My impression is that hardened criminals have a wider range of interactions with the police than pretty much anyone else. So the only way to convince a hardened criminal that you're trigger-happy and unaccountable is to actually be so.

I dunno, it feels like shifting your hand 1 key column to the left would feel better than coping with the nightmare of a control scheme you currently ended up with. When I played Dota 2, I used SZXC to move the camera rather than my usual WASD, and Clair Obscur is not so demanding on the precise execution of movement.

Yeah, that doesn't really click with me. Many non-video game works wouldn't work as video games, but that's not because I don't like video games - it's because video games are best when designed as a game from ground up.

I would say someone is an anime fan if they a) watch anime; b) are interested in anime as a genre, looking out there for new works etc. rather than just being fans of specific works.

I like the video game sub-question, since there's a well-known phenomenon of casual gaming (3 in a row and other phone timekillers, primarily) not being considered "real gaming". I'd reckon the primary drive for this, rather than disdain towards the casual gamer demographics, is the lack of any perceivable community around casual games.

I suppose late tens was when I switched to webliterature.

What do you think people in their mid-later tens read?

Why hast thou strayed from WASD orthodoxy?

I could tell you "yes sir" in a way that's subservient, or exaggerated to absurdity, or contemptuous, purely based on tone.

When ever was "you're going to regret it" a useful thing to say to anyone? They don't believe they're going to regret it, that's why they're doing what they're doing. Save it for when you do make them regret it.

This goes right along with "don't you know who I am" as the kind of phrase I only hear petty assholes on TV say.

If the monkey brain had its way I'd still be in a cave subsisting on meager, non-artificially-cultivated fruit. Are you trying to explain the thinking of the underclass or endorse it?

At the point I'm at, I think the only thing that was mentioned was that every Venerable was a supreme grandmaster - not that it was a hard requirement to cross into the ninth rank, although in retrospect it would be a reasonable assumption. In particular, I saw the scene of Red Lotus immediately after ascending and I do not recall anything other than the tribulation being mentioned.

While so far it's been okay that the novel doesn't instantly infodump the entire power scaling system onto the reader, at the moment I'm miffed that despite Fang Yuan being one rank away from venerable, it still wasn't explained what makes the third myriad tribulation so hard that only 10 people ever made it. I wasn't under the impression that those things grew in power exponentially within a single tribulation category, and as far as I understand there were many rank eights who were stuck at two out of three.

I see. Personally, it's plenty good enough for me. I notice a pattern where I get into an argument with someone who is against secularism/materialism, and every time it's some variant of "those guys back then made all those promises about it". I never needed to hear those promises or believe in them to prefer secularism to religion.

Conversely, if the promises of religion about eternal life in heaven are not true, then is the preaching and the faith not completely in vain?

Isn't that literally what secular humanism was trying to sell as an alternative to religion?

I do not think "you can't explain what is literally beyond known existence" is a criticism that destroys secular humanism.

To my layman understanding of miracles there has to be an established understanding of a secular mechanism which is then defied by the alleged miracle. The existence of the universe does not match this because we have no established understanding of a secular mechanism according to which the universe couldn't (or could) exist.

Can that which encompasses all ever be extraordinary?

Reaching the final third of Reverend Insanity, @self_made_human please clap.

I found that it is easier to tolerate the "light novel with Chinese characteristics" narration style if I imagine I'm reading a folk tale. The same formulaic language, the same bombastic emotion display (particularly bystanders marveling at someone whipping out particularly strong techniques). Not the kind of tale you'd read to your child at bedside, though. Truly, the profundities of human path are opening up before me.

Are there many cases of someone being tried for treason and exonerated? Treason does sound like the "TPTCurrentlyB want you dead" charge.

-Like and -lite marks the difference between audiences who want to complete the game eventually through piling on upgrades and those who want to play a game they might never complete.

"Permadeath highly-variable X" and "permadeath highly-variable X with metaprogression" for roguelites respectively? Not sure how to make it not be a mouthful when "roguelike" is already a pretty specific modifier genre.

Never watched any of his content so I don't know.

In case you're trying to lead me into some sort of a gotcha about approving of his death or whatever, I gotta say in advance I do not live in a country that venerates free speech, the lack of free speech is currently not on the side on my ingroup and neither were Kirk's ideas, aside from perhaps being pro-Israel. If he was performing his dunk debates in my country I would see his death as one small step in getting even with the state.

You see, this was meant to demonstrate that an edgy Charlie Kirk joke doesn't owe it to you to be funny, just like nigger jokes are often unfunny and serve as an ingroup signal rather than an expression of wit... will that be enough words?

when you kill fascists

According to the people on the left, their enemies already have no principles and no qualms about killing them, support for violence or not - the only reason why there's no open Holocaust on the streets is that for one reason or the other directly exterminating the left is not currently expedient for the left's enemies. So I doubt "live by the sword" will deter them.

I do not think it is because being a father means nothing to them. Rather that, because Kirk is their enemy, he is worse for being a father - either he created more evil children or his innocent children were forced to live with an evil father.

Everyone is happy to bite the bullet of being canceled for things they don't do anyway. It's called Just Being a Decent Person.
