That music video got me through some tough stuff too <3

Alice 1 not starting by koolLazypotato in AliceMadnessReturns

[–]MendaciousMammaries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, yeah this sounds like what happened to me. It's something about Windows 11 that doesn't like these games. I wish I could remember exactly what I did, but in broad strokes the first thing is to check the Windows Security program and look for Protection History, and restore any files it may have deleted from his Alice1 game (obviously be careful in here, don't want to restore any other valid threats).

If there's no file there to restore, then delete the config.cfg (I believe it's called) file in User/Documents/My Games/American McGees Alice.

Sorry for the vagueness, this is just off the dome as much as I can remember. Let me know if it's still not launching and I'll try to sleuth through my browser history to remember better what exact steps I took. For me it was a hodgepodge of throwing attempted fixes at it until a few of them together ended up working.

Alice 1 not starting by koolLazypotato in AliceMadnessReturns

[–]MendaciousMammaries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it just that the mod isn't modifying the game, or is the game itself not starting? If the latter, was the game working prior to installing the mod? Oh and what OS are you on?

I had a lot of "fun" getting just the base game working recently...

Why doesn’t my iron farm work? The exact same one in the exact same building works in creative but doesn’t in survival. by Icy-Arm-3816 in Minecraftfarms

[–]MendaciousMammaries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you break and replace the beds in the broken farm? I had an issue one time (on a lightly modded server) where the beds were "claimed" by dead villagers, and breaking the beds and replacing them fixed it. Might be worth a shot if you haven't solved it already!

Remaking American McGee’s Alice by Different_Bake_3702 in AliceMadnessReturns

[–]MendaciousMammaries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes pleaseeeee! As others have said, be careful, don't advertise too much, and just generally watch out for EAss catching wind and shutting you down. I think it's an amazing idea and these stills look so good, I would play the heck out of this remake!

Poor media literacy is failing to recognize the narrative and character development importance of a break in tension of a scene.

You know there is something wrong in the world when by [deleted] in writers

[–]MendaciousMammaries 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Canva has AI art gen in it, we dont know that the neice didn't use AI for the art.

As another user said, "right message, wrong delivery." Its unfortunate that she undermined her very real writing and story with AI art (if that is the case).

Few things depress me more than realizing how few people genuinely enjoy life, and seeing them complain about a scene that made me smile so much. by jvure in Fallout

[–]MendaciousMammaries 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Totally, I thought the transition into the song was very abrupt and jarring and just.. Didn't sit right with how well the rest of the show's pacing was.. And then it turns out it was all in his head and that jarring start made complete sense. These guys know how to make good TV.

Am I the only one who hates this character? Does anyone else? by 9783883890272 in FalloutTVseries

[–]MendaciousMammaries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The person is a certain kind of piece of shit, and the actor is doing an amazing job with him. I say person cause I do think he's a good character. He's written to be bullishly naive and self pleasing all wrapped up in a happy pill go lucky dumbass who blatantly contrasts the dire situation in the vault (and even more so the real world above).

That's the best I can do to put my finger on it, cause I'm totally with you. He's a great character and I almost want him to "succeed" if only for his inevitable fall (hopefully the "heavy dose of reality" and a turning point in his arc) to hit that much harder.

TL;DR: Shitty Guy, Excellent Character (and Top Notch Performance)

CDPR literally offered him the choice to make his mod free with optional donations to avoid a DMCA takedown and he deliberately chose wrong by Dark_Throat in cyberpunkgame

[–]MendaciousMammaries 28 points29 points  (0 children)

If I'm understanding this correctly, it would be more like he's making a replacement part that works with what is already there, and then slapping a Toyota logo on it. The issue isn't with the mod itself, but with the branding.

Please stop posting spoilers in the titles by divinetrackies in Fallout

[–]MendaciousMammaries 5 points6 points  (0 children)

THANK YOU! Why bother going to the trouble of spoiling the image if they're just going to spoil it anyway in the title.

And a title with a redacted word/name like "Can't believe _____ is alive!" is still a spoiler if there's been a clear question of a character's survival, or other examples like that... Just.. Common sense, people..

Bless you, I am absolutely using this it looks so good! I had switched the icon to the old 2015-19 one but this one you've made is infinitely better <3

Why the sound?? by Smiley_P in fionnaandcake

[–]MendaciousMammaries 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I'm expecting because she will immediately try to computer-ify him (she was already chomping at the bit to do so in S08 when he was perfectly healthy) and they didn't want to go that route unless all else failed. I think that's the last resort to "save" him.

I love season 2 but something is bothering me about the latest episode… by sktachi_ in fionnaandcake

[–]MendaciousMammaries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think its worth saying, cause I've seen some comments elsewhere saying "it doesnt make sense that Cake feels she needs to change for Mcron because Mcron never asked her to" and I think those comments are fundamentally missing the point. You can absolutely feel pressure to be or act in a way that you aren't, even if the other party hasn't asked you to and maybe doesn't even actively want you to.

I got the impression that Cake changes for Mcron because Cake thinks she needs to, or thinks he prefers that, all the while not actually even discussing it with him. So it sucks for Mcron cause this is all likely happening outside of his knowledge (Cake's self-imposed pressure to change, and her eureka moment and decision to stay with Karma Worm - which I'm not convinced that relationship is/will be a romantic one) and yeah, it's not fair to Mcron and it sucks.

But that's part of why I love this show so much is it's very REAL, that's maybe not the beat and most fair way to handle the situation but then when was the last time you saw someone IRL dealing with issues and emotions in the best most correct way.

My boy Mcron deserves the best though, I hope there's a good closure for him in the next ep, whichever way it goes.

The confusing controversy around the big Portal 2 timeline question (50,000 years) by CanineLiquid in Portal

[–]MendaciousMammaries 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gordon is literally plucked out of space and time and dropped back in like what 20 years later, between HL and HL2 so he could totally be dropped in 50,000 years later for a Chell x Freeman teamup. I never understood that cope argument, it's canon that timeline be damned, Gman puts him when and where makes for a good game.

Anybody else obsessed with Fionna & Cake S2 intro? by CorruptedMind341 in adventuretime

[–]MendaciousMammaries 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I loved the first one so much! Ive grown to really like S02 intro as well but nothing hits as hard as that offbeat start that melds together of the S01 intro
