I have the feeling some people are able to just shut off their minds when running and find it meditative.

Personally, I find it not mindless enough to do that, but also not interesting enough to enjoy being in the moment with it.

Which leaves me bored and unable to distract myself from the general unpleasantness of it. Running, by itself, sucks.

Give me a sport to play though, and I'll keep going for ages.

Play racquetball. I’m always looking for partners.

Putting the wrong screw or dowel in anything will destroy it. Metal will strip. Hardwoods will crack. That's why it's the wrong one.

Why would a too small dowel or screw destroy ikea furniture?

It wouldn't. So your definition of the wrong screw or dowel being the screw or dowel that will destroy the furniture is inaccurate.

Haha. Such classic gripweed. Really good job ignoring the conversation and the original point that was made to try and be pedantic. Really, stellar work. You're still on top of your game.

There is value in measuring yourself, mostly against your old self, but sometimes also with other people. That is different from whatever it was you suggested.

The Resident Evil games got good with 5, that's when they figured out controls that don't suck. 6 was a misfire, but then they pivoted and brought good controls to older style games with the Revelations spinoffs, 7, and the remakes, so it was all gold from there on.

Games tend to look a bit antique as they approach 20 years old, regardless I'll play the 2005 version twice more before playing the remake again

The graphics are fine, the graphics aren't the problem. It's the controls. And there are plenty of 20 year old games that have aged quite well.

They're fuckin dogshit dude. There is a reason that tank controls were universally abandoned as developers got more experience makin 3d games.

The reason is that they're really bad.

I fully disagree, games with them are designed with them in mind, I can't say I've ever even had the slightest hint of an issue with them. They seem quite wildly hated though so I'm not calling you wrong or anything, just saying me, my dad and even my dear mother who beat the first level of tomb raider 1 are all better gaymers than you

The only people who defend tank controls are people who had to get used to them as kids because that's all that was available. Sure you never had a problem with them, because they were all you knew. But they are bad, and that's why they don't put them in games anymore.

Medals only weigh one down.

I want to see two-lever-style tank controls. L1 and R2 move you right, R1 and L2 move you left, 1+1 move you forward, 2+2 move you backward. Left analog stick moves your gun, face buttons to shoot.

This is what playing too much Besiege has done to my brain.

If you put a dowel that’s too small for the hole in the hole, nothing will break but it’s still the wrong dowel. The definition of the wrong dowel is not “the dowel that will break the thing you’re inserting it into”

This seems self evident to me.
