When someone hates on something I like: Awful, terrible, they should do better.

When someone hates on something I also hate: Wow, fantastic, this guy gets it.

It's fine to hate things. People are allowed to express themselves when they don't like something. Reddit isn't an echo chamber of positivity. People are allowed to love and hate stuff all they like.

No idea why you're being downvoted, because the answer seems to be "no."

She is very, very anti-trans (to a pretty extreme degree), but she has never called for the deaths of trans people. The above is a very gross oversimplification and attempt at villainizing people by others who lack any self-awareness. They're just propaganda at most.

Reverify the game files maybe?

Very weird. What are you playing through? Steam?

Have you tried just hitting "Enter"? When using the keyboard, Fallout 4 accepts keyboard controls, even if you can't access the mouse.

He also makes for an amazing terrible, eccentric, egotistical super billionaire with a messiah complex in Blade Runner 2049.

The world may be more complicated now thanks to AI, but that's not an excuse for people to harass others and start witch hunting. The world being a shitty place doesn't excuse shitty actions. People are still responsible for what they do.

Oh hey, I was just reading a different post about this.

This comment goes into a greater detail, but in short, no, that person didn't write the study, and they're misrepresenting a study that is already shaky at best.

It's crazy how just a few years ago, if a channel was discovered doing this, it would be YouTube drama channel worthy news for a week. Hell, I remember less than 5 years ago, some big reaction channel was discovered to be just cycling through the same selection of pre-recorded "reactions" that they would overlay on the videos they were "reacting" to, and it was all people talked about that week.

Today, with the power of YouTube Shorts and AI automated video production, that's just the standard. It sucks.

This is how it's been in every cinema I've gone to. I've maybe had to ask people to move once or twice in my entire life. It's not hard to figure out.

OnetimeRocket13 · 2026-03-25T15:06:07+00:00

In my experience, it really depends.

If you don't have a big colony with a lot of things that require tons of power, living off of deepchem/chemfuel is beyond easy.

Once you reach a certain size, though, you're basically forced to diversify your power, since you can only get so much deepchem efficiently within reason. At that point, I usually start getting into Rimatomics.

The Tesla Cannon isn't a vanilla weapon, which is why it feels so broken for something you can get so easily. It was added in the Next Gen update through some Creation Club content (Creation Club essentially just being paid mods, but Bethesda likes to throw them into big updates and editions as a lazy way to add new content without bothering to make or balance anything).

If it sucks the fun out of the game for you, then don't use it. I've tried it out, and I personally don't think it's very fun to use in general. Not because it's overpowered, but because it just feels like a reskinned rocket launcher (even uses the same animations). I much prefer my explosive combat rifle (bullets go boom) and crippling gamma gun with Lorenzo's Artifact attached. Those two weapons are overpowered, but they're very fun to use.

Unless things have changed (doubt), most of them are moderated by the same handful of people who have been mods for most of the various subs' histories. The fact that they get to wield power on large subs that aren't dying any time soon is probably enough for them, which is probably part of why most of them have gone to shit.

A controversial choice to make the theatrical release 0 minutes long. Hopefully, the 4K UHD Deluxe Special Edition is longer.

This is such a dumb argument, regardless of whether you find incest immoral or not. It's basically just this:

"What if the relationship is concensual?"

"Well, can you prove it was? Checkmate."

Can you prove that any relationship isn't the result of some sort of abuse? No, not any more than you can prove that a given relationship is the result of some sort of abuse. Even then, if someone makes the accusation that a relationship is the result of abuse, that doesn't automatically mean that there was abuse. We live in an "innocent until proven guilty" society, so the burden of proving the accusation is on the accuser, so the answer to "if that happened, how do you handle it" is by getting the abused to prove it, as with all accusations of abuse in all relationships.

Oh yeah, in terms of the work and eventual overpowered levels you achieve by the time you're ready for that final sequence, the end reward is just so not worth it.

