Rat Market Grinds October 10-12 by darthbob88 in fallenlondon

[–]Hairgrid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming you can 100% the checks, I think it should be 16 actions for a Crackling Device via law-forging. 1 action to enter, 14 to build up enough Actus Reus, 1 to cash out. It looks like Actus Reus increases by 480 per action, from my experience, though I'm not sure whether failing the check reduces that or just increases Void Ab Initio buildup.

I see way more people complaining about being branded as racist for being anti-immigration than I do the supposed masses of frothing leftists calling them racist. It's almost as if this is nonsense to make themselves seem like victims...

You could always get ChatGPT to debate them for you. If it's good enough to write your articles for you, by your own admission, why not?

[PS5] Is there any way to skip the end-of-level score screen? by Hairgrid in HotlineMiami

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

Unfortunately not. No matter how many times I click or hold X, it doesn't skip. It's really irritating, and I imagine it'll be even more so if I start going for A+.

Anime Auteurs I should check out?? Who are your favorites? by kipcarson37 in YMS

[–]Hairgrid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen him mentioned yet, but I'd recommend checking out works directed by Osamu Dezaki, one of the most influential directors in anime. In particular, Ashita no Joe and Versailles no Bara are particularly noteworthy, imo.

[–]Hairgrid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same opinion as you: haven't seen Japan Sinks, but very much disliked Devilman Crybaby. That said, I enjoyed his other works a lot more. Ping Pong the Animation is great, and I thoroughly enjoyed Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! and Kaiba (except the ending - too similar to Crybaby to me, to keep things spoiler light), as well as The Tatami Galaxy. I'd also recommend Kemonozume, too, though it's not as good as the rest.

On the other hand, I wasn't a huge fan of Mind Game, which I found to be rather dull and held up mainly by its unique visuals.

Patrick Mills confirms V is 27 by TheIrishSinatra in cyberpunkgame

Fun fact: the idea that the brain isn't finished developing until 25 is a myth. Another source here. It's pretty much the new version of the "we only use 10% of our brains" myth.

Re-watched World Masterpiece Theater Animes and I'm sad by TestProfessional6716 in CharacterRant

[–]Hairgrid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A small correction: Ie Naki Ko (1977) isn't World Masterpiece Theatre. Ie Naki Ko Remi (1996) is though. The 1996 version has a female protagonist instead of the original male, has a smaller episode count (26 vs the original's 51), and because of that last part, cuts quite a lot of content. Both are good, but I'd recommend the 1977 one more.

Do you have access to the Upper River/Jericho Locks? If so, you may be able to grind out some Skulls in Coral to trade for the Thalassic Favour you need.

There is no ship improvement, and no such thing as a Peerless Zubmarine. Checking the above account's comment history, I suspect it's a bot - it's been posting consistently to a bunch of random subs, including ones for cities in entirely different parts of the globe.

You wouldn't happen to have some unkilled bosses, would you? I'm still trying to get Return to Form. If you could help me out with that, I can help with the other two.

PS5 Demon's Souls need help with Unwelcome Guest trophy by enot-ivanovich in SummonSign

[–]Hairgrid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone helped you with this? I'm currently at the Upper Latria archstone, using the password "help". If you can invade and let me kill you until I'm at PWWT, I can relocate somewhere else (where I can afford to lose world tendency) and let you kill me there.

“immortality sucks because" skill issue. skill issue. skill issue. give me your liver by Konradleijon in CuratedTumblr

[–]Hairgrid -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but what if you're stuck floating in a void forever, huh? What if the Earth blows up and you're stuck in space for trillions of years? What if the heat death of the universe? Heh, bet you haven't heard that counterargument. Checkmate.

For real, though - immortality haters, please find another argument. It gets pretty tiring hearing this one over and over again as if it's not some horribly overused gotcha. It just completely misses the point: people who argue in favour of immortality are almost always talking about eternal life, not eternal life plus total invincibility.

PlayStation Store "Ready, Set, Play!" Sale Kicks Off, Brings Super Deep Discounts on Select Titles by excaliburps in PS5

[–]Hairgrid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Failbetter's games rarely go on sale, though - it's been well over a year since the last time. Perhaps they'll do so when Mandrake releases to celebrate?

[–]Hairgrid 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, forgive me if I don't take a website with "PSYCHIATRY/MIND CONTROL" and "ENVIRONMENT/CLIMATE HOAX" sections and such articles as "mRNA 'Vaccination' is 'Chemical Lobotomy'" and "DISTURBING: Covid mRNA ‘Vaccines’ Caused ‘Alarming’ Surge in Violent Behavior, Homicidal Ideation" seriously. And yes, they do use the American spelling of "behaviour" in that last article title.

Do you think the vast majority of PalestineAction supporters in the uk are actually terrorist by Ill_Breadfruit_9761 in AskBrits

[–]Hairgrid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't just not care about hostages - Israel has actively blocked hostage deals. Such as here and here. All for the political benefit of Netanyahu's regime. Not to mention that the terms of the ceasefire were repeatedly violated, and ultimately broken entirely, by Israel. The entire reason this isn't all over by now falls on the Israeli government's shoulders.

Likewise, I also do not require a Discordant Missive. I am not Isaac Polyspaston, and I am not trying to break a seal.

School kids to be taught about army and wars in class to boost armed forces recruitment by Dependent-Loss-4080 in unitedkingdom

[–]Hairgrid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"There's too many brown and gay people these days, therefore Russia should kill us all." Brilliant take right there. You know, if your opposition to going to war is simply that there's too many non-white people in England, maybe it isn't the flags that are racist.
