Bruh my youngest brother was teaching my 66 year old mum twitch slang and no joke not joking she asked me this evening whether her cooking was 'poggers'
the way the cooking and small crafting in RDR2 makes you sorta take a break for a moment to do a little upkeep is pretty neat, though it does get a little tedious too Like I'm fine with the time being spent as arthur scratches a +damage rune into his bullets, but was it really too much to give the player a "craft x amount of this" option? At least with bullets you can just hold the button, but with cooking you gotta cook it, stow it, cook another, and hold to cook that one faster too A little bit of streamlining would be nice
really the food is kinda criminal in that way because food just isn't impactful enough to spend the time doing all of that, so it ends up feeling like a noob trap
You kinda gotta make your own fun in RDR2 I mean some of the missions are fun, but the real sauce is in going out into the wilderness cause you really want a 3star puma pelt to craft like, a pouch or whatever. Kind of a big flaw in the game's fundamental construction is you're playing as Arthur Morgan, the world's best gunman, so all the actual action sequences are kinda lackluster. You're brutally overpowered from the moment you get a repeater cause you can line up 7 headshots in a split second Which has the unfortunate effect of making missions involving gunfights the least enjoyable, as they're leaning on the game's weakest mechanic.
>>1153087 My big complaint about that stuff is how wonky and unintuitive the fucking controls are for following the gang during those sequences, honestly. I hold shift and right click to focus on one of the lads to banter with them, which Arthur and his horse interpret as "please walk into him" Having to constantly compensate for stuff like that gets real annoying, almost moreso because it's not actually ALWAYS, it's just usually Sometimes, like during the bison hunt with Charles, holding shift actually softly locks Arthur's horse on a course parallel to Charles, but allows you kinda wiggle a bit before snapping you back into line. It took me way longer than I like to admit to realize that was what was happening, rather than me just screwing up the inputs
Also not a big fan at all of the digital collector's edition or whatever the fuck coming prejacked with end-game gear right at the start of the game Why do I get *the best horse* for free the first time I'm able to access a stable?
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
yea i just wanted to explore the wilderness not follow my horse and listen to them yap about nothing
the hunting too does admittedly get a little... too easy, I guess similar to how everything is in GTA, the world isn't like, 'real' There aren't animals wandering about and sometimes coming to the areas you can mark as hunting spots, they just spawn there in exact numbers and star distributions after you leave and come back Obviously they can't simulate a whole continent of animals, certainly not on what, the PS3? PS4? a console in any case But like, it does take the magic out of it a little when you screw up a clean kill on an animal you want and the immediate thought isn't "well, guess I'll try a different place, I scared everything off and fucked this up", but "guess I'll go over a kilometer or so and come back" Also pretty sure animals have a certain range they're allowed to exist in, and if you lose line of sight on the when they're outside that area, they just despawn
With legendary animals it makes sense they only spawn in once you do the whole song and dance of tracking and baiting and whatnot, but when all animals basically just spawn on approach, it renders bait and stuff meaningless for anything other than those legendary animals, cause you can just leave and come back if you didn't find what you were looking for
S C
All of that said, I do enjoy the game for what it is and kinda just force myself not to exploit that kind of stuff, just like I'm deliberately not touching any of the free stuff I got with the slightly more expensive version of the game And I blame consoles for most of it, really
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
>>1153088 wow really? that's disappointing after all those video essays about how realistic the wildlife is
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
I might try revisiting the game if and when I get a PS5
>>1153090 I mean the animals do have some interactive behaviors Like foxes will sometimes chase rabbits, scavengers will arrive if you leave a dead animal on the ground (though because of the limited range of existence, they arrive really quickly so the player actually gets to see it) and a few other things like that, predators scare your horse But it's necessarily shallow because they cease to exist once you're too far away, meaning all of these interactions have to initiate quickly or you'll never see them, which means you see some of them an awful lot
S C
Oh I think some animals only spawn at night too, at least I got that impression while hunting that godforsaken badger
S C
It's just so disappointing because they put in several little systems to facilitate hunting Granted you use them for the legendaries, but that's like if only mewtwo actually required a pokeball and combat, sorta
i was listening to this lady talk about her job at a New York law firm, specializing in international arbitration. and i was like >damn that sounds so interesting and cool and then she talked about having to work 18 hour days and sleep in her office. and i was like >damn. that's less cool.

