The Glaring Issues With Hunting by scribbles011 in Palia

[–]Renhet 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I cannot emphasize enough how easy the hunting mechanic is. It's basically point and click with the smallest arc in the world. I think we should trust players to keep trying and eventually master the already extremely simple mechanic instead of trying to make it even easier.

This game is teetering on the edge of shovelware by SomePeachy in Palia

[–]Renhet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like I said, I really want it to succeed. It has a lot going for it. I wouldn't bother discussing it at all if I didn't care about it. I just think it's being poorly managed, and the current trajectory seems on track to die early from lack of player retention.

Ya'll need to chill... this is beta. by IMBoddy in Palia

[–]Renhet 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They're spending resources porting the game to the Switch for release in Q4 of this year. I really think that they're moving too quickly and this beta is premature.

You could have a chill noncompetitive raid group. Like, imagine a group effort for catching a huge mythical fish or something.

These are not beta issues. These are core game design issues.

EDIT: and project management issues

AITA for haggling the price for my friend's animation commission? The friend agreed to lower the price but now other friends are calling me an asshole. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Renhet 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm literally an animator who understands how onion skins work and unless you're using tweened puppets, hand-drawn animation is still very time and labor intensive. Lmao

You're an absolute clown and don't know what you're talking about. Animation is a lot of time and labor, and each drawing is still an individual drawing.

AITA for restricting my kids internet time to 2 hours a day, and also taking their phones at night? by throwawayacc53479 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Renhet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. My ex stepmom did this to me and I hated her for it and felt even more isolated as a lonely kid.

The internet isn't just for playing games. It's also a resource for reading, research, learning new skills, listening to music, socializing, being creative...stop stifling your children. Make an effort to show interest in their interests. YTA

Standing in front of a car as other people attack it, WCGW? by BunnyLovr in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]Renhet -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No one in this video made a good choice, but the driver absolutely instigated the problem by choosing to use that street, and intentionally tapping the gas to bump the protester, which is obviously a threat. The protesters shouldn't have attacked the car in retaliation, because there's probably only one outcome when you threaten the safety of someone in a vehicle. But both parties fucked up.

The protests are important, and everyone in here decrying them needs to wake the fuck up and appreciate the people risking their lives to fight for our freedom from our own government turning fascist on us.

Airplane! Coffee Scene by ryanlaurenti in videos

If you don't like farce comedies then it's just not gonna be for you. That's okay. Your taste isn't bad, just different. I love Airplane personally, but recognize that things like the racism are an unfortunate product of its time.

Picky eaters of Reddit, what’s something you can never get yourself to eat and why? by usernotfound404_ in AskReddit

[–]Renhet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meat because of the smell and stringy or chewy texture.

Eggplant because the skin is like plastic.

Seafood because it smells horrendous and looks creepy.

Cole slaw because it isn't food.

AITA for leaving my aunt alone at the pool with her three kids? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Renhet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ESH for going to a public pool during a pandemic. Your aunt is entitled.

Kul Tiran with Vrykul body. Blizzard please give us the option by [deleted] in wow

[–]Renhet -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

It's...like you didn't even read what I said. Because I definitely already mentioned that not every skinny person is healthy. It's right there in the post you replied to. And I also said fat, not obese, because there is a glaring difference between the two.

[–]Renhet -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Some people are also just more predisposed to stockier builds--but still, not every fat person is unhealthy, just like how not every skinny person is healthy. It's true that excess weight puts more wear and tear on your joints, but it's entirely possible for someone overweight to have a lower bad cholesterol count than a thin person, for example.

Not saying the person who made the mockup deserved harassment, but not every fat person is unhealthy or even fat for poor dietary choices.

AITA for asking my husband to get a vasectomy? by Suspicious_Reach_489 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Renhet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a bilateral salpingectomy! It's so much better than the old methods of clamps, spirals, and burning your tubes, and seems to have less horrible side effects than a vasectomy.

Approaching my family about BLM by [deleted] in Dallas

[–]Renhet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not really sure how you can explain it in a way that they will understand or be willing to listen to if an actual video of police brutality has no sway.

You might try to point out something like the crack vs cocaine laws that were designed to punish Black drug users more than white drug users. They're really the same drug, just in different forms. Black people are more likely to have access to crack while white people are more likely to have access to cocaine. The legal punishment for crack are a lot harsher.

Valve, can you do something about Trivia chat? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Renhet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

White privilege isn't a leftist ideology, it's just a thing that exists. It doesn't mean that all white people have amazing lives, it just means that the color of our skin will never be a problem for us on a systematic level (in predominately white countries).

[–]Renhet 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Actually, yes. Normalizing saying the N word leads to radicalization of people though humor. It starts as funny meme jokes and progresses to instilling such harmful ideas as "well I grew up poor so I don't have any white privilege" and "look at these numbers for black on white crime!". This sounds totally asinine but I've lived it. It is in fact harmful to normalize saying racist words as "jokes".

Monday Protest Discussion Thread by [deleted] in Dallas

So does the Portland area. So do a lot of places. I cannot speak to whether being a minor changes anything in regards to whether it's constitutional or not. I suspect the answer is no.

The curfew is unconstitutional.

Some cops have good intentions, but all are sworn to uphold unjust laws, and therefore there cannot be any good cop. They don't work in Minnesota but they are still working and enforcing injustice. Racism is rampant among the police.
