I explained that the local area uses a gift economy and what that means.

I agree with Warlock here. Gift economy is a fun idea but the last thing I want to do is 5 different quests or "favors" every time I want to get some shopping done.

Obviously they're an ass in your story but they were absolutely correct about that. Why not just have currency be some vague "good will" that's semi-transferable between people but also allows gift/favors as a fallback.

On the converse, I wonder what a trans war would look like.

You do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to them though.

If there's literally anything I like about the US, it's that judges can't ding you for shit like this.

Sure, they'll kill you if you get too bad but at least your symbolic protests are protected.

Rookie mistake, they should have said they were forming an economic polycule.

The yellow paint is only really necessary in the event they aren't given enough a time in the design phase. If everything works correctly, you should be drawn towards the correct way to go by visual cues. Having the yellow paint means it's not necessary to indicate with those visual cues which make for a less planned out environment. It is at best a crutch so that game designers can focus on more important things. It should not be seen as an end to itself.

This breaks down for lots of open-world games, although the linear dungeons can absolutely still be done without the line.

Just make it in bulk and freeze it.

Some Italian seasoning in the bread is great but imo the dough isn't supposed to have much flavour. You can season it but that interferes with the rising if you do too much. Add more stuff to the sauce and you'll come out ahead in the end.

Once I turned left on a red light directly in front of a cop one time because I was running on 2 hours of sleep off a 12 hour shift. I immediately thought I was getting pulled over and put my hazards on. The cop drove by me, took a look through the window, gave me a wave, and kept on driving.

I'm sure you can guess my race.

The sheriff was sitting three feet away from me and screamed in my face for several minutes. I can’t remember a word he said. It was terrifying.

I opposed the local sheriff in a public forum once and got the exact same response. It was terrifying for the first 15 seconds but then I realized that this is just my drunk father whinging about minorities while trying not to burn the house down cooking a hot pocket. He had to leave the room to sulk so he couldn't actually do the thing he wanted to do because I kept asking him questions.

They are dangerous but realizing they're mostly angry children with guns was an enlightening experience.

JRPGS are the game equivalent of switching between reading a book and playing chess every 20 minutes. They're great on their own but the story and the gameplay may as well be entirely different forms of media.

Nier was fucking awesome but it should have been a book instead of this 15 hour game filled with fun but basic combat.
