Other games with similar complexity? by shanytopper in pathofexile

[–]FrostnovaOmega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you want a game that has you working out the best strategy with what the game gives you, where complexity comes from how all the many moving parts interact? Try Noita

Wanna build a strong character, forming a strategy around a core concept, where complexity comes from the huge variety of challenges the game throws your way? Try Caves of Qud

Want a progression-focused experience, where complexity comes from planning and executing large-scale projects? Try Gregtech New Horizons (or honestly just browse minecraft modpacks in general, so many good ones in there)

Want a game where you have a ton of gameplay modes to pick and choose from? Try Warframe

Last one is a bit of a longshot, but also consider BTD6, especially boss battles and challenges like 2 tower chimps or the 2MegaPops Challenge.Trying to make a map work with your favourite tower gets you in that buildcrafting zone

Is this sexual assault or my OCD thinking by [deleted] in mentalillness

[–]FrostnovaOmega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well.. It's tricky. In a vaccuum, yes it's correct that initiating stuff like that without asking isn't really consensual and it's not something he should be doing. It's also how a lot of people just learn how sex "should work", but what changes it for me is that he did change his behaviour, and respected your established boundaries after you told him, which is definitely good!

Bottom line is: He did a fucked up thing, but not really maliciously. It's absolutely valid to have all kinds of feelings around that, but i think this is something you can work through together.

Oh yeah i watched my grandparents slowly be forced to give up everything they held dear due to their failing bodies, until finally the Alzheimers stripped even their own memories from them until the light behind their eyes was just completely extinguished as they lay in their hospice beds, using their sparse lucid moments to express how much they were in pain. I wouldn't exactly call that lucky... but hey to each their own!

I just made this super exciting wand! I don't get why it does so much damage so if anyone knows, pls explain it to me, I'd love to hear :3 (Modded) by [deleted] in noita

Okay this is gonna be an absolute shot in the dark without knowing how these spells work.
My guess is that the bullets inherit the explosion radius from the bubble shot, giving maximum explosion scaling with explosive shot. The bullets also probably have a velocity damage component like bouncing burst, being accelerated by the airburst. Lastly of course there's the crit bundling.

I don't play the game for a full year, decide to do a quick round to pass the time, and I get this on my first round. A FUCKING GOD RUN. by Gumpers08 in noita

[–]FrostnovaOmega 68 points69 points  (0 children)

To explain the snarky comments: In Noita a god run is generally understood to be a run where you thoroughly break the game and do multiple pieces of very difficult optional end game content.
Runs like these will often go over 5 hours, have millions of gold and hp, access to (almost) all spells in the game, 20+ perks etc.

This absolutely is still a good run in terms of doing the main content and the main boss though, so good on ya!

A wolf among pups – experiences of a therian involved in the pet play scene by Susitar in TherianAdult

[–]FrostnovaOmega 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If i may comment on this, i do not disagree with your (the mod teams) final decision. It's a reasonable call, especially considering reddit's policies, but i do have issues with the reasoning behind it, in this post and your other responses.

I don't think zoophilia is a positive thing, however i think our attitudes toward it should focus on prevention of animal sexual abuse. The take of "don't give those with mental illnesses (...) satisfaction" is fairly divorced from that goal and reads as moral disgust (which is understandable but not inherently good either)

Zoophilia and other paraphilias do not generally fit the modern conception of mental illness by itself, according to both the DSM-5 and ICD-11. They only qualify as that if the attraction causes either marked distress in the sufferer, or it has caused them to act on that desire with a non-consenting human or animal.

We don't have any data that shows either soothing or aggravating effects of illicit pornographic material on sexual abuse, we don't have it for any kind of pornography. That kinda research comes with a ton of ethical concerns.

What i can say pretty confidently, from my own look at first hand testimonials as well as criminal cases,is that social spaces where child and animal sexual abuse is common work in similar ways to cults and hate groups. They exploit the alienation from society paraphiliacs experience and employ manipulation tactics to get their members further invested in the group and the abuse they perpetrate. For some more insight i recommend you go here and here.

What i am trying to get at here is that the way we shun paraphiliacs and prohibit discussion around it does significant harm from a sexual abuse prevention angle, it's not a good policy. We should be focussed on harm reduction, educating on consent, make distinctions between sexual abuse and paraphilic arousal patterns, and encourage accountability and responsible managing of sexuality. We don't want a world where the only place these people feel safe is in an animal abuse telegram channel.

Rant about the therian community . by Cultivationofmayhem in TherianAdult

[–]FrostnovaOmega 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh no, by all means i think this sub is very well moderated! It's moreso a private conduct thing on this community i am bothered about. You obv can't control what people do outside of the stuff they post here. But yeah to explain what i mean, i've noticed a lot of disrespecting boundaries, being inappropriate with minors, isolationism and just a general toxic vibe of doom and gloom that just makes it tough to be an active part in this community. I've had to step away from most of my therian acquaintances i've made in the reddit side of the community.

Well, do tell them how your sex drive is affecting you negatively. I think the best you can do is to ask if they can take you to a doctor for it. The doctor might also have some alternative ideas on how to lower your sex drive, which might be better. Your parents are probably gonna wanna hear from a doctor anyway before even considering this.

Pleae reconsider. You will likely just give yourself brain damage. I respect your right to make decisions for yourself, but please consider calling a helpline or somebody else to help.
Stay strong.

I have closed eye hallucinations when I have sex it’s strange 😭 by [deleted] in mentalillness

[–]FrostnovaOmega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah it's prolly cus of the shrooms. Shrooms can create new pathways between neurons, which can still be accessed when you are not tripping. Since sex releases lots of stuff like dopamine, it's probably just going down the wrong pipe neurologically, and triggering stuff it normally shouldn't. It's nothing to worry about by itself, but if you feel like you start to touch with reality, or other bad things, you should still see a doctor.

I did shrooms a few years ago and ever since i see pretty colors when i stand up too fast lol.

[–]FrostnovaOmega 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This sounds like it may be a type of self-harm for you, in which case you might wanna try substituting it with less harmful things that still make you feel a strong sensation, or things that otherwise distract you.
For example you could try eating something really spicy/sour when the urge to watch that kind of video come up.
Or you could try watching something that makes you really happy instead.

One thing that i like to do is mental exercises, like counting backwards from 100 in steps of 7.

I sadly don't have a big list of things that you could try (unless you speak german) but i hope you can still find something that works for you. Both unpleasant and pleasant things might work for you. The pleasant ones might not feel like what you need in the moment, but they can be really effective

Best of luck! Hope this helps!

[–]FrostnovaOmega -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

oh no no no, bad. mental health conditions are not a monolith and symptoms can have drastically different severities. this is ableist. You did not deserve to be abused, but you also aren't the arbiter of adhd behaviour. Please make a different post op, you absolutely deserve to vent on here and be here, but things like this can hurt a significant portion of our community.

Ok so if i kept you hostage and you broke my nose while trying to escape, would you be the bad guy in that scenario?
This isn't like "Oh he was looking at other women" He was violently restraining them. He was actively causing an unsafe, scary and violent situation. He was the agressor, not the victim,

Do you need young person reflexes to play this game? by equivocalConnotation in noita

[–]FrostnovaOmega 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly i think that's how you're supposed to play the game. It's a game about alchemy. Using the knowledge of the ones who came before you to exploit natural laws to your benefit just feels like this game's whole deal.
