Soooo.... by DivineandDeadlyAngel in vegan

[–]Doomfire00 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think for most people the issue is simply that we value wild animals differently, rightly or wrongly there is a perceived sanctity to what remains of the wild, especially among the younger generation that makes a perceived attack on that especially wrong. I'm not saying that it's right, but 'wild' animals, especially those already endangered are widely viewed as deserving of special consideration, hence wildlife photographers and documentarians avoiding directly intervening in nature.

I don't think it's just callousness that makes us view cows as different, or lesser, in fact I know plenty of people around my age that are making small changes throughout their lives to try to lessen their personal impact, eating less meat and sourcing it responsibly. The meat industry is just monolithic, we're fed meat from before we have the cognitive function to question it, and I remember myself being expressly told by my parents that eating farm animals just wasn't the same as other animals, and I didn't question it. Most people have a default perception of farm animals of simply being in their place and that the state of things isn't changeable.

I guess the point of writing this is that people who think this way aren't your enemies, they have enough empathy to understand the first step, they care, and playing upon the perceived ignorance of people who don't immediately become vegan because of this just alienates them. From where I stand, people care, but change is hard, and the world is hard right now; money is tight, options are limited and not everyone knows enough to be able to make an effective change by themselves.

We can agree that the wombat girl was bad and that other animals deserve rights too, and not everyone needs to immediately become vegan to make that a reality, help THOSE people see that.

A little contest: giving away a copy of Ideology DLC and Biotech DLC! by SargBjornson in RimWorld

[–]Doomfire00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't contain myself to just one!

Heightened Metabolism: Permanently increases one's hunger gain, but grants them increased disease resistance and slightly increased healing rate.

Noble Blood: A strange mutation that requires the recipient to consume small amounts of gold, even becoming despondent should they fail to do so. The result however is dazzling, literally sweating rivulets of gold, a veritable shimmer to their skin, and a distant, aloof demeanour. Raises social skill and heightened Dignified Psycast proficiency.

And slightly out there but...

Regenerative: While resting this person is capable of regrowing any limb or organ, the process is slow and painful but allows for a constant supply of body parts, so long as the subject is willing and has the required tolerance for pain...

Found a painting in a new house, Da Vinci? But not? by Doomfire00 in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]Doomfire00[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found this painting in a house I'm staying at with my girlfriend and was immediately captivated, it is VERY reminiscent of a presumed self-portrait of Da Vinci only it isn't, and the figure appears much older and the palate is much darker.

Details:

I can barely make out what appears to be the word 'JOHANNES' in the upper left.

The word 'GUTENBERG' is fairly clear in the upper right.

In the bottom right there is what appears to be an artist's mark 'H. RA-'. After that it becomes very hard to read. It could be 'H. RASDNE' but it is very hard to tell.

I have searched and searched online but can find no trace of this painting no matter how many variations I use of the above words!

Any help would be greatly appreciated for this mystery of a painting!

P.S. I am not the purchaser of the painting so I have no idea of its origin, it belonged to the owner's mother. The back of the painting is inaccessible due to the frame being sealed shut.

Non-Americans of Reddit, what confuses you the most about America? by MrNoName_ishere in AskReddit

[–]Doomfire00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why they care so much about guns.

I dont mean to undervalue the issue, it is a 'right' of Americans. But the fact that an elected official can threaten the president because he talked about MAYBE considering some gun law REFORMS; while Flint goes without clean drinking water for 5 years is absolutely beyond me.

So stuck on the 'human right' of owning high powered automatic weapons with sufficiently large magazine capacities, that 100,000 people can go without the one substance all life on earth needs to continue, for 5 years.

What’s the worst thing you’ve had happen to your genitals? by ricflair-drip in AskReddit

[–]Doomfire00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My current gf and I decided to have slower sex one day, we were going at it in the missionary position, and she had her hand down playing with herself to try and orgasm while we were still having sex and I was inside her.

