I thought it was good after I turned the difficulty down to easy. I finished 2 playthroughs of the original on ultra-hard, so I dunno why but the combat was just not fun at all.

Not sure why you had trouble seeing things, I thought everything was pretty clear, only 1 or 2 times where I got lost on where to go next.

Honestly I went in hoping for more of the first game which is probably why I ended up disappointed in some aspects.

I mean why would you invest in primer/ammo production capacity when you just said demand only spikes temporarily and for no good reason?

[–] RustCat@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Same TBH. Sometimes I just go on regexr and put in data to see what I can come up with.

Yeah, I think I definitely agree with what you've said.

I still assert that people seem to care more about the risk of LGBTQ+ people being killed "close to home" versus them actually being killed in foreign conflicts; however I suspect the reason is probably because the ones "close to home" are white.

I don't even think you need to believe in hierarchy of marginalized people, all you need is to not want to see killing happen at home because it's icky up close and all of a sudden it makes a lot of sense.

Maybe I'm wrong but I came to this conclusion because it seems people don't care (or at least don't care as strongly) if LGBTQ+ people are killed in oversees conflicts, but care a lot about the idea it might happen in their country.

Isn't being under-budget usually considered a positive?

Black and Hispanic still support Biden more than Trump no matter how much they've voted.

No surprise here that good ole' whitey is the problem. Honestly this feels like a bit of a self-own.

Assuming you aren't going hiking in some remote place where you could end up somewhere with shitty sky visibility (for GNSS satellites), it's pretty hard not to get a decent position. Even cheap GNSS receivers can get like 1.2m RMS positioning with just 1 band.

I can really only speculate, but my running theory (and I must emphasize, I am really pulling this out of my ass), is that the location updating stuff doesn't trigger while your phone isn't being used (i.e. you leave your phone in your bag all day, it doesn't do much location updating, but if you are browsing Hexbear on it all day, it updates more frequently).

The reason I think this is because I've noticed on days I've been really busy at work, my shared location doesn't seem to get updated as much (not that it matters given I'm in the same place). Honestly power settings and if apps can run in the background seems to be very inconsistent across different phones and I swear it doesn't work 90% of the time so I might just be seeing patterns that don't exist.

I think you might be right, but honestly it felt like the whole point of the story was that people and relationships are the most important thing in life, which was demonstrated when Edward gives up his alchemy for his brother.

Perhaps the whole redeemed evil empire was just an accident born from wanting the state to be kind of obvious bad guys, but needing a storybook happyish ending. At least most of the alchemists who participated in the genocide seem to be very disgusted with their actions and seem to actively suffer from it.

I have shared location on maps and it only reports back sometimes, like you might see that the last reported location is 20 minutes old or something. Also I don't think they only use GPS these days, I think its that, but also local wireless networks, and location data based on your daily habits (i.e. you go to work every day, so if we see your work wifi, you're probably at work). All of this put together doesn't really kill battery life anymore.

What's the problem with the diabetes drug? Is it just because the fat person didn't ask? Also damn, I feel awful for people who have these kinds of doctors, I feel lucky cause I've never had to deal with a doctor like that.

Not that I disagree, but in my experience, the little displays that tell you what you're ordering (and how much it costs) are rarely used, and the worker on the other side often doesn't tell you how much it is until you get to the window to pay. So if you frequent a place often and already have a rough estimation of how much something is gonna cost (i.e. "I buy this meal at lunch every day" or whatever), and then you find out its twice as expensive, you run into the exact problem I've suggested.

You're definitely right about it slowing everything down though, and most drive-throughs get clogged very easily.
