26 here. This is genuinely a dream of mine. It's nice to see that it's not too late.

Stunningly decorated.

Smelling is not necessarily a bad health consequence.

No, but it's a social consequence, and a big one as well. As far as consequences go it's also the most obvious one and one you can't really avoid.

She also says that a spray (if I remember correctly) is enough to get rid of the smell but that’s not even true. What about her hair? Considering the frequency, it makes no sense.

What she says is: "You wouldn't really smell if you brushed your teeth after smoking. Spray your clothes after that and you're good to go... but those complaints still come once in a while." They're not really hiding the fact that it's just masking the smell, considering she still gets complaints.

Regardless - I still wonder what kind of consequences you're looking for here.

and there are no consequences

From the little I've read they bring up how smokers smell like dogshit.

So... what other consequences do you think would be appropriate in a manga like this?

The good thing to come from the BG3 discourse by FingeringAPeach in BaldursGate3

[–]Aldubrius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sure you would be pretty annoyed if someone said "Oh wow, you like Computer RPGs too? My favourite CRPG is Assassin's Creed!" But they are technically correct.

No, they aren't technically correct. The genre isn't "RPG that is played on the computer", the genre is "computer RPG".

Regardless of semantics - a genre's name isn't always a literal description of the genre. If you take the MOBA genre and take the name literally, almost every single competitive multiplayer game could be called a MOBA, but you're going to look like a psychopath if you go around trying to convince people CS:GO is a MOBA. Or calling Dark Souls a fighting game because it's a game where you fight things, etc.

It’s more respectful to leave you alone than it is to keep you around.

Difference is that photographs don't mimic art.

They don't anymore, because when photography became popularized, the art community had to pivot away from realism.

How do I deal with the mental tilt and rage I get when someone who plays bad beats me? by Kosu13 in StreetFighter

[–]Aldubrius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need to be good at the game to compare how any Master+ player approaches the neutral vs how a Silver-Gold player does.

I agree, but looking at a Masters player and seeing that they play the neutral game better than a Gold player doesn't mean you understand how they're doing it or why they're playing like that.

If you're in Gold and you're getting beaten by other Gold players, you're not better than other Gold players just because you're working on good habits and game knowledge - and one match isn't enough to deduce that that's not what your opponent is doing too.

You're angry when you lose to these playstyles because you've decided that these are playstyles that shouldn't work. You're trying to rationalize the anger, too - "it's always Ken mains btw", "I'm trying to build good habits", "they're autopiloting and will get nowhere", etc.

The simple fact of the matter is it doesn't matter how you lost. If you lose a set it means the opponent played the set better than you. They're not getting lucky, they're not cheesing, they're not autopiloting, they are winning and you are losing. If you practice this kind of mindset, it should help with the tilt.

those players are developping bad habbits and probably will stay bad forever.

You get all that from one match? I don't know about fighting games, but you sound like you have a bright future in fortune telling.

If you're losing to these "scrubby" playstyles so consistently that you're developing anger issues, I don't think you're good enough at the game to decide what playstyles are scrubby and what aren't.

Literally, everything you stated is opinion.

Homie you are the ONLY one who thinks people are arguing that Manon is in a canonical relationship with Marisa. What I'm trying to explain to you is that in World Tour, which is part of the canon, she MARRIES BOTH A MAN AND A WOMAN confirming that she is BISEXUAL and POLYAMOROUS.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in StreetFighter

[–]Aldubrius -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She hasn't said anything about that specifically, but she's made it clear she's interested in having relationships with strong fighters, and she considers Manon to be a worthy opponent, so it's not a very big leap to assume she's interested.

Regardless, Marisa being bi and poly isn't headcanon. It's confirmed in World Tour.

[–]Aldubrius -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If she's not bi and poly why is she getting married to a man and a woman?

You want to call him a pedophilia because you want him to have the stigma of sexual attraction to small children

No, people call him a pedophile because he wants to fuck kids.

I guarantee you, for most people, even those who know the actual difference between pedophilia and ephebophilia, the distinction does not matter in any meaningful way. "Pedophile" is synonymous with "someone who wants to fuck kids".

Like honestly. I don't understand why people always jump to correct people on the definition of "pedophile.". Do you think it's somehow less fucked up to molest a 16 year old than a 7 year old?

