They what? Why didn’t any of my fellow Germans tell me?

Most jobs, at least the better paying ones, include 6 weeks of vacation. However, you can use them all at once.

Die erste Zeile mit dem Pfeil sagt dir, dass du die Karte um 90° drehst um ihren Effekt zu nutzen (= Tappen). Damit markiert man sie als ‘benutzt’. Zu Beginn jedes Zuges werden üblicher Weise alle Karten des Spielers wieder in die normale Position zurück gedreht.

So, what’s your point? Other people might have a lot more boring childhood anecdotes to tell, but it’s not like I’m suffering in any kind. I still remember people or useful skills - the stuff I do use.

As an added benefit of growing up quite poor, I probably just had less unique experiences I actually could recall. Like, I’ve been on three travel vacations overall. Kinda like those COVID years blurred together for most people.

Nah, it’s just shitty memory. I have had quite the happy childhood, actually.

I don’t find myself reminiscing a lot and in the rare cases I do, there are quite some gaps. Even in more recent times. If I really try to dig, maybe it comes back, but I assume it’s “use it or lose it”.

I’ve already forgotten most of my childhood and I’m only around 30. So I’d assume, yes.

I assumed as much, but had hoped for a less disgusting reason.

Ich werde nie verstehen, warum alle es so geil finden nach unten zu treten. Klar, Populisten brauchen einen Sündenbock damit wir nicht noch auf die Idee kommen Ihnen oder ihren reichen Freunden das Geld wegzunehmen - aber das die Wähler das geil finden trifft mich.

Why would you protest this change? 0.015% is still insane and it takes nothing away from the ones who already made it.

I’m really glad I wasn’t born into one of the hyper competitive Asian education systems, but on the other hand, I’m not sure the degrading western education systems I was born in are better. A happy middle ground would be nice.

Some games I replay a lot, but always on a fresh save. I think I’ve finished Dark Souls about 10 times without ever touching NG+.

Notable exceptions are:

• Nier Automata, although you kind of have to if you want the whole game and it still brought down the experience for me.
• Chrono Trigger, for the quick kill on Lavos. I did not play much of the NG+.

Who cares? Just like most things your average programmer relies on, they are written by smarter or at least more specialised people to make your job easier. They have learned to write memory-safe code so you don’t have to.

That approach may work for journalism and such, with a single person collecting primary sources and verifying them before writing an article. However, it does not work on the internet.

Instead of one person verifying the claim and adding further sources in an article, every single reader would have to do it. And anyone using the internet would have to do so hundreds of times every day. Nobody does that. It only makes sense to shift the burden of further proof onto the primary source or disregard it.

It’s just too easy to lie about them. They allegedly had primary sources for “They are eating the dogs”.

Trusting your common sense to filter these just doesn’t work, asking for a better source is never wrong.

Fits in nicely with the recent article about conservative men having trouble dating. Maybe don’t antagonize women?

It is obvious, you’re right. I just feel like the proper course of action wouldn’t have been a claim and a demand for an investigation. Maybe ask others for their experiences and link a petition for people to sign, should they share this feeling, and start an investigation that way.

Does it though? There are plenty of countries with legal prostitution and I’ve never seen any statistics about illegal prostitution being on the rise there.

It’s one of those claims both sides could make and actually believe in. There might even be data for both sides, given enough cherry-picking that is.

He may be the inventor of politics for all I care, credentials are no indicator of truth.

A claim such as this needs some data, otherwise it’s not much better than any right-wing conspiracy.

Probably talking out of his ass. I like to read conservative threads to see comments outside of my bubble - they say the same shit, just about other platforms like reddit.

It’s the age of post-truth and I don’t think there is a fix for that anytime soon.

Unabhängig von den scheinbar kontroversen Figuren würde mich interessieren ob und wenn ja warum Kappen in der Altersklasse so beliebt sind. In meiner Blase, geschätzt ähnliches Alter, trägt niemand Hüte.

That should not stop you from trying. You, and everyone else in this thread for that matter, just drop excuses. Either you guys finally start removing some billionaires, I’m all for that, or you start doing the little things. Ideally, just do both.

Performance problems aside (menus take ages to load in), I like the game quite a bit. There is just so much stuff: 120 characters, two additional fighting systems for special events, a card game, a bayblade minigame, a castle/town upgrade system and probably much more - I’m not even halfway done. The combat is quite auto-attack heavy and therefore simple, but keep in mind I’m olaying with double MP cost for all abilities (one of the additional challanges to tweak your own difficulty, like the ones in Dragon Quest XI).

As for the EXP thing, there are a few things that happened to align for me. EXP works like this:

• Each level requires 1000 EXP.
• You get EXP based on level difference between you and your enemies. There is a maximum value of EXP a single enemy can give to usually prevent what happened to me - I think it’s about 1000 for most enemies.
• If you get say 3000 EXP, that’s 3 level ups. Remaining EXP does not get adjusted upon each level up. That’s great since you can recruit 120 characters and if you miss someone at first, it does not take long to catch up if you want to use them.
• You fight with 6 charaters. EXP is split between them, meaning you get more EXP per character if only e.g. 2 of them survive.

Now, what actually happened to me is: I fought a unique mini-boss encounter with 5 enemies. I was overall underleveled and got wiped twice. The third time however, I won with only my weakest character still standing - he was 8 level below my team average. He got about 1200 EXP for the level difference * 5 enemies * 6, since only he survived, resulting in about 35 level ups.
