standard con tactics.

tell people the story they all want to hear.

sad part is a lot of these people have no critical thinking skills.

thanks for this great insight!

the only thing i knew related with toy sales are ewoks.

green lantern, being a popular show, definitely scaled up the money factor.

yes. but to so as not cause miscommunication problems, maybe keep it to close people who are in the know of what you mean.

some people hate legalese, but after reading the situation, I think legalese is made for this sort of problems.

some people learn by example better than following instructions.

also context plays a lot when it comes to instructions. try to see things ahead if played in different contexts.

to abide by certain rules governing character behavior in order to protect the franchise and consumer products sales.

TIL that superheroes are also obligated to fight against 4rth wall problems

looks like a naming-marketing gimmick.

it is pronounced as “x-zone”.

Google will do the Googling for you.

I would like to know what google will be searching and/or sharing to its 697 partners that value my privacy on my behalf.

Before any googling is done would be great.

there is no to-ask-or-not,

just questions which are treated as they are.

A person needs to be strong to be kind.

… and all that variations of noblesse oblige principles out there.

with that out of the way:

If the most prevalent form of strength is money, like capitalism, then the way to earn it must be through greed.

…the good in humankind…

with greed, no. excessive greed is not good.

… can prevail

especially the prevail part. There’s a few notably strong people not swayed by greed, but it can only go that far. Greed is a really strong force for both incentive and corruption.

this reminded me of that feature with lots of articles about its usefulness:

gut bisect

hard data and proper research

Maybe the answer you expect is not presented in this article?

Or at least the expectation you are presenting is something an exact science would produce?

screenfetch?

Nice pic! The texture of the shell is so clear.

I guess it’s more awe than calm for me.

look at your phone while waiting.

it doesn’t matter if the screen is on or not.

have a sip of water every now and then. now suddenly you look like a busy person!

these combos:

• survival, crafting, roguelike: imagine building a sandcastle in a beach and watching the waves eat it all up. again. and again. and again.

• cinematic, puzzle: aka eye-candy for first minutes, stuck/backseat forever.

• horror, without action: i feel main char is just dumb putting themselves in a compromising situation in the first place.

• sports, managerial: some ai implementations suck. also these are “babysitter” games. be a professional backseater and all that.

having any of these:

• multiplayer: selling a game experience that’s dominantly influenced mostly by other players is not my cup of tea.

• lifestyle: unless that lifestyle is a detective solving mysterious cases, nope.

• jump-and-run: walking simulators, let’s goooo

• “always online”: makes me think it is a phone game. online trackers and data privacy, oh my.

• “escort mission”: technically not a genre, but i haven’t seen one where i finished a stage and i feel proud of myself.

That might be it~ I checked it out on yt and for sure, that scene is very familiar.

The movie definitely knew what they were doing, using the fat leeches and all that.

Thanks for the tip, I’ll try this next time!

• popular sayings like: “get well”, “do not be sad”, “do not be poor~”

  • following up with this, communication will always present a bump or two. it’s not easy to get [all] your points across.

• karaage, IMO. “oh it’s just fried chicken”. fried-dry-chicken is the easy part.

• it always looks easy when pros do it: you see it with that teacher solving that algebra problem, or that guy doing that guitar hero/osu/rhythm game song, models and their drips, mukbang/oogui, porn
