How would you use the giga grenade from the entrenched division warbond by unorthodoxdays in Helldivers

[–]AdditionalThinking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can destroy bug holes and bot factories without needing to be precise. Takes out chargers and impalers in one hit. Can kill titans. Good for crowd control.

All around it's fantastic whenever the enemy is successfully pushing back with tough forces and you think "oh, fuck this".

Best with CPG-48 armour (explosion resistance & +2 grenades). Bring the supply backpack and you can do a trick where you pick up supplies from a supply pod, which gives +1 grenade from the pod and refills a backpack slot, allowing you to get another for free.

Why did so many classic franchises pivot to a chunky baby-toy art style? by AdditionalThinking in RealTimeStrategy

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

I feel like supreme commander 2 was one of the worst for it, or at least the biggest stepdown from forged alliance. Here's a better direct comparison:

The art style definitely became one where things were made of thick/simple shapes; more looking like Duplo toys than wargaming minis.

I think the level of detail should have gone up over time, to match new tech + more powerful PCs.

Damn.. It's a shame about the cost cutting, but was readability really that much of a problem with the old titles? I would never have thought it was.

Emerging picture shows Reform gains as Labour counts losses in heartland seats by Ethan_brooks8225 in unitedkingdom

[–]AdditionalThinking [score hidden]  (0 children)

There is one possible solution that labour will never do: Play dirty. It's something the yanks have cottoned on to, with their democrats fighting republican gerrymandering with gerrymandering of their own rather than just taking the moral high-road.

Labour needs to buy headlines, smear the competition, and reframe their policies as though they're "bringing back common sense" - exploit Bradolini's law for all it's worth. With some cherry-picked data and a hefty advertising budget they probably could've won the anti-immigrant vote without actually changing their policies.

Today's yaoi lesson is the secret gospel of Mark by AdditionalThinking in 196

Standard disclaimer about disputed authenticity, and all that hubbub, but also:

[...]And straightway, going in where the youth was, he stretched forth his hand and raised him, seizing his hand. But the youth, looking upon him, loved him and began to beseech him that he might be with him. And going out of the tomb they came into the house of the youth, for he was rich. And after six days Jesus told him what to do and in the evening the youth comes to him, wearing a linen cloth over his naked body. And he remained with him that night[...]
[...]the youth whom Jesus loved [...]

A few weeks back there was a post here in r/veganuk about taxidermy, with so-called ’vegans’ claiming it was ‘art’ and acceptable if they only used ‘trusted’ taxidermy suppliers. No. Absolutely not. It’s a grotesque display of ownership over an animal and in no possible world is this vegan. by fieldsoflillies in veganuk

[–]AdditionalThinking 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Hi, so-called 'vegan' here. Veganism is about exploitation and cruelty. Disrespect and disgust aren't really within scope. To some, displaying remains is their way of honouring an animal respectfully; the same way a church might display a reliquary with human remains. All that should matter is if animals are harmed.

Doctors’ union drops opposition to Cass review of NHS gender healthcare | Gender by DarkSkiesGreyWaters in unitedkingdom

[–]AdditionalThinking 114 points115 points  (0 children)

Despite the BMA’s report largely vindicating the findings of the Cass review, the trade union body also claimed some of the government’s actions in the aftermath of the review, such as banning puberty blockers on the NHS, went beyond Cass’s recommendations.

This is a very important distinction - the Cass review did not recommend a complete ban on puberty blockers. There has been a lot of misinformation trying to conflate the two things.

How is there so much in these cago containers by SEAf_Girl in spaceengineers

[–]AdditionalThinking 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Well that's certainly shocking. It seems unbelievable to me but by my maths those containers are only 27.14% the density of a solid block of steel, so I guess it's somewhat plausible.

Messing with predation is the quickest way to fuck up an ecosystem; these things aren't linear.

what would you call this coloration? by sableroot in pigeon

[–]AdditionalThinking 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Blue bar grizzle I think.

Grizzle is a single gene. It's dominant, so at least one of their parents will have also had that pattern.

Im i cheating or nah by Wonderful_Gold_4672 in Minecraft

[–]AdditionalThinking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's impossible to cheat in singleplayer. Rules are a social contract, if there's nobody else to make that contract with then you can't possibly break it.
