- Comment on Why is #FFFFFF white, but mixing red green and blue paint is black? 6 days ago:
A good way to get experience with the subtractive system would be to use watercolors, markers, or dip pens with ink, since those are transparent.

I suppose that depends on if you have consent 🤷♀️
- Comment on Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding 2 weeks ago:
One of my all time favorite games is Cultist Simulator, but I’ll admit it’s not for everyone. If you like puzzle type games and don’t mind learning about the world by reading lots of little snippets of flavor text, it’ll be right up your alley.
Also definitely check out Rogue (the og) and the first wave of games inspired by it. The meta-progression stuff is kind of a new wave thing.
As for newer games, Balatro is really popular right now if you’re into more ‘puzzle roguelikes’. Most of the things you unlock make the game harder rather than easier, or give you a different angle from which to play the game. There are a handful of things you have to unlock via meta-progression, but so far they seem pretty unintrusive.

aww, too bad, if you were good enough you could have beaten the game, but let’s make it a little easier
Yeah, that’s pretty awful game design. Most of the ones i’ve played didn’t feel like that, usually you’d unlock new classes or something (I.e. sidegrades) or unlock harder difficulties.
And of course my favorite ones don’t have any meta progression whatsoever, the only progression comes from you learning about the game.

Most of the roguelikes that I really enjoy had unlocks that made the game harder, not easier. At best, the unlocks offer new builds, making the game easier in one respect but harder in others, giving you a new angle on things.
But then again, most of the ones I play are puzzle/strategy/deckbuilder type games. Kind of a genre of its own these days. (FTL, Slay the Spire, Cultist Simulator, Balatro, etc)
- Comment on Should longer hair be handled by salons or male barbers? 3 weeks ago:
Many salons do men’s and women’s hair, most barbershops only do men’s. So I would think a salon (choose one that does both)

Why would you wish for that

Different kinds of quality. Cgi quality, acting quality

Facts! But I also use recycled tp, because I still gotta pat dry.
Will probably switch to towels tho
- Comment on Why there is no clock that displays time 4:20:69 ? 3 weeks ago:
You should make one. It can’t be that hard to throw together a simple script that displays the time, and then add logic for the specific behavior you want.

… and somehow they still get butts in seats and lots of people enjoy them.
People want to see the cutting-edge cgi. In that sense it absolutely is qualityslop.

I unironically like shakespeare, but yeah, there is an element of inertia to his popularity.
- Comment on Schlip schlop 4 weeks ago:
Like that, except you do like them, mostly because you walk away feeling like you experienced a “good film.”
- Comment on Schlip schlop 4 weeks ago:
Imo It’s good but not worth the hype. But i’ve never had the good stuff (And never will, now that I don’t eat meat)
- Comment on Schlip schlop 4 weeks ago:
Oh, sure. Not debating that. But it’s popular because it’s seen as fancy.
- Comment on Schlip schlop 4 weeks ago:
You know how some restaraunts have a reputation for serving “good food” (I.e. gourmet food), but just because it’s fancier food it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll actually like it more?
So, what are some foods that people only like because they’re fancy? (I’d argue caviar is one)
Same idea, but for movies. What are some movies that people only like because they’re seen as being “good movies”?
- Comment on Schlip schlop 4 weeks ago:
I think I know what OOP means here. Films that people only like because they’re “good movies.”
I think the Avatar films fall into this category, as do most of the “Oscar bait” movies.

“Road Work Ahead” by Drew Gooden, obviously. Truly a legend.

I definitely did feel a little out of place around men, and many of my friends were women (even before my egg cracked). Uneasy is probably the wrong word, more just like an outsider.
I definitely wouldn’t make the claim “men are not that well socialized” (although that may well be true - but I couldn’t speak to that purely from my own experience)

As a trans girl, I can confidently say that I have a much easier time hanging out with girls I just met than I ever had hanging out with guys I just met. Although both do happen and aren’t too uncommon.

Last time I used Fetlife it seemed pretty dead. But maybe I could give it another try?
Or maybe I’ll finally meet some people irl 🤣

Where does one find one of these? Asking for a friend

Wow. That’s… so uncommon it’s literally hard to fathom. Congrats to your wife on finding such a good place to work!

Wow. Where the heck does your wife work, wall street?

My boss took everyone to dinner this week. Granted, there are about two dozen people in the whole organization, but still, it was really generous of her.
- Comment on Nat 20 2 months ago:
Honestly probably not that serious. Even in their myths/stories, the oracle would tell great doom and then no one would listen. I expect they got inspiration for that from somewhere.

The irony is that you are also cornposting.
