Similar here - The grip League of Legends has on people is terrifying.

I got a handful of houseplants that I've kept alive for years (one close to a decade) and I'm not sure its really done anything for me.

I initially read this as ellie-fien-no and missed the joke until I reread it.

This little drummer boy who would just NOT stop playing

Mine was day ~75.

The RNG finally started to loosen its grip around day 60 because it started giving me items and rooms I had never seen before that, as it turns out, were pretty essential.

The RNG beat me up too. I will say that there's a handful of permanent upgrades that either allow you to mitigate some RNG or give you buffs so you're not as reliant on it.

I think their goal was to make it so you're not hardlocked on a single puzzle so that you kind of wander into the manor without a specific puzzle to solve and see what you can solve/find as your tools for that run expand.

This kind of makes hours 0-10 kind of miserable because you don't know what puzzles there are and you don't have much you can do to avoid RNG so you're just wandering and hoping for the best, but it does get better after that point.

Plastic and social media.

No - Its a vision or something where she sees herself if she gave in to the dark side.

I think its (usually) a bad idea in that its very hard to outdo the original. Often times games don't quite nail what makes the original work and changes to the formula usually aren't consequential enough to matter. Sometimes its great for a stagnant or platform locked genre though.

I consider a game a 'rip-off' if it blindly follows mechanics or the art style in an attempt to get the player to buy in thinking its whatever game its trying to copy. That is you're not trying to sell it based on what it does differently or the game itself, but merely piggybacking another game's design and marketing.

Games that are inspired by other games, even if they are pretty similar, are totally OK. (Stardew Valley or Lords of the Fallen for example)

There's a place that sells a 44 ounce iced coffee which is great if you need an action surge and/or second wind without getting a long rest.

Yeah, the point of this comic is less about people buffing their favorite class (though people do tend to lean towards that) and more about people generally thinking 'balanced' means everything is equal.

Though the man in the purple shirt is definitely wanting to get rid of the advantages rogues have on mages... The mages symbol also being purple lol.

There should be more mature games.

I don't mean like sex games, I mean like games intended for adults that can have mature content and mature stories without it being heavily watered down.

Games should have as much leeway as the film or book industry when it comes to mature content - Though I guess that's getting murky too lately.
