  • Watch them struggle without searching a forum on how to do it.

    Wow, you mean someone wont know how to do something if they’ve never done it before and are forbidden from looking for help? Astounding, get a research team on this.

    A normie won’t know you have to use a dash for app-get on some operating systems vs another one.

    But a single search will return dozens of results of the correct answer and then they’ll know, because it isn’t actually difficult and your argument is based in “I don’t want to learn” dressed up as “it’s too hard”





  • but it makes no digetic sense. People in real life don’t do a squat mid-air if their only intention is to step up to a higher object.

    I kinda gotta disagree with this entire premise, it is very common to lift your legs up when trying to jump on something higher than your starting position.

    I don’t think a mantling system is a good drop-in replacement for crouch jumping. As you say, it simplifies the movement, meaning the player will no longer have the variety of “jump, without being able to land on higher surfaces” and “jump and be able to land on higher surfaces.” I think having that extra functionality is a benefit to purposeful player movement.

    It also means that they can connect other important game functionality to the Crouch button if that keybind just doesn’t do much for the intended gameplay.

    What other functionality could be tied to the crouch button that is mutually exclusive with crouch jumping? Like I get some games with more movement abilities would have double jumps and air dashes, but those movements are already pretty well accounted for with the jump button and sprint button.




  • I saw it when I was rather young but I thought it was pretty good, apparently people thought it’s edgy.

    That’s me, I’m people. Same as you, I remember watching it when I was young and thinking it was a cool mature thriller, but I rewatched it last year for the first time and I was honestly a little shocked at how edgy it seems. Like the first 30 minutes really hammer how much trauma Evan went through, and it just felt really heavy handed.

    edit: to be clear I don’t hate The Butterfly Effect, I just remember distinctly thinking how edgy it was on review
