That’s exactly what I was thinking, glad I saw your comment before making pretty much the same one. Granted, I also didn’t like the 3-D but 2-D style of Bloodstained, but this is orders of magnitude worse based on that youtube vid.
Granted, the graphics aren’t the main draw to this type of Metroidvania, so long as the gameplay is good, I’ll be happy enough. But, I have serious reservations about the thought process that went into the approval of this design. I’m not usually so opinionated, so it has to the pretty awful for me to call it as much.

With respect to Lemmy and Reddit (don’t have much experience with other social media platforms), it often just comes down to the audience.
Some users and some subs are just so fragile and so propagandized that any tiny bit of resistance or any comment slightly against the standard is met with down votes and negativity.
On Reddit, I think my most down voted comment that’s coming to mind was in an environmental sub. Someone mentioned that they didn’t see any “bugs” around their outdoor lights the night prior even though those lights would have been covered in bugs when that person was a kid.
I acknowledged that I am fully aware that insect populations are in collapse/decline. However, what the person was witnessing wasn’t a fair comparison because it was currently winter time where they lived (which was obvious from their other comments) and because modern LED lights don’t produce as much heat or ultraviolet light (both things are highly attractive to nocturnal insects) as previous technology.
I think I got something like -342 on my comment within a day or two.

Smarter than my cousin Larry? Psht. There’s a boxwood bush outside my bedroom window that’s smarter than cousin Larry.
But realistically, the machines might be smarter than the average poorly motivated human in certain criteria. Hard to take anybody seriously that disagrees with that position.
On the other hand, an average human with sufficient and proper motivation? I’m still on team people in that case.

It’s because if were actually possible and they did it, then all of space and time would have collapsed into something akin to a giant black hole, obliterating everything, bringing a violent and inescapable end to it all.
- Comment on Do it for your country's debt! 2 weeks ago:
My favorite are the ones that complain about how nobody wants to work and everybody’s lazy. Yet, they themselves stopped working in their mid-50s after fighting for years to get on disability for their unhealthy lifestyles (obesity & cigarettes).
- Comment on What is the best way to drop 50lbs in two months without spending alot and no fad diets? 2 weeks ago:
Napkin math: There are roughly 3,500 calories in 1 lb of fat. To lose 50lbs of fat, that’s 175000 calories.
Let’s get an upper bound of 31 days per month, for 2 months, that’s 62 days. 175000 / 62 approximately 2822.5 calorie deficit per day required. The actual number would be higher.
The other aspect of this is that, generally speaking, the majority of “quick” weight loss is pretty much always in the form of water loss. Water weighs around 8lbs a gallon. So, you’d need to drop about 6 gallons of water to achieve that kind of weight loss.
Neither of these are safe, reasonable, or practical in that time frame, for the average person without medical supervision and/or other professionals supporting you.

Used to be a program on the tv set called Lizard Lick Towing. Never watched it, myself, but now I’m kind of glad I missed it. So, thank you for that CERN. Money well spent.

I had one of the shimmering metalic emerald green species land on my shirt this summer and it was honestly one of the highlights of my year. “THAT FIGURES!” I thought, even the animal kingdom agrees I’m a piece of shit.
- Comment on Christmas Animals 2 months ago:
Am I missing something? A few penguin references / associations with Christmas, sure I’ve seen that. But, at least in my part of the world, they’re not a major part of the lore – or am I having a moment?
Either way, this can be easily explained: It’s called being inclusive. The last thing you want is a north pole versus south pole world wide Christmas turf war, best to extend an olive branch andlean into that diversity and inclusion metric for the good of the world’s children and the fate of humanity.

- Comment on Why do pro athelets get paid millions upon millions of dollars but will be taken off field for something minor? My coach always said walk it off or tough it out. How come its not the same in leagues? 2 months ago:
It’s like when mommy and daddy buy their precious little Timmy a car and then he doesn’t take care of it, doesn’t keep it cleaned and maintained, and runs it into the ground. Timmy doesn’t care, it cost him nothing, and mommy and daddy will get him another if that one breaks down.
Compared to:
Timmy worked his ass off to buy an expensive, high end pickup truck for the work he does. It took a lot of work and sacrifice to be able to afford it, and without it, he doesn’t make money. So, he takes excellent care of it, keeps it clean and maintained, and he’s careful about how and when he uses it.

This sounds like it’s coming from someone who cannot differentiate between AI slop and actual real responses. Not surprising in the least, of course.
- Comment on Why is comment section of this video filled with nazis? 2 months ago:
Youtube is a world-wide technology and the videos can reach an impressively large percentage of the human population. No matter how good the average person is, there will always be some percentage of bad actors, and the larger the audience, the larger number of bad seeds there will be. Additionally, the nature of relevance algorithms and online social networks, amongst other factors, tends to silo like minded people into networks of similar content. And finally, there are a myriad other factors such as engagement metrics, relative anonymity, and plenty of other things that serve to provide encouragement and cover to comment and create content which would otherwise not be acceptable in most circles in person.
This means a video which draws attention of people with nazi tendencies as well as allied groups who are simply attention seeking can end up attracting a higher than normal percentage of those groups, and others from congruent social spaces. So long as there’s little to no impactful negative repercussions nor effective moderation of the rules, comment sections can fill with undesirable, despicable, illegal, and/or rule breaking replies.

Just in case anybody didn’t read the article and doesn’t already know: Wild animals infected with rabies aren’t just the stereotypical raging aggressive terror beasts you see in the media, they can also be super friendly and usually docile.
Obviously the best advice is just to leave wild animals alone and keep your distance. However, if you see a feral or wild animal behaving in an uncharacteristic way, added caution is needed. This includes things like seeing traditionally nocturnal animals like skunks and raccoons out and about during the daytime or having them be unusually friendly / fearless / docile to the point where they don’t retreat and may even come up to investigate you. It doesn’t mean that they are infected with rabies, but that’s definitely a potential symptom of rabies (but can also be a sign of other infectious diseases that should activate your spidey senses).
You are not a Disney princess and Cinderella is not a realistic presentation of how healthy wild animals act.

I’m not sure if the recent fledglings actually are larger or if it’s more of an illusion.
Logically, it doesn’t make sense that their bodies (sans plumage) would actually be substantially larger than the mature adult parents, other than maybe if the juveniles have a lot of “baby fat” or just different body shapes early on. I assume there are other aspects in play, like maybe they have more down feathers that push up on their outer plumage causing it to be more fluffed up and giving the appearance of them being larger than their parents.
Maybe a birdologology expert can weigh in (yes I know the actual term is ornithologist).
- Comment on Dispute 2 months ago:
I don’t know the exact species involved here, but if I had a penny, I’d bet the two individuals on the left are mom and dad while the third individual that looks like it is wildly gesturing is probably a juvenile begging its parent to feed it.
In my part of the world, you see this kind of behavior in many different bird species. In some species, the juveniles appear to be larger than the parents and yet will still beg for food.

- Comment on Hey look, a giant sign telling you to find a different job 2 months ago:
I’m getting flashbacks of the management team at the Home Depot I worked at briefly in my college years. Worst job I’ve ever had. Management treated us in with absolute disdain, honestly shameful to talk to other people in that manner regardless of the situation.
For someone in a supervisory / managerial role to post a notice like this, it’s a sure sign things are completely rotten all the way to the top. I feel sorry for the folks that truly feel like they need that job.
