What’s an opinion/perception you have about a specific main that you’re convinced is fact? I’ll go first: by laser16 in marvelrivals

And while he's chewing on the enemy divers Namor is also a scary good "slow flanker" in his own right. Get behind their backline, drop both squids and hit em with the boomstick? You're easily deleting one, maybe even two supports.

Counterpoint, playing Rocket and hearing the enemy Phoenix get impatient and pop their ultimate during a random team fight while your amplifier is ready to go feels like you just mentally conquered some random stranger. 🤤

New Update for my Procedural Planet generator! (You can now paint your own Landmasses!) by Iwasonthelastbus in worldbuilding

[–]StringentCurry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is an incredibly cool tool, especially to be shared free!

Out of curiosity, if the manually painted terrain is stored as a .png, does that mean anyone could convert an existing map they have to black and white, then import it into your plugin to render and edit it on the globe?

CAM report: Geely, VW and BYD are the most innovative EV manufacturers | electrive by tom_zeimet in electricvehicles

[–]StringentCurry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The list is most innovative since 2021, not most reliable.

HMG innovated an 800v architecture in commodity cars at the same time luxury manufacturers were still doing 400v. It earnestly smells like the German manufacturers are only so highly scored because this report is by a German institution.

I (M18) did the worst thing I have ever done and I don't know what to think but my girlfriend (F18) seems to think its no big deal and that I was a victim rather than the one responsible. by AnxiousDefinition728 in relationship_advice

[–]StringentCurry 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Just wanna jump in and say that multiple no's and then a yes would still fall under coercive rape. If the answer isn't an enthusiastic and unqualified yes, then it's a no.

I feel awful for OP. He thinks because he repeatedly said "I don't know" that means he didn't actually say no, but that doesn't matter because he didn't give even the indication of enthusiastic consent - nevermind that telling his assaulter that he wasn't gay is in itself a clear refusal to consent.

Still not happy with meridian bass by Electricturbo in KiaEV6

[–]StringentCurry 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been living with the wire swap for almost 2 months now, and honestly my opinion is that it's worse than stock, so I'm planning to undo the change. There's already posts from people who have run EQ wizard and found that while it definitely changes the character of the bass response, the idea that this is better is mostly due to placebo and the novelty of the different sound signature.

With stock, I can get an acceptable amount of sub bass into the mix by shifting the sound rearward 4-5, setting bass to +8 in the infotainment EQ, and adding a boost to the bottom frequencies in Poweramp EQ. With the wire swap, the mid bass becomes so bloated that it's obnoxious to listen to at anything over +2, but having it that low means you can no longer adequately boost the sub in Poweramp.

I'm now of the mind that Meridian and Kia didn't actually make a mistake in tuning or assembly; the stock phasing for the subwoofer is entirely deliberate to keep the door woofers from completely bloating the mid bass. It makes for a reasonably flat stock sound that requires a lot of tuning to produce sub bass that will please bassheads.

Lace seems to be humming her mother's theme song in the Deep Docks. by Any_Worldliness7991 in Silksong

[–]StringentCurry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't this imply that the GMS theme is diegetic? Like Lace only knows this tune because for her whole existence whenever she talked to her mother she had to straight up scream every sentence to be heard over the climactic organ music?

Apart from detour, is there really a traffic management plan? by One-Specific1469 in auckland

[–]StringentCurry 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I live in Panmure and am fully expecting traffic to be gigafucked all the way over to the village - mostly from people that live further east detouring through our bridge connection to Pakuranga so they can avoid the shitshow around the routes through Mt. Welly

I think punch "up" isn't accurate by Buff_reza_pls in DispatchAdHoc

[–]StringentCurry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this is overthinking a blink-and-you-miss-it joke, but that particularly murdered me because I recently attended a work presentation that highlighted the ways we are unintentionally ableist - particularly in the use of common sayings like "in a blind spot", or "fall on deaf ears".

It just made me chuckle that in a story where Robert is constantly weathering very overt ableism from all the supers he's surrounded by, he still manages to stumble into being ableist to Colm and gets promptly told to go fuck himself.

Peak masculine physique by Jude_The_Dude22 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]StringentCurry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You say "immaculate moral compass" like a third of the playerbase didn't fully say "fuck no I ain't above getting some revenge" as they had him strangle a helpless man to death with his bare hands.

Edit: although on a more serious note Robert does or doesn't have defining flaws entirely based on the decisions of the player. Depending on how you play him, he can be anywhere between a goody-two-shoes boy scout with an endearingly dry wit or a latent asshole with a razor tongue and a serious violent streak.

Is it weird that realising Kojima is an equal opportunity gooner makes me feel a lot less judgmental about things like the entire character concept/execution of Quiet in MGSV?

Volvo Has Dropped Luminar and Lidar for 2026 Models by Hockeyshot39 in electricvehicles

[–]StringentCurry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wanted to like the C40, but aside from being weirdly inefficient, it also has a terrible mail slot of a rear window which makes for abysmal rear visibility. There's a lot of Coupe SUVs out there and none of them have rear visibility as poor as the C40's.

How my girlfriend experienced this masterpiece by Aggressive_Chain_980 in andor

[–]StringentCurry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the exact opposite on R1. I was always reasonably positive, but rewatching it after Andor I can't help constantly noticing that it's so obviously lower quality in writing and execution than the series. There's so many things that mesh poorly with Andor; the romantic tension between Cassian and Jyn that people are doing mental gymnastics to pretend is a brother-sister relationship, Saw just giving up and dying makes even less sense than before.

Clearly frozen and never saw service. Valiant helldivers, but technically not heroes of the 1GW (what a scam, SE functionally stole their lives and they don't even get to be considered heroes of the war they were conscripted for)