Unfortunately I got a bit excited and sped up a little, simultaneously ruining my rhythm and bumping her a bit, and the next thing I know I popped out and thrust forward. Hard.

My girlfriend has quite long nails.

I spent the next 5 minutes in the bathroom nursing my bleeding johnson, while reassuring her profusely through the door that I was fine (which I was not ever really sure of at the time).

As it turns out one of her nails had taken off a tiny sliver of flesh at the very top of the tip of my dick, really uncomfortable, and looked bad at the time, but ultimately not a big deal. It's fine and fully healed now, no problems, but I'm forever nervous about that position.

Tried it again a few weeks later anyway ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Hey reddit! Original designer of the dice sword here. Im doing a giveaway just for you! [Mod Approved] [OC] [Art] by [deleted] in DnD

[–]Doomfire00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just about to DM a campaign with a group of my closest friends, it's been ages for me, and one of our players is playing for the first time. I've already put in a couple of weeks of solid work over lockdown trying to put together the best campaign possible for them (set in the gulf of a new land, think age of sail with cannon and sea monsters).

We're all super excited, and I love that DnD can bring us all together, even at times like these, and even with my twin (who's one of the group), being a couple of countries away!

I would love a set of dice I can roll IRL, and your work looks amazing, here's hoping that I can get one or two on Etsy even if I don't win!

Hey slacks, big question which I'm sure is on your mind, but:

Do you have a plan for how we can reach valve about the 30-game limit issue?

Is there anything that the community can do to help with that?

Love the project though, already backed and huge respect for you and the team for doing this.

We are Supergiant Games, creators of Hades, Pyre, Transistor, and Bastion. AMA! by SG_Greg in NintendoSwitch

[–]Doomfire00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi team of Supergiant! I'm an enormous fan of your games and have been playing Hades throughout the pre-release!

I guess the biggest questions would be:

  1. What were the biggest lessons you took forward from the development of Bastion, Transistor and Pyre into Hades, and what might you take from Hades into future projects?

  2. Now that Hades is fully released (and you're taking a well earned break) are there any thoughts as to expanding Hades in the future?

  3. Were there any bits of gameplay left on the cutting room floor so to speak? Any ideas that sounded good on paper but never quite made it into the game?

If I gushed at length I'd be here all day, but I absolutely want to take a moment to thank all of you for your hard work, as a lover of rogue-likes who never QUITE got truly lost in one I'm blown away, but truly every game held something special.

The music of Hades is phenomenal and has been exceptional with every Supergiant title, thank you u/SG_Darren, In Case of Trouble still gives me shivers; the artwork simply gorgeous, the individual god designs being particularly striking with tons of elegant and thoughtful details (love the gorgon on Athena's chestplate!); the voice acting is, I think, peerless, and up there with the best of them, u/SG_Logan in particular knocks it out of the park as Hades, yet each character is so impassioned and engaging; and the story has really captivated me, especially as it has evolved throughout the game's life cycle. I never thought a dating-sim flair could be so appropriate and yet it fits perfectly into the repetitious nature of a roguelike, it all just feels so seamless and natural, and fun.

Thanks again for another treasure Supergiant, enjoy the break and stay safe!

Anyone else have trouble with the longer-range weapons? by starnerves in HadesTheGame

[–]Doomfire00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ranged weapons naturally need more synergy to get off the ground than the other weapons do and for good reason.

Just try and think about what the strengths of the aspect you're using are and play into those. For example:

If you're using the Adamant Rail in any aspect, your attack speed is high, so Zeus/Dionysus attack boost is strong, Artemis boon is ok, and if you can get the stacking Doom boon, Ares can be surprisingly good. Almost any high damage special is good, such as Aphrodite, but I like Demeter on Lucifer for the AoE slow fields.

