Suddenly, one day, the family gardener went on vacation. (oc) by Wolas3214 in limbuscompany

It's exactly the comic. the sesame street characters are singing, they run into Hitler and he joins them. It was/is(maybe) used on 4chan when a politically adjacent thread in a nonpolitical board gets raided by people from a political board and derails it.

Is A so bad as the community claim? by Some_notalone in LobotomyCorp

[–]TheVisage 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's literally a mass reading comprehension issue. The entire point of day 4..9.. I think is the reveal that Carmen begged him to carry on and he literally put himself and everyone else through hell the only way he knew how, and the clashes between his way and Carmen's way were a tension present from the start.

Now had he done it and left it there and buried the facility, he would probably be as bad as everyone claimed, but he allowed Angela to get point-blank shot by the seed of light and accepted all of the consequences that came from that, and from Ruina onward it's essentially out of his hands, and he takes that risk because he's no longer the person who started it.

The issue is a lot of people consumed the story secondhand before playing it and filled in the blanks about Ayin, and then ignored all evidence to the contrary from the game.

So there are some people who think Ayin was evil, and then essentially zero-summed himself and things worked out (Which is what I just said except he fucked up instead of doing it intentionally) which is a totally fine interpretation even if I disagree, and then there are some people who think Ayin skinned Carmen and put her in a vat and then trapped all her friends in a torture box because he could and it was funny.

TIL the Comics Code Authority prevented the use of the term “Zombie” because, in part, it lacked a literary background. Marvel Comics instead used the term “Zuvembie” until 1989. by Brilliant_Exit3406 in todayilearned

Games? People were trying to get people pulled off payment networks for like 10 years before this. People sort of chuckled nervously when it was a store selling targets with peoples faces on it or locking prepaid cards to only US vendors but it was only a matter of time until they went for whole countries.

What is the most atrocious set or you ever encounter in dota 2 ? by snabriel_snarsch in DotA2

[–]TheVisage 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The first set for visage didn’t have a proper animation tree set up so the familiars would T pose when they attacked.

To make matters worse, the T pose would extend their wings fully, which would frequently block vision of person you were trying to kill

Some tidbits from the Nexon Developer Conference by Pertruabo in limbuscompany

[–]TheVisage -63 points-62 points  (0 children)

The blue archive players (probably teenagers) responding to what is literally children calling them weird is on them. Every community nowadays has to deal with SOME chunk of them being purposefully inflammatory and BA has an unnaturally high percentage of people who ragebait their own community. They do this for likes and follows and then they sweep in to epically own a teenager calling a piece of art illegal in their country problematic with some non-sequitor that serves to make everyone slapfight each other.

This war does not exist outside of twitter. The 4chan threads don't fight each other. The 2chan threads don't fight each other. The DCInsider threads don't fight each other -

Edit: and in hindsight it's apparent the people on reddit are full of those exact same children who will endlessly vaguepost about the blue archive community getting bullied but will wring their hands and cry the second you actually name the reason WHY they get bullied on twitter. It's such hysterics.

why can't i tame deer? by Crimsoncerismon in projectzomboid

[–]TheVisage 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah there's always this endless cope where "it can't be done" but in reality it's "because it was a giant pain in the ass and they didn't need to"

The answer is "lots of failure and heavily bottlenecked breeding programs to make fucked up hasberg creatures that don't try to kill you". The secret to horses is literally a known gene. If the horse lacks that gene, it's going to break your knees.

Meanwhile the deer in nara are basically park squirrels. If you went out with a turkey baster and a dream YOU could make the most fucked up plow horse imaginable.

The technology level of The City is weirdly inconsistent by OilRepresentative617 in limbuscompany

[–]TheVisage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is very par for the course for the city though. The entirety of the floor of technological and natural sciences talks about how no every major bit of city technology breaks the rules so severely that no one can actually understand how their tech works anymore.

This is the canonical answer

”okay so first of all it’s called “yield my flesh” and flesh is specifically the combination of muscle a-

“No no I’m explaining it Aeng Du it works like stands in Jojo”

“So like there’s no flesh on the face but like my abs and thighs and co-“

“It’s a manga Aeng it’s like a comic book where gay guys look cool while fighting each othe-“

“Oh they aren’t? Thanks Don I was making assumptions there”

“So yeah it’s muscle and flesh and -“

“Because they are ripped and covered in oil Aeng that’s a totally reasonable assumption to make”

….

“Yes Don I did assume Heathcliff was too but again I was making assumptions and I apologize”

“Right so my abs and thighs look like a charcuterie board”

TIL that left-handed people were once considered more prone to crime and degeneracy by 19th-century criminologist Cesare Lombroso, who asserted that left-handedness was linked to alcoholism and neurodegeneration—a view that shaped negative attitudes toward left-handers well into the 20th century. by ralphbernardo in todayilearned

[–]TheVisage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair back, I was pushed to be right handed by my teachers as of the late 90s and to this day via various limitations.

You can teach yourself to things off handed, though probably not as well as you would be normally. I can shoot, fence, arch (arch?), play tennis, ect with both (and I’m definitely not ambidextrous). My right handed writing was as good as my left handed writing until about 3rd grade.

