- Comment on Is Hades hard to beat? 2 days ago:
It can be hard to beat, depending on your ‘skill’ with that sort of game.
If you’re really struggling, I would recommend getting the mod that allows you to ‘pick’ a particular god that you like, and it will keep giving you that god as the powerup choice. This lets you get the ‘rare’ upgrades more often, which is where the game really seems to peg its difficulty level at. RNG screws over a strategy more often than anything else in hades. Sure, if you’re really trying to be the best hades player ever, you won’t really have problems, but for more casual players it is more critical to have good upgrades.
*If you do get that mod, remember that you can switch which god you’re being given, and find a combo power that you really like. Some good choices are demeter, zeus, artemis. Demeter’s laser beams, artemis’s criticals, those do well together. Zeus’s lightning combines well with several other powers. Demeter’s cool ‘upgrade the rarity’ power is also amazing which is why she pairs well with everyone else.

I don’t remember who said it, but I’ve always remembered the best description of the whole process as: “my body is punishing me for not being pregnant.”
Always gets a sympathetic groan.
- Comment on How come they don't make generic drugs for cats and dogs. I love my sisters buddy to death. Its just weird that all my meds are generic but animals are name brand. I just hate spend 250 every 3 mon. 5 days ago:
That’s odd, because it’s the exact opposite in my experience. I know of at least two friends who went to a vet and their ‘dog’ was diagnosed with back pain and a drug prescribed for it, because the price of the animal’s drug was wildly cheaper.

I personally think Kesha being a fox-bee in an adult cartoon is much better for an example of a popular singer having a great fursona.
- Comment on 🚙💨🚑🚨💨 1 week ago:
Supposedly the video portion is fine because of some specifics of how PII is worded/used/defined. It is, at the very least, such a small window into the rear compartment that combined with the angle you can’t see much. Also supposedly, it’s why the internal camera doesn’t record audio (which none of us believe but the videos they share never have audio).
- Comment on 🚙💨🚑🚨💨 1 week ago:
Now they have a bloody camera on us. “AI” tracks things like speed (and ‘knows’ the appropriate limit), cell phone usage, ‘attention wandering’ as in your eyes not being focused forward for a period of time, drowsiness, etc.
- Comment on 🚙💨🚑🚨💨 1 week ago:
lulz. A bunch of places have ‘limits’ on your driving even with lights on. There’s a place near me that the limit on the ambulance’s speed is less than the actual speed limit. It’s quite funny to get passed with lights on, let me tell you.

I know I’m weird, but thickly slathered cold butter on bread can be amazing.
- Comment on I use way too many substitute tools. 1 week ago:
I don’t know how I did it, but I lost a giant one of those. It was for metric hexes from ~1.5-7, and it had this lovely design that made it really easy to turn (not so easy to fit it in tight spots, but it wasn’t the biggest deal). Like, how do you lose a tool the size of your hand? Grumble grumble.
- Comment on I use way too many substitute tools. 1 week ago:
Still lose fewer allen wrenches than 10mm sockets. I swear the companies that make them have some sort of magic that causes them to disappear after a year.

I have this really, really irrational fear that I mispronounced it in my head when I was reading this meme.
- Comment on UwU🥺👉👈 1 week ago:
I would guess that, for the people sending them unsolicited, it’s like the fastest way to get a smash/pass answer. It’s saying “I want to sex you, here’s what I got,” in two seconds rather than the colossal effort to type out two complete sentences. There’s also some unique psychology learning/behavior math that makes the stimulus (dick pic in this case) and its lower successes more likely to continue.

Mate, I have ublock origin, and the website still tries to run google analytics.

You guys aren’t using noscript and blocking the analytics script from even running?

That comes out of your ass.
- Comment on I don't think they're alone on one 2 weeks ago:
That last one really gets down to rituals some in the human world partake in. Never been a big proponent of CBT myself (it is too easily used to lead astray folks into things like ABA without empathy or little sheldons thinking they’re so smart for trying to shape another), but if the mentality is present in multiple species, maybe there’s something to it.

Yes, and if you read the first and second sentences of the wikipedia you’ve linked, you might notice something that I had said in my comment.
Here, I’ll help you out. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita

It’s been a long time since I studied octopus anatomy (well, it was really just an overview of the [three?] cephalopods), but don’t they have eight arms, of which only one has the sperm tube?
post search: Yeah, it’s called a hectocotylus.
- Comment on Let's ask this AI app! 2 weeks ago:
Isn’t the amanita mushroom one of the most deadly, and its unique symptom is that you (seem to) recover after a day or two?
…
THEN the second unique symptom hits and you get to open up the abdominal cavity and pour out the remains of the liver.
- Comment on Anon is bored of it all 2 weeks ago:
I mean… we are on lemmy, so it’s more like, people who can’t experience one iota of what this planet has to offer. The fact that I’ve been able to travel around just my home country and see a variety of landscapes puts me among a relatively lucky few. Being able to read more books in the last few months than many will ever own, or that I have an ‘adrenaline’ hobby, makes me incredibly lucky.
I won’t come down on someone who may never get out of a 50 mile region of their hometown.

I mean, roommates are definitely a form of horror. For every well adjusted person out there, several exist that never learned to clean up after themselves or think of how what they do impacts another person.

Nah, this picture is old. I definitely remember seeing it in the 2010-2020 era.
- Comment on Zen 2 weeks ago:
It was weird learning how many of the random words I had in my vocabulary were actual foreign words, not even loan words but just had been used by neighbors who had likely had immigrant parents or were immigrants themselves. Ciao, sayonara, adios, ohayo (which I seriously thought was just, “Oh! Hi! Oh!” as if it was an exaggerated ahoy)…
- Comment on Anon dips 2 weeks ago:
Weird. Since when did 4chan (or any of its lookalikes) have quotation boxes?
- Comment on Anon dips 2 weeks ago:
I mean, that’s basically the entire premise of any insult on 4chan. The original days had anything be an insult simply by appending ‘-fag’ at the end.
- Comment on Me watching someone on Lemmy getting cooked for having the same opinion as me: 3 weeks ago:
Ah, yes, thank you. Mirepoix. But no, I recognize it in tons of dishes at restaurants I’ve tried over the years. Maybe they all source their dishes from one source, but it sure seems like everything has been basted with a sauce using that combo, or the side dishes have been steeped in it. I’m not saying every food, just a ridiculous amount.
- Comment on The original Lemmy shitpost 3 weeks ago:
I’m pretty sure I made it from elementary to nearly the end of high school without having to go at school. There’s just way too much opportunity for people to fuck with you when you’re in a stall.
- Comment on The original Lemmy shitpost 3 weeks ago:
(most) Fursuits are way too expensive to muck up with biological matters. I think the fursuiters I know would smile, close their eyes, and gently pat you for your joke, only to grow aghast as they realize the reality of the suggestion of something that could fuck with their gigantic investment.
