More than I’d care to admit.

Chairs. You can sit on the ground or on a mat by a low table, as many people have done for centuries.

Without much velocity/pressure from the barrel, the pellets are only getting propelled from the primer alone. This short would throw the pellets in a wide area but it would likely be Nerf gun ranges.

Its more about the velocity. A barrel is needed to ‘shoot’ a shell. If you took a shotgun shell and hit a hammer onto the primer to set it off, well it would be a mess of pellets, but it wouldn’t fire with lethal velocity.

I’m actually going to be ignorant here but I don’t really know what’s up with the bunny ears and maid dresses. I presumed it was a fetish but I never really looked into it.

I’m no expert but as I understand it, a longer barrel adds more velocity/pressure to a firearm. Cutting a barrel that short would probably put the velocity in the range of ‘kind of sucks’.

NAL but I don’t think this is illegal, though it is a pretty large red flag that you’re going to get lowballed.

Similar here - The grip League of Legends has on people is terrifying.

I got a handful of houseplants that I’ve kept alive for years (one close to a decade) and I’m not sure its really done anything for me.

I initially read this as ellie-fien-no and missed the joke until I reread it.

This little drummer boy who would just NOT stop playing

343/Microsoft should have let Bungie’s “ending” for Master Chief stay - Where chief saves earth but gets put into indefinite cryo as he is forever lost in space.

It would have put him full circle (as he was a superweapon waiting in cryo when the series started) and it would put him into a state not unlike the halos themselves, which I think was Bungie’s intent.

There are a lot of stories and things to explore within Halo’s universe and I would like to see more of those than bad-guy-of-the-week that Chief has to stop.

This is likely not the case but I feel obligated to note that if you use Steam’s Proton and store games on an NTFS drive, its given me quirky problems in the past.

Mine was day ~75.

The RNG finally started to loosen its grip around day 60 because it started giving me items and rooms I had never seen before that, as it turns out, were pretty essential.

The RNG beat me up too. I will say that there’s a handful of permanent upgrades that either allow you to mitigate some RNG or give you buffs so you’re not as reliant on it.

I think their goal was to make it so you’re not hardlocked on a single puzzle so that you kind of wander into the manor without a specific puzzle to solve and see what you can solve/find as your tools for that run expand.

This kind of makes hours 0-10 kind of miserable because you don’t know what puzzles there are and you don’t have much you can do to avoid RNG so you’re just wandering and hoping for the best, but it does get better after that point.

Plastic and social media.

No - Its a vision or something where she sees herself if she gave in to the dark side.

I think its (usually) a bad idea in that its very hard to outdo the original. Often times games don’t quite nail what makes the original work and changes to the formula usually aren’t consequential enough to matter. Sometimes its great for a stagnant or platform locked genre though.

I consider a game a ‘rip-off’ if it blindly follows mechanics or the art style in an attempt to get the player to buy in thinking its whatever game its trying to copy. That is you’re not trying to sell it based on what it does differently or the game itself, but merely piggybacking another game’s design and marketing.

Games that are inspired by other games, even if they are pretty similar, are totally OK. (Stardew Valley or Lords of the Fallen for example)

There’s a place that sells a 44 ounce iced coffee which is great if you need an action surge and/or second wind without getting a long rest.

What games are you into then?

I find when people don’t like any of what AAA has to offer, its usually because they’ve found a subgenre or niche that is extremely their jam, and the big budget games usually aren’t aiming at that market.
