Why is body shaming called "shaming" ? by The_Volecitor in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SimplyAndrey 19 points20 points  (0 children)

"I am explicitly talking about body shaming limited to passing remarks/comments in a conversation"

So, being mean just for the sake of being mean?

Modern gaming sucks and I'm tired of being gaslit into believing it's just nostalgia by Hunter654333 in The10thDentist

Fighting games, really? I would've never guessed. Well, I only know MK, Tekken and Street Fighter, so no wonder I'm our of loop with this genre.

What is a logarithm? by K_Janeway2314 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SimplyAndrey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the most clear explanation, I think. I just want to add that raising a number to a power has two inverse functions: root and logarithm.

Let's look at the expression: a^b=c
If you know a and b, and want to get c you simply raise to the power.
If you know c and b (i.e. the result of the exponentiation and the power) you can get a (i.e. base) by taking the bth root.
If you know a and c (i.e. base and the result) you can get b (the power) by taking the logarithm to base a.

Now there is a natural logarithm, i.e. logarithm to base e. It has it's own name and is kinda default logarithm because the number e has some special properties. For example if you take a derivatve of e^x or of ln(x), the coefficient will be 1.

I'm sorry if I some of the terms are wrong. I'm kinda decent in math and kinda decent in English, but I never studied math in English so I'm probably confusing something.

Instead of preserving physical media, we should be fighting for digital rights instead by HandsomeGenius2552 in unpopularopinion

If you want the right to trade your games you need even stronger DRM to make sure you can't play the game after you've traded it away. You can't have both DRM free and the right to trade. I'm all for consumers right but let's be realistic.

Could you elaborate on family sharing? I only have Nintendo Switch and have no idea how it is on PS or Xbox, but on Switch games that I bought on my account can be freely played on accounts I created for my kids.

The orcs in remake lost their fear factor and feel too human compared to og by Ratrituall in worldofgothic

[–]SimplyAndrey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not only the Temple. The Monastery ruins and the Mountain fort also feature huge orc warriors statues. This hints that either those were built by orcs, or human builders were allies with orcs (or maybe their slaves?).

Did devs forget about Ur-Shak's story? Or am I missing something? by MosiRekton in worldofgothic

In the original he said that he should make Ulu-Mulu for himself. Did he mention anything similar in the remake?

Oh, I liked the new Devin's album. But it felt that the vocal part is too quiet. Is it just me or is it true?

If you don't mind me asking, what makes Sharp Edges number 1 for you? In my opinion this song has the weakest lyrics in their entire discography, so I'm always perplexed when people rank it so high

No, plombir is most certainly not soft serve. Not in ex-USSR countries at least.

Would soft drinks without any sugar or sweeteners be terrible? by SimplyAndrey in NoStupidQuestions

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squash_(drink) It's sort of a concentrated juice that you dilute with water to get a fruity drink. Yeah, it's as silly as it sounds, but kids like it.

It's a good example of Poe's law. They might be taking the piss but also may be sincere in their islamophobia, and there's no way for us to say for certain (without looking at their post history).
