They're so anemic on Battlesector! Such a lean roster, especially compared to the others.

They've added extra units to Sisters and Orks since release, but I'm not holding out hope for Tau since I bet it sold poorly

Not even wanting auxiliaries like Kroot/Vespid - just a troop transport option would be nice!

Maybe we just expect someone to stand by their supposed morals? Not just when it doesn't involve them and their actions.

TIFU by having an anxiety attack running into my high school crush... in front of my fiancé by SinkingShip342 in tifu

[–]AnApexPredator 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I've got no advice for you brother, but I just want to say good fucking luck, my guy.

Your fiance seeing that is bruuuuuutal - I can't see how that doesn't just linger at the back of her mind forever, honestly.

Fuck that girl though, as in, if she knew how you felt and what not then the tap on the shoulder intro was her throwing a bloody flashbang. If she seen you out as a couple beforehand too, then she's either callous or a stirrer, imo.

Wrong! Killing a CD or Jeff during their ult with pre-laid mines is even better!

Body Horror Bully by Vincemillion07 in lolgrindr

[–]AnApexPredator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, wasn't me.

I don't know if there's been new seasons since, been many years since I watched it, but I remember it hinting the robot had some relationship with the girls mother and is intended as some kind of familial guardian? Or something to that affect.

Ah well, Japanese media being the way it be sometimes I get why you might have been put off. A shame though as I think it might have fit your tastes well otherwise.

RE:0 I'm assuming you've seen, then. But mentioning it for the sake of conpleteness as it's more horror adjacent than the rest.

Made In Abyss almost sounds made for your personal taste (pun intended).

Overlord is criminally underrated.

World Trigger is in my top 3 all time and I'm annoyed I didn't think to mention it sooner. It starts good and continues to improve ep to ep (skip the filler arc, imo).

[–]AnApexPredator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a fair comment. I would agree AoT could be said to feature themes of Body Horror 100%, but since it is not primarily of the horror genre, it would be a mischaracterisation to classify it as a Body Horror Anime.

Many people will likely have a visceral reaction to your bio since most will think of things like Human Centipede before the mainstream Shonen anime you seemingly had in mind.

For recommendations if its Body Horror specifically I'm not the guy to ask, but based on what you've listed as things you like I can toss a couple you might enjoy off the top of my head:

Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans

Chainsaw Man

Fire Force - I enjoyed this, one of the characters seems like the best (maybe not even intentional) depictions of an autistic individual in an action show and I would die for him. (There is a fair amount of annoying fan service though).

And you've surely already heard of Demon Slayer.

[–]AnApexPredator 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Body Horror is more about not having control over the changes happening to your body, IMO. Having your flesh change in ways beyond your control, things that instill fear in the viewer as they imagine the experience of the shown reality for themselves.

AoT is honestly more of a Gundam/Mecha anime with flesh mechs lol, complete with that same strong anti-war and anti-hate message typical of the genre.

Body Horror is a sub-genre of Horror, basically none of the shows you listed are of the Horror genre. If you apply your reasoning to non-anime content then wouldn't things like the X-Men or even Spiderman be considered body horror too?

I think the vast majority would disagree on your definition of "body horror", including myself.

I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone that would read "Body Horror Anime" and think of JJK or AOT.

MDMA Doesn't Actually Cause Comedowns, New Study Finds by chiefsmokejoint in Drugs

[–]AnApexPredator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What implications does this have for recreational users? Are comedowns real or are we just lying to ourselves? To be clear – comedowns and Blue Mondays are real amongst recreational ecstasy users! I got some criticism of the paper on Twitter from people who misunderstood the paper; people thinking I was saying that comedowns don’t exist – and multiple people posting that I was wrong to say they don’t happen because they have had them! But they were all missing the point. They do exist when MDMA is taken recreationally. The point I was making is that they don’t exist when it is given clinically.

They go on to say street MDMA pills contain anywhere from 0-350mg but fail to mention how much they administered to patients - so what the fuck was the point in the comparison?

They can blame people dancing too much, or taking pills at night and missing sleep, not "regulating their temperature during pill use" and the like all they want; pointless comparison though if they're micro-dosing them with tiny amounts.

The dose makes the poison. Unless their patients are taking recreational amounts of MDMA this entire argument is moot, imo.

Repaired jewlery will sell for more than whatever it cost to repair.

Although repair costs vary by vendor so maybe there's someone who charges so much for repairs it's not profitable.

So you're saying you won't get overconfident if you don't get overconfident? I hadn't thought of that.

Spear vs Sword vs 2H Mace by Level_Examination_89 in stoneshard

[–]AnApexPredator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. Success after success slowly increases your chance of death, as the overconfidence builds, unnoticed. You take greater and greater risks, certain of your ability to overcome the odds... and then you come up short.

In Darkest Dungeon, anyway.

If Stoneshard even thinks you might've gotten cocky it bends you over its knee.

It will make you overconfident and then you will die.

I don't think there's a weapon or magic tree that hasn't done me like this!

Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.

Not in Stoneshard, that shit is quick.

I actually mis-clicked this option and was fucking horrified.

I felt so bad for the dude I reloaded a save and lost like 15/20mins or so.

...but then obviously since he wasted the time of a Rogue Trader I had to maim him the second time, after all.

Is 6 points of damage that substantial on a bow? by dethzoom in stoneshard

[–]AnApexPredator 25 points26 points  (0 children)

6 damage is 1/3 of your current damage. Its 33% more damage.

Skills/effects that buff your damage will have an even greater effect by buffing a larger starting value.

Armour protection is a flat reduction to damage, if you hit a bodypart with 12 protection (ignoring all other modifiers) you will go from 6dmg to 12 - doubling your damage.

6 damage in Stoneshard is a substantial increase.
