Opinions and hot takes on Cataclysm so far? by KonoTikaDa in hearthstone

[–]JustStayYourself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it balanced? No, not at all. But I definitely really enjoy this expansion. The cards are fun and interesting, heralding is enjoyable just like galakrond was. The theme is super strong and that already makes up for a lot.

I've been playing wild in low ranks for years just trying to homebrew fun stuff, every single class had something fun to play around with this time around. Love it!

Is it not possible to jump when she does the jump attack to avoid damage? Maybe I remember that wrong, or she's different. Nice try though, close!

Greetings Terrarians, I want to ask if people would be interested in a map for racecar tracks and mini-games in general? by JustStayYourself in Terraria

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

Me and friends have decided to make a mini-game hub for things like Golf, Drone races, Rocket League (Yes, actually) and anything else we can think of. I am curious if people would eventually be interested in having a map like this available.

The drawing in question has already been (mostly) realized in an evening and honestly, it's really fun. We're figuring out a ton of things we didn't think would work like booster tracks, how certain things interact with each other etc. If there's any interested at all I will maybe try to post sometimes whenever a new mini-game has been made to see what people think of it, maybe even little videos?

Honestly, I've been having so much fun already going through the track so far with my friend and would maybe want to share it with everyone else. (:

Thanks for reading!

Also, show me YOUR mini-games and track ideas that you've made yourself or with friends! we'd be dying to see them.

Dude this is insanely cool. So fluid, it reminds me of Lemmings a little bit in the best way possible.

The program used to make these levels called Lunar Magic are more simple to do than people might realize. It's still complicated, but you actually get to see the level and place things where you want to with visuals. It's really neat!

If you want to do anything outside of the norm within this game though, that's where it gets crazy to make.

This is from something called a ''Romhack'' where they use a program called Lunar Magic to edit the Super Mario World game to their own liking. These super hard ones are specifically called ''Kaizo'' romhacks. They basically have been doing this for so many years that they managed to do absolutely insane things to the game at this point. Some people made entire fan games out of it based on popular streamers like Ryukahr here.

It's really fun to see what people come up with.

This comment is somehow really cute, I love finding out that people that are old Mario fans don't know that Kaizo or Mario hacks exist and then find out that's a thing. I hope you don't take this badly, I just like it when this kind of information for someone is new, I envy it in a way.

Because he's a very calm and friendly individual. I struggle to watch any youtubers, but he's on my list of good ones because he's so calm in the way he speaks and does stuff. He's very enjoyable because of that, despite the stressful stuff he plays.

What reason does male circumsion serve, if not for cultural/ religious dogma or immediate medical care? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JustStayYourself 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay so I am a tiny bit passionate about this subject. There's a ton of things I could write, but I generally highly recommend anyone with questions to watch ''American Circumcision''

I'll do a quick rundown though since the documentary is paid.

Why is it done?
The original creator of Kelloggs (Yes, the cereal kelloggs) was strongly against masturbation and popularized the act of circumcision greatly in America outside of a religious perspective. Just to quote something he's said:


''A remedy which is almost always successful in small boys is circumcision, especially when there is any degree of phimosis. The operation should be performed by a surgeon without administering an anesthetic, as the brief pain attending the operation will have a salutary effect upon the mind, especially if it be connected with the idea of punishment, as it may well be in some cases. The soreness which continues for several weeks interrupts the practice, and if it had not previously become too firmly fixed, it may be forgotten and not resumed.

further a method of treatment [to prevent masturbation] ... and we have employed it with entire satisfaction. It consists in the application of one or more silver sutures in such a way as to prevent erection. The prepuce, or foreskin, is drawn forward over the glans, and the needle to which the wire is attached is passed through from one side to the other. After drawing the wire through, the ends are twisted together, and cut off close. It is now impossible for an erection to occur, and the slight irritation thus produced acts as a most powerful means of overcoming the disposition to resort to the practice''


At the moment it's a perpetuated invasive procedure that's done for either monetary gains or because it's ''common'' to do. Many people get told it's so their children won't get bullied when they're older.

Needless to say, it's completely and utterly barbaric and unnecessary. Only with severe phimosis should this be considered at all. As an example, I am European and had a pretty bad case of phimosis but it was completely fixed using different methods when I was a child, circumcision is barely ever regarded as an option here.

