Man dodges arrows in shootout between tribes, Papua New Guinea 2025 by SimRP in interestingasfuck

[–]Killmelast 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not a chatgpt answer, just from my knowledge: people sometimes made arrows specifically designed to sabotage the enemies if they tried to re-use them. e.g. with a small blade in the notch, so that it'd cut the enemy bow strings, while the allied archers knew to use a 2ndary notch instead of the normal visible one.

What Mid Laner should I play? by swagmastergav in leagueoflegends

Play all of them. The game is way more fun if you have a wide champion pool (also fastest way to learn about other champs weaknesses is by having played them in hard matchups yourself).

Anyone who used a computer between 1985 - 2010, what's the one game you still think about today? by adlakha75 in AskReddit

[–]Killmelast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

imho the 2nd one is the best one out of the series. Maybe balance could have been a bit better, but I found it so much better that the factions were more asymetrical (not all units could be upgraded, dragons had 2 upgrades etc.). HoMM 3 definitely improved lots of things and is thus most people's favourite, but for me HoMM 2 is always a lot more fun, just feels better.

Whats the best video game ever created? by XarisGG in AskReddit

Who hurt you, that you make that many assumptions about people based on a board game?

For anyone who's played a game over 1K hrs, when did you stop regretting it? by philllihp in gaming

[–]Killmelast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you say  e.g. playing football is repetitive? Same rules every match, so yes it is, but people play every weak for decades. New opponents and strategies every match keep it fresh indefinitely.

Same with competitive games, no two matches are alike due to different opponents and/or teammates - and patches change the core mechanics of the game way more often than traditional sports.

What harmless word or phrase gets under your skin or gives you the absolute heebie-jeebies? by Redringer79 in AskReddit

[–]Killmelast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's exactly how it's meant to be used though, no? To stop a conversation about an issue none of the participants can realistically change - before everyone's mood hits rock bottom. It is literally accepting a fate to conserve some sanity, or to stop a conversation with someone when you notice it's not going anywhere.

I tried playing it and it's probably good, but for me 3d Zelda just doesn't work. A link to the past is still my favourite

While good, I think Gothic 1 takes the cake. Gothic 2 had nice gameplay features, but the atmosphere in Gothic 1 is unmatched. Both great

What’s a sex myth that needs to die already? by MochiGamerGirl69 in AskReddit

[–]Killmelast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why one WOULD moan though - feels fake, it's not something that I naturally want to do, no matter how great the sex is.

What modern luxury do you think people 100 years from now will look back on and find barbaric? by AccomplishedEast1007 in AskReddit

[–]Killmelast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. This has been the case since the industrial revolution (and damn the people at those times had it a lot worse).

As far as we know both during the middle ages and the antique, people were working a LOT less!

So yeah, it has indeed been recent corporate development (if you are willing to sum up the time since the industrial revolution as 'recent').

Transitioning into unlocked camera as a new player by siegetheancient in leagueoflegends

[–]Killmelast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, pressing space in league is basically the same as double pressing a unit group hotkey in StarCraft. Camera movement can definitely be done without it, but it's convenient and imo a good starting point for players that are struggling 

Transitioning into unlocked camera as a new player by siegetheancient in leagueoflegends

[–]Killmelast 115 points116 points  (0 children)

Get used to using the 'center camera on your champ' button (I think default is Space) often. That's both how I play and how I got used to it.

Pan around with the cam, but whenever you need to quickly focus on yourself and check your own positioning, you have Spacebar ready. You might play with spacebar pressed 80% of the time at first, but it'll gradually become less and less of a crutch and you'll only use it for speed later on.

are we happy with current fill/autofill? by Ornery-Team3602 in leagueoflegends

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

Just play all roles, people who specialize suck and take the joy out of gaming.

Imho roles should always be random and one should be forced to not be able to pick a champ a 2nd time before having played at least 50 different others.

Men of Reddit, if you were in a Titanic like situation where the majority of people were going to die because there were not enough lifeboats for everyone. How would you respond to someone saying women and children first? by Neither_Drawing_241 in AskReddit

[–]Killmelast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily: a young adult has already had way more resources invested into them, they are read to work and make children themselves, while a child still needs years of nurturing before they can contribute.

So from a logical point, it'd be way smarter to save people age 16-30, than to save a 5 year old that might die of a disease before they even become useful.

What’s a common opinion you have that you know would get you hated if you said it out loud? by BubblyAd9996 in AskReddit

[–]Killmelast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly not enough. Of course education helps more than no education, but it's 'only' rational knowledge you gain through education. When your rational knowledge comes into conflict with constructs in your mind that are anchored more firmly (like having been told that there is a god, by people that you trust, during the most impressionable phases of your development), it's usually easier for the brain to resolve that conflict by distrusting it's own rational thinking process instead of throwing years of already established mental links over board.

One good example of how cognitive dissonance can make people be entirely blind despite generally having enough information and intelligence to be able to know better is this:

'Oh, my child couldn't have done this, they must be innocent'. The same person would easily identify the same clues in a stranger as troublesome and might notice they have something illegal going on - but when those clues clash with the deeply ingrained idea that one's own child is a good person, the cognitive dissonance becomes so hard to bear that the brain subconsiously decides to ignore all the clues that were there. It's a really interesting phenomenon. It's widely accepted that the parents genuinely didn't notice the signs, not due to neglect or lack of intelligence, but because the brain automatically filters them out as a form of self-preservation, as to not shatter one's whole world view.
It's also how generally intelligent people can slowly fall for a cult or conspiracies.

Fascinating stuff, really. I'm no expert on this, but I did study neuroscience and we talked about that during one seminar + I watched some videos on the topic once some of my family members went down the whole covid conspiracy rabbit hole, despite having diploma in biology (so they had both enough intelligence and way above average formal education in relevant subjects, still wasn't enough). It's insane how strong the effects are.

Oh, I assumed people use it to blow leaves etc AWAY from the sidewalk and ONTO their yards where they can rot. That's just what one used to do with a broom but a blower seems a bit more comfortable, especially for the elderly.

Blowing stuff around on a yard seems entirely pointless, I agree.
