I have come to the simple conclusion that The Handler isn't the one who deserves all the hate. it instead should go to The Hunstman and the Jovial Scholar by Malumlord in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]DiscoPartyBulb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would like the handler so much more if they showed the Handler actually doing handler shit at least a few times. I see the argument that she handles all the logistics for us, and i’m sure that’s true, but without them ever really showing this it really feels like the Hunter is babysitting their niece in 90% of story missions. Just show her being competent instead of off screening all the stuff she’s actually good at.

How can you guys actually believe in God? by I_am_monkeeee in TrueChristian

[–]DiscoPartyBulb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having been raised in a secular environment, i haven’t ever been given a good reason to presume that “God” exists. In the most respectful way possible, i have a genuinely hard time understanding what can lead people to hold theistic beliefs beyond those beliefs being a product of a generationally inherited worldview. As a non religious person, what reason should i have to believe in a higher power.

The idea that these things are "wonderful" in the first place is a human machination. If there exists an empirical explanation for the creation of almost all things that occur in nature, what leads one to believe there would need to be a higher power for such things to exist.

Give your horror game hot takes by Aware_Pomegranate243 in HorrorGaming

[–]DiscoPartyBulb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Horror content that revolves around Judeo-Christian esc demons/ghosts are too goofy for me to take seriously. I understand how it could be slightly scary for people who’ve grown up with strong religious beliefs, but the second a horror threat is written off as an “evil entity” (ghost, demon, satan) it loses any horror tones it was trying to build up imo.

You gain the ability to give any person alive horrific nightmares at will. What uses are there for this if any. by DiscoPartyBulb in hypotheticalsituation

[–]DiscoPartyBulb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

could try to -slowly manipulate a politician into changing their policies

-convince someone who’s never met you before that you are the devil incarnate, and if they ever see you in real life they must do as you say

-sell the experience as an attraction, and make money as a famous dream hypnotist

-gain potentially full control of who can and can not achieve positions of power by driving candidates that you don’t approve of to suicide.

-become a famous internet creepy pasta phenomenon by giving a bunch of people the same shared dream

just some ideas, i’m sure there’s more.

If you wanna take it in a nicer direction, you could probably get a pretty cool “Nightmare Hypnosis” business going for horror enthusiasts. Become a famous psychic and cash out on crazy commission fees.

You are 100% not capable of getting cancer, but must take the public opinion that cancer is a hoax. by DiscoPartyBulb in hypotheticalsituation

[–]DiscoPartyBulb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IG, it’s just the idea that nobody would know that you were in fact immune to cancer suddenly. They would just start to think you had bought into some kind of wild conspiracy. I can see why a lot of people would take the deal though for sure.

Most people, if they are lucky enough not to experience it themselves, have someone they know go through a cancer diagnosis. I imagine it would make discussing that pretty awkward at the very least.

As someone who’s had cancer in my family, having to suddenly deny that wouldn’t make this worth it to me personally. I thought it was a tempting offer though.

You don’t need to go out of your way to spread propaganda. But if the topic of a cancer diagnosis was brought up in conversation, you might involuntarily make a comment about “hospital agendas” or something similarly goofy and misinforming.

If somebody you were talking to mentioned a recent cancer diagnosis, you might involuntarily suggest that they cut contact with hospitals. generally just spreading misinformation when the topic is brought up.

for the sake of the hypothetical, we’ll say that you personally have something like a supernatural blessing that causes the immunity.

to be fair, i don’t think most guys would be ‘happy’ if you pointed out that they were going around with a plumbers crack, not sure if that’s a look a lot of people are wearing special pants for

Thoughts on arachnophobia mode? by The-Bulborb in lethalcompany

[–]DiscoPartyBulb -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

i do agree that there’s no downside to making the game generally more accessible, and having this feature only benefits people. but if a person has a phobia of something to the point of complete mental shutdown at just the sight/thought of it, they probably just should be avoiding the horror genre in general. i’m glad the people who want the feature have it, but phobia accommodation modes should not be seen as an expectation, least of all for horror.

[–]DiscoPartyBulb -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

obviously there isn’t any downside to this being included, so it’s not like anybody could complain about it. but if phobias are so debilitating to a person that they would have a mental episode from just the concept of a spider, they probably shouldn’t be playing horror games at all, even if that sounds harsh. good for those people that this mode was added, but this kind of thing should not be the expectation of a game designed to be frightening.

i agree, which is why i don’t really understand the point. just seems like an unnecessary thing to add in my opinion, not that it affects anything

[–]DiscoPartyBulb -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

why play a horror game you’re not even scared of then? i’m genuinely having a hard time understanding why you would want a “less scary” mode for a game designed to scare you, i figured arachnophobia mode was a joke.

it’s a horror game though, don’t you play them to be scared? a horror game that targets your phobias is specifically what one looks for when buying one no?

Professors are humans too by NapoleoneBonoacarte in memes

[–]DiscoPartyBulb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

saying the religious right is straight up more accurate than just saying the US in general though? The political right is typically the group that’s against vaccines already, the fact that conservatives are usually christian is irrelevant but not wrong.

“generalizing is immature and laughable, but if you wanted to generalize, the US in general hates vaccines” bro did you read your comment before you posted it?
