i think i might very much struggle with granite or other hard things.

it's like a mid budget average production quality anime for a manga famed for its action sequences.

a bit like one punch man season 2. not necessarily bad, but certainly disappointing compared to the source.

it's still going, but the anime largely isn't living up to the manga and the hype has already mostly died.

it's not bad, i enjoy it. it's just not incredible either.

there's always handheld gaming pcs being released and going nowhere. the current generation includes the rog Ally and the Lenovo legion.

if you don't follow this stuff religiously you've probably never heard of them, but they are out there. it's just that no one really buys them.

the steam deck is the first successful one, but companies have been trying to make something like this for years.

agreed, though i don't necessarily think animals has a large gender bias.

maybe fuzzy cute animals do, but just appreciated and liking animals and nature docs is pretty gender neutral in my experience.

though i haven't exactly looked up data on that...

haha, that's why I've put almost 10 hours into it.

i suspect most mini games start to show their problems and biases when you spend 10 hours playing then lol. like, gwent was sick, but it really was just about stacking the most strong cards intoa single deck as you could.

caravan though... that was a great damn mini game. the interactive and believable element of needing to go around and collect old world playing cards to build out your deck did a lot to extend the game into the broader world. more than that though, it's a genuinely playable and relatively balanced game. i happened to have a lot of incomplete card decks lying around when i grew up. eventually i repurposed those into one big deck that would get split in half to play with people irl and a randomized deck. only fantasy card game I've ever been able to recreate and play at home without buying anything. and it even played pretty well.

yeah, Rockstar excels at this. red dead 2 had the best crowds and random encounters. it's got me excited for gta6

it's definitely balanced towards giving you better hands.

I've pulled like 8 royal flushes out of it with less than 10 hours spent playing poker in there. I've never even seen a royal flush in other contexts.

the despicable thing they referenced was posting a video mocking their cries and terror as asmr you fuck.

because it feels off balance.

the level of the horizon is a key part of composition. it effects comfort, balance, and groundedness. when the horizon is not level it will feel disorienting, dizzy, or chaotic. yes, you can break compositional rules for artistic effect, but you need to learn the rules and why they matter before you can do so effectively. the example you posted below doesn't really make your case. it's not that great of a photo, rotated or not. to intentionally rotate the horizon to give it an uncomfortable or disorienting feeling is fine if that's the goal hell, maybe it's more to feel otherworldly or any other number of things you can derive from it. the point is that you need a reason and intent behind the unlevel horizon. what feeling were you trying to invoke by not having the ground beneath the feet of the viewer?

i never said they were as bad as America lol. why do you have to go so far out of your way to defend two of three largest and most antagonistic countries in the world. they all suck, splitting hairs about degrees of evil isn't worth the time.

don't be expansionist.

don't be imperialist.

don't hate people for how they were born.

don't antagonize ethnic minorities.

all three countries are failing at more than one of these right now. they all suck.

they really don't need the help either...

i moved to .world from .ml because of the annoying ass tankies. it's not what they were saying that annoyed me it was their attitude. they acted like 14 years olds that just discovered atheism and think everyone else on the Internet is Catholic.

but also, the intense defense is Russia and China was pretty dumb. i get hating America. that's fair and valid, but to do so while pretending that these other imperialistic super powers don't also suck is pure denialism.