>>1153151 seems about real it's a ddifferent layer of cconsciousness that has topological spatial reasoning the conformal mapping of the external eenvironment to our inner manifold is done at the corpora quadrigemina, between the inferior colliculus (audition) and superior colliculus (vision)
but then you have the temporal parietal juncture that incorporates that spatial reasoning into practical storage and awareness of entities in that space, with the obvious help from miss sarah bellum and the pons
then the parahippocampal gyrus is where visual feed turns pattern recognition to identify familiar shapes and forms on that manifold
thr cerebellum does all this stuff subconsciously by actually routing information backwards from the cerebrum it communicates with the pons to strategize an action potential pathway through the cerebrum then uses the reticular formation in the thalamic nuclei to project tcconsciousness and execute
when used this way its called our involuntary system the same things are done when we talk out loud and it pprotects our ears by producing antisound in the tympanic membrane by reading in the phonetic signals from our mandibular nerve and vocal chords
nerve damage in your trigeminal branch or vocal chords can cause this sequence to malfunction and cause you to hear your own voice when you arent saying anything
measuring speech intention is a really cool process dat our brains do

also seeing doppelganger of yourself bbecause you have vertigo and your vvestibular ssystem loses pposition of your own bodys position in space on that cconformal map
they did some testi ng on it with lesions to the tpj temporal parietal juncture
im on the hunt for a career job a jobby job i would like a technical writing job or something in systems analytics but i don't think that's a realistic goal because i have piss poor credentials and stuff

id like to be hired on my creativity, ingenuity, and talent alone despite having no structure or foundation and being self-learned what companies are looking to hire a risky wildcard borderline recluse
time for bed now though hopefully whatever the fuck is wrong with my lung kinda sorts itself out over night, otherwise I gotta get an appointment with the doc to get that looked out cause shit hurts like a motherfucker

>>1153204 uhh, if you don't post anything thiere at least look at the last couple of posts might help maybe, may look into some of the technics (important). neglected repair for too long
one of my friends is gonna try and make me play whorehammer40k

isn't that game more fun to paint than actually to play
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
sorry sorry i'm a cynic man i hope my patio gets pressure washed
S C
guess I'm getting a doc appointment
S C
cool, earliest available appointment is in a month it's really cool how 90% of any given doc's time is spent assuring old people that no, they're not dying, they're just old and have a cough
Anno
the thing is alot can happen in that time and it sux that it can't be within that week when those that really need to be seen for the initial prob what if someone need help and it's serious, they should give a shit, thats an
worst case, my lung's just punctured or something and I die well, I imagine it's nothing actually serious, I'd be feeling worse than pain when I breathe in too much, but it's really fucking annoying that every oncoming sneeze or yawn is stopped short by

a stabbing pain

they have separate stuff for emergencies though, I just dunno if this is an emergency I don't think it is, I think I could go to work tomorrow like this >>1153221 no the connection just scuffed itself
Anno
are you two device faggin or, how is there to post highlighted? or that 218 is glitched after hitting return?
how weird I was under the impression I was staying the night and doing warham tomorrow but instead I'm going home? I'm kind of glad because I was not keen on Warhammer
Erhm No, If you're rolling the dice on your own, it get's played out pretty fast. Being a solo dice roller isn't, or hasn't, really ever been the plan. Better with frens.

>>1153233 It might be, but I did neither I can't get stoned anyway because of my job
you 're probably not dyin' but yea sometimes the health be like that
too bad you can't just roll up to the pharmacy and get a tonic that's half cocaine and half opium or something
S C
yeah unfortunately the strongest OTC painkillers is like, ibux, which is ibuprofen and caffeine Which uh, does nothing for this

man
buying an SD card is so fraught i have one now thats got all this shit written on it like 250 MB/s theres no way this thing is doing reads at that speed or maybe it does it if you have the right reader? i dont know!! on my pc with my shitty usb reader it only does 80 mb/s reads have to wonder if its actually a fakr
apparently like all the cards on amazon are counterfeits i gotta go into a brick and mortar
S C
Ah fuck it just hurts now Like, not an absurd amount, but it's not like, going away
seems to have calmed a little now but I'm still calling them tomorrow about it cause it just suddenly not dying down once I breathe out has me kinda worried

jesus god in heaven, sneezing feels like taking a round of buckshot to the chest

oh shit i had something like that happen a chiropractic was able to fix it for me by using a stretch to loosen up some tight connective tissue bbetween my ribs and diaphragm interstitial fascia i think
S C
of course, severe pain leading to taking heavy breaths is a kinda fucked type of stunlock I'm dealing with at times here too
if I had some alcohol, maybe that'd make me eepy enough and numb the pain enough to kinda override it, but as things are, I don't think sleeping is even an option the bit where it just kinda sticks around as a lasting ache kinda comes and goes, and I can't fall asleep like that
S C
so, solution: Arthur Morgan is gonna hunt some legendary critters
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
if it's that bad then you might wanna take an uber to urgent care that's pretty bad
S C
I mean it's more just too much to fall asleep I'll call in the morning, my dad gets home tomorrow too so if necessary he can drive me
I actually kinda wonder with like, Western stuff The bulk of people portrayed in media about that general area and time of history are portrayed as, well, not so much ignorant as outright stupid, right? Like, ignorant makes sense, obviously they were by today's standards, by and large, not like they had a public education system and like, wikipedia But is education really THAT big a part of general intelligence?
With RDR it makes sense, it's rockstar, rockstar has an approach
I guess overall I do think education has an effect on what's generally considered separate from knowledge, like just how well the machinery operates you know, but I struggle to believe humanity got where it has if the default human is a total simpleton
Not that I have any good reference point there, obviously I've never interacted with someone raised to the standard of a mid1800s american settler
