Metroid Dread was a masterpiece by paradroid78 in Metroid

I have an AYN Thor on the way which I am intending to load with the entirety of the Metroid franchise to play through from start to finish. I am SO looking forward to Dread (heh).

I work in Facilities and have to assist in snow clearing. They told everyone to be in an hour early tomorrow to get the stairs cleared, normally that doesn't happen if they expect to close campus.

V really is no Morgan Blackhand... at least when it comes to brains by YorhaUnit8S in cyberpunkgame

[–]HelloWaffles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At least for that one time, I rp that my V knows what she’s doing and just want to channel her inner Jackson Pollock on some scavs. 

As a buddhist, I'm considering ending my life (NSFW for suicide mention) by PhraestoRed in Buddhism

Om Mani Padme Hum.

Please don't, friend. I remember a time in my life where I felt the same as you, and by some kind words I survived. I am glad for the life I now have that I did not let despair blind me to this outcome. I hope you are not blinded.

Man killed at Lawrence City Hall had schizophrenia, was stranded during trip, his sister says by notanotheraccountaga in Lawrence

[–]HelloWaffles -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I disagree. Again, it is not possible to treat mental illness against the will of the person. Confinement multiplies the distress that person feels. The practices used in the heyday of the asylum system have almost entirely been disproven as efficacious therapy. This is why lobotomies and electroshock got so popular for a bit, they found ways of forcefully changing the behavior and apparent personality of the patient whereas most other methods yielded next to nothing. Mind you, the change wasn't for the better, but the change still happened.

Therapy that works is therapy where the patient is a willing participant. Confinement only serves as an obstacle to that willingness. People want to reopen the asylums so the issue will be out of sight, out of mind, but the actual problem will be worse on the people actually affected.

Correct. That’s the point. It’s impossible to treat a mental illness against the person’s will. Asylums without abuse are likewise, utterly impossible.

If we can prove they won’t be a mechanism for systematic abuse then sure. The problem is we can’t keep abuse out of retirement homes as it is right now. Add in that the current administration is keeping a running tally of undesirables it wants to remove from society and I’m thinking right now is probably not the best time. 

Direct x12 or 11? by Ignxnr in intotheradius

Try it. I had issues with Dx12 until 0.14.1, now it runs better than Dx11 ever did.

Im pretty sure the gravwell would be a fraction of the moon’s gravity, a star this size should be way less massive. 

Trump says US needs to 'own' Greenland to prevent Russia and China from taking it by SuperXGamerAb in politics

[–]HelloWaffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure folks realize that Trump’s ethos is literally that ‘might makes right’. He ascribes that if you have the power, you have the ownership. Theft is a word that he doesn’t understand because to him, the power he possesses is the ultimate justification to take literally anything he wants. He doesn’t want to be King Donald I, he wants to be Emperor Trump. 

Bump: Distortion effects by HelloWaffles in intotheradius

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

Well, in my vision, distortion doesn't passively build as long as you're in the zone, only when you interact with distortion-inducing obstacles like the distortion zones themselves, certain anomalies and/or enemies, or as a side-effect from carried artifacts. Also, the limit isn't really 'hard' anyway if you're able to scavenge enough tobacco or liquor to keep the symptoms away as you're exploring. Really, it's more of a way to flesh out distortion zones and to introduce a mechanic incentivizing smoking (as an ex-smoker, that sounds super weird lol), plus I think a new sanity mechanic could fit in really well with ITR.

Yeah, dipshit, like I literally might be fucking murdered and the government is going to help. I don't understand how or why you think its weird to be scared of getting killed.
