Yes, but even then you should be referring to a single instance of driving to and from work. If you’re speaking generally, you would still use “costs” because that implies an ongoing situation.
“On Thursday, it cost $70 to drive to work” would be appropriate.
I think that the commenter is referring to the grammar. It should read “it costs,” not “it cost.” It makes it seem like they are referring to a very specific previous drive, but that context isn’t provided here
I think they meant literally, “it cost” as in past tense. If you’re referring to a specific, previous event, then it makes grammatical sense. But it sounds like he’s comparing the cars generally, so it sounds more appropriate to say “it costs”
2·2 months agoThat’s not my dad! That’s a sail boat!
Interesting stuff thanks for adding. I added an edit to address. Appreciate you chiming in
Totally fair, lots of folks have chimed in about it. Really interesting to see it’s over 100 years old (although more focused on ideal partner, not avoiding being creepy)
That’s really interesting, thanks for sharing!
Just for a little context, the minimum age being ((your age / 2)+7) is meant to be “this is the minimum age of someone you can date without it being creepy” (i believe it originated from the TV show how i met your mother)
If you were born in 1994 you are either 30 or 31. Let’s call it 30 for easy math.
30/2 = 15 15+7=22
So anyone who is 22 or older fits the minimum age concept, which is anyone born in approx 2002/2003 or earlier. If you decided to include that, the extra 4-5 years does increase the dating pool quite a bit.
I’m not telling you who to date, just giving a little context to the math since that’s what was brought up in the original comment.
Edit: Lots of folks chiming in with some really good insight about the history of the math. Thank you all for that!
Although the historical accounts seem to be math for the “ideal age” in a (probably female) partner and not “minimum age before it’s creepy” as it was presented in HIMYM, it’s really interesting to see how that equation has been used for over 100 years!
Reminds me of this
Totally agree with this. It’s hard to find a good roaster that isn’t charging a lot for beans now, but when you find one, it crushes anything you can buy in the store.
Even buying beans in local coffee shops, if they aren’t roasting them, you could be buying beans that have been stale for months!
I think it’s probably a typo caused by AI and a lack of editing. As i understood it, a micro retirement is taking between several months and a year long sabbatical after 1-2 years of working, which is a bit more interesting than 1-2 weeks. So basically, it’s working 1 year and taking a break from work for 1 year (whatever that entails, personal project, travel, possibly doing nothing at all).
It looks like 3 actually have advertisement under them. Gross
6·5 months agoI was actually waiting for this one, well played
6·5 months agoDidn’t Japan hit Oregon in ww2
2·6 months agoYeah but D4 is designed to be an MMO and is open world, where last epoch is linear. It’s hard to try to bake in the exact same mechanics when the games are so different
Additionally, that’s a minor aspect of d4. For each alt i need to run around to every region and do all these side quests to get reputation points, and i need to do it in each difficulty. I have to do it multiple times, whereas i don’t really need to do that in last epoch.
I’ll reiterate that if you try the skips as designed it’ll be close to what you want. But i agree that it needs improving. D4 is an objectively much worse game than LE; i absolutely do not think that LE should strive to be more like it.
How much have you actually played both games?
I’m not entirely sure what you’re requesting then. The end game monoliths start at level 58, and the lowest level I’ve been able to complete them without dying repeatedly is level 30 or so. The campaign skips start at level 20, and give passive and idol slots. Are you asking for the game to just start your alternates at level 60? I’m not following.
Additionally, once you unlock your mastery at the end of time, you can just go straight to the end game monoliths on a second character - there’s literally nothing stopping you from doing this.
As it stands, you can skip 3/4 of the story if you use the current method. Now that you can skip dungeons and go straight to the dungeon boss, you are easily able to bypass a ton of story, and fairly quickly. I have 6 characters in this season, and i did the campaign skip on each one. You can get past the entire campaign in about 90 minutes with this method now, which doesn’t seem too bad you me. You also get passive points and idol slots for completing the skips. You can actually skip almost straight from the first major part of the ruined era (level 20) all the way to the level 50 era in a matter of minutes. If you’re geared up for this, go for it!
When i said i was contesting it, i was conceding to you that i somewhat agree with the skip function needing improvements. That being said, I do think as they’re adding general game improvements, it is making the idea of having alternate characters much better and easier.
There actually is a campaign skip. It’s baked into the map via the dungeons (and you can skip to boss now with charms), but you can skip two thirds of it on a second playthrough.
I’ll contest that i think the skip function needs a little work but it does exist
You may enjoy Last Epoch. It definitely scratches that itch for me, and is a bit more entertaining than TL imo
I would say it’s really not about reflexes at all, and it’s actually timing based dodge mechanics. Anyone who says reflexes is incorrect imo. Good reflexes can allow you to avoid learning the mechanics, but that’s really it.
I’ll give you an example:
While driving in the USA, at a red light at a four way intersection, the stoplight will typically turn green after a certain amount of time. Each stoplight is different, and assuming there are no other indicators, trying to go exactly when it turns green is a reflex (unless you memorize every stoplight pattern in the country).
In Europe, when stopped at a red light, it will actually give you a yellow light before the green, giving you an indication that a green light is proceeding. It’s no longer reflexes and is now timing based, which is more predictable.
Expedition 33 is the latter timing based situation. Some enemies are more frustrating than others, but they typically telegraph their moveset (that you learn over time) and then you try to time a dodge or parry. For the first hour or two of gameplay it’s more important because your stats are low, but as you progress it becomes less critical.
To summarize, you really don’t need good reflexes, and you don’t need to nail the dodge mechanics to play and love it! It’s just helpful to dodge a few times when possible, and once you learn it it’s actually quite gratifying i think.
