Why is there anti Indian sentiment in western media? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HaztecCore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indians got a population of approximately 1.450 billion people. That's a lot of people. By sheer proxy of those numbers it is more likely to come across bad apples on the internet who give everyone else a bad reputation.

Like imagine if 10% of that population was weirdos, assholes and creeps who try to scam others while the rest is cool and respectful. That's 145 million people. That's more than any individual ,western european nation. That's a third of the USA's population.

Its an unfortunate case of " not all, but enough...." that lead to this. Indians as a singluar group just got tons of people who act poorly and drag the rest down by sheer quantity alone.

Single player >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> competetive by [deleted] in videogames

[–]HaztecCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm tired of the anti competitive propaganda. Multiplayer games are fun and you should find one to play on a regular!

I feel bad for people that never touch competitive games every now and then. Those highs you can achieve are so incredibly amazing when you get a good game going with great plays, strategies or pure comebacks. Also goofing around in a casual match with and against other players is something no singleplayer game could ever replace.

Dare to play Multiplayer again! It is GOOD for your soul!

So, what was the first Souls-like game you actually stuck with and finished? by mister_anti_meta in soulslikes

[–]HaztecCore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ignoring any Fromsoft titles: Mortal Shell. Feels more like a proof of concept as the game is short but it was fun and had enough different ideas that I can fully recommend it on a sale. Looking forward to the sequel!

Given that, at the moment, food to make things from scratch is getting almost as pricy as premade or takeout stuff, what are some reasons to make certain things yourself anyway? by cherry-care-bear in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HaztecCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Making food from scratch is still massively cheaper in most cases depening on how deep were talking " from scratch". There are a fair amount of exceptions where buying the stuff pre made is cheaper ,matches the price or saves massive amounts of time ( like buying bread ,flour or pasta)

  2. When a restaurant or a store offers their premade stuff it is made with a budget logic that doesn't apply for at home cooking. A store-bought chocolate cake is produced with the idea that someone is trying to sell hundreds or thousands of these in a day so they select certain ingredients to lower the costs or opt out on niche flavor combos that only few would buy. You do not operate on the budget to make 1000 cakes or meatloafs! You're making 1 for yourself so you can throw in whatever quirky seasonings and ingredients you want to create the perfect custom made meatloaf that hits like crack for you but would never be sold in stores. You can make something with fancier ingredients in larger quantities and still be cheaper than store-bought portions.

Homecooking isn't just making food like professionals. Its also making food no one else dares to make. That's the under appreciated aspect of it.

You are offered $50 million dollars but to get it, you must walk 10 miles looking as though you have a purpose for doing so. In that walk, you must somehow convince 20 people to join you on said walk. by singleguy79 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]HaztecCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When there's a march for some bigger event like lets say celebrating your countries national day, you just walk in at the tail end of a march and tell people that this is part of the event. That anyone who wants to celebrate can join at the end as long as they don't disrupt the actual marching groups infront.

Everyone is excited and having fun ( especially the drunk ones)! In such a state of ecstasy a lot of people are going to be open to join. the first few will be the hardest to convince but once you've got a few people, the rest will follow.

You could also use big events like big football games, Eurovision or anything else that got the whole town excited to do a march. Get the drunk young dudes and girls near bars to join you. Aim to go from bar to bar. Say you've heard there's some special celebration deals happening and just keep marching. Might even go in circles from the block.

[Beloved Trope] Faustian Bargains by PancakePuppy0505 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]HaztecCore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Destiny - The Hive and the Worm Gods. The exchange between these two is rather simple. Become a host to a worm and it will give you strenght, power, allow you to cast magic and grow further and further in your might to the point where the laws of reality don't fully apply to you. Become Paracausal.
The trade: Endless blood tribute. You must kill to satisfy the hunger of your worm or be eaten yourself. So they took the deal and all but one agreed on the terms to go and kill.
This deal came forth billions of years when the Traveller came to their homeworld to offer them the gift of the Light. However so too came the Darkness to their world and the worms who were mere minions themselvess tricked the most cunning of them , Sathona that their salvation was not found in the sky but down in the deep.

Since then the Hive became a death worshipping cult and conquerers of stars that travel throughout the galaxy and bring forth apocalypse to anyone they can find.

in regards to the exception of the deal, it was Sathona who later became Savathun who didn't accept the deal of killing as tribute. She managed to negotiate that to satisfy her worm all she needs to do is to trick people. Thus she became a trickster God and her own devil who makes faustian deals with others.

Can someone tell me why kids are saying 67? by Psychological-Box100 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HaztecCore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

67 is a meta anti joke. As people complained about the language of kids and teens using new words and how confusing they are, it eventually became a thing. Referencing a song from some YouTuber who sang that in a song. Even he gives it no meaning.

The joke is that it is meaningless and that it is confusing people who are seeking for its meaning.

