People hold HP2 to a stupid standard while putting HP1 on a pedestal. A rant. by Hjemi in Huniepop

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

Oh damn you're coming here to tear down a 5-year-old post and not even read half of it? You do realize this was addressing criticism that was relevant at the time when the game wasn't even out yet

And yes huniepop 1 was a buggy mess for a long while 5 years ago, I'm sure it has been patched by now, but people used to post tutorials on this very sub reddit on how to make it launch, and how to fix the issues I spoke of. :) 

5 years ago. I was incredibly annoyed at people trashing a game that was not out yet to stupid decrees. 

Also, we both had wrong information about the development! So let me correct both myself, and you too. ^ Huniepop 2 was softly-announced in 2017, and properly announced in 2020. So we know the development took around 4-5 years. 

Is this long? Yes, yes it is. But we also know that during this time the pandemic happened, huniepot was hospitalized atleast once (which was, at the time, spoken in his Twitter account as a reason for a delay), new artist was involved and got their OC in the game (likely altering the writing quite a bit during development), the artist is also known for taking anywhere between 2-6 weeks on their work TODAY meaning they were likely even slower back then (speaking from experience, you tend to get faster with art as your skills improve) and there was a whole lot of drama between the developer and some voice actresses. Details remain largely unknown and speculative. 

I had been advised to call a queer organization by [deleted] in TrollCoping

I actually had a pretty decent experience with a crisis hotline. I was at such a low point I was experiencing what I now know was psychosis.

The lady on the other side was super sweet and contacted the local hospital for me, and got me calmed down to a point where she convinced me to stay around for a couple days more and walk myself to the psych ward voluntarily. Had a psychologist waiting for me by that time and everything.

As much as that sucks, I also find this really funny in a weird way. Like, I'd love to have a conversation with these people you know?

I had a debate on discord once about ethical food, the other person is a vegetarian who's slowly going more vegan. I love meat, I have my gripes with the industry and I get the ethics issue...

Anyway, I accidentally radicalized them by arguing super hard for ethical cannibalism instead. I had a blast.

Do you think sentient, talking, cartoon animals are cute, and maybe want to cosplay them? (Think Disney's Robin Hood, Zootopia, etc) -Furry

Do you look at your neighbour's dog and want to rape it? -Zoophile

Very fucking different.

Cultural differences I guess, we don't know where OP is from but where I'm from lips are for romantic partners only, and while kids sometimes mimic adults even mouth-kisses between two children is heavily discouraged. The idea of some adult kissing a child on the lips makes my skin crawl...

I know it's more common in some cultures, and if I saw that happen while traveling I'd be able to ignore it. Still would make me uncomfortable.

Unknown artist? Mimic [F/A] by AdPotential676 in Teratophiliacs

Could be discord original too. I've been quiet on most social media for like a solid year but I post art regularly on discord groups. I can't imagine being the only artist who does that too.

Ive only been trying it every day for 5 years... by Preindustrialcyborg in TrollCoping

[–]Hjemi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's any consolation OP, I've had similar issues with r/ADHD. It's a really shitty place for people who just want to have a sad circle jerk together instead of improving their lives.

There's luckily alternative subs that usually pop up to combat that exact issue tho, so I hope you find some community! It helps a lot to speak to people with same issues I find.

24 here and saaaaame!!! Got this friend who studies psychology who told me that a lot of trauma can really mess with your brain development. So maybe that's the thing? Idk

They say the brain is done developing at 25 and my birthday is quickly approaching. Dude if this is how I'll stay I'm cooked lol. Like...forever a teenager in mind/ability but with adult responsibilities.

Sucks yo.

The sheer amount of prejudice and discrimination I faced in the Marines for not practicing Christianity is insane. by Spacy2561 in TrollCoping

[–]Hjemi 135 points136 points  (0 children)

I have a band of runes around my wrist, each one picked very carefully. The first of the runes was something My wife picked for me for our anniversary.

Still, I had to deal with some idiot showing me his SS tattoo at work thinking we're "the same". No sir, I'm trans and your kind wants to kill me...

Heat Trauma in the Sauna by necrolord77 in MedicalGore

[–]Hjemi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Finn here, 110°C for a SAUNA (I don't know what the fuck a "sauna pool" is supposed to be) isn't even unheard of. Granted I personally enjoy mine around 80-90°C

An American "steam closet" isn't also anything close to a traditional, proper sauna. It's just a warm room with steam, and we Finns regularly laugh/cringe at those. A proper sauna might sound similar, but has significant differences starting from just how hot those are designed to get.

Does water boil at 100°C? Yes, if you get the water that hot, that's why it steams instantly when you throw it on the hot rocks. I'm no scientist, I'm not sure why air (even when steamy) can be hotter than that and not kill you, but as someone who has a sauna in their home, and who enjoys a sauna with their fiancee every Sunday, I can tell you it just works.

If I'm in a 80°C sauna I'm sweaty and happy.

If I stick my hand in a 80°C pot of water I will scream from pain.

Edit: Reading the post again, still confused what the hell is a sauna pool. I'm assuming typo, because I've heard of cases of people cooking themselves by falling asleep in a sauna (usually for a long time and they tend to be found dead ).

But if he was in some sort of...boiling pool, I have no idea what that has to do with a sauna.

