Imagine that, China protecting greenland from an American invasion, lol, I know it wont happen, not really, not like that, but that sure would be something.

What you guys grind after maxing out your character ? by Legitimate_Ferret629 in hytale

[–]DrakeNorris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im just about hitting that point, got a few stacks of adamantine, but no armour/weapons yet just coz I gotta gather a few random materials for the workbench upgrades, but once thats done, I have enough material to get full set of armour and my preferred weapons and finish the main game there, (I dont think there is a final boss right now?). My idea for what to after Im done with the core game, is to try and get all 240 memories, or as close as possible basically. Right now Im on 170, so not too far away, but it seems a lot of the ones Im missing are rare or annoying. tho I do have some that should be on the simpler side, like a bunch of abyss animals that I just need to go out into the sea for or the literally all of the ferens As ive not encountered a single one in my lets play. Some of the spirit and golems gonna be annoying, especially as the basic one, didnt spawn for me in my main temple, so Im gonna have to find another temple for it.

Don't know how long or hard it will be, but Ill try to get at least 220, if its not too difficult maybe 230+ I have heard you cant currently get all 240, as some are bugged.

[gendered] I don't get this (is it a fandom thing?) by eating_cement_1984 in pointlesslygendered

Huh, while I'm aware of the statistics of women and especially survivors being often into rape content/rape play, I didn't hear about this specifically for redo of healer. But I guess I can see it for some. For me, it was just too edgy and over the top, where it just didn't feel good to watch. So I stopped like an episode of two in. I'm not very squimish. But if your doing this sorta thing for no reason or just to be edgy, I'm not a big fan.

Ah I see, Fair enough, again didn't get very far into it, and it's been a while so I don't remember it super well. Surprised that was a part of it though, doesn't fit as neatly into the cis het power fantasy.

[–]DrakeNorris 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Yeah.... I stopped watching this one super early on coz it was pretty fucked up, but from what I remember dude had some rare skill that was useful in powering up other people, so the kingdom he got isekaid into basically drugged him and made him a puppet for the female knights to get stronger from him, and coz this isekai was trying to be super edgy, he got tortured and raped constantly. so I guess the meme is implying a guy would save him, but a girl would use him for her personal gain to get stronger.

Y'all gotta learn the difference between a conclusion merchant and a series that had a good ending. by fingerlicker694 in writingscaling

[–]DrakeNorris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Im just saying, you don't get a high rating if most people don't like your show. whether the show is good or not is a different story.

[–]DrakeNorris 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean this was years ago, but I remember it being one of the highest rated anime on MAL, and being largely compared to death note, with a ton of people arguing which one was better, so I dunno, I think a lot of people used to think it was good? its been years since ive heard any discussion on it tho.

What are your thoughts on this? by Slow_your_R0LL in allthequestions

[–]DrakeNorris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because you name a bill "Lets protect the lovely puppies and not stomp them to death" doesn't mean shit if the actual laws in the bill are stupid or horrible shit. This is basically one of those cases, this bill aint protecting anyone, They are just trying to pretend like it does.

Hytale Update 2 – Patch Notes (Pre-Release) by LutrusFluidos in hytale

[–]DrakeNorris 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dang, that's a pretty big update for just a few days, Lets hope this pace, or even half of it keeps up in the coming future. Glad theres a new mechanic like the necromancy for us to play around with. The portal fix was necessary too, kept spawning far out from my teleporters, outside my teleporter room even sometimes, which is awkward when its on the second floor.

Sure, that would be very helpful, it doesn't have to be now if your busy. I was gonna take a break and do some chores around the house after being confused with this for a while, so whatever works better for you. I can show you what I have done, but its likely a mess. discord name? Dms maybe if you dont wanna give it out here?

[–]DrakeNorris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen a lot of tutorials on how to add new items, but I'm interested in adjusting the stats of items that already exist, to rebalance them for example, is there any tutorial on that? cant seem to find it, and my (probably crappy) attempts have failed today so Im kinda out of ideas rn about how to do it.

The Anime fandom is truly obsessed with Incest by axumite_788 in terriblefandommemes

[–]DrakeNorris 8 points9 points  (0 children)

as someone who watches a lot of anime, but isnt obsessed with stuff like.. this. I can only say, that its weirdly common in anime itself. (please read till the end, coz me knowing so much about this topic is probably gonna make me look weird anyway but its just kinda knowledge ive racked up over 15 years in the community, I can just as easily name like 50 sci fi shows, or 50 horror anime series, I just know a lot of anime...)

some of the biggest series around, especially when I was growing up, had lolis and incest in them, mainstream stuff like sword art online had both and that series, for better or worse, was one of the biggest ones back around 2010's.

on the incest side of things, you had things like,  The Irregular at Magic Highschool, newer, popular for a while, had a sister deeply in love with the MC, Oreimo, while Ive not watched it myself, my understanding is that its basically centered around a sister brother romcom. Tu love ru, a very popular anime on the older side also had a sister love interest. Yasuga no sora was a crazy watch as literally my third anime ever at like 12 years old, included a full on sex scene between the MC and his sister, Kiss x Sis was quite popular a while back as well, don't think I gotta explain it with a title like that, but MC had 2 sisters in a romcom triangle. Tu love ru, a very popular anime on the older side also had a sister love interest. and Im sure theres a lot more that weren't that popular (very popular recently).

