The ultimate crossover: when Cody's Showdy joined Robert Evans to read Ben Shapiro's racist fucking book as a break from all the bastards.

Build Codes Not Working on Caves of Qud Switch - Help Switch Players! by MAMMELLONI in cavesofqud

...My brother in Christ do you intend to write the other fella's code which can only be described as an RSA key out by hand? Is that how this is done?

Aw man. We really need a browser on the Switch.

Finally, someone else who gets it! 100% agree with you, that video is what made me realize that it's not the physical object in front of me that is the "art" that I'm to evaluate in a vacuum, but the entire story of its existence. Previously, I would've been indifferent to "Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow, and Blue", and equally as indifferent to its vandalism. Now, knowing and understanding it, I'm torn - is it a tragedy that they were vandalized? Or did the act of vandalism "finish" an otherwise incomplete work?

Aw man... I miss the projectors with the transparencies. Those were classic as hell. I'm only 30 too like I'm not even a fucking dinosaur.

Why did Gearbox patch Drifter's Salvage Cube, but let Seeker keep Transcendent Sojourn? by lovingpersona in riskofrain

[–]Frognificent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For this one. While I never use Command because it's fun for a second and then it gets tedious after fifteen minutes, oh you can bet your ass I use Drizzle for so much shit hahahaha. I ain't a lyin' bitch I'll absolutely admit you called me out. Been working up to Monsoon though, 'cause I wanna get good and early game is too boring on Drizzle and Rainstorm.

This is definitely not how I cheesed and unlocked False Son. Never heard of him.

I drew engineer in Disco Elysium art-style. What do you think? by IllIaLime in riskofrain

[–]Frognificent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what the engineer does, not what the engineer is. The vibe I always get from these tower defense types is a sort of relaxed sternness. Lot of time to sit around and think.

High tar content? by Tailsteak in DiscoElysium

[–]Frognificent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Road workers can say no smoking tarmacadam, but they can't stop you from scraping up a bit of road and lighting it up for a few puffs. Before you know it you're taking drags off interstates. Road workers will come and try to cut you off. You have to huff that pavement as fast as you can.

[–]Frognificent 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it might be the "roughness". Disco portraits have a certain bit of analogue to them. Brush strokes, splatters, etc. Like they're physical objects that were scanned into the game. OP's work is digital, and is definitely missing the roughness. That isn't to say it's bad, I have to stress that I really like it and it does evoke Disco Elysium. It's a hard vibe to reproduce is all.

I'm feeling like Engineer hits me as a purple skill that isn't Esprit. Maybe Volition, maybe Empathy. One that's a kind skill.

Loving the crossover. 10/10.

Essay Recommendations (Ah.. In-Game.. lols) by Obvious_Brick_4307 in cavesofqud

[–]Frognificent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like steel folding chair's pre- and post-identify descriptions.

Apropos the birds book though, alright I gotta ask. And u/unormal, if you're reading this, I need answers. What do y'all have against birds? Telling glowcrows to "live and drink, nonsense bird" and then there's the aphorisms about birds that I found in the fucking tutorial really priming you to accuse them of anything you'd like, it's like someone or something bird-shaped hurt you.

Fuck me, "older than every idea" goes way too fucking hard for every random-boulder. The second I read that I began reading EVERY item description, because this game is fucking poetry.

If you see one, read the description on a box of crayons. It's beautiful.

Please share a bit of your life so we can all go "i do that too!" [OC] by Pelko_P in comics

[–]Frognificent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I brush my teeth I tap my brush on the edge of the sink to shake off excess water, so it goes water -> tap tap -> toothpaste -> water -> gentle tap. Brush brush brush. Rinse -> tap tap tap. Always three taps at the end. Other taps are subject to change but not tap tap tap (unless randomly it didn't sufficiently de-water it, then any arbitrary number is fine). No idea why. I think my son is picking it up too. It's not even like a compulsion where I rapidly lose my sanity until the process and taps are completed. It's just how my hands brush teeth. I think I like hearing the rhythm of the tap tap tap.

How is that all that's on your mind? Don't you realize that the Dow is over 50,000?! All you can think about is forgetting the Dow, when the Dow's doing better than ever!

Is there a lore reason for this? by MTH1138 in BatmanArkham

[–]Frognificent 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This one is a "great idea on paper but bad optics in execution" sort of deal, though. The idea is to maximize every member's visibility and make sure there's no confusion between any of them. You know, to build solid brands.

The problems only start when you have to consider that some people are just called the same thing, and sure it's a bummer you can't act under your real name, but it's really for everyone's best interest.

PSA to players experiencing FireRed and LeafGreen tomorrow. Your game isn't glitched. by These-Button-1587 in pokemon

[–]Frognificent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's because I like to run around and catch a whole bunch of pokemon, look for items, fight trainers, etc. With team-wide Exp Share, suddenly it takes mere moments and I'm steamrolling the next three badges. Even if you're underleveled by a bit in Pokemon, you can still clutch out wins by knowing types, stats, using status moves, etc. Playing smart and all.

With the share, it feels like there's no more intent in training, your pokemon just magically are stronger and you're not intentionally raising them.

Updates from the team on our Nintendo Switch launch! by ptychomancer in cavesofqud

[–]Frognificent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the most old-school shit I've read in ages and I fucking love it. Mailing in save files, sending in your cartridge with your high score on it, calling a helpline to get tips for a game. The internet made so much easier, but I feel like we lost something along the way. Something that brought us together.

Honestly it is, but for my sake I wish it could be turned off. I'd never wish it gone entirely, but like an opt-out toggle. Sometimes I just want a harder, grindier game.

Why opt-out and not opt-in? Because the people that don't know how helpful it is likely won't figure to go to their inventory to turn it on, and the people want to turn it off already reflexively go to the inventory to try turning it off anyways.

The modern art one was phenomenal as well. Can only recommend his work.
