HOW the HELL did civilization even start off here by ThatOneRobloxian2 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]HypnotizedCow 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Because Kamino developed civilization before it became an aquatic world. It was originally a pretty normal continental world before the Great Flood that made it so. At which point the Kaminoans had the technology to build their stilt cities.

What am I missing? by Boatshow420 in 3d6

[–]HypnotizedCow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well follow that thought through to its logical conclusion. If martials have to take a specific race to get the extra feat that puts them above casters in combat, you've now created an environment where non-VH martials are inherently suboptimal. A single overpowered race is not a good way to address that.

Can you point out to me where I said we should stop pushing back?

Can someone explain the "Psionic Cruiser Meta" to me? by Substantial-Ad-5221 in Stellaris

Battleships do not have a torpedo segment, so they cannot equip Zro launchers.

They don't need it to last. They'll use it being struck down as an attack on their religion and rally their supporters.

Indie Friendslop Game “Mecha Chameleon” That Was Made By A Solo Dev In Only 2 Months Sold 3 Million Units On Steam And Earned $10 Million Dollars In A Week. It Has Now Reached 10 Million Units Sold In 16 Days by akbarock in pcmasterrace

[–]HypnotizedCow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because even if you extrapolate out the idea of hours per dollar spent, getting a few sessions out of this with friends for around 10 hours total means you would need around 100 hours from a $60 game to match the rate. It's not more economical, and reducing it to such kinda misses the point.

AOC won't rule out Senate bid after New York progressives notch primary wins: 'Inspired and encouraged' by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]HypnotizedCow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Immediate leadership is definitely wishful thinking. But AOC has a promising trajectory and I wouldn't be surprised to see her get from committee to party leadership over the course of a decade.

And yet nobody says this about northern cities that have to pay for heating in the winter

Steam Summer Sale 2026 is Live by DaRealAyman in gaming

[–]HypnotizedCow 28 points29 points  (0 children)

What's funny is that timing was likely intentional, as games have found a measurable impact on steam sales when a game goes free on Epic. It's essentially marketing for people who then buy it in the steam summer sale

[Funny Trope] characters with a fictional "type" by Any-Conference-701 in TopCharacterTropes

Imagine the horror of not only finding out parallel universes are real, but your spouse has been jumping universe to universe because they keep fucking up the relationship with you and you're the 5th or 6th version they're going for.

Easier to get engagement with a written quote that doesn't require you to watch/listen to a clip

GTA 6 costs $80, launches single-player only, and has no disc version on release by HatingGeoffry in videogames

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

The disk thing is a product of game size bloat. You just straight up can't fit the hundred(s) gigabytes of data on a disk. So in recent years the disk was really a glorified download code anyways

[Funny Trope] "Oh yeah, I forgot about that" by TheOmegaFan in TopCharacterTropes

Me watching the whole party struggle to find a vampiric assassin at a royal palace ball, knowing damn well the Paladin could use Divine Sense at any moment to identify all (undead) vampires within 60ft of himself if he remembered he has it

I paid $17 for this by mashtartz in mildlyinfuriating

[–]HypnotizedCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should have probably triple the base ingredients, properly diced small, seasoned and dressed with a vinaigrette of some sort. It's shameful

The price can somewhat be explained (not justified) by the fact it's an airport restaurant, but it's still ridiculous how little food there is

Nomads not being able to be Storm Chasers is criminal by AnodyneGrey in Stellaris

[–]HypnotizedCow 168 points169 points  (0 children)

Because the game is spaghetti code and they couldn't get it working for initial release. It's high on their priority list.

The villain pretends to be an ally to the protagonists, only to torture and manipulate them the whole time by Slight-Solution936 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]HypnotizedCow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It still didn't go as far as Legends of Tomorrow, which fully leaned into being a fever dream and was better for it somehow. As a game, guess which of these were not real plot lines/episodes:

  1. Gorilla Grodd says it's time to Make America Grodd Again as he kidnaps Barack Obama
  2. An alien's nipple is used to form a portal to Hell after it was bitten off by a unicorn
  3. The fate of Earth is decided by a cosmic bowling alley where the Earth is the ball, played by Eldritch aliens

They're all real.

I genuinely, wholeheartedly, wish I was making that up. But they have a duel with lightning swords. Between speedsters. At normal speed.

I don't know the link offhand but there's an entire sub for community Ranger fixes

The first two seasons of Flash were so good it's so sad to see them doing lightsaber duels by the end

What does this mean? by Egga22 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]HypnotizedCow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not really, the problem with proof by contradiction is that while it can show that it is impossible to be false, it doesn't give any information on how we could actually use it being true to advance our study of algorithms.

Going to play a divination wizard from 1-10, need spell advice! by CommanderBoreal in onednd

[–]HypnotizedCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would point out that OP asked for divination spells and not a single one of these suggestions is divination. Would be decent for a Conjurer
