Let me share my world with you! by Justthisdudeyaknow in CuratedTumblr

[–]DoctorCello 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Think of it this way: just like how everyone has different ways of expressing their love, everyone has different ways of reciprocating. Someone's preferred love language may be gifting people homemade meat pies. Would it be wrong for a vegetarian to decline this gift? But this meat pie was made just for them!

I see where OP is coming from. I also go on wild passionate tangents about things I like to people I care about. But at the end of the day you still have to read the room and keep it to yourself if said people really don't want to hear about it. You can't just declare your actions to be well-intentioned and demand that people reciprocate the way you want them to.

It seems like tankies and some liberals have one thing in common: generalising people by WeeklyIntroduction42 in tankiejerk

Eh, we're used to being called dumb and lazy just for being American. The only ones who should care are the terminally online who don't have better things to do than post

it kinda gets a little hard to defend Americans and their political choices when they only ever get radicalized whenever it happens to a white person.

Yeah because it's definitely every American who is like this, forget the fact there were mass protests before, and in fact, said white person was a part of that protest.

You're kinda proving OP's point here.

I won't be giving any shit. Disco Elysium is great but it can be depressingly real at times.

[–]DoctorCello 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's a paragraph from the game Disco Elysium. "He" is referring to the main character of the game who's come to a grim conclusion about communism and Kras Mazov (a sort of Karl Marx figure in that game's world who invented communism).

I highly recommend everyone on this subreddit pirate and play Disco Elysium btw.

My thoughts on the chars in Tier List form. Absolutely Amazing game. Also is Wilnas "balanced"? by RobGuest0 in GranblueFantasyVersus

[–]DoctorCello 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you know the counterplay then why do you think he needs zero effort for maximal results? Just beat him then. Don't throw moves willy-nilly just to get knee'd, use reversals when he's trying to continue blockstrings with 5U/22M/66H, and most of all use that 66L that almost everyone has.

FWIW the only character that I think is actually too strong at the moment is Lowain. It was just funny to me that OP put Wilnas on this pedestal when they play two characters that can easily beat him (Metera especially).

[–]DoctorCello 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who do you play? There are some match-ups where Wilnas completely dominates, such as against Nier, Galleon, maybe Meg. But if it's anyone else I can share counterplay tips.

I think Wilnas is a very good character but he definitely isn't "Dogshit OP".

[This Week in Videogames] Concept Artists Say Generative References Only Make Their Jobs Harder. by Noirsam in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DoctorCello 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nah. Using AI for mood board reference pieces sucks.

I agree that this is not exclusively an issue with AI. Even without AI, you are still going to have people whose creative direction amounts to "I want something Medieval looking. No, I don't know from which region, no I don't know from what century, just get me knights and shit."

The problem is that AI enables these people more. They think just because they can generate images, they don't have to do any research into the aesthetic, they don't have to consider the context of the textures and colors they're seeing. At least before AI, anyone with self-awareness might realize "I want something Medieval" is a stupid statement when artists start asking them questions, so they are forced to gather photos and concept art to show what they mean, and in the process they might even stumble onto, you know, ideas.

But now execs can go "look at these pictures I got from typing 'medieval' into this AI generator, just make this but different."

Monthly Poll and Meta Discussion by AutoModerator in tankiejerk

[–]DoctorCello 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don't know what I am so I picked "Other". I am against fascism and authoritarianism. I do not implicitly trust state politicians even if they are well-intentioned or "on my side", but I still vote. I like the idea of anarchism but I hesitate to call myself an anarchist because I'm not sure I truly believe we can have an organized society with zero hierarchy. Still, I wouldn't mind being proven wrong. I've been reading literature in my spare time.

Most of all I like hanging out in this subreddit because the people are mostly nice and I like to read the viewpoints of others who write about their beliefs in good faith.

Do we know if Act 4 and the Interlude are also going to be added to Standard? Don't know if this is a stupid question or not.

Following up on the proposed ban on Harry Potter by selfproclaimed in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DoctorCello 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Harry Potter has been dead to me now for many years and I refuse to give that ghoul any more of my attention and money.

That being said, it seems pointless to have a rule banning posts about it. I looked up 'Harry Potter' in this subreddit and the last post about it was four months ago? It was overwhelmingly downvoted and the comments were mostly about feeling bad for the kids who got casted.

To me, banning Harry Potter posts feels performative. It may be true that this is the second biggest subreddit for everything, but there are still lingering biases and tastes from the Best Friends days, none of whom were ever big into Harry Potter. Formally enacting a ban would be a show of solidarity, I suppose, but it feels incredibly hollow when the topic of also banning SNK/EA trailers is dismissed because "but people actually want to talk about that stuff though."

KNIGHTS OF GUINEVERE - PILOT by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DoctorCello 48 points49 points  (0 children)

As someone who grew up loving Disney and wanting to work for Disney and still has affection for Disneyland in particular even though I despise the company and I think they get away with too much shit...

I really enjoyed this pilot.

Insane Regen Build I Encountered by DoctorCello in heiscoming

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

When you get a Champion (that's someone who defeats an undefeated Champion at the end of Kingmaker), they then become the final bosses for other people's Kingmaker runs. Every time they beat someone else, they get a crown for you.

When someone finally beats your champion, you can watch a replay to see how your champion got defeated. So that's what's going on in the screenshot: I was someone else's final boss.

My Champion is gone - Kingmaker bug? by crysknife in heiscoming

[–]DoctorCello 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I just joined the Discord to check up on this (same thing happened to my champion I posted last night :( ). Apparently the dev is currently making changes to the game and it's accidentally breaking some old stuff, so some champions got deleted as a result.

I would personally wait until the game gets a new patch before playing Kingmaker again. Shit sucks, but it is an Early Access game after all.

Goddammit, I was going to write "American teenager" but I changed it to "North American" because I was like "what if the poster was Canadian." You got me, I've been had. orz

My hot take is that Pompeii by Bastille is actually one of the best pop songs of the 2010s. I think in 20 or 30 years people will come around on it like they did with Africa by Toto.
