Video game discourse has fallen so far that we have Yahtzee describing rudely-named difficulty settings as "ableist" and whining about how "patronizing" designers are. He suggests adaptive difficulty as the best solution because "no one has to see it." What if I specifically want the game to be harder,... period? Why should difficulty be a self-tuning black box hidden away from the player? This is just another step towards making games into guided amusement park tours. If I'm stuck on a difficult section or boss, I don't want it automatically toned down, I want to get better at the game and beat it. He even brings up DMC games as an example of being "too patronizing" because it doesn't give you an easy mode unless you die enough times, but you know what? The higher difficulties are locked at the start, too. Some of us would say that's patronizing. Why shouldn't I be able to choose Hard mode right away?show more

Lebron on what it takes to play for as long as he has at a high level that the average fan may not understand: "It starts way before you get on the floor. They see us once the game is going the popcorn's been popped and the lights are brighter. It takes so much more like sacrifice and discipline and things over the course if you want to be really great at this and if you want to do it for a long period of time. It's so many hours that you got to commit to it. There's so many things that you maybe want to do that you can't if you want to be great but everybody's journey is different. I'm just speaking from my journey but I do think that the game gives back to the ones who put the time in and commit to the game. That's just the game God's rewarding and we don't cheat the process"

Phantom Blade Zero's double boss fight on the hard difficulty This was like my 10th attempt so I scream at the end when I beat it and they've already confirmed that there's an even harder difficulty mode you unlock only after you beat the game called Hellwalker

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on how difficult it is to shoot over Victor Wembanyama and if he figured out some things he can take into Game 2: "The second part of your question, I probably wouldn't want to say in public because I don't want to give any answers away. But yeah, it's obviously challenging. He's very tall, very long and he deters a lot of things at the rim. You've got to be smart when you go in there. Be patient, but also be aggressive and don't be too timid in there. I think you get caught worrying about it too much and you lose aggression, and that's when they really get a stranglehold on the game. You've got to be able to be aggressive but also be smart."

"Don't play ARC Raiders if you don't enjoy it" "skill issue" "it will divide playerbase" just because I said I would enjoy the game more if there was a separate PvE mode. It's been so fun reading the comments. Just because I want a PvE mode doesn't mean I'm bad at the game or that I don't enjoy it. But why am I bothering, someone will just say "skill issue" and under that someone will make something up that I wasn't even trying to say. I like ARC Raiders, and enjoy it. No, I'm not bad at it. Imagine someone asking for a spec ops game mode for a CoD and people say it will divide the player base, you're bad at it or you don't enjoy it. See you when ARC Raiders fully releases.

🚨ELON MUSK ON VIDEO GAMES "I'm in the top 20 in the world in Diablo IV. I'm listed with my actual name on the list. There's only two Americans in the top 20, and I'm one of them." "If I play a video game on extreme difficulty, I have to concentrate fully on the game and it has a calming effect. I think anything that forces you to concentrate fully has a restoring effect." "It cleans the mind." "Video games require manual dexterity. If someone is good at video games their surgical skills might be good.

#YOUNGJAE: "running away is embarrassing, but if it helps, run away anytime." actually, that's a thought we often have when we’re alone, right? like, difficult thoughts or, to put it simply, “i want to quit my job. what do i do?” before going to bed at night, “i want to quit right now, but if i do, what can i even do?” people think about those things a lot, right? i sang this song because i hoped it could bring comfort in those moments. this song also really helped me when i was struggling alone. it has the lyric, “running away is embarrassing, but if it helps, it’s okay” and i really like the lyric that follows it: “you don't have to always face everything head-on to be brave. we are young, and we have tomorrow” that part made me feel like, “this is a song i really want to sing.” it made me want to sing it that much. and i thought it could really be a source of strength for you all too, which is why i recommend it.

