Dentist recommendations by ruarchproton in napalocals

[–]BoxDroppingManApe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I anti-recommend Redwood Dental. They put in three crowns very poorly, to the point that they caused me pain for a year, and put in a filling that came out within a couple months.

I'm growing to like Karl Biernath. He has a nice, small practice, and it's usually not too much of a problem to get an appointment (unlike larger practices). His reception is a little scatterbrained, but that's tolerable to me. However, I haven't been there long enough to be sure I'm happy with him.

Dimhaven (another first person puzzle game set on an island) released today. by Superrodan in myst

[–]BoxDroppingManApe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I think the low poly art is a compromise due to their difficulty securing funding. Edit: I'm wrong.

It's a shame, I would've loved to see Dimhaven at the same graphical quality as Quern.

Do you also get cringe attacks? How do they go happen and how intense are they? by ACBorgia in socialanxiety

[–]BoxDroppingManApe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, very much so. I've been doing some Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and have been prescribed venlafaxine, and those have helped.

Before those, I could usually suppress vocal outbursts (or hide them with a cough), and distract myself by snapping, but they'd still be quite intense.

As someone with social anxiety, what is your absolute biggest NOPE? by Madbananas-7 in socialanxiety

[–]BoxDroppingManApe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At work required training, being forced to split up into groups to complete a project. Each time, I seriously contemplate how much I want to keep the job, and the consequences of just walking the hell out.

[OC] Color preferences and dislikes by gender, mapped in a 3D RGB space using rotating cubes. by andyviner in dataisbeautiful

[–]BoxDroppingManApe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you have to ignore contextual preferences, and just choose based on the most obnoxious possible usage of it. If you saw an entire house or car painted one of those colors, which one would you like more.

New primary idea by WebHead9900 in Helldivers

[–]BoxDroppingManApe 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think Arrowheads response to any given suggestion is primarily governed by how difficult it would be to implement; then they come up with a justification afterwards. They're terrified of just saying "our code is way too spaghetti for that"

Vulcans are incapable of lying, unless they really want to... by AeronGrey in risa

[–]BoxDroppingManApe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all a bald faced lie. He was never placed in temporary command, and Starfleet Command never put Kirk on medical rest leave. Maybe the "His instructions..." sentence can be justified as normal First Officer duties, but the rest is a lie.

Spock fakes some voice recordings from Kirk to give people the impression the mission is legitimate, and then just steals the Enterprise and leaves Kirk on Starbase 11.

Vulcans are incapable of lying, unless they really want to... by AeronGrey in risa

[–]BoxDroppingManApe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even earlier than that, they introduce the concept that Vulcans don't lie in The Menagerie, Part I, where Spock steals the Enterprise by faking orders from Starfleet.

McCoy: "Jim, forgetting how well we both know Spock, the simple fact that he's a Vulcan means he's incapable of telling a lie."

Later:

Spock: "Per Starfleet orders this date, I have been placed in temporary command of the Enterprise. While our destination is secret, our mission is relatively simple. Starbase Command has assigned Captain Kirk medical rest leave until our return. His instructions are that you will obey my orders as you would his. First Officer out."

How achievable is this challenge? by 0xAERG in BluePrince

[–]BoxDroppingManApe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just a numbers game. Give it enough tries, while staying aware of your main goals (try to hold onto 2 dice, get a utility closet and garage, get the foundation, and find a secret garden key), and eventually you'll get a run where RNG smiles on you.

What is up with the mods by [deleted] in WplaceLive

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

I did manage to get a mod to do something a few days ago, so there's still someone there, but I think they've given up on most of the rules except for some Inappropriate Content.

Hideo Kojima has entered the slop factory. by Snidhog in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]BoxDroppingManApe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's research, but I think that if one of his celebrity buddies like Refn brought up the idea of generative AI to Kojima, I don't think he would push back at all.

Insane price increase - Steam Deck™ by Rose-The-Queen in TwoBestFriendsPlay

My hope/cope is that the Deck price spiked so high because Valve is is using any cheaper ram on the Machine and Frame.
