Hypnotics regression absolutely 100% does not work. You’re creating false memories, which is incredibly easy to do. Human memory is very, very, very fallible. This nonsense is exactly what triggered the satanic panic in the 70s, where there was a sudden proliferation of stories of childhood ritual abuse all coming from this kind of hypnotic regression, and every single one turned out to be complete fabrications from the subjects being hypnotized.
Don’t know why the headline is so shitty, but the “mmo” seems to be a splatoon-like multiplayer game unrelated to pokemon.
Well that is my argument, we hit diminishing returns this generation, and further upgrades are a waste of money.
If you have anything relevant to add, it’s certainly welcome, but ignoring context to try to make my point sound worse is just wasting both our time.
I’m confused why you seem like you’re arguing with me but still fundamentally making the same point. Those improvements don’t inherently make games more fun, but they create opportunities for variety and new elements to the medium. It was previous tech improvements that made Halo and F.E.A.R. possible, that’s exactly what I’m talking about.
But processing power isn’t really a relevant limitation to game design anymore. I genuinely don’t see any future console generations being particularly enticing for me, outside an upgrade to my steam deck, especially when most of what I play is 5-20 years old anyway.
I have to assume you’re too young to remember previous generations.
Increased power makes a difference up to a point, but we’re now so far into diminishing returns you can hardly tell the difference between a ps4 game and the ps5 ‘enhanced’ if you don’t have a 4k TV.
Increased computing power used to open up entirely new concepts in gaming. 3D environments, then larger and larger worlds, dynamic physics engines, more complex NPC Ai and more power to run larger numbers of enemies at a time.
Now, it hardly matters. There’s more than enough power to do pretty much anything you want. Unlimited worlds, thousands of NPCs, photorealistic graphics, and absolutely nothing new. It can always be ‘bigger and better’ but at what point does that stop mattering? For me, it was last console generation.
Nah, better lighting doesn’t do a damn thing to make a game more fun. The only notable difference that even matters is better load times.
Yeah, I’m hoping they finally figure out the tutorial balance in Wilds. Earlier games had next to nothing for tutorials, and you pretty much had to look outside the game to even understand the basic movesets of the weapons, much less how things like skills work. I think they overcorrected with the recent ones though, it’d be nice if they could get a little better about introducing information in the world instead of constantly stopping the action to make sure the player sees it.
But yeah, absolutely do not use the OP armor, you’ll only ruin your fun and then have a really hard time once you get to the real fights. The main reason to use it would be to power through low rank if you’ve done it on another platform or something.
Are you seriously complaining about requiring a signature? Why should weed paraphernalia be treated any differently to tobacco?
“Attachment” is not the same as connection. The concept the Jedi are talking about is the Buddhist idea of attachment. It’s possessiveness, codependency, fear of loss. One cannot be fully connected to anything they’re attached to.
You’ve been misled by the Sith propaganda my friend.
No remake is ever truly dead.
It’s literally just an ad on the Xbox page, I don’t know why there would be any credibility to begin with.
They’re interrelated, and important to talk about together in this context. Sometimes it’s more useful to look at what the asker is trying to accomplish than simply answering exactly what was asked.
No is arguing otherwise.
One paper does not make a “fact”. Years of established research and widespread consensus barely justifies labeling a subject as a “fact”.
Have you already forgotten the room temperature superconductor claims from last year?
Let me be absolutely clear. I am in no way trying to discredit this paper. I see no reason to question their findings, it’s good science and absolutely should be followed up on. However, I take strong exception to people jumping on any half decent study and treating it as gospel.
Holy fuck what a stupid response.
Here’s some recommended reading, hope it helps: https://kids.kiddle.co/Hypothesis
One published paper is never sufficient to claim anything as fact. To suggest otherwise is purely ignorance.
That is absolutely antithetical to the scientific process. Nothing is considered ‘fact’ until rigorously proven. This is interesting evidence that absolutely warrants criticism.
Yeah, that one is real competition - at least gameplay wise - and a wonderful example of taking inspiration from Pokemon while still making something their own. It really deserves more attention than it got.
I mean, it’s more competition for ARK than Pokemon. I doubt Game Freak learns anything from all this unfortunately.
Some of us are just here because they killed our app. Don’t assume everyone is here for the same ‘moral’ reasons you are.
We’re talking about memory recall, not mind control. Memories are fundamentally unreliable and are very easy to influence, intentionally or not.
