The only difference between bigotry and compassion is attribution of cause.

Women are usually worse at math and science than men. Absolutely true fact. But why?

See also: Racial minorities being poorer, worse educated, and more inclined to steal. It's true! Now tell me why it's true. Trans people have higher rates of mental illness, self-harm, and suicide. No argument that this is true, it's rampant. But why is it true?

social pressure

women and girls are actively discouraged from engaging in math & science by:
teachers (dont sweat it honey, you'll make a smart man very happy with those looks)
men (i dont want to be with a smarter woman because it makes me feel inferior)
women (ew who wants a dorky nerd girl, borinnnng)

you get all that in math class as a 12-year old girl and yeah you start to associate math with unhappiness

On the flipside of this, I've been kicked from games because I know how to prefire, and a lot of players see that and just assume you're wallhacking. Nobody pays attention to the 70% of the time that you prefire at air, but when you guess right and instakill someone holding an angle, it's easier to say "cheater" than "i've been holding this same angle for the past 5 rounds, perhaps I've become predictable"

I have small hands and still fingertip basically all the time, and I have all my life. I don't use a small mouse either (G502)

I hate how smudgy and uncomfortable it feels to have reduced fine control when my palm comes into contact with the mouse. It feels icky and frustrating. I know plenty of people palm grip with low DPI and big mousepads to achieve fine control, but that seems far more exhausting than just developing stamina in the forearm.

You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It’s just common sense.

This comment will include a lot of spoilers for the yokoverse. Continue at your own peril.

Anyway, just to give you an idea of how little any of this matters to Yoko Taro, here's how his stories have developed:

Drakengard: Ends with absolute apocalypse, total destruction of the world, no coming back.

Nier: Let's go ahead and change the name and say that all the Drakengard stuff has now entered a new dimension. Our dimension! The story technically goes on, and THIS time we'll have the absolute apocalypse of OUR world.

Drakengard 3: Where do we go to continue the Darkengard name? Make it a prequel! Ezpz. Also we already did interdimensional stuff so let's add time travel why not.

Nier Automata: Okay the world basically ended for humans, but who cares? Just make it all about legacy of humans.

You know what, we can do even more already. Why not pepper in some mobile games, like Nier Reincarnation and SINoALICE (yes, this is still Nier universe). Why keep it to games? Let's write light novels (YoRHa, Drakengard 1.3) and a stage play (YoRHa Boys). I am not even the biggest Yokostan so this list is probably incomplete.

My personal take is that this methodology is all very intentionally tied to the main theme of the Yokoverse, which is that no matter how dark and hopeless the situation may become, there is always a future; a new opportunity.

I got this bug on desktop, running chrome, with no VPN.

This was, as most things like this are, just a pure dumb fuck-up by some guy putting things on prod without properly testing and staging. No need to put on any more tin foil hats than we already have, the incompetence is plenty reason enough to point and laugh.

Oops, you're right. I went kingblind

I think the definitive solution was already found further down the thread, but I think this could still work
Qd3 Bg3 Nf4 Kh4 ... at that point it becomes a sloppy chase but White takes an indomitable lead, taking B and a pawn easily

While I agree that Hunt is a great game, I think it's a bit dishonest to compare it to Tarkov. I guess it's my own fault for saying "extraction shooter" since Hunt IS a Shooter where the goal is to Extract something, but the economic component is paper-thin, to the point that it barely matters.

A strength of Tarkov is the frequent wipes. This isn't me saying Hunt should do the same - it's a different game. Rather that I want a game with an emphasis on economic risk, like Tarkov, but made by a developer with the competence of Crytek.
