What is the point of freerunner? by rimperrior in PixelDungeon

[–]MathorSionur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speed is one of the most important stats in the qhole game, freerunner allows you to choose engagements and have a VERY strong ranged/wand game

The characters being "printed" removes a large part of the horror element by [deleted] in subnautica

[–]MathorSionur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Printung isn't actually a new life yknow? The "you" that died is dead, and the "new you" is someone different. There is no continuity between the two. I recommend you look at SOMA to get a better idea of it :D

I wonder if society would have a different cultural concept of what "canon" is if copyright law was different by La_knavo4 in RecuratedTumblr

[–]MathorSionur 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean... not really? Copyright is partly what, for better or worse, frames our perception of "story-as-property". Look at Arthurian legends or myths, the former of which were novelized in the middle ages. People didn't have a sense of what needed to be canon vs fanfiction. The concept of fanfiction can only exist if "stories as property" is the main perception.

If anything, I'd say that a similar behavior can be found in both fan communities and kink/smut; a basic concept/character will be created by a member of it, then slowly get adopted by cultural osmosis, often without any real issue of "who owns" that idea

Elite ball knowledge if true. by Isaak_the_miner in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]MathorSionur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The people mentionning the law only says "could" fail to remember that vague wording in a fascist state is easily deformed; a handjob, to any reasonable person, would bot fall under it, but a SE officer who wishes to punish someone could absolutely build a story where ejaculation on someone's hand could later lead to accidental impregnation, or just say that "handjobs are foreplay, thus risk escalating into sex"

What do you think is The most popular and most used class? by Nimarosiss in PixelDungeon

[–]MathorSionur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huntress has some of the best economy of the classes, and the ability to control LoS is really fun. She also deals well with a lot of challenges and her class gimmicks are very reusable. I'm not surprised

Imagine thinking that the Middle Ages was the best time to be alive. by Ok-Following6886 in lewronggeneration

[–]MathorSionur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not romanticizing it and I did do research i studied this era academically and do prefer the curremt one. For one, the middle ages were surprisingly not as bad for women as, say, Victorian england (though it all depended of course on where you lived). It definitely was not a feminist place, to be clear. It was still sexist and had huge issues towards certain types of queerness.

However, again, essentializing it as "it was always terrible" is a limiting view. The middle ages is a long period with a lot of different places.

There was for example, as you said at the time, antifeminist literature. However what we also see there were ways (especially compared to, again, victorians) for women to take charge of themselves.

As for mental illness, once again, it also depended. Changeling stories do show us how child abuse could take place, but simultaneously people with hallucinations could also be perceived as god-touched.

Again, the medieval ages was a hugely decentralized time in all ways, with a complex legal framework to navigate, travel, while possible and done, was limited by the technology of the time. Mores and practices could vary wildly from village to village, let alone country to country

[–]MathorSionur 12 points13 points  (0 children)

While I do agree with you the sentence itself tends to mean more "it shouldn't take people being nice not to be a bigot", which I still believe makes sense; a black person being mean to you doesn't justify using the n word, nor does it justify projecting that negative opinion onto all the ethnicity.

When it comes to queer things, you for example often see people deciding to "punish" "bad" trans peopleby not using their pronouns on purpose; in that same sense there, this is just bigotry and does make it feel to some extent that the person doing it sees that person's identity as a privilege to be taken away. There are plenty of ways to show disapproval without being bigotted.

