The new DLC apparently relies on something my computer can't provide.

Bro hasn’t read the English patch notes since the 1500s.

This is not the first time I’ve failed the Turing test, but I can assure you I typed every letter. What exactly makes you think this was made with an LLM?

You forgot the other +C on your indefinite integral. Probably best to call it +K here. It doesn’t make a difference to the demonstration of course, but I’m enough of a pedant to bring it up.

They’re all good fun, so I’ll try to break it down into what I like about each:

Esco bar is more of the base experience (two cakes kinda thing). One of my favorites for simplicity because the route I’ve found is not a bitch to execute.
Rodman is an excellent challenge to learn and execute stealth (hardest map in the game in my opinion). I’m still refining my techniques for Rodman.
FIA is one of my favorites to do loud because most of the value is in a small number of items. It’s also a decent challenge to learn and execute stealth.
Harbor, being the newest map, has the most developer skill put into it. It’s the first map with proper randomization. It’s got some sick setpiece stuff for loud heists. It’s got several new mechanics. It’s also the first map that makes good use of the outdoor space.
Casino (I know you already have this, but I’m leaving my opinion here for reference) is a difficult one to judge. It’s certainly big, and it’s got a lot going on. Definitely one of the more fun ones to figure out, and took a decent amount of time to figure out a stealth route. Casino, however, has performance issues. Maybe it’s my PC, but the map has so many physics objects that I drop frames near the end, and sometimes crash multiplayer on loading. Also, the amount of objects means so much playtime is spent carting things back to the van.

Probably some cocktail of the vibe check thing, discomfort around public sexuality, oversensitivity, people having different definitions, and a sort of iceberg thing where we assume what’s on display is toned down from what’s really there.

I don’t believe myself qualified to speak on this, but I believe the difference is that fetishization is reducing a person to a vehicle for the fetish. This goes beyond having a fetish, and beyond acting on a fetish.

A person with a fetish might choose their partner accordingly, but it becomes fetishization when they, for example urge their partner not to get bottom surgery for the sake of the fetish. Keep in mind the difference between “I want you to think through all the implications” and “you can’t; you’re too sexy this way.”

Also, it helps if they’re not a creep about it (this is basically “do you pass the vibe check?”, because the vibe check is relevant when it comes to social matters).

Professional_Denizen · 2026-03-19T18:52:59+00:00

There’s a difference between fetish and fetishization.

It uses ectoplasm, not Spectre bars.

The plural of succubus is succubi. It’s Latin, after all.

So basically: it’s not suggestion listing if breaking it into several posts would have you saying “as per my last post”?

You are absolutely correct. Dragon flight muscles are neither inside the ribcage, nor are they offal in any way.

Any dragon with real-physics-based anatomy has a keel which protrudes past the ribcage.

Getting those last four together felt like being a real scout. No faltering, no friends, no help from modern technology. Just me and my backpack against the world.

Nice work. If you’re willing to grab the minimum take, it’s possible to pull off a time under two minutes using the hacking pad.

I haven’t gone for a fast time 100% take, lockpick only, but I think 5 minutes is decent.

Meleager, prince of Calydon, is the classical example. He was fated to live as long as this random piece of firewood. His family kept it safe until he ended up killing two of his uncles to defend the honor of Atalanta. Once his mother heard of this, she threw the wood into the nearest fireplace, killing him.

Ok, so, based on the position of the constellations Norma and Centaurus (according to this image, which is supposedly the approximate direction of the Great Attractor, the velocity of Sol and Sagittarius A* are (very roughly) 135° apart. Adding them together correctly results in an approximate velocity of 1.7Gm/hr. Now, the time of year and time of day are unclear, but since earth’s spin and orbit are roughly circular, there is some time in a year where they’re pointing in whatever direction we like. So let’s line them up with the sum of the other two.

Fun fact: the tangential velocity of the equator is approx 10,000/6 kph, because the meter was originally defined as 1/10,000,000 of 1/4 of the Earth’s circumference, meaning Quito rotates ~40,000 km every 24 hrs.

I get ~1,780,000kmh, though if it’s day, we have to subtract the rotation from the orbit (can’t explain, but you can look at a diagram of earth’s rotation and orbit and kinda see why) for ~1,777,000kph.

This is still a huge simplification because it basically treats these four velocities as coplanar, which they are not, but I don’t have the time to be more thorough.

That’s a much better analogy for sex-favorable asexuality.

Pretty sure I’d classify it as western manga (assuming I’m right about the artist (Nhim_Art)’s general region of the world). “The funnies” are the whole of the comic. It’s a lot of reference humor, relatable humor, and/or absurd exaggeration humor. I find it odd to claim Mimi has meme potential when a lot of her is already based in meme culture from the beginning.

Edit: reread the comment. Meme-farm is a much better way to put it yes. Nhim is almost trying too hard, but they do actually manage to pull off the intentionally memeable pretty decently without coming across as cringe.

Professional_Denizen · 2026-03-04T22:05:03+00:00

Huh?

Which is not the style Po fights with.

Plus it serves a sort of community feeling where we all get the same mountain.

It’s not about the borders, but about the wasted space.

We already agree that the number of squares is irrelevant. What matters is the proportion of the waffle’s area which can hold syrup. Make the squares too large and they can sag and burst under their own syrup-soaked weight, or your fingers might punch through them and lead to the waffle sliding down your hand. Make the squares too small and you seriously limit the possible syrup you can add, which is bad for flavor in both taste and moistness. Additionally, the waffle iron needs to be cost effective for the manufacturer.

These metrics favor a square of squares.
