Shiggles,

Part of the excellent case why you shouldn’t roll for the routine. Take “town downtime activities”.

If a character is a lifetime street urchin, they should be able to find a few “safe marks” versus rolling to snag some risky but lucrative pickpockets. A talented musician doesn’t flub every 20th note, but you can certainly reward bigger rolls with bigger tips.

Shiggles,

Are there really that many people up in arms about this? Fuck epic and fuck fortnite, but were there really that many steam deck users that even wanted to play it in the first place? I see no issues with epic continuing to make dumb and short sighted business decisions, so long as somebody salvages unreal if they ever crash and burn.

Shiggles,

Right, tell me more about how trump would’ve been better…

Shiggles,

I don’t need an IQ above room temperature to see business majors are even worse off.

Shiggles,

One of my favorite facts about nature is the fact that practically nothing is vegan. Herbivores are basically constantly eating insects off of the plant matter they eat, and pretty much anything will eat eggs if they find them unguarded.

My point is that if you want to be “closer to what nature intended”, being a vegan with cheat days is probably the closest you’ll get.

Shiggles,

First paragraph, oh this is a reasonable point-

Second paragraph, this person needs therapy.

Shiggles,

I absolutely hear that argument all the time though, that “our stomachs aren’t designed to eat meat so you shouldn’t”.

Personally, I have absolutely cut back on meat, especially beef, but still eat it probably twice a week. It’s a far more realistic ask than veganism, though I perhaps should’ve specified only the most deranged of vegans act like I was describing in the first place.

Shiggles,

As a general rule as soon as you start making up words like “carnists” and trying to insert them in regular conversation, you’re probably very deep down a rabbit hole and need to strongly consider the life choices that got you there.

Shiggles,

For some people, those aren’t their high beams. No, that doesn’t make it any better.

Shiggles,

It’s easy to be cynical about human nature when the extreme negatives are so amplified and given so much publicity. You have to remember the vast majority of people do still possess empathy.

Shiggles,

That’s almost as bad as the geniuses that build luxury properties right next to race tracks, then petition to have the race tracks shut down for lowering property values.

Unless the bar somehow snuck up on you?

Shiggles,

I don’t think you need to go to bard college to demonstrate you can rip a man in half.

Shiggles,

Do you need to roll a check to open the door every morning? Some things can just happen, unless you’re specifically going for a goofy “hehe he slipped out of my fingers” type of game.

Shiggles,

It always reminds me of a beautiful quote that I’m going to butcher from one of the Factorio devs. If something isn’t fun, no matter how sacred it feels to your gameplay, get rid of it.

It’s hard to think of a game that has been improved by having inventory weight caps. For most games there should be two systems: resource hoarding, and item unlocks. You find an item, it’s now unlocked gratz. You find gold? Hoover it all up.

Really the only game I can think of where it really adds depth to the game is Darkest Dungeon 1. You have so many inventory slots, and you start out with them somewhat filled with food and assorted supplies to help you go. As you progress through a level, you naturally use up some supplies, but you still eventually have to choose whether to keep the bandages or the loot. But that was clearly a deeply thought out mechanic in the game, core to the experience, not “oh well skyrim has inventory management so we should too”.

Shiggles,

Do you believe it’s free to host downloads, support matchmaking services, and the near endless other services steam provides? Or did considering why other online gaming retail platforms (besides GOG we love GOG) suck major ass just skip your mind?

Shiggles,

As someone who will upfront admit to not having played it, my impression of friends and online personalities alike is that if you really liked fallout 4, it’s sorta like an alright reskin with some obvious changes for space.

The people aren’t all crotchety assholes like fallout, and you’re obviously in space.

Gunplay clearly isn’t the focus, the story’s acceptable but not gonna blow your socks off, so it does kinda beg the question of what exactly it’s supposed to do better than any other game. BG3 has the RPG lovers captivated, bethesda’s gunplay has never been a huge draw, and the space exploration is severely limited and not a big upgrade from skyrim dungeon style of “huge open world” of all the same crap.

Shiggles,

Sorry, are we on the same platform? All I see from the communists are cringe memes and even cringier “debates” that would get them laughed out of a middle school debate club.

Shiggles,

insurance has clauses to prevent paying out

Oh man what a sick gotcha it’s not like that’s the entire purpose of a for profit insurance system.

Alternatively, the lovely thing about driving an old beater is that you have nothing to lose in situations like this.

Shiggles,

It’s mildly infuriating, not pants shittingly aggravating. If anything this fits more than the usually much more upsetting content.

Shiggles,

Do you guys ever even hear yourselves? It’s almost impossible to mock you because it would be indistinguishable from the actual nonsense you come up with.

Stick to the echo chamber.

Shiggles,

According to a quick, entirely un-fact-checked google, women in 1600s england had a 10% literacy rate. At least the bible would’ve been in english at this point?

