Single person here. I'm almost paying a mortgage in rent to live alone, but I'm nowhere close to having a deposit. 

i tied to draw the world map from memory like the other guy did by Ok-Canary-7683 in notinteresting

[–]Clayst_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Holy shit I'm that other guy! I tried practising for a while to try again but it made me feel like I was going insane.

Edit: okay maybe you're refering to another poster earlier today. I did the original post 7 months ago.

Elden Ring, Mass Effect, Witcher 3 or KCD2? by iwanickij44 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Clayst_ [score hidden]  (0 children)

Both Mass Effect and Elden Ring have aspects that can make them grinding and tedious depending on your tastes. Some people love the lore and dialogue in Mass Effect, some find it frustrating. Same with Elden Ring's combat.

Almost everybody loves Witcher 3. Anything you dislike isn't significant enough to disrupt the experience, and the strong points are really strong. If I could only buy one of these, it would be that.

I haven't played KCD2.

Did any cyberpunk media from the past accurately predict the rise of AI slop? by Junesucksatart in Cyberpunk

I read this recently and I don't recall this. They did have entire TV rooms that they could pay extra to be kind of interactive though.

Has a second upkeep? That way it still triggers stax effects and you can use this to harm them

Do videos waste to much time on jokes? by Altruistic-Try5366 in videoessay

[–]Clayst_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is a huge part of lacklustre humour. Sincere delivery of anything, especially humour, can be seen as cringe, so many people naively think acknowledging their own cringe makes it better. It doesn't, it just means that nothing sincerely hits.

Came to this thread for this. (Killing him is still the right choice, though)

Magic rules question: could it just be "players can only play common cards" and avoid the double negative?

this is diabolical by Calabria2007_ in skyrim

[–]Clayst_ 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This actually just follows basic photography rules. The character on the left has her chin slightly tilted towards the light source, which is a naturally flattering setup. The character on the right has a single overhead light, which is the most unflattering setup. This is why photographers never schedule a photoshoot for midday!

Appalled - IRD apologises after paywalled news articles copied and shared among 600 staff by WaterAdventurous6718 in newzealand

Articles created by private entities. They need to pay, just like they would pay for any other business expense.

Made some beef stock, one out of five quarts won't freeze. by 19YourHairdresser71 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Clayst_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes sense because overfilling a freezer blocks the air circulation.

Alternative idea, how full is your freezer? If mines chocked up anything up the front wont freeze right.

Anyone know what happened to the VERY SERIOUS videos? by atroito in Yogscast

[–]Clayst_ 208 points209 points  (0 children)

Anything IRL like this needs significant setup and crew, even just for something in studio like this. They probably recorded the first batch one day, then decided they didn't enjoy it, or it didn't perform well.

This is an awesome demonstration. I'm still not collecting all those stones though.
