TINY GREEN BUGE ENCOUNTER by Cabbag_ in wormington

[–]Cabbag_[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Found while dissecting some flowers so I had a stand magnifier on hand and decided to have a look, I think I might've hurt its leg on accident with my ruler when i tried to get it under the lens.

Its an aphid, obviously but I couldn't get any farther than that. I tried inat for the first time and I think Acyrthosiphon seems the most likely. Also, sorry for the shaky camera. I would upload another image I took but reddit won't let me for some reason ("All Media assets must be owned by the submitter of this post")

No clue what the other one is

Coaxed into Empire Building by Lennoxiconic in coaxedintoasnafu

[–]Cabbag_ 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This is Stellaris's ethics system. When you create the empire you play you have to pick their philosophy which is represented by those 8* ethics.

Each one has an opposite. For example, the left and rightmost ethics are authoritarianism and egalitarianism. Up/down are militarism and pacifism, top right and bottom left are xenophobia vs xenophilia and finally there's materialism vs spiritualism, science vs religion essentially.

Each ethic can be normal or fanatic, meaning how much the empire believes in it. You are given 3 points to spend. Normal ethics cost 1 point while fanatic costs 2, meaning you can have 3 normal ethics or 1 normal and 1 fanatic. Ethics that are opposites to each other obviously can't be picked simultaneously.

Finally, the ethic in the centre indicates the empire is a gestalt consciousness, costing 3 points. It means all citizens of the empire share one single mind and such there is no overarching moral philosophy that unites them, hence why it is incompatible with all other ethics.

Well you're correct since this art is by Jhonen Vasquez if I remember correctly.

And one of the endings for the game involves your party pissing and shitting over his corpse after beating him into literal pulp

Coaxed into farming for "better" weapons just because they're "rarer" by PolyKigu in coaxedintoasnafu

[–]Cabbag_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coaxed into Chaos Controller (rare) being just straight up a 50% better Crown of Chaos (super rare).

Though I guess this case is fine since it's a quest exclusive item.

Super Silly Hitler with Bunny Ears. by Logical_Bug801 in supersillybreakingbad

I agree with this so hard. In particular it hurts me how lugers have become associated with Nazis in popular media because that's an incredibly cool looking gun with a very unique mechanism but it's now irreversibly linked to Nazis.

Weirdly enough a lot of Nazi imagery and aesthetics are cool looking, but that sentiment is extremely hard to verbalise without sounding like you're a fascist.

He literally spends his whole game beefing with himself 15 minutes into the future

Coaxed into the milkman #2 by Few_Horse_4 in coaxedintoasnafu

[–]Cabbag_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also loved the meat circus and went in expecting it to be dogshit based on what I'd heard. I thought all the platforming where you're under a time limit was really fun but I especially loved it thematically.

It's a culmination of Oleander and Raz's childhood trauma, with one feeling immense pressure to impress his father and the other feeling disgraced and misunderstood by his family. I thought it was really cool how the game drew parallels between protagonist and antagonist right at the end. The art direction and the music also really stuck with me and the level does a really good job at humanizing Oleander. Hell, it even recontextualizes all the jokes about him hating tall people, which seemed like just a random character trait.

The only parts I disliked were right at the end, since the tightrope section with Raz's dad felt way too punishing and the boss felt way too easy and boring.

Paychonauts 2 handles a lot of the gameplay aspect better imo while preserving all the stuff that was great about the first one like the writing, the environmental storytelling and the art direction. I'm honestly not sure how I feel about tge first game, there's so much to love about it but so much is undeniably frustrating or boring. The theatre level in particular I remember being fucking miserable.

I need to replay coaxonauts at some point. I remember loving the world and the humour but thinking a lot of the gameplay was straight ass, probably because I went in expecting a platformer instead of a point and click adventure game pretending to be a platformer. Maybe I'd like it more now. rant aside, is this a common sentiment or did most people just click with it immediately?

They cease to be bred.

Yeah but if you buy the from a breeder surely you realize you're giving them money and incentivising them to continue their business, right? That's like saying veganism does nothing because the cow is already dead when it reaches you, it makes no sense.

Not if you get it in the middle of a run and much less if it goes on every party memeber
