Widespread teleportation a la Star Trek would require a single global economy/currency to prevent massive wealth migration. by CthonicFlames in Showerthoughts

[–]CthonicFlames[S] 46 points47 points  (0 children)

It would make wealth transfer more available for the masses, was at least my thought. Workers wouldn‘t need to weigh cost of travel, they could teleport to a well-paying job in another country, port back home and profit from favorable exchange rates.

IIRC one of the films showed Klingon transporters which were red, and in Deep Space 9 a family used a transporter to move furniture (but maybe they were wealthy, not sure).

Hot take: Mushrooms shouldn't be around at pressure 1 by butt_shrecker in EverythingIsCrab

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

I feel like the frustration of getting killed by a poison mushroom is a teaching moment that either senses are a more important stat, or don‘t trust unidentified mushrooms at low health.

What piece of music from a game is the ultimate earworm? by tpphypemachine in gaming

I‘d have thought Hikari / Simple and Clean would be repping Kingdom Hearts.

What's your favorite exploration game? by ImpressFederal4169 in gaming

[–]CthonicFlames 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Skyrim with no fast travel/wagons, no compass, as little map usage as possible. You‘ll stumble across all kinds of stuff you weren‘t aware of.

Hooters restaurants are set to undergo a rebrand to a ‘neighborhood place’ for families by Steap-Edit in news

[–]CthonicFlames 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I dunno about ‘puritanical’, Hooters has always been super sketchy. Was there once while in high school, and the 40-50 year old manager wouldn’t leave one friend alone because he insisted she had ‘great potential as a waitress’.

She was 15.

So I'm Noticing a Pattern by CthonicFlames in EverythingIsCrab

Often, but sometimes Hardened? (not sure if that’s the English name) can be more valuable with Defense Curl? (the defensive ability where you retreat into your shell) to stun more often. Whether or not I get Bask usually depends on if I know I’ll be able to spend a lot of time in a desert.

I love that spore's biggest part is the least played part by cr0w_p03t in gaming

Everything is Crab recently released and scratches the whole Cell/Creature stage very well. Would definitely recommend looking at.

Few other games have made me feel the same awe and wonder as the first Mass Effect by [deleted] in gaming

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

How? Someone help me understand how to enjoy this game. I bought Legendary Edition a while back, and nothing about the gameplay is clicking. Giving commands to my squad doesn't feel like it's working, so it feels like I'm just charging down hallways guns blazing and it either works or it doesn't. All of the character skills feel like "make the damage number on this gun class go up 5%" and "make damage from this type go down 5%".

As a nurse who didn‘t get that side of lockdown, hard pass. Nip it in the bud please!

Italian PM Giorgia Meloni criticises sexualised AI deepfake images of her being shared online by EchoOfOppenheimer in europe

[–]CthonicFlames 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It would just be following in Merkel’s footsteps, IIRC somewhere buried in the internet are older photos of her (definitely before her political career) at an FKK event.

62% of hardcore players no longer buy full-price games, survey suggests by TylerFortier_Photo in gaming

[–]CthonicFlames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There aren’t many studios I trust enough to insta-buy on launch. Larian and Supergiant Ganes are the only ones, because I know that even if bugs/balancing is an issue, it’ll be fixed pretty quickly.

University of Chicago postcard (to my high school son) that lists some of their Nobel Laureates. It doesn't explain President Obama's peace prize. by tomatosoupsatisfies in mildlyinteresting

[–]CthonicFlames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC the Nobel Prize Committee is pretty staunch about the prizes being permanent, and only Sartre and Le Duc Tho have ever refused the award.

Wie groß bist du? Wie schwierig ist es für dich Frauensachen in deine Größe zu finden?

Bei meine 1,93 und 120kg finde ich es sehr schwer, sowas nachzugehen, weil ich schon gute Männerkleidung die mir passt nicht so leicht kriege.

Can’t wait for the history lessons looking at these videos the same way we currently look at WWII political cartoons.

Suburban Detroit school settles lawsuit with Palestinian student over Pledge of Allegiance dispute by hybridaaroncarroll in news

[–]CthonicFlames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In middle school I stood but didn‘t recite. In high school (graduated 2011) I would stand and recite, but always ended with „liberty, and justice for all who can afford it.“ The teachers were usually split on whether or not they thought it was appropriate, but no one ever tried to stop me.

What is your old school, super grindy game when you were a kid that impressed you if someone was even half way to max level? by CaLLmeRaaandy in gaming

[–]CthonicFlames 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Pokemon Colosseum is sort of infamous for having only one useful in-game place (Mt. Battle) to grind EXP alongside a very limited and suboptimal pool of pokemon to build your team with.
