I'm not stating the slippery slope fallacy doesn't exist. I'm stating it is often used as a tactic against valid arguments.

Example : If a government changes its constitution, it's very likely to lead to some sort of fascist state, because the constitution is what protects the weak from the strong. Therefore, changing anything about the constitution is inherently dangerous and we shouldn't do such things with no concrete plan and solid reasoning.

This is a valid argument. Contracts aren't modified after they have been signed like it's nothing and neither should a constitution. It would be a fallacy if it was absolute. If I were to say "Changing anything about the constitution leads to fascism therefore anyone that tries to touch it is a fascist" yeah throw your stones at me no problem. But as it is, it is a valid argument, and those kinds of arguments often get dismissed because they very obviously use the slippery slope logical argument.

The slippery slope logical argument is a fundation of logic itself : If a, then b, if b, then c, therefore if a, then c. While it may not be that simple in more complex fields, dismissing it as a fallacy without being able to point out why it doesn't work is simply going against logic. It may not work because there is a false equivalence, because b is actually a fake news, or because past experience proves that b does not tend to lead to c, but as it is, it is a logical and sound argument and unless you're able to properly tear it down you better not throw the term fallacy around like it's the ultimate answer to things you disagree with.

I'm looking for what I could only describe as a brainless FPS. A solo game with little to no stakes, that easily turns into some kind of power fantasy, that I can just pick up and drop and pick up later without having to remember anything about the story, lore, quests, etc. I'm not against high skill ceilings but I definitely don't want a game I have to 'learn'. Just me pew pew bad guys big boom things explode me happy. Big plus if it feels like an overwhelming horde that I must somehow defeat, and am given the right tools to do so (EG : Warhammer Vermintide 2 for the rare weirdos that play that game from time to time)

Edit : Just wanted to add I've played Borderlands 2 and 3 and it's kinda close to what I'm looking for but in a game where you feel more powerful, have more enemies, and no "important" storyline

I understand layers and I know the order in which they apply. I have no problem with layers as long as nothing involves a dependency.

I technically know the rules. I have read them many times, but it feels so convoluted and kind of "too organic'' to me.

Let's take the basic exemple of Urborg and Blood Moon. I understand, as per rule 613.7a, and because a) both effects apply on the same layer, b) applying one of them would change what the other applys to and c) neither effects are from CDAs, that one is dependent on the other.

So what I understand is that : "If we apply Blood Moon first, we change what Urborg applies to since Urborg becomes a mountain and loses its ability. Therefore, Urborg is dependent on Blood Moon, so we apply Blood Moon first, and Urborg will do absolutely nothing else than tapping for red mana." and "If we apply Urborg first, we don't change what Blood Moon applies to. Therefore, Blood Moon is not dependent on Urborg".

I'm pretty sure that this is right, but I'd like any clarifications you might think of because I feel like there is something I'm not understanding correctly. I don't have any real example to give right now but I feel like there must be cases in which both effects might be dependent on each other, like imagine a land that would say "all enchantments are lands" and an enchantment that would say "all lands are enchantments". Then they are both interdependent as applyng A before B would mean there are more lands that B can apply to and applying B before A would mean there are more enchantments that A can apply to. And this exemple is (stupid and) kind of basic but there must be edge cases in which it's not really clear if one is dependent on the other, or in which both are interdependent, or in which another card entering the board changes the dependencies, etc.

So if you can clearly establish that both are interdependent I'm guessing you apply them in timestamp order, but are there any cases in which it's not as clear or is this whole idea just a construction of my mind to make me dive deep into madness ?

TLDR: Give me all the information you can think of about dependencies and give it to me as if I was a child pleeeeaaase.
