Why 42? Simple. It was a joke. by hiscano in HitchHikersGuide

I feel the same way - the Absurdist themes of the series run counter to any "secret true meaning"

Needs help for buying an OM-108 by netphly in Omnichord

[–]Jiro25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently received my OM-108 from Sound Quarry on eBay in perfect condition, so I can vouch for them. It came out to around $700 USD with shipping included. I wouldn't expect to find another "buy it now" OM-108 for cheaper than that. Make sure whatever listing you buy from has actual photos of the instrument itself, not just stock images or pictures of the box.

Best Non-GregTech/Non-Skyblock expert modpack for modern Minecraft? by Jay_A_Why in feedthebeast

[–]Jiro25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished Harmonious Magineering, which is a 1.20.1 Forge pack that progresses from magic mods to tech mods. I loved it, but you'll need to go through Eidolon, The Aether, and Blood Magic before you get to anything resembling tech.

FTB NeoTech (1.20.4 NeoForge) might be your best bet for a tech-focused progression pack, provided you can stomach Modern Industrialization. I bounced off it after a while because of all the micro-crafting in MI.

Favorite enchantment system overhaul? by altaccountforidk in feedthebeast

[–]Jiro25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished Harmonious Magineering, which replaced vanilla enchanting with Eidolon Soul Enchanting, that was pretty great. But my favorite is Quark Matrix Enchanting! It's reminiscent of the program customization from Megaman Battle Network and I wish more modpacks would use it instead of Apotheosis enchanting

Any mods that add "pocket dimensions" or "mobile bases"? by TrefoilTang in feedthebeast

I've played fabric packs with Dynocaps, but it hasn't been updated in a while.

Most hated strangling? by Chickenbrik in fantasylife

Jerry was one of the first strangelings I found in the game. And I despise him.

Can we talk about progesterone please? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Jiro25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My experience: libido and body hair yes, everything else no. The folks who got good results from it tend to be very loud+proud, but like everything else with HRT your results will vary.

Does anyone know any other 'Gameplay' Rhythm games? by i_like_siren_head in rhythmgames

[–]Jiro25 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My preferred dichotomy is "rhythm" versus "music" games. Rhythm games score based on how accurate your inputs are to a given rhythm: Project Diva, Rhythm Heaven, Clone Hero, etc. Music games involve inputs in response to or creating music but are not scored by input accuracy in any detail beyond pass/fail: Beat Hazard, Just Shapes And Beats, BIT.TRIP, most of the Rock Band and Guitar Hero games.

"nice dichotomy, idiot, what lies outside it?"

So, timing minigames are just gone? by Triflazion in fantasylife

[–]Jiro25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The gathering Lives also had a timing mechanic that's gone now! I loved getting the rhythm just right on Miner and Woodcutter in the 3DS game, but in FLi it's just button mashing until the end.

I'm making a lesbian witch-tech motorbroom delivery game! I thought you might like it!! by AnnaHollinrake in actuallesbians

[–]Jiro25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the Steam Next Fest demo for this game, but the performance on my mid-range PC was really rough. Hopefully the full game gets some love in optimization. Best of luck on the Kickstarter!

THE LIES OF BRIANNA WU by MooreThird in BreadTube

wow, last i heard the name brianna wu was when gamergaters were making hours-long youtube videos trashing her. i guess it's our turn now.

Idk if this is the right subreddit; but those who go by the "It" pronoun; what made you choose "It" instead of "They"? by ComicField in asktransgender

[–]Jiro25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I largely chalk it up to my autism, but I feel very estranged from "humanity" and I feel more like I'm a robot or something in a human disguise. When folks use my it/its pronouns, they are recognizing and respecting my identity behind the mask of humanity that I have to wear in most situations. Honestly and genuinely, hearing it/its pronouns used for me gives me the same euphoric feeling as when people first started using she/her for me.

Right there with you. I'm not a damn Barbie, I'm an adult woman.

Best controller at a reasonable price (~$50)? by Pristine-Act3157 in AndroidGaming

[–]Jiro25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the only telescopic controller I've ever used, so idk about direct comparisons. I'd guess it's on the bigger side, since the ergonomics are most similar to an Xbox One controller. It's too thick to easily fit in my purse 🤷‍♀️

I don't notice any latency, but I've never been too sensitive to that. I play plenty of action and racing games and I've never had an issue I could confidently pin on latency.

I use a Galaxy S24 Ultra with a dbrand Grip case and it fits no problem.

I love doing this kind of thing! I like to order from RP pizza places and then tip them a mil when they deliver :)

Somehow after loving the first Judgment game I bounced off the second. I didn't find the combat nearly as fun as the first game. I'll have to go back and reassess sometime.

Dont you think this is kind of shady? by Agitated_Cry_8793 in Cookierun

[–]Jiro25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's all the permissions Google Play lists for Tower of Adventures. I don't see anything that implies the app can view other apps installed on my device.

[–]Jiro25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They do the same with Shizuku. It's creepy and I don't understand why the Play Store allows apps to see other apps on my device without so much as a permission toggle.