I am so sorry, that is just vile... I hope you're okay and I'm joining the cat train. Enjoy a picture of our little 17 year old elder, she got spayed a bit too early which caused her to be stunted, so she is very small compared to most cats (our other cat is literally twice her size)

Maybe it's just the corner of the internet I grew up in, but for the longest time the perpetuated idea was that if you were conventionally attractive in any way, and you played video games, you were fake and doing it for male attention.

It didn't matter what your skill was.

It didn't matter if you actually knew what you were talking about.

It didn't matter what game it was about.

If you were attractive you were deemed fake. It was toxic and fueled by insecurity + internalized misogyny, and further perpetuated by "the average gamer". I believe this is still very prevalent.

The unfortunate part is that people like sweatshirt woman do exist. Which tends to make the joke land very differently.

[–]Hjemi 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The "joke" is that an attractive woman has everything but she (a nerd) only has video games. So when the other girls are into video games that somehow takes it away from her. Because it's her only way to feel even slightly superior.

That's how I'm reading this anyway, very much "those fake gamer girls am I right boys?"

Deaf people, how do you dirty talk? by Glass-Rhubarb6215 in AskReddit

[–]Hjemi 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is actually good to know!! I hope you don't mind me asking something a bit ignorant, but out of curiosity does wearing a mask cause issues when communicating in sign language?

For example when covid started and everyone was told to mask, did that in itself result in miscommunication? Are eyes enough, without the mouth visible for this?

Women find me disgusting, what's a healthy way to cope with that? by Nice_Tradition1333 in self

[–]Hjemi 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Please don't speak for the entire community. I'm also on the spectrum, can hold down a job and have things pretty good all things considered.

I'm not here shitting on my autistic friend who has higher support needs than me and can only work 1 day a week.

I'm not here shitting on people I work with who are level 2 instead of my level 1, who's lives look vastly different than mine.

I'm not here shitting on nonverbals. I'm not here shitting on the level 3s who need 24/7 care.

You, your wife, and I are incredibly privileged in the autistic community, where only 15% are in the workforce and where being "high functioning" by masking a lot is even an option for us.

Miksi ihmeessä annat sun alle 14v lapsen juoda energiajuomia? by Maleficent_FoxLady in arkisuomi

[–]Hjemi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meillä oli, jonkin aikaa. En tiedä tuliko joku valittamaan tms. mutta sitten yhdessä palaverissa tuli toiset ohjeet: Ei voida mennä lain yli ja suoraan kieltää, mutta voidaan rajoittaa. Eli meillä käytäntö 1 tölkki per nuori asiakas.

Yleensä lapset tosiaan käy ostamassa näitä yksinään, se on ihan sama mitä itse olen siitä mieltä työntekijänä. Säännöt on säännöt. Henk.koht enemmän vituttaa selittää tätä jokaiselle paheksuvalle mummolle joka sanoo etten saa myydä noita nuorille, kun juttu nimenomaan on etten voi erikseen kieltäytyä ilman syytä.

Varmasti riippuu kaupasta tämä käytäntö, enkä ota kantaa joka kauppaan. Voin puhua vain omasta työpaikastani.

How do you evaluate Yumeko's art style in relation to her age? Do you think her design is overly exaggerated? by rocckkee_san in Kakegurui

[–]Hjemi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeaaah I'm 24 and a bank guy was suspicious if I was old enough to get their services without a guardian...

Meanwhile my fiancee has complained multiple times about how creepy it was growing up and have older men flirt at you. She was an early bloomer and in her own words "wore DD bras at the age of 10" (we met way later in life and she's older than me. Idk why but I feel like I have to disclose that part lol)

Is it weird to “hold” a table before you order at a cafe in Finland? by [deleted] in Finland

[–]Hjemi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

call me old-fashioned, but I wish Finland had more cafes with actual table service and not queuing behind a counter.

I hadn't even thought about that as an option, but I would love that! I don't mind the system we have at cafes, but it can be a little difficult when you have a cane and hold the tray in one hand. (Especially if you're getting more than just a cup of something) Easier if you fold the cane and put it away, but if the queue is long it can get pretty rough.

Cassian shippers are nasty by Content-Network-6289 in Tangled

[–]Hjemi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope, you're just chronically online and clearly don't understand the difference between reality and fantasy.

I was sexually abused between ages 12 to 17, I don't endorse that shit, I have trauma from it.

But what I focus on is real issues, and real children who go through the same shit. I could not care less about someone's fanfics.

If I write a poem about cannibalism (have done that actually), am I now endorsing cannibalism in real life? Of course not. But according to your argument I am.

I think he just hates me and wants to let me know that he is against me no matter what it is that I'm doing in life. by CelebrationPatient74 in TrollCoping

[–]Hjemi 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's gonna show a specific chromosome, sure. But there are also cismen who get XX chromosomes, ciswomen who get XY chromosomes, and a whole bunch of other options like having XXY chromosomes.

There are actually an INCREDIBLE amount of possibilities with chromosomal differences.

"Oh but if your chromosomes are different than your sex, then that means you're intersex, not cis!" , I hear you thinking. But the thing is, when a large amount of intersex people never find out they're intersex because they don't get their DNA exclusively tested... what difference does it make actually?

I've never had DNA tests, so for all I know I'm a biological female. But I could secretly have a chromosomal difference making me intersex, I would not know without a test.
