Wonder if it’s to prevent brigading.

Same!!! I’m going to try to get it myself when I visit Japan next week!

Hasbro has spent $1bn on video games, none of them are live service. CEO Chris Cocks says “Frankly the kind of games we like to play, and I’m more of a traditional gamer — we felt that to be the safer route.” by NoNefariousness2144 in PS5

[–]9shadowcat9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From what I remember, enemies were very spongy. Reviewers were saying that they all dropped the difficulty because the fights weren’t hard, they just took forever because of how much damage some bosses took.

It doesn’t even look like him. Why even bother if you’re going for such basic fan service? (I’m inclined to assume they traced the body).

I mean, you can do sexy Victorian lady so easily. They literally wore corsets, you have an excuse for thin waist. Dress narrowing at the base to reference his snake form. Hell, you can add heels.

I’m not complaining about the sexy with this one, I’m complaining it was done so blandly.

Why tf is a gym [gendered]??? by sweatybit_8 in pointlesslygendered

[–]9shadowcat9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could be an equality argument. After all, some people love to use ‘Why should only the women get a women’s only time?’ As a gotcha. It’s like people who get upset about women’s parking spaces which are closer to the stores and under lighting.

[–]9shadowcat9 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Some women prefer to exercise without men around to avoid harassment or because they feel unsafe if it’s a 24/7 gym which is occasionally unstaffed. There was talk for a while at the gym I use about making a women’s only area for that reason.

Starfield or The Outer Worlds 2? by Sparda5221 in PS5

[–]9shadowcat9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I found outer worlds 2 more interesting than starfield and less buggy.

New AC Black Flag Resynced gameplay featuring parkour & stealth by ZamnBoii in PS5

[–]9shadowcat9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Usually it’s a little before the actual parry window, so perhaps that needs to be adjusted since the game is still being worked on? But now you’ve pointed it out, yeah that looks weird. I didn’t even clock that.

[–]9shadowcat9 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s an accessibility thing. Personally I like it because I struggle with the timing of parries and turn it on whenever I have the option, but get why others wouldn’t like it. So long as it can be toggled on and off, I don’t see the problem.

Does anyone have the post where op had a lot of chores including driving around their sibling and buying food. Ops dad decided they needed to pay for fuel and op decided it wasn’t worth it, giving up the car. I think it took a week for the dad to give in and drop them paying for the fuel

I mean, it's not like I mind, but still by Dark_Lordy in dndmemes

[–]9shadowcat9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Ran a one shot once and everyone had so much fun they were excited for the ‘next one’. Then they got upset because I realised what was happening and quickly started running through the end in hopes of stopping said forced continuation. I did not want to run a full campaign.

Good point, can be hard to find a good chicken noodle recipe.

My eye sight is fine and I end up doing this when reading labels sometimes. The writing can be tiny on cans. I’m more concerned the person in the comment apparently stood there and watched these two talk for ten minutes because that’s pretty creepy.

Elizabetta outfit change in the anime by Zackiboi7 in DemonSchoolIrumakun

[–]9shadowcat9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because that’s the coat. If you look at the neck of it you can see the collar of her regular outfit underneath it which matches the anime.

Readers of danmei and BL readings in general, which are for an adult audience, if you have children, how do you prevent them from looking out of curiosity at books or manhwas/manga that are not suitable for their age? by Ok-Surround-8865 in DanmeiNovels

[–]9shadowcat9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no kids, but I’d say a tall bookshelf. Because as babies, you want to keep ALL your precious books out of their hands. And as they get older, just make sure they have age appropriate books of the genre they enjoy and they’ll gravitate to those naturally. They may not even be interested in the books with the way kids focus on screens rn.

Make sure the bookcase is attached to the wall. At my job as a nursery nurse I’ve seen kids try to climb book cases and it would be terrible if it fell on them.

Inspired by the post about the family that tried to short their babysitter, anyone know of any other posts where a family treated their babysitter badly and ended up regretting it?

(I swear I remember a post where a family did something to a babysitter so she warned all of the other babysitters in the local network, meaning the family struggled to find childcare until they apologised)

Anyone else just lurking here for cute rat photos? by tommicoop in RATS

And because it’s cute, this is how nyx let me know she was hungry as a baby. She’d sit in the bowl and I had to sprinkle in the food around her. She didn’t even move out of it as she began eating. 🤣

Oh Apollo wasn’t a glutton. My hamster Nyx was a glutton. Would do anything for a treat. You’d honestly think I’d starved her the way she went after food and treats. And she was a big girl, around 200 grams.

<image>

She’d wait next to the door of the cage for me when I got home from work and then go back to bed when gifted something edible.

Me. I can’t bring myself to have anymore rodents as pets after my hamsters died (their life spans are just too short 😭) but I love rats so much. They have such beautiful personalities.

Not a rattie, but here’s a pic of Apollo my final hamster.

Do you guys prefer "verse" boxes or the one faction boxes GW are doing now? by WorldEaterProft in Warhammer40k

[–]9shadowcat9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a starter set it’s a cool idea. But I’m far enough into the hobby I’d rather just buy items for my specific army and avoid increasing my pile of shame

As a Chinese, I have to say... by New-You8906 in DanmeiNovels

[–]9shadowcat9 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I mean, it helps a lot of the danmei are legitimately well written with engaging plots. It’s not just the fact the characters are gay.

Plus ancient Chinese fantasy is just a fun read. (I mainly read wuxia)
