I did some googling, but I didn’t find much info other than everyone seemed to have different standards back then (this would’ve been the 1960s/1970s).

It also works as a soft control for balance, since those disappearing enemies can’t be farmed to over-level.

That does seem to be the direction the games have been going, and I think it must be an audience patience thing.

Demon Souls is a good example of the level being the main challenge, with the boss at the end as more of a bonus (Flamelurker being an exception). Later games, even Elden Ring, are way more boss focused.

I guess I like both, although now that you mention it, we’ve had a lot of dance move bosses lately, and it would be cool to see a new game go back to the genre’s roots.

I try to find a variety when I can, to keep it interesting.

I suppose they’re better than tarantulas… Ugh

I’ve been slowing them down a little bit, but I am still posting every few days.

I didn’t know what she looked like before this, but I recognized Nathan Fielder and assumed this was acted. Nope!

Apparently she requested his crew to make this documentary, and he even lived with her and her husband for a while to do it. Absolutely insane.

I was also wondering if there was a hidden joke there.

You get dancing penguins either way.

It’s Pants or PantsPants or “The Art of Pants”

Suicide hotlines are very much still a thing, and you typically don’t need any kind of license or degree. I think many are volunteers.

There are also likely outreach programs in your area, if you search for them, and they frequently need volunteers. Helping people to access services is one of the more effective ways to prevent deaths, especially for high-risk populations like: addiction, lgbt, homeless.

If you’re looking to make a (paying) career change for this, there are also entry level jobs in behavioral health at inpatient and outpatient centers.

I feel like this would have been doable on cable in the 90s or early 00s.

Right? I’m sure he expected to immediately be a god at chess with no studying or practice, then got upset when that wasn’t the case.

My theory is that he’s frustrated that he can’t manage a team or pay someone to get better at it for him.

The humility it takes to be a beginner at something is uncomfortable when you have a huge ego.

I don’t know what he has against chess, but this is like the 3rd time I’ve seen him try to convince everyone that it’s pointless because of computers.

Nobody’s perfect

That’s getting pretty serious

Copy that.
