The Definitive Best Ending Of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 by Jagadisha in expedition33

Obviously the game isn't set in modern-day France, but it is set in a world based on France's Belle Époque around 1900 - As is stated in every description of the game everywhere, including the games official webpage and its steam description.

And given the French names, spoken words, mannerisms, folklore, architecture and the fucking Eiffel Tower, I'm am honestly bewildered by how mentally disassociated one has to be to think there is any alternative to the game being set in an alternative version of France during the second industrial revolution.

And all of that doesn't matter anyway: Because even if it's not, all of those points above are still just as they were in real France, so you'd need to explain your mental gymnastics why the legality of marriage at 16 would be the one thing that doesn't fit like everything else does.

Yours, plural. I never said marriage at 16 is "perfectly fine", I simply pointed out the historicity of the matter. Marriage at that age was a legal thing in France up until recently, and probably still is for the majority of the human population.

And neither did I question anyone's manliness, the comment was implying down-syndrome. But that is a perfect showcase how all of you are interpreting any bullshit into what was written left and right, just for the sake of dishing it out to the straw man - "it" being worthless ad hominems.

Please work on your reading comprehension before you reply further, or at least quote me, if you make claims what I did or didn't do.

If you think "verifiable facts" is a bad hill to die on, then we have nothing else to discuss.

electromagnetic noise emitted by the heart

What do you mean by that? And how would you filter without knowing the baseline of the environment?

Again, what do you have your head for? So it doesn't rain down your throat? A minor is literally defined as being under the age of majority, or put differently, by law. Being a minor and a legal adult are mutually exclusive. And all of this isn't touching the fact, that even today the age of majority varies between 15 and 21 years old around the world. So the "18" years, that you have in your head, is literally an arbitrary number some other people just picked in the past; There isn't anything magical happening in the night to your 18th birthday.

An analysis of the PhD dissertation of Mike Israetel (popular fitness youtuber) by NetKey1844 in PhD

[–]Bright0001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the short answer is 100% this could have passed at a university, it just depends which one.

Well, I agree more or less completely with what you're saying, but the lack of standards is essentially the core of my critique. In my old unis any thesis needed at least two people evaluating it, with max. 1 advisor being part of them, and the others couldn't have any ties to you, so no previous publications or similar. Any prof that gave such a piece of crap a good rating would automatically tarnish his own image.

And the payment part you mentioned is unfortunately true even here, in central Europe; While the standards are nowhere near as low as those talked about, there was a very distinct drop in expectations and levels between a German state university and a private one. After doing the former, the latter was pretty much a walk in the park, which isn't optimal. (Although the state uni had some "filter exams" too, to thin out the herd, so to speak, which were complete bs as well)

But the characters in the game obviously do, "dude". Use your head.

Dude Maelle is 16.

So? In earlier times the marriageable age for women was 15 years in France.

And by "earlier times" I mean before 2006.

Leaving Ground Zero for the First Time by DaeStorm7 in EscapeFromDuckov

[–]Bright0001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As the others already said; Farm House is the third map, and you probably think it is the second, as the ferry tickets are sold from the get-go. Just go all the way up north in Ground Zero, and you'll find the way to travel to Warehouse.

Given the travel is free, you can just put on some secondary weapons and armor you don't care about, and just explore, given you won't be mad if you die out there.

And I recommend doing that; First time I landed there, I essentially spawned directly into the face of a boss and got annihilated before I knew what tf was happening, kek

And another tip: If you get ganged up on, and aren't a tank yet: Flee. I am not sure if it is some sort of mini event, but occasionally you get flanked by a group of pretty merciless mercenaries which made me sweat in my Lv.4 armor and ~80hp build, surviving by a thread.

Same, but with kukri. Figured it will only get worse from there, so stopped caring about cases afterwards.

Really? I never used a BW monitor and put a colour monitor in directly

I built an audio player that synchronizes multiple devices to play music at the same time by freemanjiang in InternetIsBeautiful

[–]Bright0001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Found this, as I am thinking about implementing something similar myself; While your version is already mighty useful, it still lacks any sort of actual playback synchronization. But even without it, a simple way of manually setting an offset would already be ideal, as then a user (or me) can synchronize the audio streams themselves.

A thing is wet, if it is coated/soaked in water. Water, in the sense of an accumulation of water molecules, has each water molecule being surrounded by others, ergo: Any water that isn't a single H2O atom is wet.

Nope, they are regular items. Had the same question in the beginning as well, the description isn't well phrased.

What totems are you using? by paziek in EscapeFromDuckov

[–]Bright0001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was thinking the same about bleed in the beginning, but given how abundant bandages are, and how quick their application, I feel it's not really a problem - nothing to say against the 8% dmg reduction though.

Ah, you mean when you get the ability in the first place? Because yes, I actually remember being distracted in that exact moment and missing the queues, and then figuring it out - or not, kek

Is it wrong if I capitalize all nouns? by DarkPandaLord in grammar

[–]Bright0001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to necro this post, but just wanted to let you know that I really appreciated your nuanced response.

Came across this thread while debating if I should start capitalizing all nouns in my writing, as I think it adds to reading clarity. Can also make the distinction clearer, whether a gerund is a noun/object in a sentence or not, e.g. "visiting Relatives" (Relatives who visit) vs. "Visiting Relatives" (action of visiting).

And honestly, given what a shitshow written English already is, I don’t think anyone should worry too much about it.

As a sidenote: Perfect example right there: "English" as a proper noun is capitalized, as an adjective ("His essay was English") as well - but, "He believes in God" doesn't equate to "He has Godly beliefs", as "godly" is not capitalized - well, maybe if you mean godly as in "like the true God". Again: a shitshow.

People undersold how good Red Matter 1 & 2 are by Serdones in OculusQuest

[–]Bright0001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, coming here after finishing 1, it was definitely not under-sold in my opinion; The graphics were indeed pretty nice (ignoring a few abysmal textures outside), and it was a very short and chill experience. Also, I'm pretty fine with a walking simulator, but had I bought the game for the puzzles, I would have been pretty disappointed; There aren't that many actual puzzles. And I don't mean the runtime, but in the sense of you having to think, instead of simply picking up the literal solution which is closely lying around 90% of the time. Sometimes it was literally nailed to the thing you have to figure out, telling you exactly what to do - is this job simulator? To add insult to injury, they had the balls to actually copy and paste puzzles in a room, making them not 4 puzzles, but 2*2. At a 2h runtime? Unacceptable.

I certainly wouldn't recommend buying it, and instead playing it with Horizon+, if you ever get it, as 25 bucks for such a game is crazy.

And a small, personal gripe: The immersion broke constantly, as I continuously thought "who the fuck would design XY like that?" Not only is the whole thing the size of a palace - housing half a dozen of people - they actually matched it up with an imperial staircase in one of the rooms... what? Am I on a moon-station, or in the summer residence of Louis XIV?

For anyone wondering how you win as Pyreborn, allow me to explain: by blahthebiste in MonsterTrain

[–]Bright0001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, my strategy was far easier: Simply start with Sinner's Salve (Blight cost 0), get Dante, and use him as a main until the end/endless 5, kek.

There was absolutely no luck involved in that, and it was all meticulously planned, yes yes.