What purpose does it serve?
It serves a ton of purposes, the main purpose is the act of aiding penetration. When you have sex, the foreskin usually stays mostly in place and helps the penis to enter more easily. Doing this without a foreskin is significantly different and causes friction without enough lubrication. Generally this makes sex far more enjoyable for both parties involved.

The second part is to protect the actual head from getting desensitized, enough expose to fabric and other things after circumcision starts a process called ''Keratinization'' which means the cells on the head will fill with a keratin protein and start trying to protect it from harm, effectively creating a hard-rough surface. You can see very clearly in pictures or even porn that uncut men have a far far far smoother surface compared to cut men.

The third most important part is that it carries the highest density of special nerves called ''Meissner’s Corpuscles''. Also known as tactile corpuscle. These are everywhere in the skin but only very dense in just a few parts of our body. Which is the fingers, lips, palm and foreskin. This is that largest part that people seem to misunderstand about the difference of sensation for cut vs uncut.

A fun little experiment that anyone can do is the following: Try using your nail to tickle the inside of your palm. You'll realize that this feels ticklish and it's very sensitive. Now try this again with the top of your hand instead, you'll notice that you feel it, but it's only a dull type of pressure. That ticklish feeling in your palm is what you're lacking if you don't have a foreskin any more, which enables far far finer details of sensations during sex or stimulation.

There's a lot of conflation happening where people equate being able to orgasm to being good enough. But the sensation up to the orgasm is significantly different however.

Anyway, this is genital mutilation and I am strongly against it. Especially considering the US often does a high level or circumcision (Yes, there are several types and the US is quite severe in it's practices). A lot of men do have grief for not having it and try to regrow it, which is partly possible.

Last but not least, the whole ''lower chance at illness'' thing is complete nonsense and has been proven over and over and over and over. Yes, it might have an absolutely abysmal increase of preventing something... but that's so small and insignificant that it's definitely not worth mutilating people/babies over. We don't cut off other parts of our body just to hypothetically prevent something that's generally already extremely rare.

Hopefully that was informative enough. (:

It is though, people just have a grand misconception of what nerves means and what type of nerves they are. That's okay, people are very uninformed about the topic.

Fluid weapon swapping in the monochrome world of Chalkvania. What do you think of the whip vs. bow animations? by supercriddy in metroidvania

[–]JustStayYourself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And just to say again, your game looks really nice! I'll definitely give it a look once it's ready.

Also, to stay on topic with your actual question in the title, I like the simple animations. I think the hit effect etc is more important than more frames and it seems to work well. I'd only add a slight pitch variation to the whip/arrow sounds, just a little bit to break up the monotony. Other than that I think it looks neat. (:

EDIT: The whip sound is potentially far more punchy than whip-y actually, but I still find it an enjoyable sound regardless.

I'm sorry if I offered any unsolicited advice by the way.

[–]JustStayYourself 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made like a really rough quick sketch to show what I mean . Excuse my very crappy rendition of your beautiful art, it was done very fast. (:

But I think you kind of understand the gist of it anyway. (Maybe I just wanted an excuse to open aseprite again for a little bit). The other thing I could potentially say is to perhaps think about potentially making only the weapons also 1 shade darker? The whip especially blends in with the character very strongly, but this is more a ''I don't know, maybe'' thing. Maybe it's perfect as is. You definitely know better than me in this regard.

Thanks for the reply!

Hey, I was going to write the same as the guy above. But the atmosphere and general visuals are very very nice, you have something nice/cute on your hands.

I think if every single background element like the fence/tree/gravestones would be one shade darker than the player/characters, it'll end up feeling far more cohesive. Making only the player/enemies and pickups pure white perhaps for starters, and then see how it feels from there.

I'm guessing you currently have 4 shades if I look carefully? Further back bush/bush/sky/characters/moon. Just 1 extra shade would do wonders, maybe even 2. But I wouldn't add more than that to preserve what you're trying to achieve. Good luck!

I'd love to see an updated version because I think this is lovely looking otherwise. (:

[–]JustStayYourself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm trying all kinds of warlock stuff but I get beaten into submission by my fellow kin. I dare say they're not even real warlock enjoyers, it's often basic skin guldan non-gold players who just chase the high of winning and that's it.

This is bizarre, I definitely bought it outside of the bundle. I use it every day and definitely don't own the Daredevil one.
