This is exactly the feeling I had when I played Assassin's Creed and picked up a flag that said "1/100". That happened multiple times, since there are 400 flags in the game. And what do you get? Absolutely nothing but an achievement.

I hold Mario Odyssey up as a shining example of how to make large optional objectives fun. You don't really get much of a reward for getting all 999 moons, but at least the vast majority of them have fun puzzles to solve so that it's actually rewarding to collect them. Contrast this with, say, Korok seeds.

Potato salad is fucking amazing and I will die on this hill

Something about the phrasing "you should do a lot of cocaine about it" really tickles me. I wonder what you call breaking grammar rules for humor like that.

Sync, I'll be sure to let them know. Thanks!

Weird, I did format it that way but it doesn't seem to stick on editing

I mean, it's kind of a tired joke at this point for women to be treated as these complicated, enigmatic creatures when 90% of the communication issues could be solved by, you know, talking to us.

I had someone with a super long scarf play basically the entire second half of the game with me. So fun to find ways to communicate with just the little pulses we had.

!Also absolutely heartbreaking when wet froze together at the end!<

I also played their other game Flower, on the PS3. Probably the only time I've enjoyed using motion controls on that system.

I've also used hacker keyboard to ctrl+c/ctrl+v when apps block the regular context copy/paste actions, pretty handy.

I think it's just the overwhelming stupidity. The covid stuff I can kinda understand because it was a scary and uncertain time. And maybe, to a point, I had kind of just accepted that the antivax "movement" had gained a twisted sort of legitimacy in some people's eyes purely because it has been around so long.

But this... this is just beyond dumb. Dollars to donuts these people have been drinking pasteurized milk their entire lives and never had an issue. Missing vitamins? Take a multivitamin and have more than your body knows what to do with. Want probiotics? Eat yogurt!

I also just read that Louisiana might approve milk for pet consumption and that's just so god damn sad. It's one thing to spew from both ends due to your own stupidity, but quite another to inflict that stupidity on creatures who have no choice but to rely on you for their health and comfort.

Also if you live in, say, Flint, MI, you have reason not to trust the tap water.

Unfortunately, people need to eat

The blatant racism around DEI fearmongering is really something terrible to behold. Funnily enough, the argument seems to be "racism/sexism isn't a thing anymore so clearly these are just less competent people getting jobs cause woke."

The Francis Scott Key bridge was blamed on DEI. Even though the ship wasn't even owned or crewed by Americans.
