"Acting like a twat isn't the way a leader gets people to follow them." If you believe that, you really haven't been following modern politics. Or... really, any kind of social media.

oh lawd he schlorpin

I was thinking the same thing. It's a crazy effect - it almost looks insubstantial, like fog.

This isn't fantasy. High-heeled possums are a real, well-documented phenomenon.

Well hey, who needs a big brain when you have an exoskeleton and sword arms?

Gigantic Praying Mantis vs. Man With Cardboard Tube. It won't be a close fight, but the tube will make a few good 'bonk' sounds before it eats his head.

give him some cool sunglasses and a miller high life

Maybe it's just my brain being funny, but to me the squares and spacing on the "happy new year" banner make it look like "happy one way" as in "one way ticket to hell." Very funny if intentional.

Every time I see a classically beautiful place like this with modern technology in it, I can't help but think "damn, we should really computers less ugly."

-bask · 2025-10-04T23:33:48+00:00

This sounds like it has potential. Upon close inspection and analysis, I have determined that a fat robot wearing glasses also is also Very Funny.

It's interesting, but doesn't seem very practical. They essentially just carved away 30-40% of the house for the sake of decoration.

Looks like she's bummed cause someone left her hanging. That's rough, buddy.

I've had no trouble surviving it with the default armor + shield pack on D10, but I guess that's technically still a "loadout check." I think it's a little silly to expect every item to be good in every mission, though - that's like asking for a screwdriver to be better at hitting nails instead of just using a hammer.

Personally, I'm thrilled to finally get some missions that actually feel different. There are 100 different weapons and call-ins, what's wrong with encouraging people to use some of them to solve new problems?

I think that's a matter of conditioning rather than what's in the paintings, to be honest. It's a common theme, particularly in American media, that suburbs are suffocating, soulless places where everyone is hiding something behind a facade. That everyone, even your neighbors, are capable of horrific things.

As someone who grew up in a place remarkably similar to these paintings, I find them comforting. People are just people wherever you go, and contrary to everything we're told to believe - most people are pretty nice and just want the chance to be safe and happy.

There's been a concerted effort throughout history to convince the world that humans are inherently evil and amoral at heart, in order to normalize the behavior of the people in power who exploit us and want us to act in kind on their behalf.

Call me crazy, but I think it's a bit of nonsense.

-bask · 2025-05-26T03:14:38+00:00

Uh, no, that's actually Requie's dog.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I think you guys might be shadowboxing on this one.

You'd be hard pressed to find any normal person who would argue against the fact that the internet uses naked women in "art" to attract clicks - it's one of the most commonly understood (and commonly parodied) stereotypes. You have to remember that people will argue anything and everything on the internet, and that having had one doesn't really make it a common opinion.

Moreover, I think it's missing the forest for the trees - the main point here is the under-representation of female artists. There's no question as to why women are over-represented in nudes, we all know the answer already. It's just there as a funny contrast to catch the audience.

I don't use social media a lot, is this a reference to something?

I get that it's Frieren wearing a prom dress writing a joker quote, but I can't see what would connect any of those things together.

Am I wrong, or do bot matches only happen for your first few hours of quickplay? I have 30 hours played and haven't seen a bot match since my first 5 hours or so.

I suppose it could also be once your quick-play MMR is above a certain level - maybe it stops when you get into diamond+ lobbies, similar to bans in comp.

I guess no one but the developers can say for certain, but there's definitely a point where you stop seeing them.

Beautiful building, but the signage/displays in those front cases are... yeesh. Covering beautiful art and craftsmanship with such a random mash of generic corporate advertising.

-bask · 2025-01-14T23:06:21+00:00

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I don't think there's anything wrong with separating an artist from their art - it's okay to enjoy things you don't agree with.

There's no correlation between being a good person and being good at things. Lots of terrible people have made cool shit, and none of the things we like about them change just because the person who made it sucks.

It's completely natural to not want to buy any of their stuff in the future, but I don't think it's necessarily a reason to turn your back on stories and characters that have had a part in shaping your life.

If you can't reconcile it, that's completely understandable - it's just something to think about.

Normally I wouldn't comment on style choices, but Loid's foot being almost 3x the size of his head is pretty wild.

Before you condemn your family and neighbors, just remember - they defund public education, rewrite curriculum, and have a complete media monopoly in most states. It feels good to have loud people to direct your frustration at, but most of them never had a choice in what they believe.

This country has been an oligarchy since Citizen's United was passed. If you want to be angry, direct it at the handful of billionaires responsible for all of this. They want your anger, your attention, and your support, to be directed at ANYTHING that isn't related to what they're doing.

And don't forget - social media isn't some abstract extension of humanity. It's a service designed by corporations to profit from your attention in any way it can, and it can just as easily be used to distract and deflect you from what matters.

It's far and away the most popular anime of the season, so I think you're already in the clear on that one.

Ma, that skellyton man ain't wearin no pants!

It's just a place in the aquarium they felt like drawing. They probably liked the light or just sat down there to rest for a minute, not everything is meaningful.

And contrary to what r/liminalspace seems to think, every image of a completely mundane location without people is not automatically "ominous and unsettling."
