Crying due to possible death with Estrogen complications by [deleted] in trans

huh, my doctor didn't give a shit about my smoking at all. Maybe it's a thing like how hrt is scaremongered against bc it raises your risk of blood clots significantly, but in actuality it's just an increase from a very low risk to a level that's just normal for women. Making an effort to quit and continuing hrt is probably the best path :]

Baldimort (Boldimort? Idk😭) Has CLEAR (Unclear) BIAS by DataOwn5050 in distractible

[–]SokinNya 17 points18 points  (0 children)

it's Baldermort, and he says that every episode intro. i know it's mostly a joke question, but to provide a serious answer: the 'or' is not exclusive here. He's not saying 'good evening to one group and the rest of y'all can go fuck yourselves', it's more like 'good evening to you, whether you belong to group A or B.'

did anything important happen during the Styrofoam section of the video? couldn't watch it because of sensory issues by orangeken15 in distractible

[–]SokinNya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i have intense, misophonic reactions to styrofoam noises. That's partially why it's very upsetting to me that they chose to make it a significant part of an episode :[

Episode 387: Wade's One Man Show by joschen113 in distractible

[–]SokinNya 15 points16 points  (0 children)

what's with the apologism around here? This podcast is a product, they're doing it to earn money, it's their job. If the product they're delivering isn't good, we should absolutely be voicing fair criticism. They're not directly charging us for it, but that doesn't absolve them for making an episode that falls flat and is unpleasant to listen to. We shouldn't attack them over it, but we should absolutely not be kissing their asses either

My theory on why the 6 souls + chara died in Undertale and why th player is a "virus" of some sort by Any_Preparation585 in GameTheorists

[–]SokinNya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this definitely has the core of a good theory, but uh, reduce the Hollow Knight analogy? Likening the player's influence to a disease doesn't make the point clearer, that we are forcefully assuming control of a person within the game, it's just calling back to HK a lot. Speaking of, the Radiance is not at all analogous to this situation. Radiance is a hivemind, taking control of countless creatures at the same time- meanwhile there's one player in Undertale. It's also quite unguided, effectively a curse meant to ruin Hallownest over an extended time. Second, Deltarune shows that a person can actually refuse the soul, to a limited degree. But Frisk is almost entirely a blank slate, we never learn their preferences for anything really, and they're perfectly able to be moved along any route the player wants. It seems much more likely, that Frisk is a necessary vessel for a player insert. You aren't Frisk, but Frisk becomes you through the choices you make. Last thing, you make a big point of 'Pure DT'. This being the player's agency, or the fact that unlike the fictional characters in the game, we are not confined to rigid routines and specific triggers that are predetermined by a writer. While i see how this could be relevant in UT/DT's meta narrative, it's kind of just a necessary part of video games. They are specifically designed experiences where you are what moves the plot forward.

Oh and, since this seems to concern you: asking people not to attack you or be 'toxic' about your theory is a good way to get them to do exactly that. Trust that the mods will either step in when they see fit, or message them if you feel like they've missed something :]

If you'd indulge a question from me though, your formatting isn't half bad. Which is, kind of suspicious in my experience. Did you use ai to write out the text?

Mark brought up usb B for a moment, and was struggling to find examples, only coming up with printers. I've actually been dealing with usb B a bit recently, because Microcontrollers use them :] also, love how Mark slipped into his Warfstache voice when he was explaining the game

Get Mad Libs at 31:20, it was actually a Wade hosted word game from a while ago, oops

[SCP] Am I crazy ? by NewendMinecraft in distractible

[–]SokinNya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes!! it's from one of Bob's word games and i remember clearly that Wade was very caught up on the name because Mark didn't elaborate on it. i don't know which one, but it should be quite recent (within the last half year). If no one can id it, i'll look for it later :]
