I'm here for a meme time, up votes to the left thanks

  • Found the video Should Games Be Frustrating

    First 8 minutes or so are red dead 2, and explain using frustration to funnel the player places or to do things. I found it some years after I played it, but even then he basically called out how I did my playthrough, which was spooky. Means the manipulation worked lol

  • This was intentional. Micah is antagonistic towards you from the get-go, Dutch begins to turn on you while you start to agree with Arthur (Dutch sounds less reasonable etc) . By the time you get to the island you are meant to be frustrated, tired from trying to "just finish the damn game" and you're stranded with the 4 people you (the player) like the least - right after at least 2 of them bungled the heist in Saint Denis that got you in this mess. All the levels are just shooting gallery type beats to vent your frustration. There was a video on YouTube about emotional manipulation of the player that was a great write-up about this phenomena in RDR2, and why the ending mission American Venom feels so cathartic.

    Edit: I actually found it! "Should Games Be Frustrating". The first 8-9 minutes are largely Red Dead 2 and trails.off with that theme of using frustration to funnel player emotion, so I dont think you need to watch the whole thing.

  • In 1984, it is revealed that the "ministries of" are not ironic nor accidental - they did not become twisted versions of their namesakes. They are so named to intentionally destroy the thing they are named after.

    Ergo, "Ministry of Peace"

  • 🎵I located this meme regarding how much life he has left after this procedure

  • Press R2 to connect your Ubisoft Account for online play!

    but it's a single player game

  • As long as she doesn't let the Wallians out, those crafty fucks know what they did to deserve to be there!

  • I hate working with Medium Screen. I look at Medium Screen so long at work but then I get home and I love having Big Screen on while I scroll for anything entertaining on Little Screen.

  • As long as they dont show up 4 times in a row because you posted the same meme to the top 4 subs type reposting. Who cares who posted it lmao

  • I rev mine (lightly) because my v8 is cold and experiencing morning sickness with fluids - dont have the time to let it idle before leaving in the am.

    I do not want to race you through this light, I do not want to turn first into a new neutral, i do not want to run my rpm so high on freezing cold fluids, but I will absolutely gap your soccervan if you want me to I guess because I will not sit behind your ass as you drive 10 under and then come to a fucking stop to turn into a parking lot in 2 blocks for the school.

  • What of Davenports

  • I don't like it but parents with kids will find anything and everything to get out of trudging 30 blocks on a muddy cold night where 3 out of 10 houses on a lane are even giving candy, listening to a temperamental 5 year old suddenly decide they're bored and its a 30 minute walk home and the temperature is dropping faster than you thought it would?

    Fast forward to 10 years old, they go out with their friends and don't come back an hour later than you said to be home by, because they left their tracker-app phone at home and went to a party you told them not to. Sure parenting plays a part but anyone with kids will tell you those crafty shits will find a way to slip the sturdiest net.

    I see why it took off and had held on. I hand out full size bars and host driveway games - aint spending big money on decor and blowups. My house is the one you WANT to come to. But I can tell you the rest of the neighborhood just shrugs and says "whatever".

  • I know c/fuckcars will be mad to hear this, but Trunk or Treats have taken off for a reason, and I would say are a large reason for Halloween dieoff. Conveniently scheduled to a weekend. (Removes school night problem) During daylight so its both warmer and visibility. (Ending early due to cold or fear of kids getting snatched or bullied for candy). You only really have to decorate your car (decor judgements and TPing people for not decorating) or the venue will have cars of approved people (removes chance of abduction or assault). It removes long walks parents may dislike - and the childhood stigma of shitty/good neighborhoods. AND kids like it because you can go to multiple through the month rather than just ONE night.

  • Hey thanks for the version with the artists name!

  • I wish the person I stole it from hadn't cropped the artists name

  • Bro on rainbow road so he can have the patience for all his drunk friends lol

    (But srs dangerous)

  • I love the way he articulates that everyone wants the glory of killing the demon king, but since everyones chasing the demon king no one has been culling goblins and now theyre almost unchecked and heroes would have no home to return to.

    He's like almost the highest rank adventurer for just being a "gardener" on the home front