Asked Skylar Diggins about Seattle’s mentality/inability to close out games ahead of the playoffs: “I promise you, I swear I'm not even being facetious. If we had these answers to these questions, you know what I'm saying? This game is tough. It's hard to win in this league. It's hard to win in this league. And obviously, yes, we're disappointed with where we are, that we're in this predicament. But Nneka has said it in the past too. It's not going to be a woe is me. Games are still going to be played. You know, we still have to come out and compete. And most importantly, you know, we have to be professional. And you know, I lacked professionalism in that last press conference too. I want to apologize to the room. Apologize to Nneka. She always comes out here, handles herself exceptionally, and I handle myself poor. And you know, I got to be a better leader when it's hard and it's hard to be a leader. But I owe you that apology in front of everybody in the room. So I just wanted to say that before we left. But yeah, obviously it's tough. We're pissed. Yeah, that's what you guys want to hear? You want to see it. This is what it is when you're passionate. We do everything passionately, and that's what it is. We don't want to fucking be in this predicament. But here we are. So we're going to continue to show up and be pros every day, be leaders by example, how we come in and prepare and come out and get ready to compete, and that's all we can do. And if we don't do that, then we don't deserve to be in the playoffs.” @OffTheRecordW | #WNBA

I love this guy but I'm sorry but I 101% disagree with this take, this take is absolutely so horrible 😅 This is truly a superficial take that people do for the New Team NInja " Soulslikes " Games. The combat in those games is absolutely not pure number loot slop. It can be if someone wants to play them as Diablo-likes yes BUT if someone wants to enjoy a super deep and complex combat, there is absolutely no need to care about numbers and RPG stuff. Someone can simply just focus on the pure combat aspect of the game, as long has he has enough mastery in order to be able to do it. And that's why I love and enjoy SO MUCH Nioh, Wo Long and Stranger of Peak 🔥 And speaking of harder difficulties of the game, bosses do NEW ATTACKS and they have a different AI on EVERY SINGLE different difficulty. This video was recorded in the hardest difficulty of the game, Lufenia Difficulty. And there is no pure number loot slop in this, only Peak Combat 😌 Stranker of Peak Final Fantasy Origin - Gilgamesh - No Damage - Lufenia Difficulty 🥷

GOT7’s Jackson Wang gave a touching speech at his Manila concert, moving fans deeply. "I just want to say that I'm just one of the millions of artists and I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to be here to share my story with you. That's why I repeatedly say thank you. Thank you for coming here. Thank you for taking the time and listening to my story. What I really want to say is "Life is hard" no matter what industry you are in, especially as an entertainment worker. When I have the opportunity to be here with you, I would like to pass on a message that "Life is so hard." And sometimes we all want to be 'perfect', right? Every day we wake up with social media full of a lot of information, many times we get lost, we don't even know that...Many times we just follow what is trending. What others see as interesting But deep down, we may not care at all. I think that "selfishness" is not a bad thing and "Feeling not okay" is okay .... Why do we have to feel Is it okay all the time? Do you understand? Because that's why I always say "Live the magic" Live with everything that happens, whether good or bad. Because all that molds you into who you are today for me, it really makes me grow into #MADEMEAMAN. And I want you to take this message back from my show tonight. Thank you very much.

Difficulty and value are inexorably linked. The only thing that gives said objective value at all is its difficulty. If money was everywhere, along with huge piles of gold, on every street corner - it would have no value at all. Understand that it is the difficulty that delivers the DESIRE at all. YOU WOULDN’T WANT IT IF IT WASN’T HARD. Therefore... Complaining that it’s hard is a LOGIC FAIL. People complaining about things being hard is as stupid as complaining things are valuable. "Getting a 6 pack is hard" = "Getting a 6 pack is valuable" Be glad it’s hard. If it wasn’t you wouldn’t want it. Or you’d already have it along with everyone else and nobody would care. Hard to make a million bucks, that’s why it’s worth..... a million bucks. If it wasn’t, it wouldn’t be. I always say to replace the word HAVE with GET for an instant mindset shift. "I GET to go to work today" Here’s another: Replace the word HARD with IMPORTANT and you will instantly see how motivation appears from thin air. "Making money is important" "Being in good shape is important" Yes. It is. This allows you to eliminate the need for willpower, experience the world in a new light, and find a mental fortitude you never knew existed. Now... What will you do with it? Learn more:

Personally as much as I love MBAACC I can't recommend it to new fighting game players. A lot of the inputs feel frame perfect with low margin for error and there's no tutorial mode. Also preferably you should read Tsukihime first so you know who the characters are. For first timers I would recomend something like FighterZ, MVC3 or if you want to do Melty Blood, start with Type Lumina. HOWEVER, MBAACC is an amazing game that's cheap and runs well and even as a new player if you have the motivation, you can learn it just like any other game.