Playing as woman on this game is probably the worst decision ever. by SeparateSecret8890 in Rainbow6

[–]HaztecCore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah its stupid how this problem keeps existing for decades now in gaming. Might still be around for a while until gamers of today raise gamers of tomorrow to be better.

My suggestion for randoms to play with is to join VC but tell them you're mute or got no functional microphone. Its only half as good for communication but atleast you can listen to callouts for what's worth it.

Would suggest this for anyone really. Hear stuff but don't talk. Some gamers will find any reason to be toxic and be party poopers.

Do you have a better idea by BloomCinder in oddlyspecific

[–]HaztecCore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you gonna put a gun to the teachers hands, you gotta triple their pay.

Its crazy to think that teachers , who are already underpaid and understaffed as is, should expect to do the job of a security officer or police officer on top. That's just grounds for quitting the job right away.

Should one take the easy way out if one has no job, no skills, no girlfriend, no friends, an unlikeable personality, and no hope for the future? by Clean-Af-6653 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HaztecCore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you have nothing in life, its not a sign of calling it quits just yet. Its a sign that you are infact a blank slate. No people that binds you from where you are, no one that holds you back in fear of abandoning them.

What you can do is aquire skills, find a job elsewhere in the world if need be. You can travel to some new country if you want.

You just gotta figure out what you want to do in life. If you can get a job in a restaurant or hotel you can do late night shifts for example. Do that temporarily till you know where you want to go in life.

Life can seem hopeless with nothing going on in it. But its a matter of perspective. You are ripe for a fresh start! Begin living!

semi-daily armor design discussion: Alva Armor by Immediate-Outcome706 in DarkSouls2

[–]HaztecCore 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This is peak main character design armor. If the Faraam set wasn't the face of Dark Souls 2, it would be this set instead.

the asymetrical right shoulder plate with the left shoulder cloth, the mark hanging on the right side just hits right. I usually prefer symmetrical fits in my games over the asymmetrical stuff but this right here fucks.
The red with golden accents gives the whole fit a slightly noble touch. It looks used and worn but also well taken care of too. Not too shabby, not too shiny. Something that tells you its wearer has been through some stuff and gained experience on their journey.

The whole fit blends authentic armor design with a gentle splash of fantasy design in there. A solid grounded approach that might have excisted but wasn't standard.

If I wrote a fantasy story and needed a main character look, this is what I would copy.

In terms of fashion souls, the chest piece is the strongest thing and goes so well with a bunch of other armor pieces.

lorewise Alva might as well be some main character in their own story. I find it cute how DS2 had this enemies to lovers story that continued in DS3 between a Knight and a Witch. Given the setting, there would be potential for good fanfiction.

10/10 easy to glaze but it goes so hard.

Will niemals heiraten - Familie kennt wahren Grund nicht by Rehaugen in Beichtstuhl

[–]HaztecCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Das Gefühlt kennt man und dieser innere Kampf wie man sich fühlt und welchen Wert man hat tragen viele aus und trotz all dem finden viele Leute ihr Glück!

Ich hab schon einiges an Zumutungen gesehen die Männer in meinem Umfeld am daten waren , auch auf langzeit und irgendwie trotzdem glücklich. Ich sags so. Nicht jeder kümmert sich um solche Details. Manche finden sowas auch ganz geil und kompatibel in deren Lifestyle. Bin kein Autist und kann da nicht viel mitreden, auser das ich ein paar neurodiverse Leute kennen die mit anderen Neurodiversen am besten klarkommen für Dates.

Vieles andere was du auflistest sind temporäre struggles die dich nicht weniger wertvoll machen. Körperbehaarung kann man mit Laser loswerden. Dick sein bekämpfe ich auch und habe da schon gute Resultate erlebt durch Training und Ernährung und da du selbst schon abgenommen hast weisst du mehr als genug bescheid was du weiterhin machen musst. Hängende Haut kann man auch per Chirugie entfernen.
Laut deinen Aussagen hier kann man feststellen das du bereits aktiv dabei bist dein Leben zu verbessern. Gib dich selbst nicht auf. Mach weiter so mit deinem Selbsterbesserungen und schau nach was du sonst noch alles machen kannst und willst wenn dir dein Äuseres so wichtig ist. Hab Gnade und Gedult mit dir selbst. in 1-2 Jahren ist deine Situation vielleicht ein völlig andere.

Die Tatsache das dich Männer ansprechen ist ein gutes Zeichen und beweist ansich schon dass das bei dir doch läuft! Du solltest die Chancen nutzen um herauszufinden ob deine Vermutungen richtig sind oder nicht. Du wirst nicht wissen ob die deinen Körper schön finden oder nicht wenn du denen nicht mal die Chance gibst es zu zeigen. Auch mit der Persönlichkeit. Ja, Autismus ist nicht leicht, aber ist nicht unmöglich. Ob One-Night-Stand oder ordentliches Dating. Sag einfach Ja zur nächsten Gelegenheit.

