    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    The mobs don't scale with your level but levels really don't get you a lot on their own. Level give you a tiny bit more HPs. Your real power comes from skill points and gear, and most skills don't directly scale your damage either. But I felt like I did absolutely no damage on Very Hard until...

    Ukraine really doesn't matter at all. If Germany has a fuel crisis, that's still probably good medium-term for the US. But if China moved on Taiwan the market is fucked, tech is basically over. Can't have tech without chips to run it on.

    The *average* human was definitely smarter thousands of years ago, because you needed to be more intelligent just to survive. Once humans invented things like bricks and bread and plumbing, you could survive even if you were pretty stupid. However, due to having billions of people now, the...

    A large share of early internet packets were devoted to dicks and tits. In fact, until Netflix and Youtube came along, porn was the largest single usage of internet bandwidth by a large margin.

    I'd much rather have an economy with 5%+ inflation and stonks going up 15%+ a year than an economy with 3% inflation and stonks tanking 5% a year. I don't understand why people think it's that bad to have 5% sustained inflation. The 80s were fucking great.

    Those numbers don't match other data I'm seeing, and regardless, those numbers still don't add up to a 3 dollar difference in gas prices per gallon between California and Rhode Island.

    57.66 cents in Cali vs 35.12 cents in RI. What's funny is that gas taxes in CT are actually 10 cents lower per gallon (25 cents) than in RI, yet gas prices are like 40 cents higher in CT. It's just price gouging. The gas stations and gas companies will charge what people are willing to pay.

    Yeah it's like $3.30 here in RI, $3.60 if you go to the price-gougy places. Was higher than this during the Bush administration. I remember paying over $4.00 a gallon for home heating oil during the Bush administration, where I just bought 200 gallons under $2.70.

    You could just not spend the skill points. Otherwise, each level just gives you +10 hitpoints. It's not like an MMO where you have damage multipliers vs things that are lower level than you.

    Anyone think the enemies are way too bulletspongy on Very Hard? Thinking about doing custom difficulty and just turning down the enemy health to Hard. Having to shoot a Widemaw in it's tusk 12 times just to get the tusk to fall off so I could upgrade my bow was more than a little frustrating...

    Hasbro on the whole is incredible at brand management though. Maybe instead of a spinoff, they should just stop making toys and just license the toy IPs to other manufacturers, and then pivot to being a digital gaming and brand company.
