Shhh... it's okay. You are as Dr. Yakub made you.


My hot take is that BPD only exists in the DSM because psychologists can't just give someone a diagnosis of "this person is a huge rear end in a top hat, they can't help it, and will never change"

Source: my sister has BPD

I mean "Watch out! This person is a specific brand of incorrigible rear end in a top hat" is pretty much what all personality disorder diagnoses are, right?

Come to think of it, I think Dragon Age uses the real time with pause thing too.

So do the pillars of eternity and pathfinder games, though most of those have a fully turn based option.

Rtwp made good sense for BG1 because low level 2e DnD combat didnt have much tactical depth. A lot of your party was just going to do exactly the same thing for most combat rounds in the game: swing or shoot (usually just one time) at the enemy, with a pretty high chance to miss. This is especially true in the early game, where your casters have very limited memorization.

By BG2, RTWP was pretty clearly holding crpgs back.

I'm kinda torn on whether this even is a hot take.

Like, in a user-by-user context, it clearly is a hot take. Your average online mom forum person isn't nearly as terrible as an incel forum poster.

But, in terms of damage to society as a whole???

My understanding is that kids still use the green text thing to identify other kids for bullying, thus creating organic marketing for kids that might create lifetime customers. As long as that's true, Apple will fight any attempt to get rid of the green texts.

Yeah kids bullying is one big part. The online dating world has its own version of that, a small cadre of loud assholes who don't date green text people (on the assumption Android users are poor).

The number of folks actually screening this way is probably negligible, but you don't have to actually run into one yourself to have the idea you might be getting filtered by your choice of phone enter your head.

This reminded me of a hot take I used to see in like '05-'06: Gays against Gay Marriage.

A small number of online gay dudes strongly against legalizing gay marriage, because it was straight assimilation/colonization.

I always assumed it was dudes who knew that if marriage was legal their main partner would be pushing them for it and had been relying on it just staying illegal forever, lol.
