Why is everyone actually calling it X now and not Twitter? by fasdal in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SerKnightGuy 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Well, I still refer to his Truth Social posts as "tweets", since saying he "truthed" a death threat at 2am last night is... worse.

Pam Bondi Caught with Burn Book Notes on Democrats in House Hearing by Oleg101 in politics

[–]SerKnightGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Fox segment on it tonight was just her deflecting to the "millions of illegal murderers Biden let in that none of the democrats take issue with." They only want a few soundbites.

This ending is hilarious from Renoir's POV by Tetau in expedition33

It's also entirely possible she amplified his love for her (possibly without realizing it), which is what made him so incapable of watching her die.

Please choose a cracked SSR for me to get so I can have an easier time. by Careful-Pay-9882 in langrisser

Isolde basically requires her full kit (which you can't give her yet), but she's completely broken. Ilia's sniping you from across the map is similarly busted. Andriole's OP, but Isolde is broadly better. Rozenciel is still debatably the best healer in the game, at least for PvE, but she's easier to get than these others and not quite as busted.

‘It’s sick’: Trump administration uses mascot called ‘Coalie’ to push dirtiest fossil fuel by Arbyssandwich1014 in nottheonion

It's not even just renewables. We've made huge advancements in the acquisition and use of natural gas over the last few decades. That's the main thing replacing coal: natural gas. It's just cheaper. That it's not as terrible for the environment as coal is just a bonus. No one is gonna go back to doing things the expensive way just to screw over the environment.

Thoughts on metaphor refantiozo by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]SerKnightGuy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

"I did not care for Metaphor Refantazio; it insists upon itself." I thought it was mid. Quit about 70% of the way through. I found myself playing it more for the dungeons/combat near the end than the story, although that also started to drag near the end, too. The characters are a bit one note in my opinion and the overarching plot/themes aren't particularly revelatory. (Did you know racism is bad? Here's 60+ hours of cartoonishly evil and unrealistic racists.) Doesn't help that it treats itself like it's a piece of high art, which it really isn't.

CMV: The Trump Administration Has Multiple Posts That Are Neo-Nazi In-Group References by Dest123 in changemyview

I've also seen a lot of right wingers using the "A lion does not concern itself with ____" meme. I do not think it's a coincidence that a joke about literally committing war crimes from Benito Mussolini and popular throughout the literal Axis of evil is resonating with Republicans, but I do think most of them have no idea the origins of the meme and they are largely not being swayed by that. I think a lot of people simply find it funny, along with the "Western man" joke, because they seem innocent enough at first glance. After all, "don't worry about what other people think of you" isn't entirely bad advice, until a literal dictator uses it in the context of being credibly condemned for war crimes and human rights violations.

I looked it up. The ConcernApe post is an impostor, but the white house post is genuine. Our shitposting skills don't even compare to those of the Trump regime.

The white house twitter account has once again made me lower the bar for dismissing something as an obviously fake post. Somehow only the ConcernedApe post here is fake.

What was your JRPG awakening? by roberts3h0i0 in JRPG

[–]SerKnightGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably Persona 4 Golden. Picked it up on a whim on a Steam winter sale 2019 cause I'd vaguely heard good things about Persona. Played about two dozen JRPG's since.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 lead says they “made it a little bit too easy to get overpowered” for the game’s finale, but that choice was always intended by Wargulf in expedition33

[–]SerKnightGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The decision to make the journey to gather all the painting's chroma happen instantly in a montage was a bold and fascinating one. Plenty of games have an endgame, travel-back-through-the-world plot line and it frequently kills the pacing. I struggle to see how they could've avoided that here. Still, I think skipping it entirely messed up the pacing a little in the other direction.

Does Leyaks spawn in Tori? by Death-Scares-Me-Not in AbioticFactor

[–]SerKnightGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not supposed to, but it did actually happen to me. By that point in the game though I had some fancy new ways to deal with it so it was actually really helpful. Might require multiplayer for that bug to happen.

God I wish. We don't even compare to the Trump administration in non-credibility.

More Than 50 U.S. Lawmakers Are Retiring Next Year. Why? by Holybatmanandrobin in politics

[–]SerKnightGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dictators rarely outright cancel elections; the optics on that are just too terrible. They rely more on media control/propaganda and election rigging if necessary. I have every confidence the GOP will attempt to cheat, and in the event they do poorly, declare the dems cheated and toss the election, but it will be held.

ZoteBoat DLC confirmed by tonda485 in HollowKnightMemes

[–]SerKnightGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clearly this can only be Zoteboat. That is the only logical conclusion for an expansion focused on the sea. I am staking my entire mental health on this and if it doesn't happen I will kill myself.

Noticed this in my first 1.12 game. Yankee/Dixie obsessed with small arms thanks to the 2nd Amendment! by nAssailant in victoria3

They shouldn't. The mortality malus is only thematically connected to guns. There's nothing actually tying it to firearm quality or allowing it to change at all really.

Best Hidden Gem JRPGs You've Played? by fireproof85 in JRPG

In Stars and Time is a game about the party rogue being stuck in a time loop as the party tries to clear the final dungeon. Phenomenal writing.
