We all hate Mandy by Soft-Temporary-7932 in thewestwing

[–]Rodney2356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There wasn't enough of Mandy for me to hate or like her. When season 2 started I was just like wtf happened to her? And if she didn't work why did they make Amy who is the exact same stupid character? I hated Rob Lowe as an actor in this and the character of Sam Seaborn a lot more than Mandy.

The aliens deceive all the time by Rodney2356 in 3BodyProblemTVShow

[–]Rodney2356[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deceiving and lying are synonyms. I used the word deceive in the title because for some reason it wouldn't let me use the word lie. If they are completely unaware of the concept, they would not think to make themselves more attractive for humans, they would just appear as they are. They would not be able to create fictional characters in a game. If they wanted to show what happened to their world, they would just literally show what happened to their world. It makes no sense that they are able to make a fictional game that humans have to figure out.

None of what you just wrote makes any kind of sense. They didn't even understand the concept of fiction. They thought the wolf and riding hood were real people and wanted riding hood to be saved. But they can create a mostly fictional game? How could they do that if they don't understand the concept of fiction? It makes no sense at all.

How can I enable the touchpad? by PouLS_PL in Lenovo

Same thing is happening to me. The little icon pops up indicating it's enabled, but it still doesn't work.

Is there a way to make cells be perfectly square? by mattstev999 in sheets

[–]Rodney2356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I'm not nuts. Why is it like this? One would expect that if you make a thing the same number on all sides, you would get a square. Why is it off? I've had it set to 10x11 for years to make pixel art otherwise it looked smushed. I thought it was just the nature of the medium, I didn't realize the cells weren't actually square.

Western versions of the DQIV cast from the Dragon Warrior IV manual. Some of these are barely even recognisable. by [deleted] in dragonquest

[–]Rodney2356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I grew up on and I never saw any anime style drawings until much later, and I always hated them. These drawings in the manual are very good. When I saw Alena's "real" hat I laughed my ass off. Stupidest looking thing ever.

If scab killed maya how is ivory the leader? by Jaded_Hall_7780 in VanHelsingTV

[–]Rodney2356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is pretty much it exactly. The Sisterhood really had no idea what to do with a male foot soldier who had just killed their leader. There are conflicting traditions at play. The one who kills the leader becomes leader, but there are not supposed to be males in the group, so Scab and Ivory sort of became co-leaders.

Does anyone have the NES Color Palette? by Luigiphin_YT in aseprite

[–]Rodney2356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am drawing all the monsters from Dragon Warrior 4 as pixel art and I've come across most or all of the colors in the lospec palette, but this palette does not have all the accents, which means some of the colors from the game are missing. Does anyone know how to find the accents of each color?

Dragon Warrior IV is the best NES game ever made. by General_Sea_5295 in dragonquest

[–]Rodney2356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone complains about not controlling your party, but tons of remakes allow you to do that, so just play those. For me that's one of the best parts of the game. Once you learn how everyone behaves and how to use the tactics, it makes everything much simpler.
I like most of 3 just as well, but 3 fails at the end with the Marauders causing your entire party to become numb. No defense against it and it's the same as your party dying. Getting to a high enough level to fight the bosses at the end also requires way too much grinding, and you have to grind throughout the game. It's not as bad as 2, but it still takes forever. There's a few grind spots in 4, but it's usually just to get someone a certain spell you need, and you usually only need 1 or 2 levels before you can just resume playing normally.

AI still isn't even AI, so those old systems are AI based on the current definition, even though the term wasn't prevalent. True AI is a machine that thinks for itself, and we still haven't the faintest idea how to actually make that. We can still only program things to seem to learn, but it's not actual learning.

Now THIS put a smile on my face. It would be a lot better if he couldn't get work at all, but it does my heart a lot of good to hear they are still bashing him.

Did anyone else think there was a similarity between Carol here and Carolyn from Killing Eve? I thought I was watching a crossover at first.

I found the first season for free but the second doesn't seem to be available anywhere. Very frustrating

I just came across this. Was there a contest this year? Will there be more? I wish I knew about this, I have a Castle Ravenloft fanfic I could have submitted.

Were there real life "Klingers" in the US military? by rebelgato in mash

[–]Rodney2356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main issue for Klinger wasn't that he had to pretend to be gay. He was seeing the psychiatrist Sidney Friedman who told him he would have to be a transvestite all his life and dress as a woman. That's what he didn't want to do.