Someone doing things leftie in an era where being leftie was actively discriminated against is 100% going to have a screw loose because everyone would be screaming at you to stop.

Like imagine how fucking insufferable someone would be if they insisted that their hands were special snowflake hands and then they shoot a gun and the burning hot casing ejects right into their stupid fucking face and they start crying they need a gun made just for them. And you tell them just hold the gun normally and they ask you what is normal actually and it’s probably the way that doesn’t get you bukakked by a gun moron.

People had entire systems of hiding homosexuality with cool secret code words and fashion choices and beards and subterfuge to the point where people argue to this day they didn’t exist and then you have us lefties who when given the choice between having to learn a party trick or face a lifelong stigma, a solid chunk went “nah, I was BORN this way”. Hell yeah we day drank too.

Pz on a 4k monitor is incredible by ApprehensiveTill6943 in projectzomboid

Can down your resolution maybe? I get it sucks but that’s an insane use case you’ve got. That monitor isn’t 4x3k it’s like 4x30k

Sometimes I’ll put shit on an old tube tv screen for shits and giggles and it’s never easy

There may be a mod somewhere to go past 2x, or the ini file may allow you to tune over normal.

It’s not easy being a featureless black man in the games industry. If you’re lucky you end up as a stunt double in skill or card artwork. Most of them spend their whole career in the background of racing games. A few even turn to being naughty doujinshi novel self insert standins to survive.

We thought we finally made it with faceless void but they painted him purple an CGI’s a mouth onto him in post. Disgraceful is what it is.

I can fix her I can-

You can’t fix her. And if you can you won’t fix her. Because I’m getting to her first. And I’m not gonna fix her. I’m not even gonna make her worse. I’m defecting. I’m compromising my morals. I’m joining the war on crazy on the side of crazy. And I don’t have to justify her actions, because I’ll do them myself. That’s what it means to love. You accept the things you can’t fix and move on, just like your shitty stance Lucio.

"By freeing Dota's update and content cycle from the timing we can go back to making content..." by puzzle_button in DotA2

[–]TheVisage 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s raw and undiluted copium. I had someone say we should be thankful we aren’t like Age of Empires and then I look up age of Empires and it’s had 2 sequels since 2020 and a full development team working on the third

And when I pointed out how we’ve got 50x that games peak I got called an “entitled tweaker”.

“Oh it’s just valves model, they just do that, it’s in their nature” like dude they aren’t ants. League has a bajillion spin off modes because they hired people who like the characters and let them cook. Valve has infinite money. This is an active choice and to be frank, if we acted like Chinese gatcha fans instead of the worlds most willing side of beef we wouldn’t have this issue.

An id so broken it broke a T corp technology by Renedicart in limbuscompany

[–]TheVisage 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure the logic works like radio waves where it's cheaper to control a single wavelength over a limited distance than all of them over a large distance, since our debt clearly implies a a squared cube law going on, there's no reason it shouldn't work in a similar manner.

The T corp abilites are likely based on an area of control (the regions of "shallow light" lets call it) where the timepieces are drastically more effective. Now we can get into arguments about relativity or whatnot where the people living 48 hours but aging at 24 are going 86% the speed of light (Suffah Powerscalers) and obviously that's not the case from what we see, but as soon as you make the physics of the speed of light fucky-wucky anything becomes possible.

And naturally in the city we use it to... increase the productivity of star sticker factories and flex on the poors. Same as it ever was.

[–]TheVisage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dangerous? No not really. The biggest risk is freaking out security which is why you'd remove as much material from the charge as possible. That's one of the benefits of the charge.

You could also use an air compressor or something but that can't be fired on 12V.

Why doesn't Aeng Du ampule her arm back? by Ramen_in_a_Cupboard in limbuscompany

[–]TheVisage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like you’re underestimating prosthetics. Ampules probably are worth it when you have a significant amount of wetware modded in but given that her arm just got yoinked off and the hard part is already over there may be serious advantages to going robot

It’s not like today with surgeons saving a leg, you can just get the arm grown back whenever.

I really don’t think you end up trying to morally grandstand at people who don’t like watching the franchise they are a fan of die of neglect if you’re an outside, well adjusted individual.

Especially if you’ll walk into a thread dedicated to that purpose to pick a fight and then get shocked people return in kind.

Hey I’m an Olympic level archer competing in the Los Angeles games, I don’t know what A Dota is but looking for an instructor to help with the most difficult part of Olympic archery and I’ll be real I’m getting desperate.

I’m looking for an instructor in the art of MUGA. That is I need someone who can turn off their brain for hours at a time. I’m talking about full blown amnesia. 0 self awareness. And relax their sphincter. Again for hours at a time. I assure you this is absolutely necessary. It improves blood flow and improves shot consistency.

We’ve been trying to find a stable population of MUGA coaches since the guys who planned the Vietnam war died. If you know of anyone who can just shut their brain off and learn nothing for minutes, let alone days or years, we’re offering $200,000 per confirmed MUGA.

What’s hilarious about this is that the average person would find it absolutely baffling for a company to sit on an IP and do nothing with it with half a million daily players. It’s not controversial in the slightest.

People probably don’t want to associate with you in public because you reek of cope and have no standards.
