They’d sue you for playing their games on their hardware if they could

finally, i don’t have to stream from my PC to play the funny card game

Through monstadt, it really does feel like a clone. Though as the game opens up, yeah it does carve out its own identity.

At the beginning before you get any good teammates, your party members are basically just the different BOTW weapons, and their skills are the different shieka slate tools. Kaeya’s your Cryo, Amber’s your Bombs, Noelle’s your hammers, and you need them to get to korok seed stand-ins. Domains are obvious parallels to shieka shrines, but they mostly get abandoned after the prologue chapter as anything other than gear grind spots. Even the grind of ascending characters and their weapons feels like doing great fairy fountain gear grinds.

edit: oh, and you climb and glide around to traverse the massive environment; it’s a surface level feature comparison, but worth mentioning.

The comparison does begin to fall apart when you find out that the meat and potatoes of genshin is the (mostly self contained) main storylines, and once you start unlocking character storylines, it becomes even further distinct. You’re not building up to reunite with your sibling by just picking a direction and exploring (or even just making a mad dash to the cryo nation), you’re sequentially building up and knockign down local threats, only occasionally getting glimpses of the main thread. And of course, the mobile game mechanics that permeate the whole thing after AR 30 or so really pull it further away.

genshin, wholly in spite of its fucked up gacha party system. If it was a normal 60 dollar game with less scope and without the gambling, I’d like it better than BotW.

now im thirsty for some good tea

ancient alchemists popping off in their graves rn

It’s impossible for me to make money without robbing a bank, please let me do that parliament it would be so funny

lol

New law, everyone must be nice to me :(

best we have right now is a robo dog with a flamethrower.

I’m not sure the comparison is quite apt, I’m not familiar with any independent food delivery services beyond just asking your buddy to grab some snacks on the way over for a hangout or something.

But I am vaguely familiar with the idea of loss-leading and think its despicable. If no regulation is ever going stand in the way of practices, then knowing they’re being exploited by folks like pizza dude makes me feel a bit better, at least.

what the fuck, it just shits it out from a story up? Couldn’t it like, scoot down to ground level at least?

I say good for him. Doordash can bleed all of the money it wants.

Couldn’t we send out two devices in different directions, wait a decade, have them shine light at eachother simultaneously, record when they receive the light, then send the times back to earth?

General Ludd had some good points tho…

This sucks, because smartphones could be such fantastic tools in a classroom. Not that I’m under the illusion that they’re being used in any sort of productive way (or even would be), I was once a kid scrolling through shitposts and memes in class. But having all of the textbooks in one place, the ability to record lectures and whiteboards for later review, and automated schedule management would’ve definitely made my high school education a lot smoother.

what the fuck i don’t even own a dishwasher, why did i watch all of this

For context, we’re playing an elder scrolls RPG in my tabletop group. We’ve been meeting the various leaders of cyrodiil. They were handing out cute quests like “hey, can you grab some authentic akaviri swords folded over a million times then dropped in a hole in the ground for me?” and “pls help, I think my goober son is getting into a mischief.”

The count of skingrad just straight up officially sanctioned a murder in the streets of a vigilant of stendarr.

The problem with condoms though is that they suck. Like, ugh, I’ll put on the toque of shame but stopping a frisky moment to apply birth control is just plain annoying.

Give me the swim team hiatus pill I can take before getting the penis brain, please and thanks.
