Thank you for the kind words

Same, but even with all that BS, I got more kills in 6 minutes participating in that drama than I would have alone, since I was soloing 4 players’ worth of spawns. I’m happy to part fools from their spawns to get orokin cells they refuse to pick up, I just wish it didn’t come with misgendering. If the harassment weren’t part of the package deal I’d be doing that all day just to spite them, and they’d have twice as many orokin cells that they refuse to pick up.

Plus, that newbie was a good kid. They didn’t deserve to be lied to that Gabii totally has plastids. They ended up siding with those assholes, but only because they were manipulated. I don’t like the taste of leaving newbies to the kubrodons.

Do you think DE are going to punish me for that report?

Halo is unique. At a time when the military shooter genre was closed in terrestrial (or at best, mars) spaces, Halo presented natural environments filled with gorgeous alien architecture that presents an ancient mystery and a sense of wonder at the scale and the age of a place. Perfectly augmented by the monk-like vocalisations, Halo defies the conventions of military shooters by putting you in a beautiful place that you have to explore, and slowly come to understand.

Wow, that triggered my trauma really bad for a split second. I used to get told that all the time when I was a kid, just because I was curious and neurodivergent. Eventually I came to see that sentence as a symbol of the poor empathy of neurotypicals for autistic people, and of ableism in general. If you said that in my house to a member of my family you’d probably start a domestic incident, because every autistic person I know has a similar experience.

Nah. Only 50F to 115f is usable. What kind of weird ass datapoints are those? I mean 10C to 45C are just as random, but at least it aligns with something practical. At least I understand that 200C is twice what it takes to boil water. I have no idea how hot 400F is supposed to be.

I’m glad Playstation games are coming out on PC now. I bought a PS4 for the exclusives and the ones I bought it for were good, but I’m never gonna buy a PS5.

Funny thing about owning a console is that when Christmas and birthday come along, non gamer family and friends would rather get you a physical object than a steam key. But a physical object is sooooooo inconvenient. So I own the PS versions of RDR2 and AC Oddysey, and I’ve never finished them and probably never will. They’re good games, but it’s a bad platform. Bloody annoying.

Lego Island 2 was great

It’s a shame they fixed Cyberpunk.

Right, but what about the mimic plant? It mimicks whatever plant is near it. And it can mimic plastic plants. https://www.vox.com/down-to-earth/2022/11/30/23473062/plant-mimicry-boquila-trifoliolata

I don’t think that’s fediverse and I don’t think their modlogs show up on Lemmy

Children always looked stupid, you just didn’t notice it when you were a child

I want to power wash it

Tipping rewards the boss. If the workers don’t get tipped, the boss has to make up the difference.

Bosses are legally required to make up the difference to minimum wage if a tipped employee doesn’t get enough tips.

If I tip a cashier, then we’re taking money away from the working class to give to the working class, which means there’s no net change. But if I refuse to tip, the boss has to make up the difference and the working class gets money from the capital class.

Therefore tipping is class treachery. You’re depriving the workers of chances to take money from the bourgeois.

Australia doesn’t do tips. I think they’re saying move to Australia or you’re a class traitor.

Iron Man: they are executives at the same company that developed the tech

Black Panther: the bad guy literally just couped the government of Wakanda

Ant Man: the villain is a former business parter of Pym

Dr Strange: they trained at the same monastery and the bad guy trained for longer

I think these fights are boring most of the time, but they’re not implausible. They have plenty of plot justification.

Also the character who copied Hawkeye was a girl who was inspired by his heroism and spent years learning archery and martial arts and still sucked at being Hawkeye when she met him

There’s one example of freezing in space done right. In the finale of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Battle Tendency, Kars gets shot into space and tries to course correct with air jets, but then he starts freezing over, air jets first.

In Phantom Blood, we were shown Dio’s special technique for freezing people by evaporating the moisture on his skin. This is to introduce viewers to the fact that boiling a liquid makes it colder. Kars froze because the moisture in his air jets boiled in the vacuum and became freezing cold. Kars didn’t know this detail of physics because he’s an ancient Aztec.

Yes.
