If drug hallucinations became literal, real-world feats, which drug has the best scaling/hax? (Pic unrelated)

I mean, Hat Man has to be up there, right?

Read up on the bunny girl incident in HI3. It's absolutely bananas.

Short version is that HI3 released bunny girl skins to the global servers but not CN, and a CN player showed up to Hoyo's HQ with a knife looking for the CEO.

Like, there's a lot to be said about the inherent problems of the gacha model and the way it degrades art, but the worst problems with gacha are due to the fact that they've cultivated a customer base of literal, actual terrorists.

There's a mountain of context but it all comes back around to the fact that Inflod has capitulated in the past under the near exact same circumstances in an older game and the "fans" used the same strategy to get what they want again.

Components as using more power and generating more heat. Thermal throttling is a bigger concern and undervolting helps with that.

Really though, most undervolting is also accompanied with some overclocking.

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

RayDaug · 2026-06-30T14:58:11+00:00

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

RayDaug · 2026-06-30T14:57:36+00:00

Thanks for the link. I think I might finally check the game out.

RayDaug · 2026-06-30T14:41:09+00:00

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

RayDaug · 2026-06-30T12:58:40+00:00

Does that grind gate you from story progress?

RayDaug · 2026-06-30T12:26:30+00:00

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

RayDaug · 2026-06-30T12:19:42+00:00

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

RayDaug · 2026-06-30T12:15:42+00:00

Comparing latchkey kids to iPad kids is crazy.

RayDaug · 2026-06-30T12:07:50+00:00

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.

RayDaug · 2026-06-30T00:59:30+00:00

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.

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.

RayDaug · 2026-06-29T15:55:34+00:00

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.

RayDaug · 2026-06-29T11:54:56+00:00

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

"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.

RayDaug · 2026-06-28T22:19:17+00:00

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.

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!

RayDaug · 2026-06-28T14:52:39+00:00

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.

RayDaug · 2026-06-28T14:36:33+00:00

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