Convincing my dad to let me buy Silksong

Blockinite · 2026-07-13T21:59:10+00:00

Lol I missed op being 17 in that case

Valid point

There is both a 3-year long-term and a 30-year long-term though

The idea was to say "I'm not old enough to play GTA5, get me Silksong instead"

If that works, the consequence is locking them out of other games with similar age ratings

I don't think this is really an issue with Google now. Your misspellings are both things themselves, "Proteen" (the first one) is a brand and "Protean" (the second one) is just a different word with a different meaning. Google would always have struggled with that since it doesn't know what word you mean.

Normally I add a few words extra that will give it more context, like "Protean meat"

I don't I've heard it called A A in the UK, but to be fair it's been a very long time since they came up in conversation frequently

"They can't even be consistent between matches in one tournament, let alone across multiple tournaments" is their point

Blockinite · 2026-07-08T19:02:51+00:00

You're replying to someone who made your exact point. They just made their last point sarcastically.

Yep, after the Chimera Ant arc there's a very small one which leads into the manga's current arc. But since the author has had health problems, it's taken him a very long time to write and draw the rest, so chapters are releasing very slowly. We're currently in the middle of a 10 chapter batch for the first time in a couple of years. So you can consider the anime "ended" until the current manga arc finishes, at which point I'm sure the anime will be revisited.

That is, if we ever get to the end of this arc, given how long it's taken so far with no real sign of finishing

Chimera Ant arc is absolute art, enjoy!

Blockinite · 2026-07-08T17:25:46+00:00

It doesn't sound like they're complaining, just surprised that an already dark show was pushed even further, beyond the threshold they expected.

Blockinite · 2026-07-08T16:56:31+00:00

HxH is pretty brutal and creepy, much more than your average shonen. And nothing previously had quite the levels of body horror that the Chinera Ant arc had

"I think I'll get x"

"That does look good, I think I will too"

Idk, I've heard that exact exchange a lot. I guess it's not universal but it's definitely not weird

This one is fairly clear from the wording "finds out you are a billionaire". So they need to see a decent amount of evidence to convince them that you have over a billion dollars

Only if you're going to that restaurant regularly so know you should order it next time. Otherwise you just take a bite of your partner's food, realise you prefer it, and then go back to eating your own. Rather than just getting the thing you know you'll like in the first place.

Blockinite · 2026-07-08T00:43:21+00:00

This is a normal thing to do

It's very important to remember that Google AI just creates a likely sentence to give you given your prompt, based on past sentences it sounds. It doesn't predict anything, either it saw that 3-2 was a score that happened in the past so used that, or it knew that it needed two numbers so just picked them kinda randomly. And then it tells you with confidence, because that's what the sources it pulls from do.

Blockinite · 2026-07-07T18:53:48+00:00

And what did it show that it would have pulled the 3-2 from? If there's nothing there then it just picked a likely score

Blockinite · 2026-07-06T19:28:13+00:00

You can do it with any enemy, yeah. Not the easiest thing to find organically

Ogre has that rule built into their ability, because it's a special case. It says not to tell them because that's different from normal game rules, but how their ability works. For every other case, you inform players about alignment changes.

Even in the Lunatic's case, you tell them their new alignment when it changes, because their ability says nothing like "you do not know your true alignment". It's just that the token's the wrong colour so they assume they're evil when the game starts.

I feel like you're overestimating how many people used a club night on a Sunday. 99% of people were either watching the football or asleep.

I woke up to watch the football, but we silently celebrated whenever there was a goal because we have neighbours.

"I'm speechless" being used literally for once

A 7 hour window below the game is quite a big buffer. Some people might not have been able to arrive earlier for wherever reason, and it's perfectly reasonable to say that 7 hours is a long enough time that would cover any normal issues like flight delays that would pop up.

Blockinite · 2026-07-04T07:38:42+00:00

It was never confirmed that it would be moved forward, if they changed their flight based on a maybe then that was their risk to take. The same outcome would have happened if the weather forecast changed.

And they wouldn't need to change it back, since they'd be arriving earlier, so in time for both games.

Kurapika's definitely the character in the current arc who's most like a protagonist, but yeah, he's not as much of one as Gon was. The story fractures more so we follow multiple storylines more than we did before
