I was going to say Auron. He’s my favorite.

To be clear, they are not intending on creating new games based on Olympic events. They are talking about incorporating esports into the Olympics somehow.

Please tell us the exact model of wire strippers. If there’s something better, I would love to try it.

I love commentary and streaming services almost never have it. That’s the biggest loss.

I was thinking about trying it. I’ve always wanted to like Pokemon, but every video of it I’ve watched just makes it seem incredibly childish with the most boring combat system I’ve ever seen.

But, I like the idea of collecting Pokemon and needing to really search to complete a collection. But, I just can’t get past the apparently boring combat.

This cassette theme seems interesting, but is the combat interesting at all?

From the article:

“Our technology can be thought of as ‘indirect air capture’ because the ocean will take more carbon dioxide out of the air above it to replace the carbon dioxide that we’re removing.” Hornbostel said.

It is absolutely ai. The experience of talking with chatgpt is so human like that it just blows my mind. What I’ve learned so far is that human brains aren’t nearly as magical as they seem.

The Google response seems to agree with you, but this Berkeley study says the opposite:

Play different games. Walkabout golf is a fantastic multiplayer game. I consider it the killer app. My family plays it regularly.

I wish they’d focus more on releasing VR board games. My family and friends are scattered around the world and VR is fantastic for playing board games with them if only they’d release them.

If the only thing you like playing is FPS games then I guess VR isn’t for you though.

So, the train just plows into the water and keeps on going?

Can you not just visit with him outside on some lawn chairs? Or does the outside smell as well?

Is this really a painting? It looks so real!

Uplifting news that isn’t boring (Bob did well in school his whole life.) and doesn’t imply bad things happening (the community came together to save Jill from a life in the slave pits of Hoth) is actually a challenge.

What would be an example that was interesting with no negative connotations? Maybe news of scientific and engineering breakthroughs? Children who rise above a good but boring life?

Dark Souls II I am really enjoying it. I think this is my new 2nd favorite souls game after DS1.

I play Switch games while on my treadmill. The split controller works perfectly for that and makes it easy to forget I’m walking.

I only play inverted x and y, but I’m thinking of learning to play both non inverted since it seems to be supported universally, so I wouldn’t need to worry about it.

That said, I never understood why every modern game wouldn’t support both being configurable.

I initially assumed “cozy” meant it would be a casual phone game which obviously would suck. But it’s a Steam and console game, so I’m excited!

If I so much as see a daily reward or a separate currency or an in game store, it gets uninstalled. Those things are guarantees that it sucks.

Everything in this thread so far is normal stuff I could have guessed. Guns, metric, tipping, etc. Most of it has large groups of people in the country that agree, or at least know.

What are some non-obvious things? Culture shock isn’t about major political issues. It’s about universal things that turn out to not be universal.

For example, US people have a strong culture of how standing in line works. It’s basically a moral sin to butt in line unless you have someone holding your place. This is universal in the country. My understanding is that other countries differ. Is that true?

I assumed it was intentional.
