While I'm not familiar with the practices of Tai Chi and its history, I am familiar with the stories and mysticism of "inner" martial arts and chi due to my cultural background. I've always been fascinated with martial arts and kung fu, and have recently taken up karate and its cultural histories. I also have a degree in kinesiology and will agree that the human body is such a complex and fascinating subject. The word "chi" or "ki" literally means air or in the context of martial arts, breath, and I will associate it as such. In every martial arts that I've seen, breathing is always a subject in the forefront. But as far as listening to tall tale stories and feats that chi can achieve, I always smile and nod but take it with a grain of salt

Hey I understand where you're coming from. I also believe that's one of the areas the sequel can improve upon. With a bigger team and budget, hopefully we'll get that

I remember playing the first one when it was just available for early access and the gameplay was understandably rough. I played a little bit and then forgotten about until last year when there were some buzz about it again. I brushed off the dust and got to experience such an immersive medieval world. 10/10 in my book

I agree with you that talking is a skill that can be developed. I think it's okay to encounter awkward situations because it's gonna happen and it happens to everyone. Ideally, you learn how to handle or react to those situations eventually, imo. It should also be okay to be quiet too given the appropriate time. Why should there be a need for someone to talk all the time.

Ready to cry and be confused again

I was pretty hyped in the beginning when they revealed the couple of first trailers. A story of the suicide squad taking down an (evil/mind-controlled?) Justice League was interesting and plus it was Rocksteady. Then the details of it being a live service game came out and it just killed all of the hype and hope from me

I finally finished it close to the end of last year and let me tell you, the last few quests were just so bloated. I honestly think the weakest point of the game was towards the end. Not story wise but gameplay wise. It felt like a gauntlet of will to finish

GameCube was the Nokia of the gaming consoles. Actually, it probably still is.

I will not stand for any more Frodo slander. People seem to forget that Frodo carried the Ring like 90% of the entire journey while it slowly draining his life away. Most people either succumb or nearly succumb to the Ring's corruption in a short span of time. And Sam was no exception. Don't get me wrong I love Sam but saying he carried Frodo through the whole thing is like saying the one dude who was in charge of presenting the school project did all of the work.

This looks like the Vegas airport

As a former Floridian, this is definitely triggering my PTSD as they seriously nailed the atmosphere of Vice City (Miami). Curious if the main characters will be as well written as V's were
