  • Ahh so when they have like inconsistent durability?

    One scene the super hero slams through walls.

    Next scene, they trip and get injured.

  • I wonder if movies is why people seem to scoff at my mom's allergies. She is "deathly" allergic to Cilantro and Coriander, so more than once people told her stuff like "Don't worry just eat around it" or "we'll put it on the side"

    MAM. Her throat is closing, we are sticking an epi pen, and heading to the hospital if any gets in her mouth. If you can't accommodate her, let her know and we will leave. But it's severe enough that if a lot of fresh cilantro is being used, she has to leave or she'll start having symptoms. Basically if you can clearly smell cilantro, then enough is in the air that she's going to start coughing and wheezing and normally takes 2-3 days of her feeling garbage. Same exact case for my sister who is deathly allergic to red onions.

    I never understood why some people think so little of "My throat will close if I eat this thing", but maybe it's TV where they treat it like lactose intolerance, where it's fine if you just take the meds with it?

    IDK man, but it's tilting.

  • They wanted to hack faster, so they both started typing at once!

    The logic in that TV show would be parody if all they did was have a single character look super confused whenever one of their pseudoscientific plans work flawlessly and is held up in court.

  • I'm just the ultimate Lemmy Meme lord!

    My most upvoted one is this one though:

    But yeah it's always cool when we get so much engagement and every comment is actually unique and not a report bot!

  • "Or any monster chase or fight. If a giant monster chases you it’s faster and instant-kills you. But not in movies."

    Monster: struggles to catch a running humans

    Monster in next scene: catching up with a car pretty easily

    Speed always kills me in things.

  • Plot twist= It started at 8PM and ended at 3 pm.

  • That always killed me! Like... bro, a soft breeze should take him out. He's not ready to be a villain, he's ready to spend 5+ years in rehab.

  • I'd love if in one of those shows it's just implied lightly throughout the entire thing that they are squatting in the home of someone who died and the city never noticed or something stupid like that XD

  • I guess that's what I've been doing, but I just never seem to find things fast enough so spend so long bored between. So guess I either need to learn to find things that are interesting faster, or spread them out.

  • Ooh good point.

    Thinking on which games I've been able to come back to consistently, are ones with lots of replay value or are designed to make new runs.

    Like Stellaris, you start over all the time for different experiencs.

    100 hour rpgs where every play through is identical? Never been able to replay those.

  • I actually just watched that video!

    And yeah I'm basically wondering if I need to force myself to try and order different things off it to try to keep myself from burning things I like.

  • I mean lots of things are ADHD things, that alone are completely normal! It's usually the combination or severity of things that lead to something being considered that needs treatment.

    If you find that you are struggling to take care of responsibilities or enjoy life, I always suggest talking to doctor/counselors. Could be ADHD, could be need coping mechanism, could be something else. IDK. But life should be enjoyed and doing adult responsibilities shouldn't feel like ripping out finger nails (so I've been told)

  • Haha yeah that's how I am most of the time. But occasionally I get the FOCUS on a thing and feel the urge to finish the thing RIGHT NOW.

  • Only 300? XD

    That game is nothing but grind after like 20 hours.

  • That makes sense! The list of dark games probably is most helpful to be like "here's a list of games made to be addictive, what features that we spoke about are present in the games on this list?"

  • 100%, it's why I'm more pulled towards RTS games these days.

    Like to "catch up" and compete in say a card game... you have to spend money. They are not designed for you to catch up on time.

    An rts though? I can catch up to most of the folks if I want to.

  • I mean, games without memory didn't. Because once you turned off the game, it was all gone. This is more referring to if you have spent $200 on a game, and have like special event stuff in it, you'll struggle to give it up.

    But again, this is all part of bigger pictures. If it has this + grinding + time lock things + micro transactions it's a problem. Games with just a couple of the features still have a high score of like 3+ and will be good games. Some of the things it asks about are only problems paired with other mechanics, while some categories are by themselves enough to be a problem.

  • Haha good call out, but yeah I play this way on purpose and jump from freemium game to freemium game. I've gotten pretty good at jumping as soon as it feels like money is the only way to make progress, but to be clear I used to not be good at it and have wasted a few hundred dollars on stupid p2w games. I really want to try to stick to these nicer games now that I have a cool website to help me find them.

  • Oof yeah I sometimes get drawn into idle games. It's weird to be pulled into those, because just the constant feeling of accomplishing something short circuits my brain, combined with "Oh I should check in on my game once a day, or I'm not accomplishing things". Usually once I stop playing for a few days I go "oh, why did I care?" But it feels real bad in the mean time.
