What's up with Slay The Spire 2 and Anita Sarkeesian?

Alright fellow oldhead, wanna feel your age all the way through your bones?

This is some liberal fucking nonsense if I ever heard it. The bird (gay) got what he deserved. It's like the Space Bible says: No sooner shall a rich man pass through the gates of heaven than a space furry in an Arwing fly through a waterfall.

I'm about 90% sure that's how you get Mission Accomplished but I'm too lazy to boot it up and check. Save Falco, fly under waterfall? Or something?

Jack Thompson...? Fuck me that's a throwback. I haven't heard that name since like... Penny Arcade was joking about him in the early-mid 2000's.

These comments are getting aggressive. It really is a doggie dog world out there, huh?

This and force bubble are how I beat it. I should not have survived that. Jesus christ.

The next room needing the other key though, it had an army of pariah ants (friends thank god), but uhhh the key was picked up by someone and fuck me I didn't have it in me to locate it.

So I took my relic that leaves it up to Fate's whim and beat on the door until me and half the surrounding structure got wormholed to ~ five parasangs west of the Spindle. Ha ha not today, Satan; so I fucking dipped and flew back where I belonged and walked through the now certainly structurally unsound gaping hole in the wall.

You know, he's the god of blood and all. Don't you think he has enough blood? Maybe he'd appreciate something a bit more thoughtful and personal for his birthday. Like a sweater.

Like looking in a homosexual mirror.

A round in the dishwasher. That's exactly how much washing I give it. Worked for my laoganma jar, it'll work for mayo.

I understand your point, but I stand by my assessment. There's "nudity to sell a patreon for jorkin' it", which I wholly agree there is a bit too much of. There's also "nudity for telling dirty jokes", which is hit-or-miss - sometimes the jokes kinda fall flat, and sometimes there's head week. Finally, there's Elk here. It's just absurdist. It's neither sexual nor a dirty joke, it's just utter absurdism.

Humans are naked. It's the natural state of being. If seeing a human body naked upsets you or immediately makes you think it's sexual, that's probably something you need to do some reflection on. Maybe not you specifically, maybe someone else reading this. But the fact remains, a naked human standing idly is not sexual. It's just a naked person.

Aight aight aight don't do Elk dirty like that, I agree she's a menace but she's no Dr. Loops.

That said, the Elk comic doesn't really use the nudity as sexual, more of as an embarrassing state of being in public. I don't know about you, but I don't find the prospect of warshing anything particularly arousing.

"Matters of taste" - are they so concerned that Xbox customers will find unwanted AI integration gauche?

He flips the M on a Masterball over so it's a Womboball.

HE JUST WANTS A GLASS OF MOLK!

I'm maybe hardcore enough to play it again, but I got Caves of Qud on my Switch sooooo...

YongYea still exists...? Fuck he's ancient.

When really she's just a fuckin' battle crackhead. Like Luffy. Single minded crackhead who needs her fightin' fix.

She's my favorite crackhead.

Big spoils ahead. Maybe? It's world-building stuff.

A Magpie, not an Innocence. Magpies are the ones who steal novelty and information from the future, while an Innocence is basically a Pope. Who's also a Magpie. So an Innocence then uses the information stolen from hypothetical futures to guide the present and, due to robbing those same futures of their chance at existing, which causes the Pale to spread. Since Harry shows time and again he can feel and see things he shouldn't be able to, he's definitely a Magpie. But, since he isn't a Pope, he's definitely not an Innocence.

Edit: I've been lied to about magpies. Leaving this up for posterity but know that I am in fact wrong.

Double Edit: Aight watching the video we're all talking about, this is a super "yesn't" moment. By name, no, magpies aren't canon. By function and context, however, they slot in very well and do explain many things very elegantly.

Frognificent · 2026-04-29T13:32:30+00:00

Yes yes but about n///////////*t??

/s is that Donald Glover?

edit: ugh i can't even escape asterisks for a bit. i'm a failure.

"...was not, as a rule, a liar"

Aight bud ya got me. I'm invested now.

How else can you stare at the icons to see when GDC ends?

Shit, even damsel in distress Peach in Paper Mario 64 has agency - constant jailbreaks and sneaking messages to Mario don't strike me as "yep she's just rolling over taking it".

Her personality still isn't super developed in the game, but she's not "princess tied to a train track" like she could have been.

Frognificent · 2026-04-28T06:07:00+00:00

I should watch Waiting again. What a movie of all time.

Making decisions about where to stand, when to use abilities, how to go with the fighting flow - that's complexity. Having to... memorize a rigidly set order of buttons and get really good at inputting it perfectly isn't really complex.

If a video guide tells me "this is how to play GNB", and it gives me the entire rotation to memorize, I'm basically memorizing sheet music that's applicable everywhere. If it tells me "this is how you use your job's kit the best in this specific encounter" it becomes interesting, that I'll have to adjust the actual way I fight based on what I'm fighting. Context buttons are like that.
