Oh I don’t think I have your fortitude to engage anymore.

A regen buff you mean?

I can’t tell if it’s low reading comprehension or just bad faith. Either isn’t complimentary.

There’s a special kind of people here that have kind of dumb takes, then will disagree with you by contradicting themselves and then claim you’re the one saying the stupid thing they stated in the first place. It’s really tiring.

The first few hours can be pretty brutal, but once you get over that hump it’s really compelling.

I think their assessment of difficulty is absolute bonkers.

It is an interesting location for sure

I sincerely hope I don't make it 'til then

People love to believe people with beards that also give off weird vibes are actual geniuses we should listen to.

yeah I think the bounce rate might be very high

maybe with people having paid for the game now, as opposed to playing for free, might mean that they'll persist a little longer though

I really don't know. I was so intrigued by it that I ended up being won over, so who knows.

both, separately

like earl grey is apparently not basic tea, and Twinings is very "middle class" (which I learned was definitely not just "average class").

As someone else wrote those, he comes from a very blue collar city.

Personally I'm not a fan of locking the good bits behind a git gud filter. That's what got me to bounce out of Destiny, and why I just never got into 2.

I don't mind the transitory part though. Ultimately that's what skill trees do, and many games have those.

:)

and incidentally talking about the class dynamics stuff is what led us to talk about the tea ;)

He's based in Newcastle

Yeah that's what he was basically saying.

It's just a bit surprising to me given that it's a huge international brand and can sometimes be the only English brand available you'll find in a supermarket (outside the UK).

I think this says a lot about how the game is built so you can only truly experience it once you've fully levelled up.

It's a tall order too - will everyone be able to reach the ship given how they focus a lot of the content towards elite players?

exxxxxtra posh tea there

I think they must self combust near Fortnum tea

Yes. It's definitely not good.

Please tell Richard next time you guys sync and vindicate me. <3

Lipton is what I drink when my hotel sucks, and only then. I mean... :(

He lives in Newcastle - he mentioned one brand I don't know, and PG, as the expected workers' tea. And I was like you: "Twinings, really? and earl grey specifically? That thing I buy in bulk at the supermarket to make kombucha?"

I don’t want to judge but they absolutely sound like an abomination.

I just think of it as an effective reminder to be mindful of current and future life choices. It doesn’t have to correlate with ease of finding opportunities. That would be nice though.

Whenever people mention being on the clock before retirement, with a limited number of projects left in them, and me just nodding, staring into the middle distance.

I had that done to me, from the moment a friend I was with saw people he knew, and well past the moment he introduced me to them. Pure magic. I turned into the invisible woman.
