And then along came Microsoft with the Zune and decided to have like this neat Nearby Share feature so you could like…share a song with a friend and their Zune - and called the feature “Squirting”.

Found the video Should Games Be Frustrating
First 8 minutes or so are red dead 2, and explain using frustration to funnel the player places or to do things. I found it some years after I played it, but even then he basically called out how I did my playthrough, which was spooky. Means the manipulation worked lol
This was intentional. Micah is antagonistic towards you from the get-go, Dutch begins to turn on you while you start to agree with Arthur (Dutch sounds less reasonable etc) . By the time you get to the island you are meant to be frustrated, tired from trying to “just finish the damn game” and you’re stranded with the 4 people you (the player) like the least - right after at least 2 of them bungled the heist in Saint Denis that got you in this mess. All the levels are just shooting gallery type beats to vent your frustration. There was a video on YouTube about emotional manipulation of the player that was a great write-up about this phenomena in RDR2, and why the ending mission American Venom feels so cathartic.
Edit: I actually found it! “Should Games Be Frustrating”. The first 8-9 minutes are largely Red Dead 2 and trails.off with that theme of using frustration to funnel player emotion, so I dont think you need to watch the whole thing.

31·24 days agoIn 1984, it is revealed that the “ministries of” are not ironic nor accidental - they did not become twisted versions of their namesakes. They are so named to intentionally destroy the thing they are named after.
Ergo, “Ministry of Peace”

Sort of yes, you can wager an event will happen and, because this is real life you can absolutely be the decider that something does or does not happen. The whole “sex toys at the WNBA” had 2 cases where the person who threw the toy was also in the pool for it to happen. The platform refused to pay out for these as far as I know, but these people were also arrested and verified and such. I don’t know what happens if you wager on a severe crime like an assassination, and don’t get caught - but if it’s a guarantee to get a visit from at least one of the three letter agencies if you opened that betting pool.
I’ve had theaters only allowing one refill, but that was either with a marker to the bottom or honor system (as far as that goes for $8 drinks). But tracking it with a chip is insanity
The real crime was how much those corns cost, all fancied up like that
I hate working with Medium Screen. I look at Medium Screen so long at work but then I get home and I love having Big Screen on while I scroll for anything entertaining on Little Screen.

Top Character Tropes@lemmy.world•The plot is set in motion or heavily influenced by a random circumstance or unnamed character
3·2 months agoBit of the running gag and inverse, but Saitama (the protagonist) repeatedly kicks the shit out of Garou (a future arc antagonist) in One Punch Man. As a result to losing to “random strangers” Garou’s growth as a villain is directly influenced by his insecurity about how easily he is beaten. Saitama being the airhead doesn’t even recognize him until later.
As long as they dont show up 4 times in a row because you posted the same meme to the top 4 subs type reposting. Who cares who posted it lmao
I rev mine (lightly) because my v8 is cold and experiencing morning sickness with fluids - dont have the time to let it idle before leaving in the am.
I do not want to race you through this light, I do not want to turn first into a new neutral, i do not want to run my rpm so high on freezing cold fluids, but I will absolutely gap your soccervan if you want me to I guess because I will not sit behind your ass as you drive 10 under and then come to a fucking stop to turn into a parking lot in 2 blocks for the school.
Ok? I don’t dislike autistic people. Feels more of a shot at RFK while also getting to insult someone. Also, you get to avoid using a taboo word.





Hes stumbling on something alright
