I don't like modular difficulty because it's the devs making me do the work of balancing the game for them.

I choose hard unless it's like rip your dick off hard mode. So if a game has 4 difficulty options I'll go 3.

i still remember when my situation was only having one new/unbeaten game available at a time so i always try to play on the hardest mode to get the 'most' game. i have dropped games where the modes unlock sequentially and you have to beat it like 7 times because im not going to play 6 practice games. but im not suggesting this is normal behavior others should adopt either

I pick easy settings on crpgs because combat usually sucks and I like the story

Yeah this is usually how I do things and I'll just bump it down if I get my rear end kicked early. Dr. Cool Aids posted:usually go normal/medium by default with the recent exception of fire emblem games which have been getting way too easy on normal Three houses normal is a perfect example of why I do this, a lot of the time normal/medium just can't keep me interested for a whole game length.

Famethrowa posted:I pick easy settings on crpgs because combat usually sucks and I like the story yeah the latest pathfinder games are essentially 2 completely different games based on how high you want to take the difficulty. Story mode is fine, pretty easy so long as you don't make the worst possible character builds Up to normal mode, it's a decent challenge, you do want properly built characters, but you don't need to be perfect every single combat with buff timing. Core mode is where it adds extra enemy effects & abilities that can ruin your day if you aren't planning around them, you have to be using most of if not all your abilities to squeeze out the extra damage and defense. Example would be that the game had high level feats for bonuses to mage armor but not regular armor, so the optimal strategy for literally everyone was to take those abilities and use potions of mage armor rather then wearing actual armor. Hard and up, to unfair, is basically just a massive numbers boost to the enemy, and combat is either you kill the enemy in less then 3 rounds, usually with a single attack each time, or you're going to get wiped.

if it's a game genre i dont rlly dabble in like RTS or something i'll opt for easy at least at the start so i can get used to it, otherwise normal difficulty e: some exceptions like FE: 3H of course cuz as someone else mentioned normal is laughably easy symbolic fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Apr 3, 2023 |

I feel like Hades approached modular difficulty in a really thoughtful manner. I do enjoy an easy game though. If I wanted challenges and a sense of accomplishment, real life has more than enough of those. I game for fun and relaxation. Others should seek to enjoy a game how they see fit. Or do whatever. I'm not your dad.

The video essay is called "a child annihilating zipline" so not the same legend. Also the blog link isn't loading  I've read the threads, was more looking for the postscript to the story (if there was one) from some real participants

Thinking about this again and laughing  breadnsucc posted:I watched the video a few times to try to figure out what happened, but you can see that person get assaulted, you can also watch videos of the same poo poo heads confessing to the assault later that same day on camera lmao. Anyways if you watch, you can see exactly when Tiny does get hit, at least one shot hits his ballistic shield and ricochets into his foot. You can see him flinch and the ballistic shield jump and such. You can see that the person doesn't use or move their left arm much after the assault, I'm wondering if they broke it. Identifed by cops because after the shooting he ran a small distance away, changed shirts, and the panopticon caught his dorky tribal tattoo on camera  Then a few days later cops caught him vandalizing a tattoo shop with a spray can and took him in. Also lol at this

I’m not totally unknown on the forums, and I’m literally a black bloc antifa medic from the anarchist jurisdiction. Antifascism is a set of values that I think most people around here hold, and antifa action is anything you do to uphold those values, whether it’s community volunteering, political activism, helping your neighbor instead of calling the cops, or— in my case— providing eye washes and first aid to people assaulted by police and right-wing extremists for protesting. pentyne fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Apr 3, 2023 |

It's one of those crazy things where a ton of people basically out themselves as having never once in their life been around firearms or firearms safety because they kept trying to insist firing into the distance off camera isn't really that bad. There was also the insanely lame attempt to drag TFR into it by bringing up the pumpkin guy, who was literally ran out of TFR after 2-3 posts and told never to come back by pretty much everyone.