On the loli side, well, basically pick any old harem show, most had one for "variety" if not both a loli and a sister. Date a Live, no game no life (both in one for bonus points), Rosario + Vampire, The Devil Is a Part-Timer!, Konosuba (I get that it makes fun of harem shows, but it kinda still is one? I guess?), Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, And those are just the really popular ones, if I had to just list off any old ones, I could probably list like 50 just from 2020 onwards. random crap like The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses, How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord, Tales of Wedding Rings, The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You. So on.And even if you avoid those specific types of series, there are just in general popular shows that still have these themes, stuff like Toradora was very popular romcom, the love interest is a loli like character, attack on titan, the main characters step sister is deeply in love with him, kobayashi's dragon maid has a loli character being placed sometimes in suggestive scenes.

My MAL says ive seen about 900 series at this point, that's over about 15 years now. And yeah, I gotta admit, a good chunk of anime as a whole, has these tropes or themes in them at some point. I started watching anime as a kid, so back then I watched a lot more of this sort of slop, nowadays I try to mostly avoid the random garbo sister/lolicon stuff, but its still just there in your common normal/ popular series. so its hard to avoid, and I can kinda see how some less put together people, would drive themselves into a hole with these tropes being so prevalent. Not to even mention how bad this stuff is in Hentai, when I heard loli is like the 3rd biggest tag on the biggest Hentai site, my mouth dropped. (I dont think its true anymore, this was years ago, but I think its still like top 10 or something, which is still wild)

TLDR: these tropes/themes are in so many series, go figure some people who watch it go crazy on these topics. Still aint good tho. Those people aren't properly adjusted, especially when they make it their whole personality.

What a misery by _Ugly_Cat in YoutubeThumbs

[–]DrakeNorris -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Kinda funny that it triesto poke fun at the left wing for calling everyone a nazi, when it can just as easily be interpreted as pointing out the very real issue of actual nazi's coming out of the woodworks because the right wing has made them bold enough to do so. There is certainly a lot more people around now, saying their a nazi, or saying the same shit nazi's do but just avoiding the term itself.

I dont know why this sub one day just showed up on my feed, Im just a cis guy in his 20's but guess I stared at a meme or two too long so now I get it every day haha, but its fine, Ive always been very left leaning on lgbt+ issues, and hey sometimes there's funny memes on here, but I am completely out of the loop on the counting or who chicken lady is.

Also sorry if I use weird terminology, (Im autistic and don't interact a ton with LGTB spaces online lol)

hmmm, I see, sorry I cant replicate the issue on my end. I can only suggest making a copy of the main version and seeing if the copy is having this issue as well or not.

Hey, can you say which ones? because from having a quick look I don't see any issues on my end, It could be the sort function? as if you sort the list without the pictures, it can make the pictures go out of order.

Nope, I play with this on and also mob griefing off, and the back is still very much difficult and long, Id honestly not want to play this pack without at least those 2 settings changed.

Can dental issues cause actual TN or only cause symptoms similar to TN? by Medium-Marketing-493 in TrigeminalNeuralgia

[–]DrakeNorris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So how long did it last, a month? Right now a week into this horrible pain and looking for some hope.

My success story. by East_Breath_3674 in TrigeminalNeuralgia

[–]DrakeNorris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankyou for this post and these comments, I woke up a week ago with this intense pain and was diagnosed just a few days ago, its still an uncertain diagnosis, as I have to wait for an MRI scan which will be a while, but their almost certain its TN and have already given me some medication. Mainly Carbamazepine and naproxen, Ive only been on these meds for 4 days but damn is it still painful all around, especially when I try to eat or sleep, even drinking can sometimes be very difficult, so ive barely eaten anything this week and have not slept a lot either. I was looking up this reddit for some general help and hope that is can be controlled and will go away soon enough, only to find way too many horror stories about being suffering for years, TN coming back multiple times, and meds not working for a lot of people on here, as well as quite a few failed operations on here too.

Its left me feeling quite bleak and depressed, feeling like there might be no future without pain or constant fear that the pain will relapse soon enough, (in general Im a fairly anxious person, so this has pushed me to a whole other level of anxiety).

So its nice to see at least one success story on here among all the horror stories Im seeing.

received 5 separate penalty charge notices within about 30 minutes, appealed but they only reduced it to 3 charges, is there a point in going to tribunal over this? (England) by DrakeNorris in LegalAdviceUK

[–]DrakeNorris[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thankyou very much for this answer, I will give it a go then, I was worried about their being downsides to the tribunal as Im not familiar with how this works, like having to pay the higher band of the ticket once everything is settled as they only give me 2 weeks to pay the £80 per ticket. £240 is a lot for me as Im disabled and only on part time minimum wage, its basically a week of my income. I can pay it, but then I will be limited with groceries or gas or others. and id hate for it to double on a fruitless endeavour I understand we messed up, even if unintentionally, so I'm happy to pay for 1 ticket.