Jordan Peterson: "If you can't fix your room, you can't fix your life" "Why should you even bother improving yourself? The answer is something like: so you don't suffer anymore stupidly than you have to. And maybe so others don't have to either. It's not some casual self-help doctrine. If you don't organize yourself properly, you'll pay for it. In a big way. And so will the people around you." Peterson continues: "You can say, 'Well, I don't care about that.' But that's actually not true, you do care about it. Because if you're in pain, you will care about it. It's very rare that you can find someone in excruciating pain who would say, 'Well, it would be no better if I was out of this.' Pain brings the idea that it would be better if it didn't exist along with it. It's incontrovertible." On how to start: "Look around for something that bothers you and see if you can fix it. You can do this in a room. Sit in your bedroom and think: 'If I wanted to spend ten minutes making this room better, what would I have to do?' You have to ask yourself that, it's a genuine question. And things will pop out. There's a stack of papers bugging you. Some rubbish behind your computer monitor you haven't attended to for six months. Cables tangled up." He explains why this matters: "If you were coming to see me for psychotherapy, the easiest thing would be to get you to organize your room. You think, is that psychotherapy? It depends on how you conceive the limits of your being. Start where you can start. If something announces itself as in need of repair that you could repair, fix it. Fix a hundred things like that, your life will be a lot different." On fixing what you repeat every day: "People tend to think of their daily routines as trivial. You get up, brush your teeth, have breakfast. Those probably constitute 50% of your life. People think, they're mundane, I don't need to pay attention to them. No, that's exactly wrong. The things you do every day are the most important things you do. Hands down. Just do the arithmetic." On staying within your competence: "Sometimes you don't know how to fix something. Imagine you're walking down the street and there's a guy who's alcoholic and schizophrenic and has been homeless for ten years. That's a problem. It would be good if you could fix it, but you haven't got a clue. You walk around that and go find something you could fix. Just because something announces itself as in need of repair doesn't mean it's you, right then and there, who should repair it. You have to have some humility. You don't walk up to a helicopter that isn't working and just start tinkering away." Peterson shares the key insight: "As soon as you give your mind a genuine aim, it'll reconfigure the world in keeping with that aim. That's actually how you see to begin with. You've all seen the video where you watch basketballs being tossed back and forth, and while you're doing that, a gorilla walks into the middle of the video and you don't see it. If you thought about that experiment for five years, that would be about the right amount of time to spend thinking about it." He explains what it reveals: "What it shows you is that you see what you aim at. If you can get one thing through your head, that would be a good one. You see what you aim at. One inference you might draw from that is: be careful what you aim at. What you aim at determines the way the world manifests itself to you. So if the world is manifesting itself in a very negative way, one thing to ask is: are you aiming at the right thing?"

Scott on why conviction in an idea is dangerous as an investor but required as a founder: "From the investor seat, I don't think you want to be in love with an idea. That's a risky thing because you'll find a way to express that by investing and make some compromises on the team because you know this idea is just so good, its time has come. But if the team isn't there, 90% of the time it doesn't work. Then there's a whole thing can you swap out the team? But the whole Founders Fund thesis was always no, you need the founder to run the company. But on the company side, you have to be in love with the idea. It's not that rational to start a company. There's a lot easier, more comfortable ways to make money if that's the goal. So it's got to be about what the company is doing specifically. If you want to actually start a company, it better be something that you're really passionate about, or you think that the problem is really important."

