That should be your main focus. Parrying. I think I only dodged when fighting the mimes
I beat the hidden arena solo fights with Maelle doing this. Then I farmed it for a while because it's great XP!

Just picked this up this weekend after hearing about it for these last few months. I'm a bit into Act 1 and I'm loving it so far. I've got to get better at parrying, but I'm loving the fight mechanics.
Story and music are S tier so far also.

I can't believe they screwed this up. I mean, I can because I watched the first season and barely made it through, but still. The story was right there on a silver platter.
Oh well, I bet we will get an awesome AI adaptation in the next decade.

I've been cautiously optimistic about this movie, but that trailer was fantastic and has me actually excited.

But where does this come from?
If it’s seriously 1/5 of the male population that is sexually attracted to children, then there has to be a cause. We aren’t biologically wired for it so why is it so prevalent?
About 15 years ago now, a friend was working in a Dr's office. This Dr was a pillar of the community, deacon at his church, family man with a supposedly loving wife and kids and grandkids. One day federal agents came in and arrested him and caught him with tons of CP images and videos. My friend said that when he finally talked about it, he said it started with just regular porn addiction. Eventually regular porn wasn't exciting enough, so he started searching for more "exciting" things, fetishes, etc. and that eventually lead him to CP.
Obviously not everyone who looks at porn will go down that road, but it's a slippery slope and there's a certain personality type that will definitely be pulled in that direction. It really opened my eyes to the actual dangers of pornography and how it can warp your mind if exposed to it too much.
And just to be clear, I'm not blaming the porn necessarily, this Dr was a scumbag. Just saying how he got there according to his words.

There's a lot of garbage in the genre, but some true gems such as DCC and Iron Prince. It's also got a lot of decent "junk food" that are just easy listens on long trips.
re: AI Tutors are about to make teachers trade summers off for year-round jobs
Posted by TigerNutwhack on 3/24/25 at 11:34 am
Our educational system is ripe for disruption and AI tutors and adaptive teaching assistants are absolutely going to be a part of it. If you look at the current home school models where the kids work on things as they are ready for them, couple that with personalized AI tutors, teachers for personal and emotional guidance and supervision, and also continue with things like sports, group projects, and other meaningful social interactions and I think you've got a much better model than what we currently have.
More focused and effective learning, more out of the class time for other life skills and less sitting in desks.

re: Awesome moments in otherwise average shows or movies
Posted by TigerNutwhack on 3/18/25 at 6:27 pm
My first thought was the No Man's Land scene in Wonder Woman. Mediocre super hero movie but that scene made me feel something the first and only time I watched it.
I just went to watch it again after this thread and it's really not anything special by itself.
Another candidate that always comes to mind is the first Truck scene in Jeepers Creepers (and really the first 30 minutes of the movie).

re: Any XCOM Fans Here?
Posted by TigerNutwhack on 3/7/25 at 9:46 pm
Ive played a lot, but it's been a while and I can't really remember what the base game is like anymore. If and when you get bored with it, take a look at the mod "Long War of the Chosen" . It's a big strategic change that changes up a lot and adds tons of new options, enemies, and even a few classes.

They are a fringe but loud group. If you want to destabilize another country, you get these groups under your thumb by funding them and pointing them towards the establishment. They are loud and divisive and create chaos, and chaos is a ladder.

Not the most, but in Jurassic World, the way they killed off the assistant tasked with watching the kids was pretty brutal.
Actress must have pissed off the writers somehow
Agreed. This was the most unnecessarily brutal killing I've seen. So out of tone with the rest of the movie, even with bunches of other people getting eaten by dinosaurs.
re: Trump/Elon actions eerily similar to Jindal’s destruction of Louisiana

Am I missing something? Katrina hit in 2005 and Jindal wasn't governor until 2008.
re: Dept of Education
Posted by TigerNutwhack on 2/14/25 at 11:02 am
Education is ripe for major disruption. We've got an industrialized system for a post industrial world. I don't know enough about the function of the DoE to really comment, but I'd bet it has a negative effect on the innovation side of things.
Personally I'm hoping for something like adaptive AI companions for each kid that helps them learn the best way they are able, but that's just my futurist day dream.

NIH, this is why it's important to post the actual perspective.
Sorry buddy, I think you're the one who lacks perspective here. You claim to be for spending cuts, but when waste and fraud is found you down play it as a "rounding error". It won't, by itself, solve our budget issues. But you've got to build a baseline of what is actually necessary spending before you can really do that. You want to know how you get people on board with actually balancing the budget, whether through taxes, cuts, or both? You restore trust in the institutions that are utilizing those tax dollars. And to do that, you have to cut as much waste and fraud as possible and make it as loud and transparent as possible.

Strengthen and modernize our military, making it, without question, the strongest and most powerful in the world
Where does that say no spending cuts? Where does it say they don't want to find waste fraud and abuse within the defense budget?
quote:
Fight for and protect social security and medicare with no cuts, including no changes to the retirement age
Where does that say they don't want to find waste fraud and abuse within SS and Medicare?
Like I said, no one is saying stop at the $40 billion. But like another poster said, we're not going to find a $3 Trillion dollar bill laying around either. We've got to eat this elephant one bite at a time.

$40B is a rounding error
No, it isn't. It's a significant amount of money. This frivolous attitude about government spending is one of the reasons we are in this situation in the first place.
No one is saying stop with that, well not on the MAGA team. We can hope it's just the beginning. DOGE is a useful tool for shining a light on the waste and potential corruption, and riles up the base to try to affect change. Congress won't do shite if people don't force them to, so the outcry for actual spending cuts has to be very very high.

re: Whistleblower has accused Pennsylvania Gov for facilitating assassination attempt on Trump

As easy as it is to believe that there were nefarious forces at work that day other than the lone gunman, this does look like it was written by a loony toon.
I can't say I'd be completely surprised if it turned out to be true, but it certainly doesn't look very credible at first glance.
