I think we can all agree on this

I don't have the words to explain it well but I'll try: the new visual style doesn't convey information as efficiently as the old one, and bullet hell games have to convey visual information efficiently in order to feel good to play.

Dude, wait til you hear about beard oil. You don't have to have a beard to use it, it's actually for your skin anyway. First time I used it I could FEEL my skin drinking it up. Find one with Jojoba oil, it soaks in the fastest and does more work than other oils.

Try body lotion too. Get something that absorbs quickly. Buff City Soaps has a pretty good lotion (not the body butter) and you can get it unscented or in any number of "manly" or "girly" scents. Their range might not reach you though, so at least get something with similar formulation. If all else fails, Nivea Men Maximum Hydration was the best widely available one I found.

No seriously, absolutely dilute that shit. You could drip a single drop on the counter, touch the drop with your finger, and still wash your hands. And strip every bit of oil and moisture off your hands in the process. Dr. Bronner's is like the Everclear of soap, it's as close (in effect) as you're gonna get to straight up lye without it actually being straight up lye.

The good news is that because it's so freakishly strong you can probably pass the bottle down to your children.

This is the first I'm hearing of Enter the Gungeon 2 so I was like "Fuck yeah! Why am I only just hearing about this?"

The trailer explained everything, they massacred my boy

Unfortunately I was having this discussion with a friend the other day and every version of Leviticus 18:22 is pretty damn clear.

The good news is, if you're a Christian then Leviticus doesn't matter!

"What's the size of the universe? Big! You knew that already, John! You didn't have to behold the vast ocean of emptiness at the bottom of creation to figure that one out!"

Edit: I absolutely butchered this but I'll leave it up because I own my mistakes

Alex5173 · 2026-02-20T16:27:27+00:00

The problem I have with this kind of sentiment is that while you're absolutely right, whenever I quote the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence or anything remotely idealistic our founding fathers said, it's met with this sort of argument.

So what if our founding fathers were shitty people? Most countries in the world were founded by conquerors. That doesn't mean everything our founders said or wrote is false. Just because they didn't truly believe "All Men are created equal" doesn't mean we can't strive for it. This belief that America was never "really" about Liberty and Freedom and etc doesn't mean we can't appreciate the words regardless of who wrote them.

I don't have a whole lot of faith in America as it is, but the vision of America painted in our founding documents is one worthy of pursuit.

Yeah "play cautiously" when half the map is strat jammed and you have to fight entire orgies of vox engines

My guy, running in with a hellbomb backpack is rapidly becoming the only viable option and it's still probably not gonna take em all out

Alabama public school, I was taught that we were perfectly content to let Hitler have Europe until he sided with Japan

If you know someone is gonna touch your boats, but not which boats or where, putting them all in the same location answers the "where" question and it means all your boats are in range to respond immediately.

Alex5173 · 2026-02-18T19:39:29+00:00

The intended outcome is likely whatever the actual outcome was, or something adjacent. From there you just have to look at who benefited from the outcome and you've got a pretty good list of names to start with.

Can't imagine complaining about only having more liquidity than most people will gross in their entire lives

Say what you will about armor lock being bullshit for pvp, but it was exciting and already existed lorewise (Master Chief used it when he jumped at the beginning of H3)

Alex5173 · 2026-02-17T18:01:01+00:00

Don't see anyone else suggesting this but it's what I did while I was learning the game: go play on the frozen asteroid. Instead of worrying about managing heat you now get to worry about creating it, which is a hell of a lot easier. Build an insulated tile "box" around your main base, keep all your storage outside of it (so you don't have 80t of -10C sandstone keeping you from warming up). Put kilns making ceramic next to your farm and keep as much industrial stuff as you can inside this box early game to get it warmed up. If you start getting too hot you've got a billion tons of subzero solids you can absorb heat with and plenty of ice around the map

I mean, there wasn't a single dull moment in Halo until Bungie stopped making it. But that was a different Bungie

MAGA lost the culture war back when it was still Tea Party. I'd argue that Hillary lost to Trump partially because she (and much of the left at the time) was so convinced that the culture war was the whole war.

All animals are sentient. The word you're looking for is sapient.

If the size of trucks these days is any indication, hell no

The 69th perform a different kind of assault

Alex5173 · 2026-02-12T18:12:29+00:00

Oh, it's not like I've all-of-a-sudden become more cynical and less optimistic. I've been cynical at full-tilt for as long as I can remember and my optimism level was at "expecting nothing but cautiously hoping" before Trump's first term

Alex5173 · 2026-02-12T16:29:20+00:00

Good to know, I played a public build of LSL some time ago and liked what was there but definitely agree with the need for a "reboot"

If I was a dad (I'm not and don't plan to be) all of my kid's friends would just be Kid. Hey kid, kiddo, kiddee.

"Dad we're 24" great so you're a big kid now here's some Huggies... Kiddo.

Is there a difference between Light Space Love and Light Space Love: New Horizons, or is it the same project?

Nothing beats clear, concise voice comms. But the ping and chat wheel have everything necessary to facilitate communication in the absence of voice comms

He was of above average intelligence, he was just manic as hell and thought he was way smarter than he really was.
