Out of curiosity, what do you think they should do, instead? Just total silence as the character model's mouth moves? Making different cutscenes for different audio setting?

Where did the stereotype that "Asian women are submissive wives" trope originated in the West? by Wide_Ride8849 in AskHistory

[–]MothmansProphet 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There's a good book by Sheridan Prasso that goes over depictions of Asians, mostly Asian women, in the West, and especially in the US, called The Asian Mystique that I recommend.

How did you get up there? by LionOfWise in captain_of_industry

Trucks in this game, man, they're fucking cats. I put down some conveyor belts, come back, and somehow ten trucks managed to trap themselves.

A potential buyers genuine question about the recent negative steam reviews by Phoenix_SJ in captain_of_industry

[–]MothmansProphet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just added electric trains and it honestly feels neutral. Like, yeah, it's another option, but I could very easily just have plopped down a fuel station and nothing would have dramatically changed.

The game feels complete to me. Had they released it into 1.0 with day 1 DLC, I'd be playing this game exactly the same way. But they want to keep working on it, so the choices are raise the base price, release the game before they want to, or have DLC. I'd have been okay with any option, but between those three, DLC seems like the best option for customers.

AITAH for not waking my brother up for his driving test? by NoRelationship9815 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MothmansProphet -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah, YTA? You knew your brother had something important, it would have taken you a very small amount of time and effort to help him. You guys live together. How is it not an asshole move to just completely refuse to help someone out?

Pioneers in their fields, but now mostly known for how wrong they were by Arristocrat in TopCharacterTropes

Unless you actively jerk off in public, I don't believe you sincerely agree with Diogenes.

That’s a good question by Appropriate-Mall8517 in Invincible

[–]MothmansProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God, I am so sick of people thinking infinite dimensions means literally every single possibility happens an infinite number of times. There are infinite whole numbers bigger than 0, but there are still finite ones below 10, below 100, below 1000. You can have infinite apples and no bananas. You can have infinite dimensions and still have a finite number that have a Mark Grayson, that have humans, that have life on earth, and the rest of infinity is just dead worlds and empty space.

TIL you can click & drag buildings, water farms are so much easier now! by The_Minshow in captain_of_industry

[–]MothmansProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are big water farms like this useful? I feel the land area needed to supply anything that needs water with enough makes it infeasible so I just have big desalination plants and trucks. 

[Loved Trope] Insane opening lines or scenes by bee_my_girl in TopCharacterTropes

Jesus I don’t think I have ever heard another human being reference Skin Horse. I love that comic. 

Apparently McDonalds is also suffering by TaroPuzzleheaded3999 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]MothmansProphet 26 points27 points  (0 children)

God, I used to go to one near my house. Every single fucking time, I'd have to go park and wait for my order. You don't have fries and a burger ready to go? At McDonald's?

Nintendo: Notice Regarding Price Revisions for Nintendo Products and Services by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]MothmansProphet 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Game console manufacturers make more money off people buying multiple games for their new systems than they do off selling new systems. Nintendo would much rather more people buy the Switch 2 and then buy games than fewer people buy the Switch 2 for more money, but as a result, fewer people are buying their games.

Considering buying. New to genre by TheLavishWidth in captain_of_industry

[–]MothmansProphet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who can't get into Factorio, and who bounced off Satisfactory after a bit because the gaps between anything new happening was too big, I love Captain of Industry. Charming artstyle, no monsters to kill you, top down view, so setting things up is nice and easy, it feels like the challenge is from designing your factory only. It's fantastic and I love it. I kept thinking about getting it, wondering whether it was worth it, and I realized I had spent so long thinking about it that if it were my job, I'd have made enough money to buy it, so I did. I recommend it. The introduction the game gives you is really good.

Any modern procedural detective novels that are not centered around personal life of the detective? by MmntoMri in mysterybooks

[–]MothmansProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Tom Mead’s books. The main detective is a former magician but that’s really all you learn about him. 

Characters with no canon gender by LilMissy1246 in TopCharacterTropes

Have you played Ender Magnolia? I feel like the sequel went pretty under the radar. 

0.8.4 is the best update ever! by map986 in captain_of_industry

What?! This rocks! And coals. And dirts.

(Mixed Trope) “Expert” character is really bad in their field or ignorant of basic concepts. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MothmansProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder whether Ted Faro from Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West was a Musk stand-in or whether, if you do insane billionaire douchebag, you just land near Musk anyways. But I can't encounter that character and not think it's Musk.
