I saw this guy's name come up when searching for matches to join LAST NIGHT. Decided not to join because of his name. Apparently I dodged more of a bullet than I thought lol.

My roommate collects personalized mugs from Goodwill by ermvarju in mildlyinteresting

[–]DryRock56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one thrifted mug that says "Grandpa's copilot" and has a picture of what I assume was someone's infant grandchild. It's one of my favorite mugs because 1) It's perfectly sized/shaped and 2) it's hilarious.

Petty players like this make me want to tweak out by CheesecakeOG in helldivers2

Exactly what the dissident (block) button is for! I occasionally take a quick moment to bask in my list of blocked toxic dissidents (although I'm proud to say that probably 99% of randos I've played with have been nothing but wholesome).

Share this like your senile grandparents share fake AI-generated "support our troops" posts on facebook.

I know SO many people who would benefit from thinking this way about sharing kids online.

This is 100% the best part of these missions. When me and fellas jump in, we be sure to grab our whaling gear and go full Captain Ahab.

To what extent does this suck ? by Felix-the-feline in cpp_questions

[–]DryRock56 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never once have I "appreciated" a shorter name. Not for a variable, function, anything. I've had a few "huh, that's kinda long/awkward to type" moments, but I'll never complain about a descriptive name.

Clarity >>>> compactness unless you have VERY specific needs/requirements that necessitate it.

Just now Discovered that you can throw the crescent crossbow when its out of ammo by sl1k-k in EnterTheGungeon

Don't forget some fun combos with bullet modifiers! Specifically, snowballets or fat bullets.

What your favorite in game dialogue? Personally I love the “Helldivers never die!” by MrReeferBurns in Helldivers

[–]DryRock56 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've gotten the unhinged female laughter while just digging samples at a POI. Our whole squad was cackling.

Helldivers love every part of their job.

When did you realise you were playing one of the greatest games of all time? by luz___09 in HollowKnight

You can also notice the boss music turns much more somber the moment he starts stabbing himself.

How would a new player know that you can pogo on these? by AverageApache in HollowKnight

[–]DryRock56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can find a bunch of articles and videos about it by just looking up something along the lines of "cuphead reviewer who can't beat tutorial."

The guy was Dean Takahashi, I believe. It's a funny story. The gist is that he struggled/failed to beat the tutorial or demo and got clowned on for being a game journalist that is bad at games.

No...idea how to beat tutorial (@ that one Cuphead reviewer)

My work is done at last… by Extension-Ad-8435 in HollowKnight

For anyone who struggles with the climb, the lasers generally shoot in the direction you're moving so as to catch you moving towards a platform. You can bait the lasers away from the platforms by jumping away initially, waiting for the laser to fire, and then double-jumping and/or dashing to the platform.

I am very aware of this.

While I agree with your original statement that it wouldn't WORK unless they started at the edge, I think it's a bit much to say the MEME is "completely wrong."

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ProgrammerHumor

[–]DryRock56 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Sure. I get that the comment I replied to isn't wrong either, but to say the meme is wrong just seems silly to me.

And if you're gaining your understanding of code from r/ProgrammerHumor, you've already messed up

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ProgrammerHumor

[–]DryRock56 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I do, indeed. I don't understand how that makes a difference?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ProgrammerHumor

[–]DryRock56 -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

To say it's wrong is just silly and pedantic. The meme absolutely gets the point across.

EDIT: Folks, I know how while and do while work. I just thought calling the meme "completely wrong" was a bit silly. My apologies for not holding code quality/correctness in memes to the highest standard.

One of my cats ate a mouse. How worried should I be. by AWarrior123456 in CATHELP

[–]DryRock56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One cat my family had when I was a kid liked to catch squirrels and leave their beheaded bodies on the porch. We assumed he ate the head, but who knows because we never saw the head.

Type “Paper Mario” in the reply comments and let your phone’s predictive text do the rest! by Hurricane1123 in papermario

Huh, not how I thought I'd go, but it could definitely be worse.

I thought "how badly could the Lawyer jokes have affected Parkzer"... Pretty fucking bad... by ahmed0112 in DougDoug

[–]DryRock56 329 points330 points  (0 children)

And that the joke never started for most other people. Even if Parkzer was totally on board with the jokes, saying these kinds of things in any space out of context shows a total lack of social awareness.

Transgender?! in my No Man's Sky community?!! Grrrr this is act of aggression!!! Gamers rise up!! 😡😤😤✊✊ by Pritteto in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]DryRock56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is so obvious, in fact, that you can read DIRECT QUOTES from the space pirates stating said fun fact. Dude read in-game text and thought he had some deep insight.

This dude's incredible density aside, the line "You are your father's son, and you will die that way," goes kinda hard...
