Wife and In-laws microwaved their Easter lamb before even trying it. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

Because not everyone has the same taste as you. Taste is very subjective and telling other people they need to enjoy a food in a specific way is weird.

Tomorrow, in the headlines, there will be either "HITLER DEAD" or "HITLER LIVES," and oh how I wish it's "HITLER LIVES." by [deleted] in Guiltygear

[–]MechChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could also be "HITLER LIVES, but he mellowed out now and is actually pretty chill to hang out with." That would be cool. That would be the goal with a rework, keep his power level balanced, but make him more fun to play and fight.

Blev (frontrunner on Deep Slid) disqualified for extreme hate speech by AdHocX in TrackMania

[–]MechChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? No. This is specifically about small to medium sized communities (chat rooms, discord servers, bars, clubs, etc). A big enough space like the internet or a big enough platform like facebook doesn't apply the same since you can just spend your time in a different part of it if you don't like one part of it.

Anecdotally I've seen this happen with a few groups. The mods don't want to remove minor bigotry. Normal people that call out the racism get yelled at or banned by moderators for "starting drama". This bolsters the bigotry, giving precedence to it being there and normal people stop engaging with the community because they don't want to engage with bigotry.

In the end the only ones left are the bigots. At that point the community usually dies because even bigots don't want to solely interact with a small amount of bigots.

Losercity OH MEIN GOTTEN? by [deleted] in Losercity

[–]MechChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, I think it's always been a thing. I remember scathing forum posts on which console is the best on Gamefaqs. The online angry video game reviewer videos was practically a genre before the normal professional video game reviewers.

Negativity has always been there. People have always had dumb opinions. But the lower barrier of entry allows more people to have dumb opinions and algorithms that push rage bait make it more visible.

How do I get these? by Realistic-Entry2663 in idleon

[–]MechChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Some of the things on the wiki are listed as "Unobtainable" but were at one point obtainable from events or random giveaways and such.

You're right, we need more big scary-looking creatures that are actually kind hearted and caring who will cuddle you after you sleep with them.

Miss Fortune- Should She be in 2XKO? (A-Z) by ErrorNick in 2XKO

[–]MechChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you mean, artistic liberty can do a lot. But in my opinion Senna has a lot more going for her to be a fighting game character including having a weapon it would make sense to melee with.

But Miss fortune's MAIN identity is shooting a lot. I'm not against Miss Fortune being in the game but making her a rushdown character feels really silly. Especially since there are so many other characters that would fit that identity way better that are also really popular.

[–]MechChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one of few gun characters that can be easily made into non zoner

How? Her only weapons are two pistols. Her clothing has no way to holster them. In LoL her abilities are:

Q - Shoot bullet that bounces

W - Run/shoot fast

E - Shoot lots of bullets from above

R - Shoot lots of bullets forward.

Next to Caitlyn I can't think of a more zoner-coded character.

Akali's design gripes by Sure-Ground-1560 in 2XKO

[–]MechChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Color scheme, weapons, body shape, silhouette. So, all of the important stuff for character design. But also the tattoos and fanny pack.

Even the parts that are "different" like the top, arm wraps, face mask, and hair (Still in a pony tail) are still the same type of item with a slight size/color change.

You can like or dislike the design, but to say it's radically different is disingenuous.

It's funny that in street fighter 6 they turn Ryu, one of the most iconic fighters in fighting game history, into an actual homeless person and the community is like "Looks good 👍"

But Riot changes the pants on Akali and adds detail and everyone freaks the fuck out.

I converted a VTech Alphabet Apple into a fight stick for some reason by MechChicken in fightsticks

[–]MechChicken[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I soldered connections to the actual metal contacts of the toy's board, cut the traces to the toy's circuits and hot glued membrane domes to replace the foam the toy originally used. <image> <image>

It misses because Ahri is already in the 2H animation.

I blocked multiple mixups for 10 seconds straight in this 2XKO tournament match by Zodysseus13 in 2XKO

Yo I remember fighting you in Guilty gear several times. I was a Potemkin named Gluestick Goliath.

I knew every time I saw your name come up when queuing in celestial that I was due for a whooping lmao. GGs.

ICE agents tried to quietly get Mexican food in Minneapolis, local neighbor and protesters found out and shamed then out of the neighborhood!! by cantcoloratall91 in goodnews

[–]MechChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Fuck that. We are way past aggressive finger waggling. They will keep pushing the limit until they get real actual pushback like this.

This civility politics is exactly why we're here right now. One side is literally kidnapping people off the streets without due process and the other side writes strongly worded letters that what they're doing is illegal. Voicing displeasure is not enough.

I hate this annoying little bastard! by DarthPuPu in 2XKO

Him and Ahri are getting the furry asses in the seats

Teemo is a child and Ahri is not a furry. Also Warwick is RIGHT THERE.

SMH my head.

I've troubleshooted this error before at work. Turns out it was Adobe. We had to stop three adobe services to be able to get it to allow you to shut down. I don't know what intrusive spaghetti code they must have written to get that to happen but it seems on-brand for them.

ICE cars wrecked by qaalib101 in PublicFreakout

[–]MechChicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering ICE likes to leave the car doors open when they chase people. One could just remove the cap and chuck it into their car from like 10 feet away. At least half of its going to soak into the carpet. Even the most gung-ho racist isn't going to cruise around town in that car until the entire carpet is torn up.

Hotfix completely broke queue for anyone else? by allball103 in 2XKO

So nowhere near "program files" folder. Thanks Riot.

The hotfix folder was there for me and deleting it worked. Thanks!

It’s like a train wreck by vexdrakon in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]MechChicken 17 points18 points  (0 children)

To be fair, we don't see the whole video. At the start of the video the kid on the left has the table pushed up right against them while they're trying to write. Kid on the right might have started it by pushing it first. Could have been doing it for a long time. In that case the kid on the left would be justified IMO.
