While I’m not familiar with the practices of Tai Chi and its history, I am familiar with the stories and mysticism of “inner” martial arts and chi due to my cultural background. I’ve always been fascinated with martial arts and kung fu, and have recently taken up karate and its cultural histories. I also have a degree in kinesiology and will agree that the human body is such a complex and fascinating subject. The word “chi” or “ki” literally means air or in the context of martial arts, breath, and I will associate it as such. In every martial arts that I’ve seen, breathing is always a subject in the forefront. But as far as listening to tall tale stories and feats that chi can achieve, I always smile and nod but take it with a grain of salt

Probably none of that, since a ring is made for a finger. It probably magically detects if it has made contact with one. Now, if the question was what if it was put on a severed finger, then that is something to think about

Ah it’s like reuniting with old friends

My face every time I get banished from my community after saving it

Really cool to see a new IP from Capcom and it being an aesthetically pleasing defense tower game is interesting and takes me back to the Onimusha/Okami/Viewful Joe days

Probably because MMO is not the trending buzz word for execs and shareholders. Plus you got an example of a successful live service game (Helldivers 2). Doubtful that these are the type of people to be in touch with what people actually wants

PRIMORDIAL GOOD BOY

That’s so you, so U’Nique

Since there are so many bands and music that made me cry, I’ll share a recent one that made an impression and was the album of the year 2023 on me was Blue Rev by Alvvays. Give it a shot if you love indie rock

I’m glad he didn’t, and honestly why would he?

Hmm that’s something that I might try out, as I have tinnitus for one of my ears

Even when there’s an alien invasion, people would still be slaves to their jobs 😔

I finally finished it close to the end of last year and let me tell you, the last few quests were just so bloated. I honestly think the weakest point of the game was towards the end. Not story wise but gameplay wise. It felt like a gauntlet of will to finish

GameCube was the Nokia of the gaming consoles. Actually, it probably still is.

I would go out on a limb and say it’s probably the joys of traveling and discovering things along the way. The Bethesda “magic” is their approach in open world game design. In almost every corner, there’s something interesting to discover (side quests, well crafted environment, and characters). When you take that away and replace it with just mundane fast traveling, loading screens, and procedurally generated empty maps, then you get Starfield. It’s a Bethesda game missing that Bethesda “magic”

Gotcha, sadly, these are some people’s sentiment regarding AAA studios. Modders are a blessing but then these companies find ways to exploit the passion of their community and fans.

Let’s not give developers the habit of relying on modders to finish their games. I’m tired of studios releasing half ass games

Ugh, this would’ve been me but I succumbed to covid in April this year due to being at a wedding… The one time I didn’t wear my mask 😷

Silly boomers, your views of how the world works is just as outdated as the iOS versions of your phones which you barely know how to operate.
