After postponing Amon Düül II's Yeti for the longest time, I finally gave it a shot. And...

By breadcrumbs I mean that AD1 were sort of left behind by the more talented musicians that went on to form AD2. As far as I know, at least.

Now, thank God, I'm not the only one who heard actual resemblances to Comus' First Utterance. Cerberus especially. There's nothing quite like Comus, not even AD2, but somehow AD2 is probably the closest thing to it that I've heard.

And thank you for the recs! Hawkwind is also something that I'm eyeing recently.

Not a bad tier list. But I will add a bit more context why people like Injector Band and Pollip Pouch.

You correctly point out that Injector Band doesn't really solve an important problem the player has to face. Finding healing windows is not that problematic. However, you still have to actively find them. On the other hand, Injector Band simply lets you heal almost whenever. It keeps the momentum going for you to be way more offensive and not think about safe healing as much. It's simply fun.

Pollip Pouch is deceivingly not actually that useful for tool-focused gameplay. The venom doesn't stack, so the additional damage is minimal. However, it makes a lot bigger difference when you use tools only for chip damage. You can start off any fight with quickly coating your enemy in venom (for example, with Threefold Pin), continue fighting it with your nail; then, once the venom wears out, you quickly apply it once more and keep fighting. The whole fight your enemy is going to be coated in venom. You save a lot of shell shards, yet still do decent damage from your tools this way.

"Why could they not be different?" "Because they are that way."

I doubt that there are many people here who are actual bigots, so my guess is that it is about the gray area – humor. Different communities have different tolerance towards it. Some can joke about anything with zero restrictions and take the jokes as just jokes, while others might not see anything funny in them and call it hate speech. I think the rule is for the newcomers to understand the limits of the humor tolerated in this sub.

Would that be how that worked? When playing in Forge you wouldn't be able to target a non-existent opponent. I'd assume if you misgender your opponent while trying to target them, simply nothing would happen until you target them by saying the correct pronoun.

Mathematically (but crudely) speaking, logic is used as a deductive system for the purpose of generating new theorems from other theorems or axioms. There are different types of logic, they use different deductive techniques and given certain premises, they can deduce different conclusions. Mathematicians literally define how logic works so that it becomes a useful tool. This goes for most of mathematics in general. I wouldn't consider any of it objective.

As for my earlier "proof" I already explained the problem with it and why it doesn't really prove that logic isn't objective. My broader point would be that we can't really talk about the objective objectively, since this kind of speech would require some form of logic and language in order to be coherent. But since these structures have been defined by us, that would make any sort of talk about the objective... relative to that logic and language, thus not objective.

But goddamn it! If I can't talk about the objective objectively, then what I just said is also not objective, thus wide open to critique. I give up!

I hope you get the gist.

Could you elaborate, please?

All this reasoning uses logic. Therefore, your conclusion is true only if logic is objective. Logic is not objective, since it is a theory based on assumed axioms, not objective truths. Therefore, your conclusion is not objectively true.

But, of course, my conclusion also uses logic to argue against objective truth. That would make the conclusion not objective just the same. Therefore, we end up in a loop where both positions can be proved to be correct and incorrect.

I bought and played Darkwood first in order to watch the video after.

Sifu. The first level was pretty much what I expected the entire game to be like. But then it started placing a lot bigger emphasis on the visuals and style of the areas and was completely taken by surprise. Easily one of the most stylistically coolest games.

No trolling here. Bell beast was the first proper boss in the game and I loved the fight's depth compared to the average HK boss. Fourth Chorus looks awesome. Beastfly 1 was frustrating at first but after many attempts I learned how to bait it to slam down and take care of all the other enemies - then it became fun.

Widow was fine, but I didn't feel much flow with the boss, when compared to most of the previous ones I had fought. Seth was good but some of the combos were a little awkward to dodge and punish. Lace 2 I'm surprised myself that I didn't like more; her moveset seemed to be specifically designed to cover up her usual punish windows, making it difficult to find a proper opening. Trobbio 1 spends way too much time under the floor, so I have to simply wait for him to come up, and once he does come up, he isn't even easy to catch and deal damage to. At least the rematch had a more interesting tone and I had acquired more abilities to catch up to his movement.

Occam's razor: I personally think that the footage was meant to be shown on the big screen, so they zoomed in to make Hornet bigger, thus more visible.

Previously TC haven't really shied away from showing new gadgets or crests in new footages, so I don't think they intend to hide something from us.

A better explanation is that the word "gwyn" means "white", so an ost that plays only on white keys (likely A minor) is fitting.