Shiggles,

It’s worse than raising prices, it’s offering less content for higher prices. Total war pharoahs is a prime example, because it was clearly designed as a saga game(a cheaper, smaller scale total war title essentially) and then sold at full price when they realized the wildly unpopular, nobody-asked-for game Hyenas was getting shitcanned and they needed to trade what little faith the playerbase had for any cash possible.

Shiggles,

The odds of it being tiktok related mental illness instead of diagnosed are extremely high. But this is the internet and it’s more magical if you believe the wildly unbelievable.

Shiggles,

“The best interest of the business” is far too lenient in its wording. Some of the shareholder derivative lawsuits out there are fucking wild.

Simple things such as “paying your workers too much”, “acting with too much emphasis on morality over capital gains”, it all does have to come back to shareholder profits, ever since Dodge Vs. Ford.

Shiggles,

Re the second part: this works differently in delaware, where over half of all fortune 500 companies were incorporated.

Willfully ignoring the minor detail about ford being sued to stop enriching the lives of their workers says enough about how productive this conversation’s going to be.

Shiggles,

Game’s been playing fine performance wise on my 3080/5800, my main frustrations have been industry hub buildings not fully building unless you make sure they render when you place them by moving the cursor around randomly. Also industry specializations are ugly as sin.

Besides that, I severely underestimated the effect of wind on air pollution, we’ll see if restarting fixes that. Exporting electricity, at least geothermal, is overpowered. You can export more if you buy tiles out to the map edge, you just connect to the border and make new connections.

Shiggles,

So you’d like to damn them for murdering the communists, but also damn modern social democrats for not dealing with fascists in an extra-legal fashion? I understand you’ll never accept the communists weren’t exactly shining paragons, but you must see the irony here.

Shiggles,

Communists famously improved the quality of life for every russian/russian citizen, how silly of me to forget.

Are you trying to equate american democrats to social democrats of europe? We hate our democrats, they’re just the best option under the first past the post voting system.

Shiggles,

Honestly, and this game hasn’t earned much leeway by releasing with the performance issues stated, but I think it’s appealing to a different crowd. Cities skylines was always a bit too goofy, whereas 2 has a bunch of new features that focus on actual city management but those often get overlooked by the lack of charm.

Shiggles,

Morbidly amusing that the headline makes it sound like day 16 is what finally did em in. Five minutes probably changes your whole outlook on life.

Shiggles,

Iceland, it’s off to the side.

Shiggles,

Aren’t succubi and incubi technically the same creature, taking a man’s “seed” and then delivering it elsewhere, as a bullshit way to explain out of wedlock pregnancies?

No idea if dnd succubi follow the same rules. But there’s precedent for them to bat for the other team.

Shiggles,

That means that patron is intentionally causing their warlock suffering. Love it.

Shiggles,

I’m sure they put it up to a democratic vote and only went through with it after getting the unanimous agreement of every single Palestinian in Gaza.

Shiggles,

Did you even read my comment?

[Spoilers] Ahsoka - nature vs. nurture

Say what you will about the pacing and stuff, but this show FINALLY gave me a complete force muggle who had no mystical legendary bloodline of famous force space wizards behind her, no cloned mega-space-emperor midichlorian legacy shenanigans that made her the super-special chosen one and she STILL got to use the force through...

Shiggles,

By “a force bloodline” do you mean “literally just the Skywalkers”?

Also doesn’t take into account that Sabine is, as a member of clan Wren/house Viszla, likely related to Tarre Viszla, the first Jedi Mandalorian. More of a force bloodline than most force sensitives we’re aware of.

Shiggles,

The US, famous for just rolling over. You guys are on more copium than imperial japan and it’s hilarious.

Shiggles,

Hexbear expressing opinions 🥴

Shiggles,

The war on drugs succeeded, because it was actually a war on black people. It was never meant to stop drug abuse.

Shiggles,

The CCP is and has always been worse. This hasn’t ever been a feasible debate, just whataboutism.

Shiggles,

How many of us just picked the server because we wanted “popular, but not the most popular”? I imagine that attracts a type.

I’d want “bullied hexbear so hard they defederated out of shame” to be our bias if we get to choose. It’s always okay to punch bully a fascist.

Shiggles,

Indeed, citing the amount of pushback they received when performing their stated goal of radicalizing people. Shocking, really.

Shiggles,

A bomb requires the faintest modicum of planning and know-how. You can walk down the street and buy a gun same-day depending on your state.

Shiggles,

Technically he still has at least one left hand too, so por que no los dos?

Shiggles,

Make sure your kid’s safe on there. I know that sounds an awful lot like pearl clutching, but besides the general dangers of children being online Roblox is exceptionally exploitative of anyone creating content on the site(where have we all heard that before?)

Shiggles,

we’ve made iphones, yet the specifics of hurling an object thousands of miles away into space and having every little detail go right eluded us the first time we tried after a 50 something year hiatus. Curious. Let us abandon space altogether.

The beautiful and terrible thing about humans is no matter how dumb something may seem to such an educated mind as yourself, someone else’s dream is to make it a reality.

Shiggles,

Still tracks, radicalization itself is now a normie trait
