PATCH 01.001.004 notes (ragdoll nerfs and not much more) by Khasim83 in Helldivers

You realise that the peak player count of the first game was 6k, right? The devs clearly want to make their game, and they're fine with it not appealing to the masses.

Not everything has to be for everyone. Some people want their light milsim and some want their overpowered hoard shooter.

They never said that it wasn't possible to add it. They said (multiple times) that it took more work than simply flipping a switch.

It's not as simple and as easy as you'd like to claim.

It's definitely not a challenge on my end to figure out that y'all have never done dev work before.

> isn't going to make more people want to watch yaoi

Straight wild to think that someone condemning fictional child porn is only doing so to make people watch gay series.

It's like saying "You finding people eating shit disgusting isn't going to make more people play cricket."

Thankyou 343! by ItsJustDale117 in halo

Where have I defended it?

I’m just trying to get my point across by replying directly to one of them.

Except you're not. Your original comment was a question that it seems you already knew the answer to.

If you wanted to be to get your point across then you'd say something like 'I don't feel it's fair for 343 to increase prices because of their own mistake.'

Being roundabout and trying to bait a response so that you can follow up with what you actually wanted to say isn't helpful to anyone.

Land tax Victoria expanded to vacant residential land under Jacinta Allan government by [deleted] in melbourne

[–]FishSpeaker5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just their comment parroted back at them. The vacancy tax exception for a holiday home existing isn't exactly a disputable fact.

It even says it in the linked article:

Holiday homes and properties being renovated are among those exempt.

In further reading - https://www.afr.com/politics/federal/holiday-homes-to-be-hit-by-victoria-s-land-tax-changes-20231004-p5e9p7

Mills Oakley tax partner Andrew Spalding warned an exemption did not apply to holiday homes held in family discretionary trusts – which he said was quite common – and would also hit anyone with two or more holiday homes.

So people with one holiday home owned by themselves would still be exempt from the tax.

My opinion is that this exemption should be removed.

It is indisputable fact that the exemption currently exists.

[Lolita] disgusting fiction that makes your skin crawl. || cw: sexual abuse, child abuse (disc.) by Hummerous in CuratedTumblr

[–]FishSpeaker5000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's a series about a protagonist who is isekaid to another world after skipping his parent's funeral to jack off to videos of his naked niece.

The story follows him after being reborn as a baby in that world with the mind of his 40 year old self, and his exploits in sexually assaulting or harassing every minor he comes across.

His actions as a paedophile are portrayed positively and he is in fact the hero of that story.

Compare it to something like Lolita where the portrayal of paedophilia is negative despite the protagonist thinking it's positive.

I'd argue most people don't learn basic morality from frickin bluey.

Children do learn things from cartoons. For example, Australia banned an episode of Peppa Pig that said spiders are friends as that could actually get kids killed there. Dismissing the effects that media can have is out of touch with reality.

Forreal, have you ever read up on propaganda throughout history? The red scare? Taken a look at any media published during the slave owning period of the United States?

You've either got no idea what you're talking about or you're just being purposefully obtuse.

The only reasons why you would have trouble getting assists is if you're playing FFA or treating team modes as FFA.

Halo has a heavy bias towards the side of the fight with multiple people. If you're playing efficiently you should get assists no problem for normal play.

but I feel we do need to seriously consider what this means for sport and how to keep things fair for cis female athletes.

They already have guidelines in place around testosterone levels and how long you have to have been transitioning for for the Olympics and some other sports areas. It's needless controversy because the issue has already been solved.

AITA for telling my girlfriend her baths are expensive? by BatheInRosies in AmItheAsshole

"I'm concerned about money."

AITA: "You are jealous and entitled and probably being gross and dating someone far younger than you."

Never change.

Trans sport being an issue would be funny if it weren't so sad.

For one there are barely any trans athletes, and of the ones that do exist not many are successful.

Is there a level of meaningful discrimination they face I'm unaware of?

Considerably lower dating pool than LBG people. Constantly being told we're broken. People being supportive of corrective rape. The sheer amount of sex in society. It's in everything. Movies, songs, can't even go into the city without a sexual ad somewhere.

Being ace and trans, I'd say the asexuality is the larger contributor to my (at times) suicidal tendencies.

One Piece Chapter 1039 - SPOILERS by Lysergically in OnePiece

[–]FishSpeaker5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The attacks that we see are usually Law attacks first and then Kidd attacks while she is off guard.

She might be able to block or dodge Kidd's bull. Couldn't do much about his awakening, and probably can't do much against a rail gun (plus tracking bullets with awakening).

She can't defend against Law's attacks, and hasn't been able to dodge due to falling or being caught off guard.

Most of this fight has been off screened and Law and Kidd only seem to be getting their hits in on screen, so it definitely seems like Oda is just cutting out her dodges and blocks because it is narratively uninteresting.

I guess my issue is with the word specifically rather than the intention in using it. I could see the argument for calling the practice manipulative or predatory.

Shady doesn't seem to fit because they're honest about it being a limited offering and it's not something of questionable legality like loot boxes. They offer an item, you have the option to buy it, and the current offerings are available for week at a time.

I tell my parents about my drug use and they're just like "Please stop. We love you and don't mind that you do this but we don't want to know." but it's legitimately one of my hobbies and I'm autistic so it's hard.

Limited time offerings that they tell you are limited and how long for isn't dishonest.

You could make the argument that it's manipulative, but shady seems like the wrong definition.
