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

Hey I understand where you’re coming from. I also believe that’s one of the areas the sequel can improve upon. With a bigger team and budget, hopefully we’ll get that

I remember playing the first one when it was just available for early access and the gameplay was understandably rough. I played a little bit and then forgotten about until last year when there were some buzz about it again. I brushed off the dust and got to experience such an immersive medieval world. 10/10 in my book

He tends to do that, I would know

Ah it’s like reuniting with old friends

This guy never misses

That was painful to watch. I usually try to keep an open mind with these clips as we don’t have much context to go on but whether or not this was staged, it was really toxic and sad to see

Feng Shui is just an ancient Chinese way of saying “A E S T H E T I C S”

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

Sometimes you get tired of sitting in a chair all day. Especially if you don’t work from home

Ready to cry and be confused again

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

Man… I hope he’s up there getting the best stew going 😭

I used to when I was in my teens, when 4chan wasn’t as “well known” by so many people. It was definitely wild then. Now I don’t really have the desire to browse there or anywhere else besides Lemmy

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
