Gritted teeth optimism

Jokes are funny, I am not.

Edit: funny bit of philosophy moment, but I saw the down voter and started to ask myself if that means someone disagrees, and that I am funny, or that they just don’t like what I said, and thereby agree I am not funny. It weighs heavily that I do not understand.

With the red he reminds me of a crab rangoon.

“Feed the troops”

“If youre gonna go on a long march, give them shoes”

“If the terrain is shitty for you and not the opponent, your soldiers are not gods chosen like you are and will lose”

“If the terrain is shitty for the opponent, but not you, they are not gods chosen like their general, and you should attack”

“Maybe making nobility your military leadership isn’t always a smart idea - give them advisors and then tell them to listen to the advisors.”

Truly revolutionary literature

Legit top tier condiment that has supplanted mayonnaise and like half of the us doesnt even know it.

Oh is the swirl an O? I guess thatmakes sense i always read it as K-lanaki like a space or something idk

Beep boop

How do you do, fello bot

Me too unfortunately…

…where we dropping.

Yeah its been awhile since I’ve seen American Dad.

Is…is Bullock based on Mueller? I guess I never actually looked deeper into the McFarlane parody twins than just the surface plots

Wow certainly one of the maps!

She recently passed away too. Its interesting to see that the town get more popular as a result of it and she became a mini-celebrity despite the outcry of hate for the new painting by the international community.

Truly inclusion minded. Everyone is welcome as long as they’re smoking a meatpipe

Found the video Should Games Be Frustrating

First 8 minutes or so are red dead 2, and explain using frustration to funnel the player places or to do things. I found it some years after I played it, but even then he basically called out how I did my playthrough, which was spooky. Means the manipulation worked lol

This was intentional. Micah is antagonistic towards you from the get-go, Dutch begins to turn on you while you start to agree with Arthur (Dutch sounds less reasonable etc) . By the time you get to the island you are meant to be frustrated, tired from trying to “just finish the damn game” and you’re stranded with the 4 people you (the player) like the least - right after at least 2 of them bungled the heist in Saint Denis that got you in this mess. All the levels are just shooting gallery type beats to vent your frustration. There was a video on YouTube about emotional manipulation of the player that was a great write-up about this phenomena in RDR2, and why the ending mission American Venom feels so cathartic.

Edit: I actually found it! “Should Games Be Frustrating”. The first 8-9 minutes are largely Red Dead 2 and trails.off with that theme of using frustration to funnel player emotion, so I dont think you need to watch the whole thing.

3pm is higher than today’s High. Weather man cant even get that right
