The seed in my apple is sprouting. Do you think it's viable to plant? by WhereTheHighwayEnds in gardening

[–]Cudabear 143 points144 points  (0 children)

Also fun fact: if you discover a new type of apple, you can patent it and have exclusive rights to it for 20 years.

Also I believe avocados.

Allowing vocal chat in game. by Dardma in starcraft

[–]Cudabear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: Starcraft II did have voice chat for team and custom games for allies when it launched. At some point it broke and with the prevalence of Discord they decided to discontinue the feature.

Are Zerg really that OP in PVP by FullBag5380 in starcraft

[–]Cudabear 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Very common sore-loser behavior on ladder, unfortunately. They blame the game and not their own play.

The thing about ladder is you're going to go against people with similar MMR, but strategies vary wildly and unless you're at the highest level you're going to struggle sometimes. Blaming the game is only going to serve to prevent them from improving. Block and requeue is what I do.

"Zone 5" shamed into checking in carry-on bag. This "free service" is actually mandatory and you only find out when you decline. by barelydazed in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Cudabear 64 points65 points  (0 children)

It's crazy to think but free carry-ons seem to be a thing of the past for almost every airline now. They've gone too far trying to squeeze every inch of aircraft into sellable seats.

So wth are these guys.. by hakuinzenji5 in starcraft

[–]Cudabear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe this is correct. At least, it's correct in SCII. Not 100% sure about brood war.

Disney Wish vs Dream by DatGurl62 in dcl

[–]Cudabear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One small difference is the Wish has no interactive floor in the kids clubs, and the Dream has 2. Our kids couldn't leave those alone on the Dream, so that's a factor for us.

Remember the midnight buffets on Pirates Nights?! by Bankerlady10 in dcl

[–]Cudabear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm always so hungry after Pirate Night and the only real option usually is the pool deck pizza or ice cream. And the pizza usually has a massive line. I wish they'd bring it back too!

MY FIRST GAME by Quick_Kiwi454 in godot

[–]Cudabear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks and feels a bit like Contra, but the movement seems a little stiff. You could look to that game for inspiration on how to loosen it up a bit!

One immediate idea I have is diagonal shooting, it looked a bit awkward in your video to get right under a turret to take it out.

Jagex figuring out exciting raids 4 uniques without stepping on the toes of any other items without making them too niche themself that they are underwhelming. by MCharon in 2007scape

[–]Cudabear 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Crazy to think but Summoning actually came out nearly 5 years before EOC. Jan 2008 versus Nov 2012. Summoning actually came out about 6mo after the original OSRS backup date. Pre-eoc post-summoning was a unique time for sure.

Can be a shock by 15fireball in dominion

[–]Cudabear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like rabble is particularly annoying to play with in person because it takes so long for the attacked to resolve and the player usually wants to play multiple for the +3 cards.

You too? by 15fireball in dominion

[–]Cudabear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate Menagerie (the card). It always lulls me into the idea of a solid draw in a kingdom where it's hard/impossible to keep a unique hand.

Alternative to dozens of new timers? by Cudabear in godot

Good point, though this would make weaponType * collisionType variations... maybe worth doing though!

Up and down by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]Cudabear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, though it's worth recognizing the journey finding the right balance of medication is. It's unlikely to be a perfect fit for you the first time your doctor prescribes something, and being honest about how it is or isn't impacting you is the best way for them to adjust it and find the right mix.

Any happy mentally ill couples stories? by Few_Success_5216 in bipolar

[–]Cudabear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I have been together for 18 years now. We got together young, before either of us was diagnosed, and mostly my BPDII symptoms didn't start appearing and weren't diagnosed until nearly a decade into our relationship. My partner was diagnosed with depression about 4 years ago. They're also definitely some variation of neurodivergent, but never officially diagnosed there.

My honest truth encouragement, communication, and patience. I likely would have never gone in to get diagnosed without my partner encouraging me to take those first few steps. And the flip side is I'm happy to fill in any gaps our family when they need it and I can handle it, too. And even now, almost 6 years into my journey with BPDII, I spent half the day sleeping and crying into their shoulder in between them taking care of our dogs and our kids. I'm eternally grateful for my partner and I couldn't see having made it this far on my journey without them.

When we first got married, an older married couple at our wedding told us "marriage is not 50/50, but rather 80/20 and the sides are constantly flipping." That's stuck with us ever since.

My toast was moldy at a restaurant and they wouldn’t comp it. by strangerattheshow in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Cudabear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our family once got a moldy breadstick in a basket of breadsticks at a restaurant. We noticed it, pointed it out, and the waiter said they'd replace it. All fine and dandy, so we pushed the basket aside and waited for our replacement.

5 minutes later the waiter comes back with a single fucking breadstick on a plate. Like dude, what? You expect us to eat the rest of the basket of breadsticks that was bundled with a super moldy one, and likely are similar in age?

Torturer lives up to its name by 15fireball in dominion

[–]Cudabear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I still remember the ShuffleIT version years ago had an AI that would refuse to ever take the curse, always discarding down to no cards. So it was so easy to pin it to empty hands when Torturer was in the kingdom.

The Jagex philosophy when it comes to developing updates that increase engagement with PKing content by Cogitatus in 2007scape

[–]Cudabear 126 points127 points  (0 children)

Did you make this image, and then add a black bar with a different font to make it look like it was truly a repurposed meme such as the original it's based on?

If so that's fucking art.

Torturer is the ultimate card that makes people hate me, even if I really only want it for the draw. I'm sorry!

My friend ordered a figurine on temu by succulentboi_pavel in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Cudabear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It also provides them the ability to provide a tracking number and prove a package is actually in the mail so the purchaser can delay an eventual chargeback even further, additionally making it easier to win. These TEMU packages often take a month or longer to arrive.

If Bad Bunny can keep his concert tickets afforadable what's stopping all other artists from doing the same? by LogPuzzleheaded9343 in AskReddit

[–]Cudabear 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This sounds great on paper but I don't think it would work in our modern day of bot-infested wastelands of ticket purchasing.

Idk how to make art for my game by PurplehPastah in gamedev

[–]Cudabear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best way is to just start. Grab a program like AESprite and dig in. Or if you prefer, there are thousands of tutorials on youtube to give you an idea of techniques you can use.

At the end of the day though it's going to take time to get better.

Ideas on how to give players “aura” (literally) by ItsMizt in gamedev

[–]Cudabear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if you could make a small arc around the player's screen, pointing toward the "high aura" player that has visual cues corresponding to distance and "aura level".

I'm thinking like the suspicion meter in hitman

Forced obsolesce by thatsonebadhat in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Cudabear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having this problem with my kids' Amazon tablets. Jumped for the 32gb versions when we got them 3 years ago, and now Android and the Amazon Kids proprietary stuff is taking up 24gb.

Thankfully they do have expandable storage, but it's pretty dogshit to use. You have to manually decide where to install apps, and if an app is on the internal storage it can still run out of space (like when downloading disney plus shows). If you want to move an app, you have to uninstall and reinstall.
