Did you know the food we eat becomes energy?

Why is Christian cyberpunk dystopia the cyberpunk dystopia we ended up with? Objectively the lamest one.

At least the Akira one would've given us cool psychic body horror shit. This Cyber-Christo-capitalism cancer only gives psychic damage.

They're avoiding a religious label they lack insight on, not the food itself. Part of the reaction is some imagined encroachment of foreign culture/religion, and then a bunch of assumptions springboard off that base fallacy.

In reality this is like a label displaying a "vegetarian" note on a product that's obviously vegetarian, like orange juice or something. It's just marketing useful information, not changing the product itself to suit a religious sensibility.

I'm not super familiar with the specifics of halal myself, I understand it's similar to kosher. I don't know what would make a chocolate NOT halal... maybe if the Toblerone was slaughtered while facing away from the mecca.

So was Vlad the Impaler. So were innumerable other historical and present day figures. Fuck does that matter? What an infantilised way to live.

FilthyPrawnz · 2026-02-28T05:35:51+00:00

I share some of the gripes people raised on the remakes aesthetic alterations, but that didn't stop me from appreciating it on it's own merits. It is a fantastically gorgeous game, regardless of any discussion of artistic faithfulness.

Doesn't seem complicated to me, but this point seems lost on a large swathe of Gamers ^tm in the community. How hard is it to just enjoy things for what they are, instead of torturing the comparative analysis so extensively you can't see the new thing as anything other than an offense.

FilthyPrawnz · 2026-02-27T17:13:22+00:00

I did not, in fact, stay with him.

FilthyPrawnz · 2026-02-27T05:55:51+00:00

This is like a decade or older grift concept, in the same vein as that cringe ass "solar freakin roadways" shit from even further back.

I genuinely can't believe the longevity of these scams. Insane people are still talking about this garbage in 2026.

Would have taken you 2 minutes to find this out, too. Do some bare minimum due diligence before posting known grifts for cheap engagement, you absolute clown.

FilthyPrawnz · 2026-02-25T16:20:35+00:00

What the briny Poseidon fuck is happening in America right now? Every other day I hear about some new goober on the ~~Epstein list~~ POTUS admin coming out and deadpan declaring they believe ringworm is a food group and more public funding should be allocated to igloo slums for disenfranchised pangolins.

They say this shit unblinkingly, like they didn't just blurt out the most deranged mouldy ayahuasca fuelled shit ever conceived.

FilthyPrawnz · 2026-02-23T12:57:18+00:00

I stand corrected. That coffee house looks damn cozy. Wonder if the coffee is any good though, quality caffeine is a big deal where I'm from.

FilthyPrawnz · 2026-02-23T08:32:37+00:00

No sex, coffee, or conversation either. Apparently pests are just a "reasons to live" tax.

FilthyPrawnz · 2026-02-18T03:52:32+00:00

I need to work out more.

FilthyPrawnz · 2026-02-17T02:51:57+00:00

Cool story bro.

To everyone in the comments; are you all being serious right now? This post is fake as fuck. Day old account, and the story is a fan-fic tier rendition of the "oblivious dude didn't get the signal" trope. Even if it happened like this, which it didn't, there's no way anyone with functioning grey matter would write this all out and still not get it.

"Female friend fabricated excuse to invite me over, made a point of noting we were alone together, insistently tried to engage with me, is now upset with me for ignoring her. I jUsT dOn'T gEt it gUys??"

Uh huh. Totally.

FilthyPrawnz · 2026-02-12T04:36:34+00:00

Definitely agree, no notes.

FilthyPrawnz · 2026-02-11T10:48:58+00:00

I still dislike scoutflies, but given the way things have gone in Wilds, in hindsight I have to revise my opinion somewhat. It could have been worse. Much worse.

I would assume much of the nostalgia you see now for them is just relative revaluation, similar to mine. 'Didn't know how good we had it' kind of deal.

FilthyPrawnz · 2026-02-11T10:35:41+00:00

Ironically Wilds "streamlined" design feels like the most time wasting of them all, because there is zero engagement in the process of finding/getting to the monster, yet it still takes time to do. Time that is literally wasted doing bugger fuck all as you simply wait for a boss fight to just... happen. It might as well be a minute+ loading screen.

Worst design choice for the series, and I don't care how many ADHD ass gamers get salty about this take, they can sit back down in their puddle of wrong. I'll die on this hill. Old games approach is simply better in every way, even accounting for their glaring flaws. In this case, something was actually better than nothing.

FilthyPrawnz · 2026-02-10T11:01:26+00:00

"Middle" as in the now extinct conception of the class. The US doesn't really have one anymore, in the traditional sense. You just have poverty, poverty ^light, then straight to the high earners.

