To be fair, the original question did not clearly state it needed to be easy to explain to men. The only requirement was to be difficult to explain to women. So, technically, this answers the question as written.

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.

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!

A lesser known multiplayer game that’s less co-op and more competitive fun is ultimate chicken horse. It’s a super silly game where everyone compete platform style to reach the end of a stage, but each round everyone places another trap. It can get pretty funny pretty quick!

Recommend using the in game cheat to unlock all stages so there’s more variety right away

Ohhhh this one is painful

After a long coffee journey, i gave my keurig away for free after i landed on my chemex. Absolutely love it! Unfortunately my 12 cup broke in the washing machine after 8 years or so :( i just bought a new one and I’m unsurprisingly still very happy with it.

I’ve heard this! Apparently, he was researching why beer was spoiling, and he had done no research on milk whatsoever.

I’m not sure how i feel about the post altogether. I mean, i understand that toxic masculinity is bad, but this post needs some assumptions and context to make me want to side with it. For example, if I saw some guy just kinda minding his business doing silly guy stuff and the context was he wants to “feel like a man,” i don’t think i would be offended or concerned?

r/justguysbeingdudes comes to mind

I only like the albums they did with dave grohl on drums, the rest just don’t seem to hit for me.

I’m pretty sure that’s only songs for the deaf and a few songs on like clockwork. I can’t get into any of their other stuff.

I think they’re saying this:

Family meals would comprise of three restaurants worth of people since they’re all immortal

Separately, you can never retire since you will never hit retirement age

You know, that’s the first thing that caught my attention, and it’s actually kind of bothering me. I now want to pronounce it “ootopian” to make it work, but it’s just so wrong.

Not going to lie to you, this is exactly what i did :)

It’s from God emperor of dune, i think it’s the fourth book in the series by publication, but not chronologically.

I guess this might be a spoiler if they eventually make it a movie, but basically, the son of Paul merges himself with a sand worm and becomes effectively immortal. It’s both interesting and bizarre.

There’s a lot more to it than that but i don’t want to ruin the story for anyone

That’s interesting, guess i wasn’t tracking that closely enough. Thank you!

Ah, wasn’t aware, thanks!

I thought it was India and South Africa, not Iran and Saudi Arabia

I did a quick Google search, and I’m guessing miso is the ulcer treatment misoprostol that you shouldn’t take during pregnancy. A d and c is a dilation and cutterage, an invasive surgical procedure that removes something from the uterus. In this instance the something was a nonviable pregnancy that went awry from possibly the medication (or other factors).

Admittedly i was also confused about miso, and immediately thought soup? I was extremely incorrect
