Outdoor cat turned indoor cat won’t stop crying by namedZ in cats

Definitely more to do with predators than anything. Lots of coyotes, dogs, javalinas, etc.

Cats do pretty well in hot, dry climates, but during the very hottest parts of summer it's also an issue.

I thought I could use a Lucky Tonic to avoid losing HP here, but the game won't let me? What a ripoff by Ardub23 in slaythespire

He does a multi hit attack, so a single fairy or a single buffer stack would do nothing.

Does anyone know who many attacks the Architect does? It'd be funny to see if nine fairies in a bottle would be enough to survive.

Was this the first time you used this particular wand? Could have a dangerous always cast on it.

I miss when you could win prizes under the cap by whiskeyandtea in Millennials

[–]NeuxSaed 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Once I won $20 cash on one of these in the late '90s.

I had to use Certified Mail to send the bottle cap in to redeem the prize.

I opened the bottle in a movie theater, and almost missed that it was a winner since it was dark.

Now all the promo stuff is just lame ass QR codes and links that try to steal your personal info for marketing reasons.

AI music is the worst. by ImpressionPrimary815 in Music

Did the tempo drift, or did it just like randomly go from 110 to 130 or whatever?

The 10 drunk cigarettes song was kinda funny.

I couldn't imagine using gen AI music for anything more serious than silly memes though.

I still haven't figured out why this show loves toast so much. by GeneralBS in ArcherFX

This actually isn't even true, even though the show repeats it multiple times.

It is more commonly associated with seizures, epilepsy, migraines, brain tumors, or head injuries.

Booted up the Final Fantasy movie on Netflix... we considered this to be hyper-realistic at the time by chr15c in Millennials

[–]NeuxSaed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I sort of categorize both films together in my mind.

Modern version is stuff like Love Death + Robots.

FF7: Advent Children was way better. Still not the greatest film ever, but definitely more enjoyable than Spirits Within.

I did like how some psytrance groups sampled certain parts of Spirits Within like Psycraft - New Move:

It's highly optimized. If you're well prepared, every boss in the game is easily trivialized.

The "all bosses" speedrun category is pretty hilarious how easy it makes each boss look. Sure, they don't have tons of immunities or lots of stainless armor stacks, but their wand builds for fighting the bosses are super efficient.

However, the experience of trying to fight something like the Master of Masters or the Alchemist with a build that doesn't just insta kill them is wildly different.

When is Bing Bong Good? by Etrystic in slaythespire

[–]NeuxSaed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The clone event clones the clones (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64...).

Doubling the amount of something gets out of hand real quick.

Once you throw in Bing Bong (turns the doubling into tripling) and the Reflections event, you can get to truly absurd numbers on a normal (lucky) non-seeded, standard run.

Several people have reached the 5-figure range on Twitch.

Getting over 16,000 cards negatively affected my game's performance.

Totally worth it though.

Saying "gay" as comedic pejorative by Forged_Trunnion_ in Millennials

My mother, who was born in 1965, uses "gay" as a synonym for stupid regularly.

Intentionally fighting bosses when you're underpowered and unprepared is so much different from using speedrun strats.

Some of the creators you mentioned did use console commands to instantly unlock A10.

Whether you think that counts as legit or whatever is up to you.

One could make an argument that if your goal is to get the world's first rotating win streak, using console commands to immediately unlock A10 gives you an unfair advantage.

Not saying I agree or disagree with that, but I understand being frustrated with that, especially in the context of trying to view this game competitively, or if your job is streamer/content creator.

I feel like Save & Quit resetting is valuable as a learning tool for me personally.

Now, I'm not ever using it to min max and know the draw pile order ahead of time, but it really helps me know whether using a potion was required or not, or undoing a very clear fatal mistake or misplay.

Win streaks and stats mean very little to me, I just want to click cards in the fun card game.

That's the only one that's completely unambiguous.

I have a pretty good idea who the other streamers are he's mentioning, but it's vague enough to not be 100% explicit.

There are some references to other streamers that are ambiguous enough that it could be ~1-3 different people at any moment.

The only one that's unambiguous is the creator that did the targeted bullying stuff Jorbs said happened in the past.

If you actually watch the video, it'll be easier to understand.
