I need to replay Bastion. One of my all-time favorites, for sure.

“This can’t possibly be the same 9PM at which I once would prepare for outings.”
Does this work better, or am I crazy?
- Comment on What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes? 4 weeks ago:
FF16 is not an incredible game. But it sure is easy to button mash your way to a win, especially considering how good some of the trinkets are (acquired at start of the game). The music is solid, the writing is interesting enough, and the visuals are great, provided you can run it well.

If you can get your hands on a misty step scroll, invis potion + longstride/jump spell, or speed potion, you can free Aylin in turn 1 (provided you freed her). Granted, that doesn’t make the fight a free win, but she sure can eat a lot of hits.

Exactly! So hot, so solid… and a little bit sick of course :)

You know… you can pickle your own stuff, without HFCS, right?
- Comment on Anon watches The Whale 4 weeks ago:
Not a movie, but RATM is my favorite example of this. Or the Punisher.
- Comment on Sony faces another class-action lawsuit over PlayStation Store prices and monopolistic practices 4 weeks ago:
Not because they’re required to, but because their console platform is dying lol. I mean, I welcome the changes, but I’m sure long-time Xbox users are not as happy with it.

Pick a name and use it for every guard, except switch the first consonant every time.
They will get a kick out of it a few times, and then slowly learn that there’s no point in asking the guard’s name.
Lambert, Hambert, Tambert, Kambert, and Dambert all come from a long lineage of esteemed city guards :)

I remember in ARK you would periodically shit a sphere. I forget what it can be used for though. It is definitely a game mechanic :)
- Comment on Anon likes trains 5 weeks ago:
There are still a few use cases… mainly price. A 4TB 2.5" HDD can be had for less than a bottom-of-the-barrel 2TB NVME.
But I would definitely hesitate to bring spinning drives on a bumpy ride.

Frozen blueberries are heavenly. If you rinse them with water and let them sit a few minutes, they sometimes develop a thin icy shell. Immaculate.
- Comment on As neglected as the 7 button on a microwave 5 weeks ago:
My microwave has a half minute add button, but it takes 2-3 seconds to accept another press of the same button. This condition is not true for any other button on microwave.
I just manually type in my times now.
- Comment on Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community 5 weeks ago:
But if their argument is that you can simply ignore mods you disagree with, then those individuals should stop brigading against and whining about, say, a mod that enables queer relationships. As their own arguments imply, they can simply ignore those mods.
They should really pick a side instead of cherrypicking what’s convenient for them.
- Comment on Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community 5 weeks ago:
Welp. Almost all of the conversations I’ve read about this change have devolved into “hopefully the new owners don’t enforce their political views.”
They always say shit like “if you don’t like a mod, don’t use it,” but they can’t wrap their heads around the idea that if they can’t tolerate the (ex-)site owner exercising his own moral beliefs, they can find a different platform.
Fun.

As a fellow lemm.ee user, I sincerely hope you don’t end up picking a new instance.

I didn’t know about this, and I probably would have been better off without it. Thank you, though :)

Are “steamed hams” considered water-based cooking?

Drinking borgs?

Some classes don’t require labs. A handful of people that I’ve seen will only show up for quizzes and still pass the class. Why they do it? No clue.
In particular, the classes I’ve seen this happen usually provide a semester-long list of what textbook chapters will be covered in which weeks. If the textbook is thorough enough and the course adheres to the text, it’s doable.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 1 month ago:
This is the game I used to convince my film nerd friends that games can be art too. They really enjoyed playing through it!
- Comment on Late 1 month ago:
Because following at home and teaching yourself the material during the course is different from knowing it all already.

You must drink copious amounts of water to convert into spaghetti and meat (but immunity to water intoxication).
It takes something like 1800 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of beef… but I feel like that’s too extreme for a side-effect. Anyone care to suggest a good ratio?
- Comment on Let's play this game again 2 months ago:
You can’t actually change time, just your perception of time.
If you can’t even think while freezing time, then your “side-effect” is just complete nullification. Not much of a side-effect.

It would be great for raw reaction time, granted you’d still have to wait for your body to catch up.

Your government finds this ability useful and decides to collect you for… testing.

- Comment on Lies of P is getting difficulty options to make the Soulslike more accessible 2 months ago:
The game doesn’t really explain this, but you get different dodge animations when you are using an extra light build. To me, this made the game feel more like bloodborne, which made the combat easier to read. Eventually, I ended up parrying everything instead of dodging, but I really like how the game plays in this state. YMMV

I did the same thing with mio energy (energy drink concentrate) once, expect it was more… intentional.
I was quite stupid then. Nothing like a raging headache and a pumping heart.
