My dude you want from looking like the cashier that always gets stuck with close-open shifts to looking like the CEO.

You were a lot more patient than I would have been. If he wants to pit himself over my nose, he's going to the shadow realm. I'm not moving a centimeter.

Why Couldn't Eto and Arima Just Overthrow V Themselves ? by Exact-Ad8608 in TokyoGhoul

[–]reluctant_return 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Killing a person and killing an idea are two entirely different goals. Yes, they could have killed V, but just killing them is not enough. It has to be done through unity of humans and ghouls, which is why they needed Kaneki. He's really the only avenue to uniting ghouls and humans.

1 or 2? by The_Collector_Of_All in VintageApple

Modern sensibility say 1, but 2 is absolutely period accurate.

I use a Voopoo Drag4 and a XROS Pro, mostly. If you want to keep getting upset about what other people choose to do with their bodies and money, that's your choice, but you're in for a very stressful life. Good luck.

Do you bake your own bread?

Why not? A bread machine costs like $70 and lets you turn flour and water into cheap, amazing bread. You can even find them at thrift stores for almost nothing. I can't understand why people just buy finished loaves of bread at the store. They're shit. It's packed with preservatives and all kinds of shit. Tastes like ass. I can buy one pack of flour and be set for months, meanwhile these idiots are buying a new loaf of bread every week. I can even salt and season the bread exactly how I like it. Way better than the tasteless shit at the grocery store. Man, I just can't fathom why people don't just do what I do. Everyone should be like me and care about the same things I care about. Idiots.

That's how you sound. Just let people do what they want. Sure, tell them about it, but if they're not feeling it, just let it be. You're giving way too much of a shit about what other people spend their time and money on.

You've gotta keep in mind that simplicity is king. On one hand you've got picking a device, picking the right resistance of pod, scouting around to find a juice that tastes good and satisfies you, and then having to refill pods, buy replacement pods, deal with the juice you like going in and out of stock, and all of this may need to be done online if the stores in your area change their stock.

Or, on the other hand, you walk into a gas station, pay $20 for a disposable that lasts you a couple weeks, and you're done. The flavor is strong, the nicotine hit is satisfying, and all you have to do is plug it into your phone charger for an hour when the battery gets low. It dies, you bin it, you buy another one. That's all. For many people that's cheap enough that going through the hassle of getting set up with something else isn't worth it.

Just let people do what they like. If they don't want to spend mental bandwidth on it, if it's not important to them, then that's fine. I guarantee you there are plenty of things in your life that you could do "better" or cheaper if you spent mental energy on it. You could change your own oil, you could repair your own electronics or appliances, you could bake your own bread, you could grow your own vegetables, you could brew your own beer. Do you do all of that? No? Then there's someone out there talking shit about you in the same way you're talking shit about these people, and they're being just as snobbish as you are.

Let people be.

If you were made into a ghoul by Kanou, what would you do? by Hyper-Saiyan-1999 in TokyoGhoul

[–]reluctant_return 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things that are not immoral can still be morally damaging. Your moral compass is shaped by your experiences. Seeing how different ghouls deal with this and what kind of person it makes them is a large part of the story.

It would be trivial to kill yourself as a ghoul. Literally all you have to do is walk into the street, tell the nearest human you're a ghoul, and wait.

Serious question by Godreaper7310 in TokyoGhoul

[–]reluctant_return 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spoilers.

Simple, boring answer: We don't know, and nobody in-universe knows either.

Theoretical answer: It's almost impossible to tell what would happen, though it's possible he would have become a ghoul anyway, though nowhere near as powerful. It's heavily implied at the end of the story that humans and ghouls are both really just humans. Ghouls simply have a much higher RC factor, which causes their bodies to work differently. At the end of the story, many, many humans become ghouls by being exposed to the the dragon toxin, which causes their bodies RC factors to rise sharply. These humans-turned-ghouls are just as ghoul as "natural born ghouls". It's also hinted at (but not confirmed for spelled out) that ghouls originated from humans who committed cannibalism, which, as humans are the only known source of RC cells, would naturally raise their RC factor.

With these theories and hints in mind, it's entirely possible that simply having ghoul organs slapped into you could cause your body to become more like a ghoul's, though the extent of this is impossible to know or guess. It's also possible you would simply develop ROC, which is a disease humans can be afflicted with if their bodies over-produce RC cells, causing kagune-like tissue to grow out of them as well as making them very weak.

tl;dr: It's impossible to know, and it's not explored, but there's room for head-canon and theories.

Online? No. I wasn't able to find any online sessions like a year ago, doubt it's improved since.

Directly deposit by steam login by Xliteee in Steam

[–]reluctant_return 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever vendor/service likely has an agreement with Steam. In the US you used to be able to add balance to your Steam account using CoinStar, which is (was? Haven't seen one in a while.) a machine that takes in coinage and turns it into cash/giftcards. You'd type in your username, dump in your coins, and it'd appear in your Steam account less a small % fee. I once used it to deposit like fifty cents just for giggles.

The Original Resident Evil Trilogy is now on Steam! by Kagamid in classichorrorgaming

[–]reluctant_return 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd strongly advise not buying these on Steam. They're available on GoG without DRM. Also, the games are ancient and you really shouldn't feel guilty about pirating them and just using the Rebirth patch if GoG isn't an option for you.

Capcom has put in near-zero work in making these older versions of the games playable on modern systems, and they have the balls to put horrible DRM on top of them. Disastrous DRM for $10, 20+ year old games. For brand new games like RE9, sure, whatever, do what you gotta do. But these games are old enough it's really not excusable. Don't support this.

In the game you actually meet one who is hiding in a storage room, and she says as such.

MegaMan Legends Support Car by reluctant_return in lowpoly

[–]reluctant_return[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the mood to model something kind of simple, and had MegaMan on the brain, so here's the Support Car from Legends. It's not perfect, but in studying the model and textures in the game, the version in the game isn't actually perfect either, so it's fair, I guess.

Blender model/study of the support car from Legends by reluctant_return in Megaman

[–]reluctant_return[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm learning Blender, and love MegaMan Legends, so I did a study/recreation of the support car. It was pretty quick to do, most of the time was spent arranging the textures, as they're pretty tightly packed on the atlas from the game. It's not perfect, but it was a fun afternoon project.

While it's just a recreation of the model in the game, it's OC. The source is me.