Rafa Nadal & Roger Federer were asked how they want to be remembered in a new campaign for Louis Vuitton Rafa: “At the end what will make me feel proud and happy is when I leave this world, if the tournament directors, the people who work at the tournaments, staff, ATP, say good things about who I was on the tour, or who I am as a person more than a tennis player. Because as a tennis player, at the end, we have the titles, we have the achievements and that's how it is. I achieved more than what I ever dreamed of. So for me at the end, the legacy in terms of a human being, after achieving all the things that we achieved, for me is the most important thing.” ❤️ Roger: “I hope if I'm remembered not only as a tennis player, but as a person behind what I gave to the game and what I represented to the game, and it was less about all my Wimbledon victories or whatever it was, that would mean a lot to me. If I can be remembered more as the personality rather than just a player, that would be great. And if I was a good role model for kids, that would make me happy too… And it would be nice, like Rafa said, if the people are happy to see us again. Not like ‘oh no, that guy again,’” 😂 These two. 🥹

Rafa Nadal & Roger Federer were asked how they want to be remembered in a new campaign for Louis Vuitton Rafa: “At the end what will make me feel proud and happy is when I leave this world, if the tournament directors, the people who work at the tournaments, staff, ATP, say good things about who I was on the tour, or who I am as a person more than a tennis player. Because as a tennis player, at the end, we have the titles, we have the achievements and that's how it is. I achieved more than what I ever dreamed of. So for me at the end, the legacy in terms of a human being, after achieving all the things that we achieved, for me is the most important thing.” ❤️ Roger: “I hope if I'm remembered not only as a tennis player, but as a person behind what I gave to the game and what I represented to the game, and it was less about all my Wimbledon victories or whatever it was, that would mean a lot to me.

Caitlin Clark says she doesn't want the Knicks to sweep the NBA finals, and that she wants the series to go to a Game 7 because she's "a fan of basketball." "I'm a fan of basketball, so I love great games. I don't want the Knicks to sweep it. I'm kind of indifferent on who wins, but I'm just such a basketball fan that I would love to see it go to seven games, just because I think it's been such a great series. And even the Spurs beating the Thunder, was incredible too. You can learn so much. So, I try to absorb as much as I can. I was out to dinner last night, and it was fun to just see the buzz around around the city, and how passionate fans are. And I was joking with Lexi [Hull], I'm like, man, we should have got gone right outside MSG after they [won], because I always want to see those people...where they're like jumping around on each other and climbing light poles. I feel like that would be the experience. I don't know if my security guy would let me do that, but I want to. I want to experience that, because those Knicks fans are, they're so passionate and crazy. I admire it. It's pretty awesome."

The fact that taking your outfit off & playing the game "naked" gives you a harder difficulty because it removes your shield, is so damn cool, not to mention you will be extra distracted because you'll be staring at the GYATTTTT! I am playing the entire game like this on the hardest difficulty LOL.

Jason Calacanis: Social media companies should disclose their algorithms or lose Section 230 protections Why? “An algorithm is more powerful than an editor at the New York Times or an editor at HBO or Netflix...” From E243: “Algorithms must be disclosed and you must have the option, given to you upfront, to switch your algorithm.” “There should be BYOA, bring your own algorithm. There should be an algorithm store.” “If you could say, ‘I want one that just gives me a chronological feed. I want one that is from the highest quality sources.’” “And then you should be required to show what the default algorithm is doing.” “And if you don't do that, I think you should lose your Section 230 because an algorithm is more powerful than an editor at the New York Times or an editor at HBO or Netflix deciding what we see, deciding what goes on the homepage.” “The algorithm is a black box and who knows who's controlling it, and then what happens in society when young men are pushed towards more and more fringe content, more and more dark content?” “Why not just have all this be transparent?”

"AI forces you to do the thing you should've always been doing as an artist: stop exploring what you're supposed to do, and do what you want to do. LLMs only provide a summation of what's already been said and thought. Yes, it can be recombined, but essentially, it's giving you standardized answers, and sometimes they're very good. The pressure is on creatives to further up their level of self exploration to get ahead of this machine. But if I said it, let's say I was going to write an essay on nostalgia, and I said: "Okay, AI, structure me an essay on nostalgia in the style of me." It would do a perfectly decent job, but it wouldn't be picking up on why I'm a writer, why I want to be a writer. I don't just want to be a writer to produce a certain number of words. I want to be a writer in order to honor certain feelings. AI can't know those feelings because it's not me. It doesn't know what I really want to say.” (That's a paraphrase and not an exact quote)
