I just got a Wii to play RE4, WarioWare: Smooth Moves, and a couple GameCube games. I still need to get the component cable (I'm on composite, which isn't ideal) but I'm finding it just as fun as I remember.

Tbf, as a Driller main I, too, drill straight toward objectives. Though I'll ensure I don't drill at too steep an angle, since I don't want to have to bother jumping off I can avoid it. I'll also drill straight toward the escape pod from whatever room the group is in, which usually winds up helping everyone.

In my group, the person that usually plays engineer has the nuke OC, so I'm generally not the main source of friendly fire. I do fight giant bugs' with C4, though.

The Driller specializes in ~~drilling tunnels and igniting alien bugs with his flamethrower~~ using C4 on Scouts.

I love this game, even though I haven't played in months. I've got a verified mod installed that gives every enemy googly eyes (and one semi-mobile plant that already looked like a Muppet opening and closing its mouth) which makes me very happy.

Not to mention, a major reason why people buy Nintendo consoles is to play first-party Nintendo games. Sure, it's possible to emulate those titles on PC and probably the Deck, but a lot of people either don't know how or don't want to invest the time, money or effort to do so when they know the game will just work on the intended console.

Are they forgoing voting in down-ballot races as well? Undervoting is a thing, and most electoral shifts start at the local level.

I forget if it was here or back when I was on that other site where I read it, but at least a year ago someone suggested "don't put it down, put it away" as a mantra to mentally recite whenever I'm holding something at home to prevent clutter build-up in common spits to sit. I don't always follow it, but it's been a huge help in managing my own item organization and management.

As a way to combat the difficulty I have with noticing messiness in visually busy environments like a household room, I also try to pick up a piece of refuse or dirty dish l that may have been forgotten whenever I know I'm going near or to the kitchen; I've developed that into a reliable habit, which is extra helpful when I forget why I went to the kitchen in the first place- only to go back to the kitchen for a second time, with yet another item in hand.

The individual actions are very easy, simple things I can remember to do in the moment when I think of them as I'm doing something else.

Edit: I'm aware the ask was about things we could implement, not have implemented, but I felt I hit the general idea; very simple changes that may improve QoL.

I remember planting so, so many rings in a single place with debug mode enabled in Sonic 2 just so I could play through each stage as Super Sonic without effort- aside from the super slippery controls.

Some states don't require observation of heat stroke risk mitigation for their workers. Getting it into their federal labor contract ensures a) the feature will be required as a functional feature in all their vehicles, and 2. they can't be told not to turn the feature on.

This was the only thing I could think of with that title.

To add to this: taking territory is the easy part.

The hard part is holding it, because you don't just have to worry about staffing the front line, but maintaining security in the occupied regions long enough for non-state actors to cease hostilities and accept the invading force as the new legitimate authority- which may never fully occur- all the while dealing with resistance fighters.

This means orders of magnitude more personnel, funding, and equipment for an unknowable length of time across a much larger area than just the line of incursion.

It's taken them two years to fail to take the land, and now have an incursion into their own soil to contend with. so I'm skeptical they'd manage to keep it permanently.

I've been playing this game off and on for years, and it's always a delight.

That perfect investigation bonus can get pretty big, and that needs a full photo album of 3-Star photos. Disturbed salt is an easy way to get close to that, so your friend is sleeping on some great cheese.

The better we understand the nervous systems of other species, the better we can understand our own through comparison and testing, which in turn can lead to more ideas for medical treatments- or augmentation, if you're into that kind of thing.
