• Shattered Pixel Dungeon. So perfectly balanced and updated regularly, and COMPLETELY free. Also massively addictive for a long time.

• Occidental Heroes. Tricky but fun once you have the knack for it. Equal difficulty to SPD.

• Choice of Games/Hosted Games. These are platforms for publishing text based Choose-Your-Own-Adventure stories. Not all of them are free, but they’re cheap and have huge replayability. Some of their leading CYOA games are the Infinity Saga (not marvel, lol, it’s like a Napoleonic war fantasy theme) and Creme De La Creme.

• I liked Merchant too but it’s a time hog and an idle game so its arguably built just to waste your time.

The worst part would be getting kicked in the balls multiple times at once

Nope, and if i didn’t die of asphyxiation or concussion I’d probably die of blood loss from a vast multitude of cuts and scrapes. Early 20s btw, not even a veteran in getting injured

Chad.

Sometimes people ask me for help with dirdctions and it feels good when i can help them or at least give them a bit of confidence by sticking around trying to help for a few minutes. That’s the first thing that came to mind.

Can happen, especially if exercising a lot.

Oops, sorry, *Danadia. Or Nexico.

Yeah. As far as I can tell, no two languages share an identical Cyrillic alphabet.

Based. Many are saying polish would make more sense in a Cyrillic alphabet. I couldn’t say

Agreed, I don’t think the NPCs are the best thing about the game. What I like best about SDV is that it’s essentially an industrial collectathon game.

If we could get complex conversations in games (e.g an adventure game where you’re not limited to 3 conversation options) I think it would be awesome. Might mean we waste more time playing the game, though.

I have heard of some people experimenting with it, e.g in a stardew valley mod to allow you to have actual conversations with the characters.

I think OP is right to be concerned, because while we don’t have karma like reddit (thank god), supposing someome was browsing old posts in a comm[unity] they might utilise the “Top of all time” filter or even the “most controversial of all time” filter - if our OP here makes a particularly useful post, e.g about a tech support issue - then I’m pretty sure having extra downvotes will actually reduce the reach and visibility of the post, using these filters.

Also in this case it was just useful because it exposes someone acting in bad faith on the fed.

I don’t know but my first assumption would be that thia ia just a symptom of the zoomer ghosting epidemic. Even in a professional context, zoomers a year younger than me have always displayed this incredible inability to respond to important text messages. (Can’t stop grumbling about this to anyone I know LOL)

If you want a really wild explanation consider that, if you’re really not supposed to be there, the police are catfishing for adults who want to date 17 year olds. They see you, check if you’re real, and have no purpoe to caffish you,

Yeah if I’m cooking for myself it’s over too quickly and i have less appetite

I totally agree with this. I prefer to cook for others because the process of serving it out gives a cooldown from standing over the oven and inhaling the food, and so i usually enjoy it more.

See it used for “jam lids” (any jar lid actually, lol) or other packaging because those things can be complex to tell if you’re opening it correctly, so by saying “depress” it tells you to press but then simultaneously describes what happens as it is pressed (it goes down) so you know if you’re getting anywhere in the process. This is why it’s been observed more in technical documents, as rljkeimig notes.

I think it’s used for when something is kept lowered for a bit - so yes, some buttons, but most notably Jam Lids and Levers. Many buttons spring back up at you so those are just presses or taps

Where is anti-hierarchy useful, or “flat-hierarchy”?

Well, basically in all the places you already see it: Small or Medium sized businesses comprised only of very educated professionals, who are therefore better at managing themselves rather than being managed by someone from outside of their field. (E.g engineering designers, graphic designers)

Allotment associations

University departments/colleges. Secondary school departments.

Hierarchies are good to have if

1. they help to organise things more efficiently and
2. the leader is benevolent/interested in the wellbeing of the participants.

Hierarchies can be good if there is real movement up and down a hierarchy according to skill level - a good army for instance does not succumb to nepotism when assigning posts, but Judges only on merit.

Hierarchies and other constraints are useful in politics to ensure that decisions are reached quickly. The Netherlands, which has dozens of small parties and a very level playing field between all of the parties. Had multiple elections within a short time frame and was unable to choose a PM in their last (or penultimate) election.
