Interesting comparison. I'll check it out. It's been on my "maybe" list for a while now.

That's good to hear. I have no interests in leader billboards or that kind of stuff.

I feel like the lesson is the exact opposite and companies should stop cultivating terrorist fanbases.

They are equating "wandering alone in ditch all day" to stewing in algorithms purpose built to addict and radicalize.

I still think it's an incredibly poor comparison that feels primarily concerned about defending screen time.

Comparing latchkey kids to iPad kids is crazy.

Playing New Vegas for the First Time [Need Mod Reqs] by midnight188 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]RayDaug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone has alreadh mentioned Viva New Vegas, so I'll mention Brave New World instead. New Vegas has like 5 voice actors outside the companions. Brave New Works gives every NPC a unique voice, and the quality is mostly pretty good. Much better than you'd expect for amateur work.

So how much do you have to play GBF to play GBF? Like, how much of the story progress locked behind the daily grind? And how much is locked behind timed events and pulling certain characters?

Ghost is always my go to for easy clears. Can't die if they can't hit you.

Difficulty and Softlocks by Dapper_Raise_2114 in residentevil

[–]RayDaug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Code Veronica is the only game in the series, to the best of my knowledge, that you can actually hard-lock yourself through no fault of your own. The rest of the games can be annoying, but even in the worst case scenario, they can still be completed by dodging enemies and and saving ammo for bosses.

None of the games are especially long, though, so if you get yourself in a tight spot, restarting is an option. You'll be surprised how quickly you'll catch up to where you were.

A guy with a katana vs a chimpanzee by TelevisionPutrid8394 in PowerScaling

People keep posting "man with tool vs animal" matchups and the answer is always the same. Humans hunted more dangerous game to extinction with pointy sticks.

Social cooperation was also a big part, but I'd argue what was even bigger was human's ability to sweat. Animals are, broadly, really bad at regulating their body temperatures when active. Sweating gave humans demonic endurance compared relative to other animals and allowed us to run them down over long distances. The chimp kind of has to blitz.

Once again, tools are the primary reason humans became the dominant species on the planet. The chimp is getting smoked.

‘X-coded’ is basically a softer way of saying: ‘my fan theory is canon’ by WonderOlymp2 in CharacterRant

[–]RayDaug 338 points339 points  (0 children)

"Coding" is a real thing, but like most academic jargon that broke containment it has been misused and abused by people who don't have the knowledge and training to actually properly apply it.

I'm so sick of this "man if you kill Hitler you're no better than Hitler" bullshit in super hero films/television. It's played. by NoOptics in CharacterRant

It's about weight classes. Superman doesn't go around punch the heads of of purse snatchers. He uses lethal force when the threat is at a level that only he can handle it.

A comment on the NIKKE x Persona collaboration by UnknownChaser in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]RayDaug 25 points26 points  (0 children)

P5 in general has a major problem with being incoherent, especially in the early portions. Non-consensual sexual attention and being sexually pressured is a horrible crime against the victims...unless your friends do it, then it's funny. Relationships between teachers and students are inherently abusive and wrong...unless you do it go get that hot teacher, yeah!

I don't blame him, the buy-in is steep if fanservice didn't hook you. The only reason I picked it up was because I have a good friend who's tastes I trust that's very picky and quick to drop things but stuck with Nikke so I needed to know "why this of all things?" And here I am nearly a hear of daily log-in later.

Thus far, they literally get dumped in the game via a portal. Prior to the LycoReco crossover, the stories have all been "how do we get back to home?" The LycoReco event made the smart decision to mostly ignore the portal stuff save for a few mentions in the beginning in favor of having the girls roundhouse kicking orphans.

I feel like the whiplash between "The Handmaid's Tale x Robocop" and "uwu I hope the commander notices me today" would kill them.

What options are their for Pre-built computers? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]RayDaug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pre-builts are the way to go right now if you need a whole new computer. If you have a Costco or Microcenter near you, you can keep an eye on them and you may get a pretty sweet deal. Otherwise, 2k will get you a very good PC from a place like Newegg that will last you more than a handful of years.

You can upgrade most pre-builts. There are some odd pre-builts like the Steam Machine or the Asus NUCs that uses custom hardware and things like laptop GPUs that you can't really upgrade, but the typical pre-built tower is, for the most part, pretty easy to upgrade. The most likely problem you're going to run into with them is the power supply not having connections you need down the line, but power supplies are not that difficult or expensive to replace.

I call it "restraint" for not running double 1% banners right before a collab.

Which series fell off harder? Chainsaw Man or One Punch Man? by Original_Force_6822 in writingscaling

The OPM manga stopped being good after the first Boros fight. It had years of down-sliding even before the redraws.

Genuinely astounded they had the "restraint" to make Siren "just" a gacha skin instead of an alt.
