Persona 5 is great and already mixes up the formula in many ways (gun). But many players just don’t care for RPGs regardless.

I think Expedition 33 showed that this is not the case. Guns are a minor change to combat in Persona 5, it felt almost the same as P3R. They should play around with bigger changes.

Sorry, but that’s not an acceptable answer. If you can’t pivot your campaign even though your polling research shows you that individual, divisive topics are causing you to lose, something is broken enough that you definitely shouldn’t have ever been a valid candidate. How can you expect to win against a populist if it takes years to listen to your voters?!

I knew that Harris will lose the second she stepped on stage, was asked how things will change with her, and she answered that nothing will fundamentally change if she’s elected. All while the other candidate keeps telling people that he understands they are hurting, and that he’ll improve everything. I don’t care who was responsible for that strategy - everyone involved should be banned from having influence on another campaign.

The “Harris” campaign was a continuation of Biden’s ongoing campaign under a new candidate. They never had a chance to set their own messaging nor policy priorities.

I don’t see why the campaign being a continuation meant they couldn’t set their own messaging or policy priorities. As far as I know, donations etc. can’t be taken back if a campaign changes policies. Could you explain what you mean here?

Honestly I don’t think it would have made a difference. The Harris campaign made it clear she doesn’t care for her voter base - it’s more important not to step on the Biden administrations’ toes than to properly represent the people and win. What’s the best that could have happened? Harris would have gone on stage with even more Republicans?

They would have found a way to tank it either way.

So, basically In English, Please?

It’s 2028. Somehow there were elections, Trump was voted out, and Democrats have full control.

“As a show of good faith, our first act will be to re-establish the filibuster.”

I played a good 5 hours yesterday, and stayed up a little too late lol. Gotta say, so far it’s great!

Similarly, something being deprecated & something being depreciated.

I’ve started saying “beyond the pale” and “copacetic” after playing Disco Elysium

If our universe requires a being outside it as an origin, why shouldn’t that being itself require another being of even further outside as an origin, and so on?

Regarding The Last Jedi - I agree that it tried something different, and that wasn’t a bad approach. What killed it for me however was the amount of slapstick and Marvel-esque humor. Star Wars always felt like mostly serious movies - sure, there was always goofy stuff like the trash chute monster or Jar Jar, but all in all they had the air of movies that take themselves seriously (probably due to the space opera nature).

TLJ was the first movie where I didn’t feel any of that. The first scene basically took a shit on a beloved character by way of cheap slapstick, and that never stopped.

(different person here)

I can’t give a satisfying explanation, but I can really recommend 3Blue1Brown on YT for great motivations for such things. He presents these topics in ways that make you want to understand them. I’m not sure which videos approach imaginary numbers - there might be standalone ones, but it definitely comes up in his explanation of the Fourier transformation.

I’m sorry, that sucks. As cliche as it sounds, when I was stuck in a similar rut, the biggest positive influence was to try and go outside regularly. Even if it’s just walking through nature for a couple of minutes every other day, it really helped my energy levels and mood.

Stay strong! I hope you find something better.

Please enlighten us, o experienced one

That shit was fire! I learned a bunch of art stuff from it, often I’d make something based on what they show and give it to my grandparents. Awesome stuff.

Though this would have been much easier with streaming - back then I had to try and remember all the important details on first watch, which almost never worked!

Yeah, I soured on the studio when, after the Unity license debacle, they announced they’ll stop selling the game. After a bunch of people panic-bought it, they announced “it was just a joke” and that they were never seriously considering it.

I wrote them an email about this being a scummy tactic, and they told me they had a positive effect on the license change. Sure, deliberately creating FOMO to pump up your sales numbers (especially outside of e.g. the summer sale) is a very effective protest!

At this point, it’s easier to count the prequel lines that haven’t become memes.

Before releasing another Ubi-Flop?
