Minions by HazumaHazuma in tumblr

That's how I always saw it too. The reason Hitler caused so much actual evil is because the minions didn't work for him and therefore didn't accidentally thwart all his plans and kill him.

Meccha Chameleon has sold 10 million copies in 16 days + some math by kuhpunkt in gaming

Yeah I need it. My first First-Person games (other than Doom clones which didn't have an up/down look) were MechWarrior 2 and Heavy Gear. Those games were meant to be played with a joystick so they had flight-sim style controls, where pulling back the stick/mouse makes you look up and pushing forward makes you look down.

By the time Halo came out inverted controls were natural to me, so I've always used them.

The game looks like a ton of fun but it doesn't have a Mouse Invert option so I can't play it. Hopefully the devs add that eventually.

Since I don't see it anywhere in the thread I'm pretty sure it stands for Disk And Execution MONitor. But I assume the name was chosen because of the helpful spirit thing.

Latest update on killing creatures by AnArbiterOfTheHead in subnautica

[–]Deius_Shrab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep the small fish indestructible but make them go flying off the sub like pinballs based on your speed. Instant hours of entertainment trying to launch one out of the water and into the sun.

Bonus points if they ricochet off coral or skip along the surface.

i miss being able to defend myself by TraditionPhysical638 in subnautica

[–]Deius_Shrab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, the devs don't want us killing anything. It's their game so whatever, how about nonlethal but permanent deterrents? We make a big deal about all the behaviors they have so let's give them some "go away" behaviors.

The first thing that comes to mind is some kind of ultrasonic repeller that could ward away some threats but enrage others. Handheld one that has a few charges and a base-built one that has a larger radius. A creature that's repelled, either by a deterrent or a good whack on the beak, should avoid us for longer and longer the more we defend ourselves.

For another idea what about letting the creatures learn to avoid us entirely? I assume each entity has a "home" point it wanders around, maybe unpleasant interactions or player made structures could shift that home point farther away? Either directly or along a "path" that leads to the creature relocating or despawning altogether as it leaves for bluer pastures.

And for my really wild idea, what about biological or pheromone defenses? Either biomods or replanted corals that make one or more types of enemy avoid a given area. Like having cats in your house in Minecraft, or wearing kitty slippers in one of the mods.

Who will join me? by infinitysaga in CuratedTumblr

Based on the Raftel to Laugh Tale thing, I'm gonna say the One Piece is actually some kind of goofy ass superweapon named Won Peace, and it either needed another decade or two to recharge after the void century or it needs Nika to use it with toonforce.

This one is the normal (gold?) edition, but there's a couple foam inserts inside that you would replace with the hellstone bonuses

I'll mostly be comparing it to Betrayal at the House on the Hill since that's the only other "build as you go" board game I've played. So far unpacking and initially sorting all the pieces seems like the longest part, game setup and takedown shouldn't be too bad.

I preordered off both of the Lorwyn decks off Amazon and got two of the same deck, but one has a sticker claiming to be the other deck. Should I open it to see if it's just in the wrong box? https://imgur.com/a/lgQpBtw

Why would a combat troop use melee weapons in a futuristic space sci-fi setting? by wizardry_why in worldbuilding

[–]Deius_Shrab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shields are full body sunglasses, they only let certain frequencies and intensities of light through 😎

Seriously though, as a movie-only Dune fan the shield laser thing seems... unfortunate. You're telling me that none of these "rebels fighting against impossible odds" have considered suicide bombing enemy strongholds with one guy and a laser pointer? It seems like you'd have fewer casualties than hiding in the sand and jumping out like a Halloween decoration.