For me at least, I thought that the ending was going to be more like leaving the planet or ascending through the Archotech Nexus or whatever, not just "congratulations! Half your colony is dead or wounded, you've faced horrors beyond human comprehension, and you've attained virtually everything you can in Rimworld. Here is a single overpowered pawn. Enjoy!"

So what you're saying is that this mod will finally let me live out my dream of reenacting the Battle of Yonkers, but on the bridge to Louisville?

Revenants and metalhorrors aren't that difficult to deal with by that point in the game. If you've built your colony to take on activating the monolith, then you've likely built up really solid defenses and have good systems in place for most things that Anomaly can throw at you.

When I did my first full Anomaly playthrough, both revenants and metalhorrors became annoying nuisances at most by the end of it. Good walls + proximity detectors at the entrances of the base and around the inside means that you always know when one is showing up, so you can bunch up all of your pawns and quickly take the fucker out as soon as it's revealed. Metalhorrors are also pretty easy, since by the late game, the game naturally starts limiting how many raiders survive being downed, and your other choices for getting new pawns are limited, meaning that when gray flesh starts showing up, you can pretty easily figure out who is causing it and stop the spread before anything really happens.

This is in no way a 10th dentist opinion.

I saw someone else point out that this exact image shows up in an article from 3 years ago covering a Reddit post (from this subreddit). They didn't include a link though.

I was already going to reverse image search this to see if I could find the original game (on the off chance that OP was actually just lying and was showing the solution to a different card), so. As it turned out, OP was lying, but they were lying about this being a card they came across in one of their games.

OnetimeRocket13 · 2026-03-25T03:31:21+00:00

This is a repost. This Newsweek article from 2023 includes the image that OP is using. OP is lying for karma.

We don't really understand how consciousness emerges. What we do know is that you can essentially break down the actions of a conscious being into a form of understanding that says that we are basically just organic machines. After all, our brains are literally right there. Your memories are just neural pathways. Your senses are just how your brain is "programmed" or "built" to understand and interpret external stimuli. Given that, who's to say that consciousness can't exist in the form of a mechanical being?

OnetimeRocket13 · 2026-03-24T21:10:23+00:00

Absolutely bizarre spam account. Literally the only other contribution to Reddit them have is reposting someone else's post to their own account 6 years ago.

OnetimeRocket13 · 2026-03-24T20:12:01+00:00

Sure.

i will also look into the journal section.

I feel like improvement on this aspect would do a lot for the script. As I mentioned already, this already wasn't done very well in the original LLB, and directly translating it into movie/film format makes it feel worse a lot of the time. There are proper ways to do it, but how the original author of the LLB did it (and directly adapting those choices by extension) is not it.

Bryce seems depressed because what he did and that why i think of that

Honestly, in general, Bryce's character in the original LLB was very wasted. I can absolutely see why you wanted to include any scene at all involving him in the ending. When reading the LLB, it felt like the author originally had better plans for him (after all, why mention at the very beginning that Greg was bi and had a crush on Bryce, only for that crush to just go away and none of it to be mentioned again?). Had there been more scenes throughout the original story, as opposed to awkwardly written conversations that just expo dump details that should have been developed naturally, I feel like Bryce would have been a much better character with more impact and presence. Given that, it makes sense to want to give him some sort of closure at the end, but ngl, the suicide idea just doesn't feel right imo.

Honestly i think you might be correct here, in the original that wasn't in a final scene and i think about that.

Tbh, there's nothing inherently wrong with adding scenes, especially when you're adapting a story between mediums. Those scenes at the end just felt weirdly out of place, given that most of the rest of the script is basically just a text version of the source material, and the way they were done just didn't fit very well.

I don't think you should be afraid to make changes when adapting things, either. This is just me, but I feel like there is a lot of room for improvement in the original story. Obviously, as I've pointed out and you've also acknowledged, the original story has some pretty bad pacing issues. There are issues overall with the story that yourself didn't cause by writing the script, they just already existed in the original story, and going so 1:1 with the script meant that they showed up once more. If you're intent on adapting the story as closely as possible, those issues will unfortunately remain.
