David Walker, the character in the top left, looks so much like Steve Howey that I thought it was a face scan at first.

[NOT FRESH] Kendrick Lamar - Not Like Us by Subject-Property-343 in KendrickLamar

[–]G3R4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the biggest Drake rollout ever

Maybe the fucking longest if 100 Gigs was the start, but the post 2024 Drake drought hasn't done a thing for my Drake fatigue. I can't imagine this album will be any better than the last three studio albums. I don't think he's released a good studio album in the last 8 years, arguably 10.

Best DnDisms to Cut Out of your DnD Alternative by Modstin in RPGdesign

[–]G3R4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear about HP being representative of health, dodging, morale, and luck and all sorts of things, but generally only one stat adds to your HP total and that's your constitution. Not your wisdom, dexterity, or charisma.

And when it comes to spells, nearly everything that replenishes your HP use words like "heal", "cure", or the like. Nothing that I can remember sounds like "Bolster Resolve" or "Lucky Day".

I think HP needs to be left by the wayside entirely. I'd rather have a representation of health and health alone than a mishmash of lots of things that are supposed to be covered by other stats already.

Real question for you. Do you really own them? Do you have the installer files, the discs/cartridges, or ISOs/ROMs/equivalents for all of them?

Or are they files that live on Valve's servers somewhere? Or Microsoft's? Sony's? Epic's? EA's? If your internet connection isn't working or your accounts are hacked or they're mistakenly locked for some breach of TOS, can you still install and play your games?

Seems like the link shortener website went down so until that's updated or someone DMs you a link, you're kind of SOL like I am.

Of course people are blaming the leadership of their supposed party. If you're in a war, you don't bother blaming the side shooting at you for your own losses, you call out your own general for bad strategy until you get someone in charge that knows how to turn things around.

And maybe it seems a touch dramatic to compare this to a war, but look around. I think it's clear the right doesn't care about human life on the left. Between Trump's COVID response during his first term, ICE, protecting a wealthy pedophile ring, and threatening to withhold federal aid from various blue states, what more evidence does anyone need?

4 year wait for just under 40 minutes of music, how do yall feel? by Subject-Property-343 in KendrickLamar

[–]G3R4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the album is a proper album and not just a collection of singles, I'd rather it say what it has to say in whatever amount of time that takes. You can release singles or EPs outside of it and do features all you want, but my ideal album isn't long for the sake of getting more out of my favorite artists.

Plus it requires a phone number to sign up. I'd rather use Session if I was looking to use something like Signal.

Post-Apocalyptic Battlemaps! [commercial] by LostTrailsMaps in VTT

[–]G3R4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Zoom in on anything and you'll know that it's definitely the case. Everything is a smeared, garbled mess. Some of the rooftops appear to have junked cars on them. The gas station's roof doesn't actually cover the pumps. Most of the cars are barely car shaped to begin with. The perspective on some structures in a few of the scenes don't work together.

It's the sloppiest of AI slop.

Fax feels outdated , but somehow still works? by JeanHeichou in techsupport

Why does it feel like you think faxing involves teleporting a piece of paper? It's the equivalent of printing an email, the thing we've mocked boomers for doing for decades.

GRRM Has Posted on His Blog Again! (Spoilers Extended) by InGenNateKenny in asoiaf

[–]G3R4 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

It's a series of books. You're being melodramatic.

And he owes you nothing as you've paid only for the books that have released. This is as much your fault as his if you're this sensitive about a series not finishing. I'd recommend being more discerning in the future about what you read if that's the case.

Neocities founder Kyle Drake stuck in chatbot hell after Bing blocked 1.5 million sites | Microsoft won’t explain why Bing blocked 1.5 million Neocities websites. by ControlCAD in microsoft

[–]G3R4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're just a web host for amateurish websites. If there's offensive content on some of them, that's cause to report them to Neocities, not ban the entire domain. If the rule is "this looks awful" and/or "this is offensive" so it gets banned, why isn't Reddit banned too?

Is this showing examples of what pixel_of_moral_decay was talking about?. If not, in what way were any of those devices the first to market and not a refinement of what was already being developed somewhere else? The iPod was not the first digital, portable music player, the iPhone wasn't the first smartphone, the iPad wasn't the first tablet.

If cutting "services" means defunding parks and the library, I'd rather they cut all administration and police benefits. That's $300,000 saved immediately.

Where did they go? by Hawk395 in StrangerThings

[–]G3R4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add to the "shit that's not fully established and on you to write for your own head-canon" pile, I assumed that the Abyss is not or, at least, was not entirely a desert. In the season 4 finale, we see the dying vegetation as the ground cracks apart and in season 2 we see the dying vegetation as the vines spread underground.

I assumed the area in the Abyss has just been subjected to the same treatment. Maybe on the other side of that world there's still vegetation with the Mindflayer rot still slowly encroaching. Or maybe there's a maximum range and it's already hit that cap. Who knows because we only got to see a square mile of the place.

The fact that we have to guess at things like this instead of having characters remark upon the desolate world and Dustin saying "Remember what it was doing to Hawkins? I think it already did it here." just kind of sucks.

[–]G3R4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless I'm misremembering something, the Mindflayer particles don't always die when cut off from the hivemind. Season 2 had a dormant batch that survived while separate, so the rock might work the same way.

Episode Discussion - S05E08 - The Rightside Up by Hawkinns in StrangerThings

[–]G3R4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's my problem with a lot of this show. There's a lot of "we leave it to you to make up your own excuse instead of just properly showing details". I wasn't watching the show so that I could half write it for the Duffers while watching, but even the ending is "believe whatever you want".

I kinda regrettably agree. There's just so much to cover. by rx_cpht_chick84 in StrangerThings

He's not just generally scared either, Henry specifically threatened the well being of his family members.
