  • I also dabbled in the monster hunter wilds beta. It was what I expected and I’ll be happy to play the full version when it’s released. I think I bonked every monster available, both large and small. I tried out the weapons I’m likely to use.

    Gunlance felt ok, light bow gun was interesting but more complicated than I expected. Bow was mostly the same but with some friendly additions. Switch axe ended up being my favorite of the beta. That thing just hits so quickly and wounds to easily that I don’t know if they oops’d the damage on it, or if I was just getting lucky. There were times when I’d break and make wounds in such a way that the monster would be basically stunned for a decently long period of time. If I had been partied up it would have been much too efficient. The other thing about it is the mobility of certain slashes. It took a bit getting used to, but it covers a lot of ground for a heavy blade.

    After all that, I discovered the capture net would give both the insects and their essences, so I ran around hunting for endemic life and found a lot of little critters I otherwise would have missed. There’s a hornet that was endemic but could also poison you!

    And I spent some time fishing. They really changed it up in this one. You need to reel in the line slowly to actually entice the fish to bite. I wasn’t completely comfortable with it at the end of the beta, but it also feels like they’re going to work on it a bit more.

    As for other stuff I played. I continue my usual dedication to a few missions a week in helldivers 2. It’s a very fun game made by some very dedicated folks, and I’m down to blast some things every now and then. I finally got my nerve up to continue playing satisfactory. I usually stop right around coal power because it’s at that point that you can really automate the world… It’s just the amount of math and just waiting on materials to build so you can finally get exponential with your growth. I’m still very much in that stage currently. I need to upscale everything but I’m waiting for materials and to make sure my power situation is handled before I go nuts.

    By that … well let’s call it logic… People shouldn’t ever wear glasses, get surgery, braces, hearing aids, or any of the various other life improving devices that are all to common in todays world… and medicine in general is obviously the work of satan, directly defying gods will of having you be sick sometimes (or for other people)/always.




  • I agree with all points, each of these characters has been fleshed out enough that it’s simple enough to know that Kazuma would take one bad death and instantly NEET himself into a hole as fast as possible… and if anything would somehow get himself in a death softlock where he likely couldn’t progress… but if the story was written in a way where Kazuma was the main protagonist and the various needs to get him moving were placed before him, I believe it’d be many times more enjoyable to watch than the understandably determined Subaru.

    If Kazuma wasn’t able to hole up and was plot railroaded on like it sometimes seems Subaru is, I think he’d figure out the best (quick/painless) ways to reset himself and generally move things along at a better clip.

    More importantly than that though, his understanding of the death system would lead to WAAAAAAY worse checkpoints. He’s not the kind of guy to act with any care given to consequences when he knows that death is a quick reset away from whatever he does. The actual timeline for Kazuma would be cursed to the point that his actions assuming no consequences would probably be the thing to get him softlocked in a horrible ending of constant death.









  • Call in every dude who enters the bathroom. Surely one of them will get you paid and the rest will sure be happy to be checked in whatever barbaric method I’m sure they’ve planned out.

    Stupid laws like this assume that it’s only ‘perverted men’ who want to put on dresses and don’t actually have any thoughts grounded in reality. Every single time a law like this gets enacted it’s the job of everyone to waste as much government funding as possible so they quickly rethink their stupid bigoted schemes.


  • Wanted kids, got married and careered at the right time to fund kids, then wife had a major mental breakdown after funking out of college, developed schizophrenia, and now has the mentality of a kid. Some days a toddler, some days a high schooler. I’ve been the only household income since marriage year 2, and I can’t afford to deal with a pregnancy from that mental state or be basically a single parent afterward.

    I’m considering adoption of teens after I retire and the assumed passing of my wife as she has a small pile of other health issues at this point slowly eating away at her.



  • Things should work in the ways you describe. Sadly they often don’t due to untold decades of lowering funding and general neglect have made the systems we have in place for our most vulnerable slow and bad enough to be worse than useless. They’re actively harmful.

    People who are disabled from birth or before working age are religated to a minimum assistance payment that does in no way meet the basic requirements to live in most places in the United States. Filing for that is a lengthy process that’s often arbitrarily refused and requires even more time and effort put into it for (in many cases) a total payment less than the federal minimum wage monthly.

    This is why you’re seeing a lot of comments about OP getting moved in with family.