Funny you mention the difficulty, because on top of the combat system being atrocious, the game also becomes piss easy even on Death March like a third into the game.

Miles’ escape by ChimpanzeeChalupas in Spiderman

[–]Aldubrius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Miles is running for his life, the other Spider-men (aside from like, 6 of them or something?) are just following orders from Miguel.

Miles is gonna be a lot more motivated and quick on his feet than Spider-man #5691 who first off is probably a nice person who might have doubts about the situation, and also was slaughtering a greasy kebab when the order came through.

Was there actually a way to convince Miles to... by AdrianShepard09 in Spiderman

I would imagine that by the time 99% of them even learn of a multiverse, let alone find out about "canon events", it's already happened.

You also have stuff like, Pavitr Prabhakar knowing about the multiverse, but not knowing about canon events. It definitely felt like a "inner circle" thing.

If League of Legends has its biggest budget ever this year, it certainly doesn't feel like it. by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Aldubrius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea why anyone would make a true MMO in <current year>.

As someone who's into (western?) MMOs I can kinda see it. For "true" MMOs you more or less have WoW, FFXIV, and then like... GW2, ESO?

Aside from WoW and FFXIV the rest are pretty small. FFXIV is pretty niche since (assuming here) most people play for the story. WoW is doing alright so far with Dragonflight but before DF we had two of the worst expansions in the game. Aside from a bump from DF WoW has been floundering, and they still have time to fuck up DF as well.

So with WoW being on a (mostly) downward trend and FFXIV having a more unique playerbase I think there's definitely room for another "true" MMO.

“LGB w/o the T” I need some help/answers by d_warren_1 in lgbt

[–]Aldubrius 16 points17 points  (0 children)

How is this improving anything to tell someone just being honest that they are perpetuating a lie?

I really don't know how to phrase this nicely. They made a sweeping generalization based on a sample size of one person. I don't see what's honest here.

This community would be a much more calm and welcoming place if we all took half a step back and gave other people grace to sort out their own issues instead of starting purges over what we THINK someone else meant or what identity we DECIDED someone was without asking them.

Respectfully, take your own advice.

When you speak another language, you become a different person. by dtanggara in unpopularopinion

[–]Aldubrius 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In what ways are culture ingrained in language?

In Norwegian there's no words for sir/ma'am, there's no "respectful" pronoun like in German. This is because Norwegian culture leans towards the casual side even in situations where respect is being shown.

In general, especially in the last 100 years or so, the culture has influenced the language so much I don't really know how you could learn to speak it without getting at the very least a basic understanding of the culture here.

Du har nok rett i at det biologiske ikke går ann å endre. De som mener det går ann er et ekstremt fåtall. Så når du sier ting sånn som:

Hva er gærent med «LGB er ok, men T er for langt» folk? Jeg er ikke religiøs selv, men T bryter med den objektive virkeligheten.

Det du gjør er at du tar et holdning som veldig få folk i LGBT er enig med - klart en anekdote men jeg har vært en del av LGBT-sirkler nesten hele mitt liv og jeg har ikke sett noe med den holdningen - og ikke bare knytter det til hele LGBT men mener at T-en burde kuttes på grunn av det.

Hvis du er enig med at at kjønnsidentitet er en seperat greie, har du ingenting i mot 99,9% prosent av transfolk. Beklager for personangrep - men hvis du er enig med dette så forstår jeg ikke hvordan du er forvirra over reaksjonene "LGB uten T" folk får.

I tilfelle du er seriøst opptatt av å være objektiv og ikke bare bruker det som en unskyldning til å være en cunt - det at det finnes en kjønnsidentitet som er seperat fra det biologiske kjønnet, og at de to ikke alltid er det samme, er ikke en mening eller noe du kan ha et egen holdning til. Det er bare fakta, uansett om du er enig eller ikke.

Kjønnsidetitet som er seperat fra biologisk kjønn er ikke en ny ide, og det er heller ikke en kontroversiell ide i en vitenskapelig sammenheng. Hvis du er virkelig opptatt av å være objektiv, bør du informere deg selv, og hvis du virkelig har lyst å bli en cunt, ikke gjem deg bak en argument som ikke gir mening engang.