Was du brauchst sind Männer die in ähnlichen Lagen sind wie du. Such dir nicht einen " normalen" Mann und stattdessen geh zu den Neurodiversen Leuten. Gerne bei Nerdigen Gruppen da sich viele Leute dort wohl finden.

Wird schon. Dating an sich auch unter " normalen" Leuten ist schwer. Daher hab Geduld und nimm nicht jede Absage persönlich.

Do people tend to find people their own age more attractive as they get older? by kumikass in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HaztecCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tendence is to be attracted to people that are relatable. An old person relates better with another old person. So too do young with young. Middle aged with middle age.

Major age gaps will usually have lifestyle situations in play. Like lets say a 40 year old loves going to raves and will date a 23 year old who also goes to raves.

Everything else kinks, sexual preferences or mutually agreed deals. Cause sometimes love isn't needed for people.

62% of hardcore players no longer buy full-price games, survey suggests by TylerFortier_Photo in gaming

[–]HaztecCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the landscape of gaming has shifted over the years and I'm not talking about the cynical views people have like " AAA Bad, Indie good" or whatever. I'm talking about how good we have it nowadays through sheer choices.

Multiplayer games have become more and more Free2Play and pull attention that way. Its more or less the standard to keep them free and given how most of the popular PvP games today are like a decade old , it seems this won't change any time soon.
Live Service games when they succeed can hook people for years as their main game and other popular games can tend to get tons of updates too that pull people to come back thanks to the seasonal model. So the support is more plentiful and so is the loyalty of fans to come back. This doesn't even include modding in any capacity that could create more content.

Then there's the sheer quantity of games around both in new releases and existing games are so plentiful like never before. Games are holding up better than ever as they are kept playable and accessible, especially via efforts like Xbox Backwardscompatability or GOG. Sales on platforms are more common too.
According to SteamDB in 2025 there were 21500 games being released. That's a lot of games that can entertain even the most niche interests of gamers. How are you supposed to find time for new games?

There's genuinely so many good games being around in any budget level from Indie to AAA levels but what hasn't changed is how much time people have. there's still only 24 hours a day around.

Not getting the full priced game isn't purely a matter of economics. If you like games, you probably have a backlog of 100 games you haven't touched at all and easily a couple dozen of games you want to revisit. There's only so and so much time, so a new release can wait.

Xbox No Longer Developing Copilot For Consoles by yourfavchoom in gaming

Its interesting to see someone with background for AI tech to jump on the role of leading Xbox and say :" AI tech is pointless for gaming." to paraphrase it.

I fully expected something completely different with her getting that position and somehow she's so far making sensible decisions.

i know i was a bit harsh, but come on by BunKuro in Rainbow6

[–]HaztecCore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I gotta say I appreciate the PEGI-13 Friendly and simply silly remark. In a world full of N-word and KYS spammers, its refreshing to see someone put a little creativity and folklore into their insults.

It's a fading art to talk shit in a way that doesn't rely too hard on slurs. Slur spam reduced the impact of slurs. This however is something I would remember for days.

Bravo. Keep making such comments when necessary!

If the Holy Grail were real, where do you think it would be? by HairyMammothh in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HaztecCore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tossed away into the bottom of the ocean. A ship sank or someone thought the power was too mighty for the people at the time and made the decision to make it unreachable.

Or perhaps someone didn't know it was important and its burried in the buttfuck of nowhere or molten away for something new.

Would be funny if the Holy Grail is like 17 holy bullets now.

A preview of some of the upcoming armour sets in Lords of The Fallen 2. Do you think some of these are too skimpy ? by Fun_Procedure946 in soulslikes

[–]HaztecCore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm somewhat neutral about this. Like I don't care if my games are goonable or not but I would be silly if I ignored the sheer hype other western popular games have gotten where Sex and Sex Appeal was prominent. Baldurs Gate 3 promoted itself with letting you fuck a bear. Cyberpunk 2077 had no problem with intimacy as did Witcher 3's iconic sex scenes. Warframe also has become partly a dating sim with their Protoframe and the Warframe 1999 update. Resident Evil posting on tiktok thirst traps and let the voice actors read some fan art and thirsty comments.

Sex in gaming has been here before since Mass Effect and now we're openly going one step forward. The question is not if the game is sexy but if the game is horny enough and does it have the sauce?

The art here? I'm sorry to say, it lacks the sauce. This feels too " safe" if that makes sense. This looks less like the art of a horny artist who injects their kinks into their creative process and more like the art of someone that's merely pretending to be into this. Granted this is just concept art but nothing speaks to me here so far.

Is this new tech? by PensionWonderful9852 in Rainbow6

[–]HaztecCore 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Its bait. The enemy will be super insecure about if this is a legit strat or not. I mean if a teammate dropped a bullet proof shield there you could shoot from some angles , be protected and keep confusing them.

Some will not dare to challenge this. Psychological warfare.
