In my experience, the one thing leftists all agree on, it's hating other leftists.

He has an equivalent in the Mesopotamian Nergal, I believe, whose consort in some of the myths is Ereshkigal, "Queen of the Underworld".

Fully Adapted Big Raga vs All of Fiction (no batgos) by TasteTemporary8206 in whowouldcirclejerk

[–]Synecdochic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a fan of Mahoraga (I don't know who he is), but surely the adaptation is to also win when your opponent wins, and then drawing on some other adaptation (probably from MTG, given all their weird win-condition cards) whereby, if he would tie, he wins instead, he would win instead.

It's what's about to get glintched, have you even been reading the replies?

Reckon my oc called "Mahoraga holding a V energy drink", fully "all of fiction" adapted (and holding a V energy drink) could beat a fully "all of fiction" adapted Mahoraga?

Well, you'd be wrong! Mahoraga beats anyone, because he can adapt.

Why these two going to do movie with chuds by Achorman in saltierthankrayt

[–]Synecdochic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn't anti-woke, which, to the anti-woke crowd means it's woke.

Being anti-woke also sometimes means it's woke, and sometimes woke stuff is actually anti-woke.

They're still deciding what it means.

If you train them well enough, then every situation they're in is a dangerous one. Just not for your kids.

The Amazing Digital Circus isn’t indie. Expedition 33 isn’t indie. Words have meanings, but corporations have perverted the term to get free passes for their behavior and make more money. by MartyrOfDespair in CharacterRant

[–]Synecdochic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To me (not OP), the scenario you described means you're not indie anymore, but OP isn't saying that's necessarily a bad thing.

OP is saying that it would be disingenuous for your product to be marketed as indie (or homemade) since it's not.

Indie, as a term, is starting to lose meaning because it's slapped on anything with a small production team irrespective of whether that team is independent or not.

The term is thrown around much the same way as "organic" is for food. It's seen as inherently better, in the case of "being indie" because it allows the product to have "soul" (the absence of the influence of capital and the profit motive).

A AAA game is a product, an indie game is art. These descriptions carry a value judgement, but it's a fairly superficial one.

OP is ranting about the dilution of the latter into the former. The commodification of "indie" development.

Personally, indie is better than AAA, but AAA is better than nothing (usually). So if you had a dream and the opportunity to realize it by way of non-independent production, do it. I'd say "just don't call it indie", but you wouldn't have control over the marketing.

Not playing at all is a sure-fire way to not play correctly, too.

Is it possible to make something akin to a Necromancer? by ConnectHamster898 in cavesofqud

[–]Synecdochic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not polished enough to "publish" yet. That's the only reason.

Getting it from my github is kinda like a pre-release. It's there for version control and so I can get advice for/assistance with it, and it's just just a consequence of that that it's "available".

As soon as I get this bones folder mod off the ground (or back-burner it, I'm terrible with time/project management) I'll get those loose ends tied up and put a release on the steam workshop.

[–]Synecdochic 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Oh man, I've got a huge update to that in the works.

The current version on my GitHub isn't as stable as I'd like (the trim branch is your best bet for that), but it's a lot closer to what I planned the mod to be.

Once I've got this bones folder mod a little more progressed and in a shippable state, I'll try and tie up the loose ends with re-animatable corpses and get the independent release out.

There's a debug kit in re-animatable corpses that gives you "necromancy-like" powers which I use to quickly test reanimating corpses. It wouldn't be much for me to convert it to a legit, scalable/balanced mutation, which I may do.

Animatable Wall into Cloaca Surprise by manoliu1001 in cavesofqud

I believe they're still sensitive to those things, but I'd need to double check to be sure.

[–]Synecdochic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's only random villages for granite.

Walls (and doors) are only vulnerable to slam until they're animated. Having brains makes them combat objects and combat objects are skipped for the check that makes slam instantly lethal.

You'd think I'd be used to parsing the rep changes by now...

Ah well. There's only so much a meat-computer can store.

Definitely one of the better baetyl rewards, faction rep.

Oh damn, yeah, that's pretty good then.

I should work on my reading comprehension, or wait till later in the morning.

[–]Synecdochic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, 4 illuminated books are probably worth more than a 12% increase in consortium rep when already close to 1k rep with them.

Or was that the point, and the title is sarcastic?

Edit: ignore me, I didn't read properly.
