I've rarely found a game that had a reasonable balance between crafting and looting. Often the crafting aspect feels like an afterthought, something they decided to tack on at the last minute and gets shoehorned into a game world that isn't balanced for it. That, or crafting is so potent and necessary that actual loot is nothing but trash and reagents, and your progress is gated by needing to build a Mithril Grappling Hook or whatever. Some games try to address this by giving equipment limited durability though that can get tedious too if it is an item that needs to be frequently replaced.

Every single thing about it feels like a regular YouTube video but with less features i.e. no access to the scrub bar I was happy to discover that you can just put a short's video ID into a regular youtube URL (that is, change "shorts/" in the URL into "watch?v=") and you get it on a normal video page, with full player controls and everything.

I have a hard time finding poetry without meter and verse meaningful. At that point I’d rather just read well written prose

Meter, verse, are nice little additions. All good poetry however is just short form prose.

You don't seem to claim that verse or meter are required however? Just that you prefer them.

I suppose I should mention some poetry I enjoy, most lately the album "I Inside The Old Year Dying" by PJ Harvey. *song lyrics are poetry

Every single thing about it feels like a regular YouTube video but with less features i.e. no access to the scrub bar Also they don't show up with the other videos on your subscriptions page, so if you want to watch them you have to seek them out separately. And there's no consensus on what they're for: some channels just put clips cut from longer videos out as shorts but other channels designate any short video a "short" but you'll likely ignore the latter due to the prevalence of the former, or because it's a channel that does a mix of both and you don't want to waste time watching out-of-context clips of stuff you've already seen.

David Fincher makes excellent 3/5 films, it's unfortunate that that is all he's ever made.

Well, David Fincher at least does deliver a pretty solid delivery, even if it's never super great. I think he's a better music video director; my favorite part of Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was the opening credits.

Mindhunter is his best work. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5290382/?ref_=nm_flmg_t_4_dr It's good, recommend you watch it. A look into the history of the FBI and also a drama.

Fincher is he only director to put Jesse Eisenberg's insanely punchable face and repulsive demeanor to good use so he gets at least a 3.5 for that. Also, Zodiac rules and Alien 3 is secretly good

Cameron Britton had a way of talking and moving and suddenly shifting that really got across his size in a deeply unnerving way.

I don't think predictable punchlines are funny. Like, a punchline doesn't have to come out of nowhere and be totally unexpected for me to find it funny, but if I know what the punchline is going to be two words into the joke, then your joke is lame, predictable, or likely just some low-effort variation of some other joke everyone has already heard. Also: Marylin Manson's version of Sweet Dreams is just the same song but without any subtlety or nuance. Good job you weird genius, you revealed that it's sort of a dark song? It's like someone covering Fortunate Son and being like hrrrrur see it's about NOT being a fortunate son Actually a super dark grindy doom metal cover of Fortunate Son would be pretty cool, but not if it fuckin played in movies to subvert the theme or whatever

Wash your mouth with bleach between each beverage / meal. Ideally do the same for each component of a meal as well. E.g. you wouldn't want the tastes of meat and potatoes combining in your mouth.

bullshit has less malicious intent. it's like nonsense. a person might feed you a line of bullshit simply out of ignorance. horseshit is more intentional and deserving of scorn and should be said more emphatically
