Instead of ASMR people should just masturbate like normal people.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

ASMR is made more confusing because a portion of the ASMR community clearly has some weird sexual shit going on. Lots of videos of attractive women whispering role-play scenarios.

That cancer is ASMR like sultry women on Twitch with low-cut shirts and high angled cameras are streaming. It's always going to be easy to collect views with titillation when you can show off for hormone-addled teenagers and idiots, no matter the venue.

Why?

It's a lot less complicated

Every time I read that acronym I can't help but think it's a contraction of the name of that kid from Undertale

Also, might just be me but the Wikipedia talk page for this thing is kind of amusing

ASMR, the Absolute God of Hypereuphoria.

One of my friends gets ASMR from some electronic music. That seems pretty cool. I don't get it but I'm jealous of some of the people with it.

Music in general is how I first experienced it, tied in with very basic meditative practice -- for a good number of years I actually thought that kind of full body tingle was (at least one of) the point(s) of meditation, heh. Relatively sure before the acronym even started being a thing, though certainly well over a decade before I first encountered the shorthand.

Personally find it pretty easy to just induce with a breathing shift at this point, and have for probably a good ten or twelve years or thereabouts. Sometimes not even that. S'just a nice sensation, really. Physiological feedback for certain mental and/or physical states. Kinda' like a good stretch, just... not.

Why is it that only a few MMO's had the genius idea of instead of making some status effects useless against bosses and special enemies?

To instead inflict them with a lesser version of it.

I honestly don't know why it is so rare... Especially since games with characters BASED on status effects still exist.

Then again instant death doesn't work on bosses in most Shin Megami games, and side games like Persona, but at the same time ordinary enemies can be outright deadly! and instant kills against those that are weak against it can be a life savor. Yet this stands as an exception.

I actually remember a "Balance mod" for final fantasy tactics I have... The Oracle who was just wretched before (well outside a few moves) was suddenly amazing! Which is good because the game replaces the Oracle with a Super Oracle anyhow (who is the Oracle in everyway except better).

The Balance mod is rather interesting and actually makes the game way more fun to play (mostly because you get a selection of great classes. Rather then... like... a few). Double bonus monsters are all genuinely useful! (rather then... I think two)... Though the balance does kind of go both ways at times. The CPU no longer is crippled because it has a bunch of summoners.

Another really fun one I've seen a (very) few times is having various status effects (or specific spells/damage types; breath of fire actually did that a bit for a few of its games) cause bosses to go through a state change. They still have full effectiveness, but it may turn a relatively docile boss into something of a nightmare, or just switch it up so it takes very different tactics to deal with or whatev'. Always liked that one, and you can even bundle instakill effects into it, turn some bosses into specifically triggered matryoshka monsters or somethin'. Don't think I've seen that, but it'd be neat to see it. Break the zone eater and it turns into a stone zone eater, ready for revenge :3

... then break that, and it splits a buncha' angry pebble zone eaters. Stuff like that. Folks should do that more.

Just finished reading Blindsight.
I picked it up last night at 10PM when my internet went down and only stopped to sleep for a few hours.
That was quite the book, and has topped me full up of WTF's.

Borderlands 2 has Goliaths. Like everything else in the game, they take critical damage if you shoot them in the head. Unlike everything else in the game, when shot in the head, they go berserk, heal fully, and get way swole.

At what point did my opinions start being treated as completely worthless around here?

[Amperzand]

At what point did your opinions start being treated as completely worthless around here? 

[Frumple]

Never?

... though I can't help but see the possibility of a trap in that. If your opinion is that your opinions are being considered worthless, disagreement could be interpreted as considering your opinions worthless, even if that's not what's actually going on. When both agreement and disagreement reinforces the point, it's bad juju

no

validation is not what i seek, and traps are for trolls and similar
