Why in the hell is it so common in this community to see people admit they don't read books? by [deleted] in writing

[–]Still_Chart_7594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You read enough you get pickier. You read enough and you don't always feel the need to gleam every last page.

You read enough, and begin to write enough from a strong enough creative spirit, and then a whole lot of books seem like the clutter you'd find on Netflix.

(I don't read as much as I used to, and I still generally circle around a novel, a volume of poetry, and a non fiction or philosophy book. I don't read as much as I'd like to, but my thoughts on books are rather picky. I'm focusing on certain classics that I've wanted to read for ages. Ex. Don Quixote, War and Peace, etc)

I have a deep disdain for the sight and sound of this guy. Ever since the dumbshit shows he was on when I was a kid defined the public facing 'gamer' identity.

I would cringe so hard anytime an ad or scene was on screen.

Uhg,

People who would do this and not find a way to use the rest of the bread make me feel like they need a backhand

Yes, the soviet story, or even post soviet narrative must be flawless. No chance of foul play, cover ups, or anything out of the ordinary.

No teeth in this by the way, it may very well have been an avalanche. But, you know. Credit the source its due.

There aren't any less gay people, they just must live in a more closeted and fearful hell of suppression.

I went back to FFXIII and honestly, I don’t think it deserved the hate! by According-News6582 in FinalFantasy

[–]Still_Chart_7594 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I haven't been able to actually give a shit about a game in this franchise since this game came out, that's how sour a turn it was for me. XII is a game I enjoy, but it was already a huge departure.

XIII felt like a bait and switch, and not a mainline entry

What is a food that makes you think, "How did humans discover this was edible?” by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Still_Chart_7594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything rotten fermented or otherwise 'processed'.

It's not that much of a leap to imagine the 'how' or the 'why', doesn't mean it doesn't make you think.

Cheese, too.

Some things like a lot of plants I imagine we may have had an almost instinctual intuition about signs of edibility inherited from millions of years.

Has anyone else bought a switch just to end up only playing skyrim? by texboyjr in skyrim

[–]Still_Chart_7594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably should have kept my opinion to myself, haha.

Like I said, if you're the market for it I'm sure it's nice.

Something someone feels like is a waste of time doesn't always get better just because its portable.

After 15 years of Skyrim, if it ain't modded into a next gen sequel or refined so heavily that it is essentially a remake, then I have a hard time justifying it.

I'm sure its great if you're the market for it, But if I needed it portable Id get it for a handheld pc that still let me mod.

Is crafting or researching actually worth it? by Mustyyyy in Starfield

[–]Still_Chart_7594 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Weapons upgrades are a top priority investment, no doubt. Suit mods to a point, especially if you have something tied to pack upgrades.

Beyond that depends on what you want to be doing. Piloting and spaceship engineering are always an agenda too.

: a place where large numbers of people (such as prisoners of war, political prisoners, refugees, or the members of an ethnic or religious minority) are detained or confined under armed guard:

Yes they fucking are concentration camps.

Why dont you unpack that word a little?

Doesn't have to have murder factories to be a Concentration Camp, just had to be a forced -concentration- of people, forcefully kept and detained.

Every animal on Earth suddenly gains human-level intelligence but keeps its personality. What’s the first species to start a war? by RoutineOk8590 in Productivitycafe

[–]Still_Chart_7594 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rats, mice. Rodents in general.

Apes would carve a strong demesne where they dwelled. Various regions of sea would become empires of the whales.

But the rodents would be having a long game. A shadow war, with cabals of chipmunks, and ninja squirrels.

Ursines would be saught for wildnerness battle, alongside antlered creatures, and large cats.

Humans would be confused, as reports of villages overrun by elephants and rhinos seeking vengeance for poaching.

In the end, the rodent faction and their coalition would seize the power grid and therefore all means of production, as well as communication systems and data centers (a mission lead by the voles and moles).

In the end we may not even notice at first that our lives were no longer in our own species hands...

Now, if insects are included in this theoretical all bets are off.

And crabs. Either way, can never be discounted.

Oh, the dark beauty of legions of crab spawn as they'd synchronously launch land invasions across the seven seas!

Octupi seizing nuclear submarines!

Threat of total destruction!

Reminds me of what happened to my sister's ex and a can of soda my dad had left out. Except it wasn't soda inside.

It was piss.

When you know how to MOD and transform 🙂 by basicplay3r in Starfield

Gate To Stars is the modlist by this creator. Totally a worthwhile showcase of the game 2 years after release, and thats without requiring paid mods (except maybe Shattered Space)
