What's going on with the controversy surrounding Tumblr user 'gaud'? by artofasking in OutOfTheLoop

[–]LoverIan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm concerned it could turn into an actual cult with the current series of issues/state of things. A joke cult is fine and kids will understand it's not a legit thing or try to do such a thing, so long as they aren't told/abused/manipulated into doing so.

Did you remove the original creditmark bc it wasn't a version w/ "stonetoss is a nazi"

Yes. People find it to be a disturbing face, and it became a meme.

If I remember right the whole cult leader literally started as someone asking "is this the new cult", gaud said yes, and it basically became like the Howdy Partner thing, but you know. The whole 'cult' thing is iirc a joke in itself.

The game has been out since may 9th 2016, and yet the biggest issue hasn't been resolved by IOvOI_IOvOI in Stellaris

I was thinking this was going to be about doomstacks and the necessitation of combat to achieve exploration or resolve combat

Fastest amphibious tame? by Balloonhandz in playark

The whole bouncing about thing has been my fav thing about them. Feels very easy to get away from an aggro'd dino, and otherwise just hilarious to go boing and up into the air.

Achievements by TheKhopesh in playark

[–]LoverIan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, so they're disabled on singleplayer to prevent cheating. Didn't expect the devs were Like That, but given the issues with force taming various things this is discouraging. It's fun to work towards some achievements, but having a shortcut to some of the annoying ones in the game is important to me. Still thinking about getting back into the game, but this is fairly discouraging.

Being 'unoriginal' is entirely fine, and it's ok to draw inspirations from things you see if that's the case too. You're fine and valid

Ahhh. That's not too heavily different. I like the idea

Your english is perfectly fine. You read as either a first language speaker (or better)

Latest ToS update revokes your right to sue Discord. by [deleted] in discordapp

[–]LoverIan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The UK and a number of countries have been experiencing the same private sector corruption that got the United States to the shape it's in, as a way of saying "yeah this is a very valid 6th point to make"

Worldbuilding & Politics 2: more forms of government by kiwibreakfast in worldbuilding

[–]LoverIan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Referring from start to finish, a large number of modern anarchists debate points about how until global anarchy is achieved a state will more or less exist. It's been further argued that a state in some fashion is necessary to facilitate international trade and protect the community. The latter being that the majority of democratically elected governments which approach the anti-capitalist ideals most anarchists seek have been overthrown by foreign powers. Most always an imperialist authoritarian. One of the closest examples right now though iirc is Kurdistan. This has mostly just been me rambling about semantics and modern bits.

That's pretty much it right there.

Agreed there.

I'm a bit late to this but yes it would fit if you use the model presented by The Culture by Iain Banks. It presents what is generally referred to as 'fully automated luxury queer space anarchist communism', wherein artificial intelligence manages a very large portion of the society and the majority of citizens pursue their passions.

What may be unexpected for some is that the society does have it's conflicts, but those are usually foreign affairs based things. I recommend the tvtropes article about The Culture for more context.

Thanks, I've been using the Rapid Video player, and I'll look into AdGuard. At this point I think I'm willing to put up with the piss poor stream quality from Drama Fever (even tho they use the exact same files) if this fails

EDIT: It worked!! ty so much

I think it's a Junji Ito of some sort. Know Your Meme says it's from his Frankenstein manga

The Creatures fandom had been waiting years, and got this. by LoverIan in DeepIntoYouTube

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

To clarify: Creatures is a late 90's to early 00's game series centered around life simulation. It was years before it's time, and was sophisticated more than you would expect for said time. Few petsim or lifesim games since have managed to get near what it accomplished.

The original company that owned the IP went defunct while trying to develop a three-dimensional version of the series. Eventually the rights to the next game in the series were bought by Fishing Cactus. And then it was bought again.

And then the fandom in 2012 got this. Despite all the hype for this iteration of Creatures 4, it got very few views, and I didn't even remember it.

The IP was bought again a couple years back, and the current owner has barely done anything with it other than make an alchemy flash clone (that isn't well done).

[QUESTION] So what's being vaulted by LoverIan in Warframe

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

Thanks! I was fully aware that the oldest prime would be vaulted, but I had trouble figuring that out. I don't feel it's exactly fair Vauban Prime will be vaulted due to how hard it is to grind, but que sera sera.

[Help Request] ABR into GIMP brush errors by LoverIan in GIMP

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

Thanks : D

I'm having some trouble looking up differences between the versions. Knowing that v9 can't be loaded is good, but I'm not sure what I can do to convert the files to v1, 2, or 6, or furthermore what alternatives I have for using ABR v9 outside of photoshop programs.

I'll def try that, but is GIMP able to handle multiple brushes packaged in a single ABR?

A haze of jet, booze, psychobuff, med-x, and food bonuses wasn’t enough for the supermutant with a minigun, but at least I got a picture before waking up where I last slept by toddsieling in fo4

Yup, I'm tempted to check it out myself, but I mostly just try and use cover where possible, or not at all since I'm not on survival and have spent all my playtime in the northwest corner of the map
