    Games are just emulating slot machines. That's fine sometimes, I enjoy RNG stuff being exposed and making number crunching flashy occasionally, but it's kinda weak design when the themes of your game allow for you to mask that stuff behind character design instead of just copy and pasting assets and changing the values

    If you're gonna have leveled enemies in an action game, the best way to do it is to make them visually different from regular goons and give them something like more armor, or a helmet, or a bigger weapon that's immune to regular parry.

    Do your leveling by gating areas with enemy types that require you to either master the combat or unlock a weapon through story progression that trivializes them.

    Love that institutionalized bribery and corruption are just a fact of life in American politics. The fact that stuff costs more and does less is a feature, not a bug, because of the system functioned well and the government got good deals for people, there's less of that money being funneled to their friends that pay them to maintain the inefficiency.

    Southern sweet tea is more of a dessert. Basically everyone here orders unsweet though and adds sugar to taste. The sweet tea they sell is mostly for kids and old ladies.

    Protests are the compromise, and if they don't get the compromise they're supposed to blossom into revolution.

    The Western powers have so thoroughly defanged the left though that the second stage of protest is basically never a threat.

    A protest is meant to be brandishing a weapon, but our weapon is a banana.
