Some games I replay a lot, but always on a fresh save. I think I've finished Dark Souls about 10 times without ever touching NG+.

Notable exceptions are:

  • Nier Automata, although you kind of have to if you want the whole game and it still brought down the experience for me.
  • Chrono Trigger, for the quick kill on Lavos. I did not play much of the NG+.

Who cares? Just like most things your average programmer relies on, they are written by smarter or at least more specialised people to make your job easier. They have learned to write memory-safe code so you don't have to.

Fits in nicely with the recent article about conservative men having trouble dating. Maybe don't antagonize women?

Does it though? There are plenty of countries with legal prostitution and I've never seen any statistics about illegal prostitution being on the rise there.

It's one of those claims both sides could make and actually believe in. There might even be data for both sides, given enough cherry-picking that is.

That should not stop you from trying. You, and everyone else in this thread for that matter, just drop excuses. Either you guys finally start removing some billionaires, I'm all for that, or you start doing the little things. Ideally, just do both.

Just looking on youtube, you can find binaural beats for pretty much anything: inflammation cure, pain relief, changing your eye colour, finding love and becoming rich. All the ones I've looked at feature comments from people claiming they've helped them.

They can't possibly do all of the above and I don't think there a studies proving anything but a placebo effect.

And, without truly believing in them, they never had any effect on me. I've tried them in my youth.

No matter how similar their game might look, without Robert Kurvitz, it won't be a true successor.

On that note, he's written a novel that is related to DE. Entirely in estonian of course, with only fan translations available.

Continuity. Nothing ever matters with comics. Superman was a communist, a nazi, a zombie, a literal god and everything inbetween. But most commonly, he is about the same he was 50 years ago. Meanwhile I've been growing up alongside famous manga characters. I could be following Naruto to this day and he'd be roughly my age at most points.

Variety. I'm not into comics, I admit, but almost every popular comic I've seen is about some kind of superhero. Manga on the other hand have a wide range of topics and target audiences.

Accessibility. I can read a lot of manga right now. Offical, free and online (at least the most recent chapters). There's no such thing for comics. And while we're at it: Manga release at smaller chunks in shorter time intervals, which keeps more attention. Being black and white does help, I'd assume.

Anime. They are mass produced and serve to promote manga. There is no equivalent with comics and extended media like cartoons or movies and such often follow their own storyline. Assuming I'd be into the MCU, there is no single comic I could read to see exactly what's next. If I watch a season of Jujutsu Kaisen, I can look up the correct chapter and continue the story seamlessly.

I don't play actual shooter myself, however, both Pokemon Snap games fit your description - might be worth a shot.

It's a pet peeve of mine, I hate stealth sections. Waiting around just isn't fun and most stealth sections are just that.

However, that was years ago. I haven't encountered one in a long time since I mostly stopped playing AAA games - by now these games are an amalgamation of so many worse design decisions, I almost miss the time stealth sections were my biggest issue.

Seeing the other comments, it might be worth a shot to repost this meme with your math homework thrown in for easy solutions.

Of course, I did the math too before looking.

First, it’s NEVER right for a person or group of people, regardless of position or occupation, to wish for a company’s death.

I disagree on a fundamental level. I stopped reading shortly after that.
