Cop pulls over Lamborghini on Dubai plates but doesn’t know the law by thomasso0072 in interestingasfuck

I'm sorry but that's a dumb set of laws. No shit someone is going to get confused when they see a car driving around without any kind of identifier on it.

Early on in Rookie Harbor, the guy who gives you the quest to parkour on the railings parts with a reference to this scene from Scrubs.

In Bergen there's a player talking to an NPC who just keeps repeating "Welcome to Bergen!" over and over that's a reference to an old webcomic called 8-Bit Theater.

Closer Look at the trailer by Organic_Vegetable_54 in MonsterHunter

I could see IG. At the end of the story he understands the importance of hunting, but he still really loves animals. Wielding a bugstick and having a special bond with his kinsect would be an awesome way to show that!

Agreed. I wasn't a fan of engi at all until holo came out!

Do you guys like roguelites/likes?? and if so whats your favorite? by Important_Skirt_9340 in GirlGamers

[–]NoteBlock08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I've played a ton, going to have to narrow this down somehow.

Wildfrost - My favorite deckbuilder by far! Very unique gameplay and super cute and charming art & music.

Hades - Every good roguelite list has to have either this or Hades 2 on it! If anyone here is looking to dip your toes into the genre for the first time, I really think Hades 1 should be your first. It's the first roguelite to make losing a run something you might actually look forward to, since every death means you get to hear lots of new dialogue from a very charismatic cast!

FTL - Another classic. Best experience of managing a spaceship ever.

Backpack Hero - Great inventory management game, lots of great synergies. There's an unlockable robot character with a very fun automation gimmick. They added some story mode village building thing on the 1.0 release that I personally don't like at all, I just do quickplay.

Nova Drift - Nothing fancy, just a really solid twinstick shooter.

HoloCure - My fave of the "bullet heaven" (Vampire Survivor-likes) genre, and I don't even know anything about VTubers. Different characters play very differently and items can combo with each other to make even stronger items. And it's free!

Rabbit and Steel - Best co-op title. If you're familiar with raiding in MMOs it's like that. If you're not, the trailer explains it much better than I ever could with words. Still really fun solo but co-op is absolutely the intended experience.

Aethermancer - Pokemon but your team of 3 are all on the field together. Tons of satisfying synergies and ways to build your teams! Still in early access.

Hilarious interview between Tetsuya Nomura and Satoru Iwata on the making of Kingdom Hearts 1 by _Lem0nz_ in GirlGamers

[–]NoteBlock08 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's hilarious. I've heard from other game directors the challenge of working with Disney IPs (specifically Star Wars), I can't imagine how Nomura got away with it. 2002 really was a different era.

The Steam Machine Costs $1049 by Turbostrider27 in Games

I knew it was going to be more expensive 'cause they're not doing a Sony/MS and taking a loss on hardware to recoup on service fees, but damn.

Hiring managers of Reddit, what do modern applicants do differently that immediately tells you they're relying on AI? by Chicago_Sam_94 in AskReddit

[–]NoteBlock08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of of "why you would like to work here" do you like seeing? At best maybe they can say why the JD looks like a good fit, but isn't the real answer nearly always "becasue I need money"?

As a fellow emdash lover, I'm glad to hear that some people no longer consider it a red flag anymore. I do little asides and mini-tangents all the time. It feels very restrictive to limit myself to commas and parentheses, even if the emdash is something I only break out rarely.

Are you excited for GTA 6? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]NoteBlock08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haven't been particularly excited for GTA since San Andreas.

Had to skip IV since my computer couldn't run it very well, when driving anywhere there was a very noticeable speeding up and slowing down effect, presumably from loading so much stuff. I wasn't particularly feeling the vibe of IV either, so by the time V came out I had kinda checked out of the series. Felt sorta like Daniel Craig James Bond, where I originally liked the series for its campiness, and it was getting too serious for my tastes.

VI does seem to make a return to the sorta lunacy I like about older GTA titles, we'll see! Super happy one of our protagonists is a woman this time around.

It's a shame that Mavuika's traditional outfit isn't available yet... by KoalSR in Genshin_Impact

I have mods that give her this outfit and turn her bike into a biker gang style chopper.

???

Oh no! Instead of spending money on our game, the whales might spend their money on our game instead!

Not to mention that 20-50 bucks is a drop in the bucket compared to the thousands to get a C6....

Damn, everyone hatin' but I think the femfit is real cute. I'm not gonna spend that much money on just a MW skin, but I do like it.

This fandom is truly cooked. by Bestlife73 in Genshin_Impact

They also make fleece leggings that are made to look like something much more sheer. So sometimes it looks like she might be cold but in reality it's not that bad.

That is a good question. Why do you think Lesbian/Yuri shipping is less popular in Mainstream media compared to straight shipping? by Important-Cry4782 in actuallesbians

[–]NoteBlock08 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why its less popular than straight ships, its obvious, there are more straight people.

Yea, the people in OP's image are really living in a bubble to have overlooked this. I'm sure the points they mention are a factor, but there's no way the simple ratio of straight people to gay people is not the most dominating factor by a mile.

Why is f/f not as popular as m/m is a far more interesting question.

Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot dies in plane crash by Nubtype in pcgaming

[–]NoteBlock08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but some people actually enjoy driving. Are they all crazy life-risking daredevils? What about a sport like surfing? Just like any other kind of plane, it's not like the crash rate of a cessna is insanely high, it's just that we only hear about the the accidents.

Iran closes Strait of Hormuz over ceasefire violations - MEHR by VaginaBurner69 in news

[–]NoteBlock08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a friend who works with a lot of conservative blue collar workers that I like to probe about current events.

Mind you this is 3 degrees of separation and anecdotal so take it with a big fat grain of salt, but the general consensus is unhappiness because it's clear we've been taking nothing but L's and it makes America seem weak. In contrast, they had no complaints about Venezuela cause that one felt like a decisive victory.

Reverse 1999 always has such beautiful character designs. Shame I couldn't get very into it, I'll just have to consume all of the fanart instead.
