How many hit points had the Pope, an high level archpriest? he was sick, so he definitely wasn’t at max hp, but he fumbled that roll hard.
- Comment on What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good? 2 weeks ago:
I dearly miss Playnite on Linux. Having Games from a lot of different sources, only Lutris supports more than Steam/Epic/GoG, and it’s missing a lot of features from Playnite and it’s plugins. Managing my Gamelibrary without it sucks.
- Comment on Woah, there's a cool little spider on my wall. I wonder what it's called? 3 weeks ago:
i am befuddled - just a few moments ago i took a glance at the image preview and thought i saw a chocolate cookie, and was very freaked out that it was a spider body when i took a closer look.
hmm maybe a good time to finally go to sleep (damn nightmares, they make me fear the nighttime)
- Comment on Do you use your blinker in a car? 3 weeks ago:
as a pedestrian i have to say that i never use my blinker.
joke aside, there’s not much that aggravates me more than drivers not using their signals when they can turn either left or right, but cannot continue forward, like near the street i live in that i frequently have to cross. since they HAVE to turn, i have to wait for them to either remember that they have turn signals, or wait until they have enlightened me about their decision by making them a fact.
don’t be an ass, use your turn signals to make your intentions known for the weaker parties on the road.
- Comment on Anon gets outed 3 weeks ago:
I agree that there are vile men out there who still have sexual partners, but as is the case with all statistics, they can be true even if they can’t say anything regarding a single case. Those hateful people also are more preying on vulnerable women than having relationships, and statistically those men are seen as not desirable by women.
I believe that someone who does not want to have sex will have his or her reasons, and even if they don’t have one, it’s still fine for me, and i can understand where they are coming from. I, for example, had a lot of chronic pain since my teenage years, coming from a broken home where noone gave a fuck about me. With chronic pain you get depression (which is feeding back into the chronic pain, which is especially ugly), and depression, pain and antidepressants result in no desire for sex, especially when combined over decades. So, i am not one to judge someone by the number of their sexual partners, but i do judge behavior.

lol i didn’t have sex for the last 6 years involuntarily (because of medical reasons) and i still don’t spout the bullshit that incels do. like i said, it does not have anything to do with having sex or not, other than that vile men don’t get pussy.
- Comment on Anon gets outed 3 weeks ago:
thats because self defined incels are awful people, especially regarding their online conduct. That absolutely makes “incel” a valid descriptor for people who behave like one - spreading misogynist bullshit, fantasizing about alpha males and jawlines and having a very “black and white” worldview, coupled with a tendency to glorify authoritarian society and being awful to anyone not fitting in their simply wrong pseudoscientifical “there are only 2 genders” and “homosexuality and transness are a mental disease” lies.
Incel is absolutely legit as an insult when someone behaves like one. The focus does NOT lie on virginity at all, but on a mindset.
- Comment on Suggestions for mouse only games? 3 weeks ago:
If you want an alternative to Slay the Spire i can recommend Monster Train; you mainly summon different Hellspawn and cast spells, which gives it more of an Magic the Gathering feel.
If you want an ARPG fix and have thumb buttons on your mouse you can try Chronicon, don’t let the gfx stop you, it’s an excellent hack&slash game, and you can put all your skills onto 1 button if you like - i use the middle and the right button for most builds and thumb keys for pots
If you want a new spin on Darkest Dungeon, give Iratus - Lord of the Dead a try. Or if you played a lot of Darkest Dungeon and want more of it, try Black Reliquary, a huge (and free!) mod with a lot of new mechanics!
Going into the same direction as Into the Breach is Shotgun King - the final Checkmate. It’s really fun and the higher difficulties really make your brains work out. Workshop support with lots of extra content included! Also great for Turn-based Tactics is Invisible Inc., putting you in control of an spy agency which has been hit hard and tries to recover.
For arcade games i can recommend Utopia must fall - it really captures the spirit of old arcade games, but feels real fresh. You can also go for Nova Drift, which is also an excellent arcade game.
Then there is Cultist Simulator and its spiritual successor, Book of Hours. It’s basically a card based riddle game, and very atmospheric.
There is always Shattered Pixel Dungeon - it is also available on Steam or Gog, but you can download and play it for free from the link i provided.
I think your collarbone might have healed until you’ve finished that list, have fun!
- Comment on He's just eccentric 1 month ago:
Ok, but it is no secret that there are people with autism that have severe difficulties with basically every task, while there are autistic people who can live their lives with manageable symptoms, and then there are autistic people who have talents neurotypical people can only dream of. I would not call them levels, but there must be a system to discern between those groups, and if it isn’t one that is quick and easy, it will probably not be used by the large majority of people. I know that Asperger’s is not ok anymore to use, but every other system will have to discern the 3 different groups, or am I mistaken?

i run nobara (a fedora spinoff) for a few months now, and it’s a great experience, i learn a lot about how the os works and it’s all visible! i feel like i modded my pc into a transparent machine - i can read up about simply every part of the os. i freakin love it :-D and all this while i can use it as before.
my last experience with linux was debian jessie - i was not so happy with that, and after i landed in dependency hell for the first time, i switched back. nowadays, with flatpaks and appimages, all those issues i was having in normal operation are gone.

now that you mention it, i am similar to you; i cannot remember shit. i remember singular moments that are burned in, and the rest is like i watched a movie at 10x speed, like a smear. my childhood was traumatic too. my memories get clearer at about 21, but it’s still just singular moments and the rest is like a blank.

- Comment on brain blowing orgasms 2 months ago:
It is definitely more successful than the previous strategy in one of the ancestors was (or else it wouldn’t have been selected for), and mutations that reduce the dementia and allow for more reproductive cycles seen to negatively influence reproduction in either fitness or number of the offspring or chance of successful reproduction, so the trait persists.
Since this is a numbers game, even miniscule differences in reproductive success (which isn’t clearly measurable in the wild) have a large impact on genetic drift.
Since the origin of the current behavior lies in the past, it might not be possible to see what evolutionary pressure induced the behavior in the first place.

- Comment on Resident Evil 2 remake has sold fewer than 10,000 copies on iOS, estimates suggest 3 months ago:
I fully agree and just wand to add my suspicion that people in the Apple ecosystem are a pretty tough crowd to sell a Resident Evil title to begin with. Most gamers I know would never buy an Apple PC if they have a choice, and the overlap between “serious” gaming and Android is probably a lot stronger.
(I hear a faint echo of “Don’t you guys have phones?” in this.)

- Comment on Anon goes on a first date 3 months ago:
But if I watched TV every evening for 2 hours before sleep, and don’t share that on a first date, would that still be “deceptive”? Well, a lot of people would say thats harldy shareworthy at all. But if it’s Minecraft it suddendly is?
- Comment on Anon goes on a first date 3 months ago:
dude, nothing wrong with playing 2 hours of vidya per day if it’s balanced out, thats about 12% of the available time of a day if you sleep 8 hours.
I don’t get it why gaming still has so much pushback. If he said he watches one overlength movie every day in the evening, there wouldn’t be any discussion here 🙄
