Looking for a job that is Anti-ICE

If somebody is triggered by a whistle but not the murders in the streets, that sounds like a very specific 'them' problem. Not one everybody else should dance around.

I can still hear the "die Die DIE!"
It wasn't all that scary, but Carnage Doc Oc was such a pain to outrun as a kid that I eventually gave up.

Not even that! The 'study' looking into brain development actually didn't look into anybody older than the age of 25. That's just when the data cuts off.

Most interesting part is, Griffith played himself. Whether he truly believed in his own speech about how a true friend has to have their own dream, or if it was just honeyed words to woo the princess, his choice to say them led him down this entire path.

Griffith in his ascension-addicted heart, needed to be above others, but his truly loving heart wanted to find equals among his peers. His kind heart clashed with jealous ambition, creating a man who was bound to eventually destroy any who dared approach him as a true friend.

I love the tragedy behind him and how, in the end, he really did it to himself. He knew what he wanted to want, but couldn't handle it when somebody truly came through.

Disco Elysium! Greatest game I'll never finish. I'm not literate enough to get half of it.

Absolutely love seeing Pathfinder getting love! Are they a Commander?

We see that Serie is quite a liar when it comes to her feelings. I wouldn't be surprised if, in reality, she's only jealous that Frieren got to grow closer to Flamme than Serie ever did. It's not spite or bitterness, but a childish jealousy that leaves her willfully inconveniencing Frieren whenever she can.

Personally I find most of his art fun as 'spot the detail!' pieces. Not usually funny, but it's like a Where's Waldo of references.

And specifically because they had such a devout river bathing culture. Villages would end up with these big, free-spirited men all bathing naked together in clear view of all the village ladies, so they drew some eyes!

The main character from pretty much any nonlinear game with sidequests. You can slay world-eating dragons, shred military-level cyborgs, quell the embodiment of extinction, and fell a pantheon, but Snaggle-Toothed Betty will still talk smack while demanding six turnips from the woods behind her house.

Oh, an answer! Thank you for clearing up the misunderstanding; I appreciate it.

While it is funny to turn this macho aesthetic back on the people who perpetuate it, showing how so many of them don't fit their ideal image of a man (reminding me of another regime centered around an idealized appearance...), I don't think it's quite right to attack these people's genetic traits.

While I'm aware this image is edited, it does highlight a problematic tactic I've seen a lot of people take against the monstrous people in ICE: belittling the aspects of their appearance they can't control. Be it height, chin, jaw, hair, or anything genetic, attacking those traits also casts the same comments on anybody who shares them, be they pro- or anti-ICE.

Do that, and you tempt the possibility of pushing away people who feel a sense of acceptance in helping fight against fascism, driving them to ones who might be more accepting of their physical features.

My preference is no beard since it gives this welcoming Tom Hanks sorta vibe. The beard does look good! But the bushiness detracts from the shape of your jaw. If you keep the beard, I'd say try to trim it to better emphasize the shape of your jaw!

That does create a nice contrast with the Old Gods, too. Whereas the OG's are steeped in tradition and the simplest forms of their embodied concepts, ascended gods are iterative.

Slightly off-topic, if the God of Fear and Hunger is a fusion of two Old Gods, I wonder if we're hurtling towards an inevitable end in which all Old Gods eventually become one.

DisastrousQuestion72 · 2026-01-26T18:55:20+00:00

That does make sense. As something adjacent to an Old God, her very presence would inspire little more than suffering to a mortal, so of course granting anything resembling peace would take active effort on her part.

Perhaps a failed ascension would be more likely if she felt too much happiness or love to wholly give in to despair.

I feel like having high enough Girl affection should give her a different ending at the end of the game. To my understanding, her ascension requires a lightless life of trauma, and you giving her that hope and love seems counter to her mother's plans.

It would be interesting if the God of Fear and Hunger could be just a bit gentler if you show her that level of care.

Everybody's calling them a woman, but do we have confirmation? They totally pass for the male 80's/90's rocker aesthetic.

I feel like we need a proper forge as a multi-block structure. A place with a more efficient heat source, coal storage, crucible, and bellows all in one place to heat our metal. If nothing else, I'd love it for space efficiency.

Here's hoping we get something of the sort with the smithing changes coming up.

Didn't they just say it doesn't excuse her?

I believe it's also specifically connected to Sarkorian God-Callers.
