Congnitive tests are there to detect outliers. The difference between some guy having a 50th percentile wonderlic or a 60th is not significant but when someone has a 90th percentile score you know you're dealing with someone unusually sharp and when someone gets a Lamar-tier "well, you spelled your name correctly" score you know they have some mental deficiencies.

Regardless of whatever other talents you have, being hyperintelligent is usually beneficial and being functionally illiterate is usually not. It's not that you can't have some success even as a retard, but any sort of severe deficiency, physical or mental, is a liability that may limit your upside.

Vince Young had all the physical tools but never made it over the hump, in part because he was just dumb as a bag of bricks. Kyler Murray was bottom of his class and he infamously had to have film study written into his contract because apparently he wouldn't do it otherwise. Deshaun Watson was bottom of his class and, well, we all know how that turned out. Lamar Jackson is probably the best case scenario for an outright dumb qb and his career will be defined by a chronic inability to sustain drives against good defenses in the playoffs. Stroud had a good season once and we have no idea if its sustainable. Everything people are saying about Stroud is the same shit they were saying about Watson a few years ago. If you have 11/10 athletic ability being mid IQ might not kill your career but it probably shortens it little and will manifest in some negative way at some point. If the most important player on your team is shortbus-tier, you'd at least want to know before drafting them so you can make an informed decision

>Make it so that you can't immediately transition to other areas without going through some short but still less than instantaneous animation
>Have enemies positioned at the exits.
>If you try to just run to the exit and initiate the transition animation the enemies can knock you out of it before you complete the animation so you can't change screens without eliminating the enemies near the exit
>if you just sprinted through the entire level the enemies that you ran past now have an opportunity to catch up with you and you wind up being swarmed before you can escape
>the player eventually realizes that trying to fight every enemy in the level at once is not ideal so they kill them as they progress through the level instead

Although I will say that eliminating the ability to avoid enemies completely is a "be careful what you wish for" sort of situation. Being forced into encounters you have no interest in or need for can be tedious as fuck and take the piss out of exploration or backtracking. Better to simply make the combat fun and rewarding like >>11880015 was saying. If there's an incentive to engage enemies in the form of exp or money and the combat doesn't suck most people would rather shoot than run so no need to force the issue, And besides, you can always whip out a locked room or "enemy that has to be defeated for an item" scenario every now and again to make sure people aren't just sprinting through the whole game. But being able to just say "fuck this" and run is useful and gives the player agency. I'd rather encounters be encouraged but not forced

This is the life and the world you deserve

I know this might be a taboo argument for the current FGC, but I really think at the root of SF6 problems there's the fact that execution is too simple.
Infexious' Marisa play has highlighted this to me: the moment offense is so easy everyone and their grandmas can put you in the corner with a basic ass BnB into strike/throw mix, there's no much layering going around it, especially with mechanics that enable gorilla mode like Drive Rush into easy pressure and a strike/throw mix out of a canceled blocked normal. So in this scenario the thing that becomes "harder" and arguably more exciting to do is nothing offense related, but solid neutral control, which is why lots of people loved Infexious play even if he used fucking Modern controls.
Easiness of execution relates to easiness of offense on itself, which results in what we have today.

The reason what anon says is relevant is because people think that because their system is effective within a rule based competition it will be equally effective in a self defence situation where there are no rules. That mindset has gotten many people beat up or worse on the street. It is widely acknowledged the best martial arts for real world self defence are (in no order) muay thai, judo, boxing, wrestling. Anything else is better than nothing but if you're training for a sport you're training for a sport, not self defense.

>cost per fuck analysis
>add up how much you spend on your gf in a month
>divide that figure by the number of times you had sex with your gf
>you now know how much it costs to fuck your gf
>is your gf cheaper than a whore yes/no?
If dating costs more than sex from a hooker of at least equal attractiveness to your gf then your gf's CPF is too high, you're getting ripped off.

I can explain.
You see, once upon a time, the creators of children's and family media created a concept called the "bi-modal audience."
This concept was very simple
>Parents and babysitters will all have to watch this with their kids so lets make it enjoyable for them. Lets go the extra mile and make it good enough that when kids look back, it'll still hold up with new themes they didn't get as kids! Let's make it good for everyone!
Retards saw this concept and took it to the stupidest fucking extreme imaginable.
>THIS ISN'T JUST FOR KIDS ITS FOR ADULTS! Therefore! Making the media we create center around the shit that would be typically put in for the adults and teenagers is perfectly fine! Let's center our plots around things like mental health issues, the generational cycle of trauma, coping with a flawed sense of identity, and trying to find meaning in a world which may or may not be godless!
So now, what we have isn't a kids movie but rather a self-censored movie for teens or adults that isn't truly allowed to explore themes around its subject matter or even have characters made to carry a story.
As a result, boys get cool coming of age stories about newfound hormones and emotions like Stand By Me which perfectly captures what boys are typically like around that age because it's not held back by a modern PG rating while girls get dumb self-censored shit like Turning Red.

In your 30's and especially 40's you shouldn't be competing with guys in their 20's. You're competing with the guys in your age bracket. The good thing about this is as you move up through these age brackets the percentage of men in those age brackets who lift gets smaller and smaller so you're competing with less and less people in terms of being thought of as "the fit guy/the strong guy". The contrast between "out of shape 40 year old" and "40 year old who still exercises" is much starker than it is for guys in their 20's. Also the standard you have to achieve to get that "fit/strong guy" title is lower as generally no-one expects a guy above 40 to be in the same shape as a guy half his age (outside of actors who get paid to do it). So young guys who may be bigger and stronger and leaner will still respect you in a "you're in good shape for your age" way, to which you reply "thanks, I just do some dumbbells a few times a week". Add this to all the medically proven benefits of lifting weights for older people and you can't lose.

I agree with some of what you say but I like the movie because it follows the logical apocalyptic sequence of events that would occur within the context of Romero's zombie movies.
>Night: the early stages of the outbreak
>Dawn: civilization is in chaos and starting to fall
>Day: civilization has fallen, the pockets of humanity that survived the chaos are doing the best they can to survive, arguably only delaying the inevitable
>Land: the pockets of humanity start to fall to the overwhelming zombie horde
I'm not saying Land is a good zombie movie or one of the best installments in Romeros zombie movie series (I like Day the most). I wouldn't say any of Romeros other zombie movies are "great" movies either. It's the story overall story arc that I really like and Romero told the best zombie story arc. Land plays it's part in telling that story arch.

>do they think life is just DnD and you can only spec into one role or class in life?
Todays young people are so silo'd in their interests they have trouble comprehending that people can do an activity without it being their sole defining characteristic. You can play videogames without being a "gamer", you can lift weights without being a "gymbro", you can listen to "genre of music" without wearing "clothing associated with genre of music". Being interested in something shouldn't define you, it's just something you're interested in doing.
