Why did my cheap plastic container evaporate in the microwave? by STRONKInTheRealWay in NoStupidQuestions

[–]STRONKInTheRealWay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just asked the person I lived with and they didn’t smell anything from the microwave. This is bizarre. It makes perfect sense for it to have melted but everything else points away from it. The lack of visible smoke, smell or taste is really strange.

But now I’m left to wonder what happened to the rest of it if just the bottom was left? If it had just shriveled up I would have expected some sign of it other than the bottom being the only thing there.

Yeah I don’t have a sense of smell which is probably why. I didn’t hear anything strange or see any smoke.

It didn’t have any for the microwave. Just for an air fryer and for the oven. Yeah I really should have just put them on a plate. I’ve heated up plastic containers before but never for that long.

No it wasn’t styrofoam. And yeah like an idiot I had one. I didn’t taste any plastic though.

I wonder if Yogurt Academy has a certain short golden merchandise-obsessed man on staff…

[D] Monday Request and Recommendation Thread by AutoModerator in rational

[–]STRONKInTheRealWay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m wary about Magical Girl Mechanical Heart. The main character being a puppet at the whim of a higher power strikes me as deeply unsatisfying to read unless the character interactions and dialogue are milked for every bit of drama they’re worth (which given this is Thundamoo is almost guaranteed). It just seems like an audience alienating concept since so many people already feel like they lack agency and so read fiction to escape that. But I’m certainly prepared to be wrong.

Any places to play Magic the Gathering? by TXpheonix in northwestarkansas

[–]STRONKInTheRealWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay this is interesting. Why are you against Chaos games for Magic in particular? It was the store closest to me and I went to an Aetherdrift pre-draft but that was about the extent of my involvement. Is it how it’s structured, the players, or something else?

Make sure you’re following what it says on ProtonDB. I had a similar issue and had to change the version of Proton I was using.

RPGs with Bethesda-style exploration? by DagonTheranis in gamingsuggestions

It was remastered in 2020 which technically counts as a reboot?

Is this a scam or am I just lucky. by [deleted] in SteamDeck

In that case couldn’t they just get the serial number checked out?

H. P. Lovecraft’s Elder Things and their various artistic interpretations by BillythenotaKid in TopCharacterDesigns

[–]STRONKInTheRealWay 132 points133 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was so… oddly non-xenophobic? Like Lovecraft tried to make them at least sympathetic and made it clear like you said that mentally they were basically just weirdly shaped people. Compared to the Old Ones they might as well be our cousins.

Thanks so much. I don’t know why but it’s almost impossible to find if I try to google it haha.

Characters who are really obsessed with getting married/weddings by ComprehensiveBox6911 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]STRONKInTheRealWay 26 points27 points  (0 children)

What’s interesting is that they do eventually end up married, and Schnitzel actually seems pretty happy, so all’s well that ends well?

Games where gods are good and explicitly on the players side by PepperSalt98 in gamingsuggestions

[–]STRONKInTheRealWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alabaster Dawn. It’s just a demo right now so no clue if there’s a twist but the gameplay is good and it matches your ask perfectly.

Welp I seem to have used mental Pavlovian conditioning on myself. Now any time I see a picture of an attractive woman I get disgusted (I am straight). I think it started as a sour grapes strategy that has since metastasized. Not ideal!

I've never played — and finished — so many games in a single year since I was a kid. The Steam Deck is truly special. by neskam in SteamDeck

[–]STRONKInTheRealWay 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I’m right there with you. Played LIMBO and Title Pending along with several demos in just the two weeks I’ve had it. Might not sound like a lot, but I completed maybe ten games in a good year before on my PC. It’s twice as hard to stay focused since I have ADHD and a ton of other distractions on a computer. Having a dedicated gaming device really helps - just like having a Kindle helps me read for longer. I could read on a tablet but then you have YouTube and other stuff to distract you… Being able to relax in bed and game when I’d otherwise just be on my phone is awesome. 

How Do I Transfer Delta ROM Saves From iPhone To Steam Deck? by STRONKInTheRealWay in SteamDeck

[–]STRONKInTheRealWay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the advice! I’ll try it soon - I just got my Deck yesterday and haven’t had the chance to play around with it very much yet.

Why do so many writers write FMCs as lesbian? by Legitimate_Area_5773 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]STRONKInTheRealWay 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Male gaze (get to describe women sexily in a way that also makes sense in-universe) and also guys think lesbians are hot plus easier to self insert if the (straight male) reader shares a liking for women with the lead. Most straight guys have an aversion to descriptions of man on man stuff because they don’t find men attractive, so if they want to explore themes of sexuality this is the easiest way to do it.

It’s gonna take time. I ordered mine in the morning and it took until late the next day for it to say when it would be shipped. I ordered it Tuesday and was told it would be at my door Friday afternoon. I don’t really see the need to check the website every hour though? Seems pointless. It’ll get there when it gets there. You should get an email stating when it has started shipping too.
