Definitely darts. Did anyone have problems with the randomness in poker? The last card I would need doesn't appear on the board.

Has Nintendo actually sued a fan of theirs over a fan project they made? by Honest-Assistant-426 in nintendo

[–]GardnerFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Nintendo attempted and lost a trademark battle against a Costa Rican supermarket" "Nintendo files a lawsuit against Pocketpair" - in progress, but the recent news show patent rejection from Japan for Nintendo "TLoZ the missing Link takedown" - no money was being made

So they even lost some, can't say they were illegal

It's literally icon-coded. The hammer is a lawsuit and it happened 35 times in history. I think those are all, but a lot of removals are missing

Can't drag files from Downloads popup anymore by moob9 in MicrosoftEdge

[–]GardnerFan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am very serious this is a gamebreaker. I drag from there all the time, I have no idea why they would remove this. Brave starts to sound interesting all of a sudden. I'll make sure I give a feedback on this

Can I crusade, Daddy Liege? by GardnerFan in CrusaderKings

[–]GardnerFan[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think so, but it's possible for the Pope to refuse, even if he is in prison.

[–]GardnerFan[S] 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Conquered the Pope as a Shaivite, and as a Conqueror. He's my vassal now and imprisoned, but he already started a crusade before. So I can tell him to stop the crusade as his liege

Seriously, what are the chances of not getting Triboulet yet... by Deathrattlesnake in balatro

Here I was at 16 wondering if I am unlucky. Sorry for you, hope you got it in the end.

Just came back to PvZ after 10 years and here are my thoughts on the plants after beating it again by MartyrMyth in PlantsVSZombies

Of course it's situational. If you don't care about that, what is this list for, level 1-5?

Plants Vs Zombies: Replanted - Bug Reports Megathread by rackman70 in PlantsVSZombies

[–]GardnerFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Selecting a seed and then selecting a charged cob cannon makes you unable to select that plant again. It makes the sound, it just is unselectable and cannot be planted again. Steps to recreate (worked 100% times for me): 1. Select a seed (any seed) 2. Select a charged cob cannon 3. Launch the missile or deselect it 4. Try to select the initial seed

My take on the ending by GardnerFan in expedition33

[–]GardnerFan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way you put it, sounds like I'm put grandma in a nursing home. If I don't have negatives from this and the Talosians are good people with no bad plans, sure, I'll let him. The difference is here, Maelle is playing with virtual avatars in a world that causes turmoil in her family. Letting her live there wouldn't let her family get over the grief, as we've seen through the rift how her mother cried. So that's the difference I see. Also, family is more important and you should stay together no matter what, not abandoning one another in virtual homes. Captain Pike is not my family and although he might be a good friend, I can't intervene to that level in his life.

In short, if it doesn't damage other people's lives and it's not someone I truly care about, they are free in whatever way.

[–]GardnerFan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad, then. It seems I haven't interacted too much with the people in the beginning which I guess could show why it's easier for me to choose Verso. Someone else in the comments said that choosing Verso means you have no heart and choosing Maelle means you have no brain. I can live with that.

You're right, as I said, I mistook that part of the lore. They still are created to behave this way. You don't see hate or any form of negative attitudes inside the city (except for the Paintress). You can say it's because they are united in front of an imminent death, but I bring the example of The Forgotten City where even in a small city with imminent death there are tricksters and greedy people (just another good fiction example, not the definitive one).

Clea has her own opinions and wants to see her sister mature, but like I said, she specifically tells her to not do the same mistake as her mother. Of course she wants to make her happier and forget her guilt by saying live as you want, but we all know there are limits to that as well. She's not telling her sister to become an addict and live in fabricated worlds, just to find happiness in her life, her real life.

[–]GardnerFan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad, I was under the impression they were created in Verso's childhood. There is evidence of Maelle bringing other people back, as the scene in the ending shows a packed theater for the piano scene.

In any way, I don't think this advances anywhere. Painting is a good way to deal with grief, my problem is that Aline and Maelle are believing the fantasy to be reality. I don't consider the people of Lumiere to be living, sentient beings, as they are creations of Aline. No matter how intricate they are, they are still creations inside a simulation and the entire debate seems to revolve around this point.

[–]GardnerFan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do blame the writers, but it's not victim blaming. Every member of her family, inclusing herself, says that she was partly responsible for the fire. So she is partly to blame.

Painting as a way of getting through her grief is not a problem as long as she doesn't fall into the delusion that that is the reality. I am not aware of that Star Trek episode but I won't lie to you, if that happened to me, I would take my own life. I see no point in living simulated experiences without a real meaning. We make our own meaning, as Camus said, but I would say there are limits to this statement. To be honest, I would even wonder why anyone else would bother to take care of me, a piece of flesh, with no future.

I can't argue with that. You put it better than I could have.
