I don't mean any offense, but if you're saying traditional mobas are too fast paced for you, how do you expect to keep up in a moba style arena shooter? I've got tons of experience in both Dota and overwatch and without a doubt, overwatch is so much more taxing. As I get older, I've had to stray away from shooters altogether because I simply can't operate fast enough, yet I still have no issues with the most hectic Dota teamfights. It doesn't seem to be in the same ballpark to me

Take it from someone who knows vegetarian eating, this is a dangerously low amount of protein, and no those cheese slices do not cover it. I'd wager your daily protein macro is a single digit percentage (most sources suggest around 15-35% depending on exercise and lifestyle and all that). If this haul is your entire diet for the week and you're not leaving out stuff you already have at home or something, I would strongly advise looking for more protein dense foods before protein deficiency starts to affect your well being. I've been there and it's really not good.

The current state of capitalism will ensure the second line never sees the light of day

Yeah lemme get a hit of what you're smoking... I would argue modern games have a heavy over saturation of ridiculously colorful games. Look at the popular titles of like every major genre within the last few years and tell me that's not the case.

Shooters- Fortnite, Valorant, Apex, The finals, Splatoon (cod being the only major shooter with a drab palette)

Car/Racing- Mario kart, Forza, rocket league, that one game everyone overlays on TikTok videos with the crazy winding tracks

Fighting- Street fighter, Tekken, MK, Smash, Guilty gear (all very colorful or at least significantly more colorful than the previous iterations)

Indies- Hades, hollow knight, cult of the lamb, pizza tower, stardew valley, undertale, subnautica, vampire survivors, ori

Pandemic hits everyone obsessed over, among us and fall guys.

Marvel snap is the biggest entry into the card game market, which has been dominated by none other than Hearthstone for a while now.

The only genre I can think of that doesn't have an excess of color is rpg's, with the new Zeldas, baldur's gate 3, starfield, elden ring, last of us, etc being a bit neutral, (still not dull by any means) but even with that being said things like spider man, palworld, and cyberpunk exist.

Anyway, yeah this list got a lot longer than I planned but I think it illustrates my point.

Saddest day of my childhood was halfway through middle school when they switched from the classic red waffles you see here to these sponge "safety" dodgeballs, because the school board was afraid of kids getting injured. They were so light you couldn't get any speed behind your throws and when they hit you if felt like nothing more than a sharp gust of wind. I've never been the same since

If anyone is actually curious they're just salt&black pepper, with kinda black carbon to make the chips look black

I truly hope the anti video game nuts start attacking true crime docs now with the same passion they've had for call of duty and gta for the last 20+ years

I'd love to see what a liberal asshole politician would look like, but i can't see it working out today. As much as the right blows wokeism out of proportion, PC culture is still a thing in a lot of liberal areas, and if you're not PC as a liberal politician I imagine you'll offend the more sensitive parts of your own base. Didn't Bernie Sanders get hit with some of that? And he wasn't even that assholeish, he just showed a spine.

Yeah this is great if you work at an honest company, but it could also cause a lot of side effects in shitty companies. Management will start underreporting on cases or even sweeping them under the rug to save their bottom line, potentially causing more outbreaks by not telling close contacts they might be infected which lets them spread it even more. Plus the whole "must be proven it was contracted at work" sounds like there's a lot of room for fuckery.

Maybe there's a degree of truth to this, but the issue doesn't only apply to Gen Z... I've had plenty of overgrown children in their 40s and 50s lose their shit in the workplace when the slightest bit of pushback comes up about anything. I'd say this is more of a general communication skills problem these days

I say this too, not as an engineer, but when reading the self important downers in battle forums saying a giant chicken wouldn't beat a lion only because of this stupid law, instead of just entertaining the idea