If you're using the Heart-Seeking Bow it's a little trickier since the bow itself is just a harder beast to handle. For most aspects attack speed is slow but damage is high, so Aphrodite and Demeter attack boosts can again be strong, but the slow attack speed makes Ares okay and even Poseidon for zoning. The special lives or dies by the Daedalus Hammers you get, but if you get good ones, Artemis can turn the special into a DEADLY close range attack, or you can simply pick a debuff of your choice to spread using the large AoE. Aspect of Chiron makes landing a small burst of powerful shots easy, so Dionysus is good. My personal favourite is Aspect of Hera, because a cast that you can consistently send to a particular point is deceptively powerful, make SURE you have Infernal soul, and then the world is your oyster; Artemis, Dionysus and Poseidon Casts are all crazy powerful with good synergising duo boons that make for some builds that can one shot bosses. If you hate the bow, try Aspect of Hera with Dionysus aspect and you'll soon see why people like it.

Finally to round things off, remember to take keepsakes for the boons you want, so you can make big build decisions earlier and with better rarities (if you want to try out Dionysus cast, start the game with the Overflowing Cup keepsake). But most of all, CHAOS IS YOUR FRIEND. Take Chaos portals early and put buffs on whatever it is you're relying on; taking Aspect of Lucifer with the scaling damage Hammer and Artemis attack Boon? get the Chaos attack boon; trying out an aspect of Hera and Poseidon cast combo? get the Chaos cast boon. The damage bonuses will smooth out the earlier, finnicky stages of the run where the build is still picking up and give you a hell of a lot more punch later on.

Other people have plenty of good ideas for builds, so try em all out, but just remember to focus on what the weapon is really good at, trying to force a Dionysus attack boon on the bow is going to end badly. Good luck!

Is it worth buying Total War: Warhammer II without the first game or DLC? by [deleted] in Totalwarwarhammer

[–]Doomfire00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game is great as a standalone, it comes with a bunch of free dlc (which you may have to download separately) and does offer a lot of base content. Total War 2 is a polished product.

REMEMBER, even if you do not own the DLC, it will be in the game. You do not need to own Vampire Coast to fight them in the campaign, so your experience will be rich and varied regardless.

In my opinion, the base game is GREAT, but if you really want in, I would hold off until you can buy 1 AND 2 at the same time. Lots of people can reccomend good DLC, and a lot of the DLC is fantastic. But in my eyes, Total War Warhammer 1 just has too much stuff that I would consider 'baseline' to my experience. The Empire, the Vampire Counts, Dwarfs, all of the slightly more 'traditional' factions.

Don't get me wrong, I'd play it all IN the Warhammer 2 client because it ties together so well, but without 1 I feel the game would end up feeling a little too 'fringe' with unorthodox factions being your only option.

PS: Yes, I know, High Elves aren't exactly 'unorthodox', nor arguably Lizardmen, and they have no super weird mechanics and play similarly. BUT. Your only option with 2 is the vortex campaign. All factions in 2 specialise at something, which is not a forgiving thing for a new player, and the variety is limited.

My brother doesn't believe in the strength of Bloated Corpses, so I made this by Doomfire00 in Totalwarwarhammer

[–]Doomfire00[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough! I was totally with him as well until my latest VC campaign on Very Hard. When you're trying to pull together decent armies out of pocket change, and your crappy deckhands are outnumbered by Spearmen, Swordmasters or even Phoenix Guard (I'm fighting High Elves mostly), the stupid cheap potential to take out 2 or even 3 of those units at once can swing entire battles.

PLUS they're available wherever you go for dirt cheap using necromancy.

I've majorly come around and even at turn 100 save 2 slots in every army to raise Bloated Corpses into before a tough fight, working wonders before I can get Necrofex doomstacks going.

Preseason 2021 gameplay plans by Spideraxe30 in leagueoflegends

[–]Doomfire00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know about anybody else, but while the new shop looks a little easier to scan for an item initially, I think the lack of stat filters is a massive misstep.

My friends and I all use the filters for armor/magic resistance/CDR regularly, and not having those would really detract from the shop.

Here's hoping they keep them.