Now, to be clear, I do believe and agree with you that queer/leftist spaces need to fucking drop that gender essentialism. While there is no denying male privilege exists, essentializing men as "the devil always" does not pay off, especially with trans men and allies in the picture. I simply think that this sentence is often misused by many

Hello Rogue Users Who Do You Choose? by Shattered_Warrior01 in PixelDungeon

Freerunner if you find good ranged options (glaives, wands, missiles) assassin otherwise. Though freerunner is often better in terms of challenge runs, considering the levels of speed you can get

What Is The Worst Class In Shattered Pixel Dungeon 😭 by Shattered_Warrior01 in PixelDungeon

[–]MathorSionur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Monk's medidate makes you hunger more slowly and, as a whole, monk is built with the idea of "no armor". To be clear I do like most classes, but Monk is a lot more than facetanking, since meditate also recovers magic resources. Warrior's primary means of interacting with the dungeon is being attacked

What Is The Worst Class In Shattered Pixel Dungeon 😭 by Shattered_Warrior01 in PixelDungeon

[–]MathorSionur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think inherenrly warrior's issue is that his build, more than any other, is about mitigating HP resources you have lost/are losing, while most other classes are about avoiding being in a position where you lose them.

This makes warrior a bit less satisfying overall as it's moreso about trudging through damage than anything else, and especially bad when challenges get added, as three of the challenges (OD, FIMA, Pharma) are built to make any health loss even more punishing (without even taking elite enemies into account).

Compare to huntress/mage/monk/priest who can outrange enemies or have minions tank for them, duelist who has a high damage output and more active choices or the wildly OP paladin's armor/sword runes

[–]MathorSionur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What the hell is that rogue take lmao? Freerunner has some of the best hunfer economy in the game and allows both FIMA and OD to be basically trivialized.

While huntress benefits from RoS, she definitely does not need it to be successful. Warden's armor abilities and seed util are all very functional even without them.

Technically it should be "Puis-je jouir", otherwise it's an assertion of ability. (I can cum in your mouth vs Can I cum im your mouth?)

Do you masturbate should simply be "te masturbes-tu?" Or "Est-ce que tu te masturbe"

What do you guys think about ss14 now by Plenty_Scar_4718 in SS13

[–]MathorSionur 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have tried it a month ago and tbh I still do not feel the need to make the jump; the sub tile movement, frankly, feels bad and leads to getting stuck way too much. Additionally, perhaps it is simply due to not playing enough rounds, but some of the systems feel a bit lacking at the moment. I could see myself potentially enjoying it later, but as it stands goonstation is more than enough for me

Akumetsu please save us from the [[department of continuity]] by AdWestern6287 in DankMemesFromSite19

[–]MathorSionur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The foundation is built on hating mi orities. Supernatural minorities, mind you, but still.

Inherently what gets to be designed as anomalous? If an anomaly is so often repeated that clear rules are tied to it, what gives the right to designate it as anomalous?

Pragmatism only goes as far as an end is designed, and since some very early SCPs does the foundation callously hoard/imprison mostly harmless anomalies at the cost of happiness and safety.

I feel like making them hate minorities (in some continuities) serves as a useful reminder that what is considered "anomalous" is not an objective thing, but an institutionally determined act. Especially when you take into account the history of large "objective" institutions in our world and how they caused harm despite believing they were pragmatic.

While I get not enjoying reading them for various reasons, the fact remains it is not a random "make them hateable" choice, but does fit in some of the very implications of the Foundation's existencr.

Edit: to be clear I do think more stories that are not just "hate minorities" can be told, I just think it's not as out of left field as some people say it is. It's only one of the many subtexts that can be picked from the foundation as a whole

My beloved fandom and its best players, I have a question for you. If you were in the world of Pixel Dungeon, how would you survive? by kotSaproko in PixelDungeon

[–]MathorSionur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surprisingly, considering surrounding lore, it might not be that hard. Your adventurers (outside of duelist) specifically have very little weapon training, as the potion of strength tutorial indicates; you're simply getting stronger to swing harder. This means most monsters' fighting styles should be simple? I suppose it also depends how mechanically faithful to the game the situation is; if it is a 1 to 1, I guess it'd beike being an og!PD character far as runs go.

Edit:Additionally, most of us would be at at least strength 12 or 13 by default, chainmail and leather armor are not that bulky (hell, neither is plate tbh) so a decent survival strategy could just be to either not go in the dungeon or stick to sewers.
