do I refuse to engage with unfun min-maxing like this, it will usually cause me to drop the game outright.

If the designers expect you to care about barely noticeable effects then I posit that they don't respect your time, and will absolutely pad the rest of the game out with grindy bullshit.

Exception being if this level of detail is core to enjoying the game and is promoted in this way (for freaks who can tolerate min-maxing).

It's so rare for guys to open up like this. Usually you'll get some little comment about not being OK but if you try to address it directly or even just țry commiserating they'll get uncomfortable and back out of it with some thought terminating cliché like "it is what it is."

Someone actually having a breakdown and opening up about their problems would be so much easier.

I agree. Unless they got very lucky I think the only way they could do Quake 5/2030/whatever is if they gave it the indie treatment, which as vassals of a giant publisher they are unable to do with an important IP.

I recently replayed Quake ii + expansions, too, and it's also its own joined of fun. Hunting for secrets never got old.

A fine for pirating? How awful.

This game looks cool. I had not noticed what you're taking about in previews, but I love when media subtly subverts expectations around beauty or how certain characters should look.

Like I love a "weak" chin, but character designers seem allergic to using anything but the idealised western proportions for that part of the head.

I'm really not following logic