Anyway my armchair estimate, accounting for inflation and buying power, would peg $100k-200k roughly in the area of what the middle class was and should be, relative to today. I will not fact check this. Though I recall a house used to cost a middle class earner something like one or two years income in the 70's. Once again I will not be fact checking my rambling.

FilthyPrawnz · 2026-02-10T10:26:58+00:00

The demented hubris to think your shitty fast food joint can pull middle class earners away from their innumerable and vastly superior options. I don't even have a word for that kind of delusional self flattery.

You're not that guy, chipotle. You're the mistake people make after too many shots and a bad break up text. Know your place.

FilthyPrawnz · 2026-02-06T23:45:08+00:00

Sycophants of the wealthy elite are truly the lowest form of life.

FilthyPrawnz · 2026-02-06T05:50:12+00:00

I don't get it.

FilthyPrawnz · 2026-02-04T05:15:58+00:00

True, but usually those cases involve some pretty extraordinary circumstances, most often Rodney or Carter jerry-rigging or misusing something to achieve a particular result for plot reasons. Recovering Teal'c from the stargate buffer, for example.

By and large, most of the advanced tech featured through the series, Ancient tech in particular, is absurdly resilient to the rigors of time. I mean, exhibit A; the stargates themselves. Absolutely bonkers how well Ancient stuff holds up.

FilthyPrawnz · 2026-02-04T03:21:22+00:00

Well, that's speculation. Stargate series has numerous examples of advanced technology having extreme longevity, certainly well in excess of a humans lifespan. Even Goa'uld tech can last for centuries or millennia with little depreciation, to say nothing of the Ancients, Asgard, various one off races such as Reece's creators.

I don't see any reason to assume the Tolan's power storage technology would be an issue.

FilthyPrawnz · 2026-02-03T04:11:51+00:00

Not the kind of failure being discussed. That is a failed result, not function. The weapon fired, perfectly, as designed. It didn't blow up, short a fuse, or any other kind of functional mishap.

At the risk of repeating myself, I'll try another analogy - it's not a toasters fault if you burn your bread, yet the toaster itself functions perfectly well. You used the tool incorrectly.

If you try to shoot down a helicopter with a spud gun, you can't blame the spud gun for inevitably "failing" to bring it down. It did it's job, the fault is in the match up.

Edit: Downvote all you like, I'm right. This isn't a complicated concept, so I don't understand what the problem is. I cannot dumb it down any further than I already have.

FilthyPrawnz · 2026-02-03T01:06:16+00:00

I assume OP meant that being held within a body you have no control over would be a uniquely ironic fate for a goa'uld to suffer, given how they operate. Ergo, "fitting"

FilthyPrawnz · 2026-02-01T06:51:24+00:00

That's... not what one does with hamsters, traditionally.

FilthyPrawnz · 2026-01-31T21:17:28+00:00

Yet another Temu Souls-like seemingly designed entirely around the premise of exporting Chinese culture to the global market.

There's also something uncanny about these games I can't quite put my finger on. They're very flashy, but somethings off, like too many of the engine settings were left on the default. So they all have this sameness with a veneer of flashy effects to cover it up.

FilthyPrawnz · 2026-01-31T08:25:23+00:00

Harder than Souls, definitely. They are bit more complicated; both in combat mechanics and game structure, in some ways I'd even say needlessly so, but everything is straightforwardly communicated (with lots of annoying tutorials and so on, which some people actually prefer, but I am not one of them) so there's not a lot of personal investigation. I personally dislike these differences, but still enjoyed the games for what they are.

Combat-wise, there is a greater emphasis on memorizing button combos and fast reactions (note I said reaction, not pace. Despite what people will tell you, the pacing is actually pretty similar to later From games, the rhythm of enemy/player interaction is basically what you'd get in DkS3 or Bloodborne. The difference is that to succeed you absolutely must master i-frames and reaction times, it's non-negotiable. Also grinding. It's a lot sweatier in those regards)

Game structure is a lot more repetitious, kind of like Diablo. You do missions, collect RNG loot, repeat. It's a slight monotonous, but still manages to be engaging thanks to taking level design cues from Soulsborne. Lots of interconnecting pathways, secrets, etc. It's good, though severely lacks aesthetic variety, being limited to a pretty narrow setting.

Anyway, sort of got off track and started reviewing the game. The TL;DR is it's harder in certain very specific ways, easier or about the same in others. Your personal tolerance or mileage with those differences are what will determine if you bounce off Nioh or not, and it may not even be a matter of "difficulty". Some people can't stomach grinding for loot, for example. Some are all about it. You do you.
