Is ram really failing? I see those shitty trucks spewing black smog everywhere around here.

Did ya’ll ever implement a more realistic reaction set to executing people? Always thought it was odd that my faction would suddenly hate me for executing the asshole king who had been raiding us for decades, killed my spouse/kids, ate the last grape, and then decided to burn villages to the ground.
Anyway, let us know when the dlc goes on sale for <$5.

Yeah, this would be it for me. If my partner didn’t want to have sex, fine, not a big deal. But if my partner didn’t want to sit next to me and lean on me? If my partner didn’t want to hold hands or hug me from behind while I’m cooking? If I didn’t get a sudden jump into my lap and an insistent plead for a shoulder rub?
Those would break me. Even for the folks who don’t want to admit it, there is a driving need for intimacy, and sex just often sort of fits that need or is used to mask it.

You have to act like the father figure, and best to do it in a way he can’t turn down.
So pay his fucking college bills, dumbass!

How’d you get them to activate abilities? I could see a set up where you train them to turn left or right in reaction to something on the screen. Install a mod to make the health bar take up 25% of the screen, and then activate heals based on them turning left, activate damage abilities when they turn right. Train them to turn left if the bar starts dropping, right if it rises.

Look, the sex license sold by the government was really expensive. How else were they going to give him a brother?

Why blur out the name when everyone knows the user already? It would be like referencing the blahaj/dragonrider drama and blurring out dragonrider’s name.
There’s only like a handful of folks on the lemmyverse, it’s what gives it such a cozy feeling.

Look, so do I, but there’s a clear difference in a lot of ways between how folks consume media. I see a relative doing it in a way that’s just… sad. I would put reddit’s way of it, even with all the algorithmic bulldonkey, above facebook or tiktok feeds.

Sound bite listening republicans on facebook, twitter, etc. These people exist so there is a big enough ‘ecosystem’ to capture the common person who is swayed by public opinion. That is, where public opinion is the vague sense they have of everyone agreeing with them because it’s all they see between little puppy videos or recipe videos or their weird aunt ranting about democrats being evil.

The combination of medical student and astrology is more unnerving than your poor burning experience. You could totally write a horror script out of the affair.

Shear a lamb, wear it’s wool, go out into the woods of alaska at night with recording bleating sounds.

R is to F what K is to C. Ra is used sometimes because there are other R meanings.

Not according to the meme. 0 K is -273(.15) C.

I actually have real alarms for that, and yes, I ignore them. Maybe if the device maker didn’t make the alarms go off so annoyingly I would pay attention, but alas…

- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 2 weeks ago:
I really struggled when I tried magic, and then in DS2 I picked up an ultragreatsword and great shield and the game just felt right to play. Like, every boss timing seemed to be perfectly in line with my speed, where before it was always a struggle to refrain from trying to get one last button mash in with the faster weapons.

Oh, damn. I’m like a few dozen hours in and still no hydro power. I must be a slow player. :(
I do, however, have a fifteen gajillion story high factory that I’m building, so there’s that!

The worst part of it, to me, is that the smiling isn’t even a cover, or faked because she’s still remembering what just happened. The child is dismissed from the mind as soon as it complies, and she’s just so happy to see all the friends at church.

The music and the bright colors in that cel shading style were great. They also did a really good job with the seagulls and the barrels and the silhouettes in the distance as you were sailing. Maybe it was just the contrast with all of the ‘dark’ games at the time. It was a gigantic mood swing from majora’s mask. The music really helped sell it.
I think wind waker is good example of how to handle ‘open world’ without letting on that you’re controlling the experience. I don’t think any of the official ‘next steps’ ever had you sailing more than three squares away. The teleport was right when the world ‘opened up’ to you doing whatever you felt like, and the easily grasped concept of one square=one island with some interaction made sure there was no loss of focus on the developers or players. Obviously the main islands had more to do than the ones with just a platform/reef, but it worked.

traveling to another city is actually so inconvenient that you only do it if you have to
They don’t work. Vanguard did it way back when, with their three continent world. Each one had enough content to get from lvl 1 to lvl 50, the max, and your starting race determined your starting location. It could take up to an hour to get to friends. Even on the same continent, with a mount (before they added flying mounts), it could take a half hour of running to cross the map… and players complained so vociferously that they were forced to add fast travel options.
- Comment on Why are some shows so dark? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t see the problem? I can see the character’s expressions, their stances, their clothes and clothing decorations, the objects they’re holding… I don’t necessarily agree that this should be the way a federation starship would be lit, but I don’t see why people would say they couldn’t see anything.

That’s my joke with people all the time: ‘Microplastics are better than plastic surgery!’
… which then cues the question of wtf microplastics are and I look at them like they’ve been living under a rock.

I think there are often fried sushi rolls on the menu of most places. It’s the only way I can convince certain family members to go.

Go look at the OP’s posting history. The posts on asklemmynsfw are particularly enlightening. Really shitty questions that the OP often replies to with ‘stories.’ My personal money is that it’s a bot account meant to get people talking about stuff, offering clues to who they are and linking accounts that people leave behind with new ones or on other instances.
