pats you on your head there you go buddy.

KISSmyOS,

Do you have an afternoon to talk about Halfquake?

DmMacniel,
@DmMacniel@feddit.de avatar

I don’t know, do I? Never heard of it.

KISSmyOS,

It’s a Half-Life mod where you have to navigate through an insanely deadly maze by solving movement puzzles, to the amusement of a sadistic commentator and audience, without knowing why you’re even in there. Level design is unique and minimalist, the soundtrack is absolutely awesome.
And it came out 5 years before Portal.

Insanely deadly, as in super hard to beat?

KISSmyOS,

I wouldn’t call it super hard, but you usually die a few dozen times per level until you’ve figured out the solution to reach the next one.
And there are over 100 levels.

It’s extremely frustrating at times, and that is the point. The game immerses you in the experience of being a trapped lab rat.
It’s not a relaxing, fun game.

Mhm… do you know Celeste? Especially your first sentences remind me of it.

headpatsSo is Touhou a style or is it a shoot 'em up game?

Captain_Waffles, in egg_irl

I mean I once listened to my sister talk about buttonholes for like an hour, so deal. Who knew there were so many different kinds of buttonholes?

never offer tech support

FirstMajesticComet, in Do you like the egg_irl Titel Rule? (Nr7)
@FirstMajesticComet@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I don’t mind it but I wish people would add the content warnings, i.e. Egg_irl [CW: Assumes the viewer is Transfem] maybe also make CW posts NSFW, since they can be sensitive in nature.

Trigger warnings don’t help anything and can even be worse for people. Having to add warnings like that, especially about incredibly tame things like “assumes viewer is transfem” is just absurd

FirstMajesticComet,
@FirstMajesticComet@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I disagree, If a person doesn’t want to see something with violence, transphobia, or disturbing imagery a Warning is good, because they can just not click on it (if you click it anyway that’s on you).

Regarding assuming the user’s gender (talking about gender as a whole) , It might seem tame or absurd to someone who isn’t trans, or to a trans person who doesn’t understand the existence of other identities outside their own (very common on reddit.com/r/Egg_irl) but they can cause dysphoria for many folks especially when blindsided by them, which they can avoid if they know before clicking on them.

Fal,
@Fal@yiffit.net avatar

That’s all well and good that you’re trying to prevent people from being upset, but they simply don’t work.

I’m not trans but this is me.

FirstMajesticComet,
@FirstMajesticComet@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I mean it’s not gender specific so I feel like anyone can relate to it. Everyone wants basic human respect and headpats are also pretty nice.

Wes_Dev,

Wow, that cable management is almost as bad as mine

FirstMajesticComet, in egg⚛️irl
@FirstMajesticComet@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Just so you and anyone else knows Cis and trans definitely isn’t a binary, so if you continuously get reading that don’t match either, you may want to consider something like Isogender or other Gender Modalities and adjust the tests to look for those.

@uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

There are three things I know that look like that.

~ The Fat Man configuration of an atomic bomb

~ An internal confinement fusion reactor

~ A magnetic bottle with which to store extremely reactive substances, such as strange matter, a black hole or antimatter, none of which anyone actually has in enough quantity to be dangerous and require a magnetic bottle. But we still have the containment chambers.
