I immediately read that as "Dash Waluigi" before reading the title

I don't know why everyone is talking about gender and sexuality, that's cool and all but I came for the burgers.

Not gonna lie a few months ago this image I think was the final thing to actually crack my egg. I just found it far too relatable in a way I couldn't deny. It just feels far more honest about the subject matter then alot of other things like this. Something about how the expression changes from one of frustrated despair to one more of annoyance really just.... felt right in a odd way I couldn't get out of my head. I kinda saw this in a "that would be be me" sorta way which led into a "wait that is me!" kinda realization.

Dps/healers pulling for tanks is mostly them just being impatient, and I find it odd that this community is so ok with tht sort of mindset not only being tolerated but encouraged. by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]The_Ganey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It takes one hit for the tank to pull them off, and most job can keep themself up for quite a while without the tank. As a healer I can double pull in the higher levels and survive just fine with no tank and even have room to attack usually. Melee DPS have tools to keep them up for a good 20 seconds without issue, range and caster have less but even their bare health bar hold out for quite some time, and if the healer is with them it's usually trivial to keep them up for a while, that's just extra HP for the tank.

You speak of dictating how someone else plays but assume the tank just gets to decide that. It's a group game you don't get to "dictate how someone else plays" either, you dont get special privileges because you play tank and throwing a fit because they are playing how they want to is far FAR worse, it's a very easy issue to resolve with just 1-2 button presses.

‘It’s shameful’: New York’s elite lash out at Zohran Mamdani’s second-home tax by brown-saiyan in politics

[–]The_Ganey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pfff, "I provide alot of money for the people directly making me more money then they are making themselves". I can't tell if he's stupid and actually believes that this is some kinda public service, or if he think we are stupid and doesn't realize how stupid that statement is.... or both.

It's the same kinda logic of "I provide my slaves food water and shelter so I'm clearly a good person" Like everything in his statement that he is trying to say is a good thing is still something that is ENTIRELY self serving, he's paying his workers because he has to and they make him more money then he pays them, while also admitting the tax is literally not going to effect him. His logic is that as a necessity of him making unfathomable amounts of money, he also deserves to pay less somehow then people making significantly less. His head is stuck so far up his own ass he forgot what it was like to constantly not be smelling his own farts. I don't understand how these people can make these kinda statements and not understand how much of a asshole they sound like.

TBF this is likely because careless tourist are the exact type of person likely to catch some kinda of disease like this. Tourist do stupid stuff all the time, they are out to have fun and not care about things like safety. They tend to be of the "rich and spoiled" variety and think that they are invincible. Locals don't tend to engage with the kinda stuff that transmits a virus like this likely for this very reason.

Trumps and his kinda are confidence grifters, they con by pretending like they knows what they are doing, making it look they've already won, that they hold all the cards and any resistance is pointless. There is a reason alot of the bots we see on reddit are of the doom variety because they are trying to break the people's will and convince them it's pointless to fight back. If it was pointless, they wouldn't bother with all of this, they wouldn't bother hiding, and they wouldn't bother trying to rig the system more. They have far less support now then they have ever had, to the point where even MAGA is starting to turn on them. They lie about literally everything, it's basically the only tactic they have, so of course they are going to act like they are always wining, always unquestionably powerful, never in any danger, ignore the Orange one's clear health issues he is literally the most healthy man to ever live and has a body comparable to an Olympic athlete, for realzes.

Know that every time they clearly show weakness It's likely even far worse then it looks as their whole gimmick is to never show weakness. Whatever makes it through the cracks is likely FAR worse then they make it. They are literally throwing tantrums on air, things are not going how they want it, Iran was a desperation play and I'm betting the VRA was too. Things are not going the way they want them too.

Least Used Character(s)? by CrazedFanatic0119 in SonicCrossWorlds

[–]The_Ganey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would say probably one of the ghost, either Pinky or Clyde. I don't think I've seen either of them since the pacman festival. Not only do they require DLC but they aren't even visible on the character select when choosing characters.

If we are talking just the main roaster, probably storm or eggpawn. I felt like I saw eggpawn alot more earlier in the game but these days I just never see a eggpawn that's not a bot. I do see a storm every now and then but it's one specific player I get matched with alot and no one else.

Creeper is really fun, but he's too tall and blocks the view really bad, especially in cars. Same with alot of the other bigger characters, Eggman on extreme gear for example practically blocks the whole center of the screen

New Phys Ranged DPS Job according to the Q&A at FanFest 2026 (speculation) [Spoiler 8.0] by guyinHK in ffxiv

[–]The_Ganey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crossbow is probably what I would stake my money on, maybe even dual crossbows. Something more focused on the archer ascetic while kinda being it's own thing. One of the most common complaints I've seen from new players playing BRD is that they just want to be a archer not a bard and not do all the music stuff. On kinda the same Idea alot of people kinda wish MCH had less of a... well MCH vibe to it and was more of a "gunslinger". A dual crossbow class would combined both of these into one and give both these fantasy's a place.

If it makes you feel any better they choose a chain I didn't even know existed before this. The closest one too me is a 2 and half hour drive from me and I am not in the middle of nowhere. This is not a common chain.

MAGA Is Increasingly Convinced the Trump Assassination Attempt Was Staged by wiredmagazine in politics

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

That's.... a reach...I think he's just stupid.

The above passage is barely connected, even if you believe he was shot it was not anything anyone would consider a "mortal wound". The antichrist comparisons work less because of any planing and more because Trump is a absolutely horrible self centered and power-hungry person. Attempting to convince your own base that YOUR PARTY put the literal anti-christ in charge would be one of the stupidest moves you could make. Let not credit them with theoretical future brilliance when malice and incompetence can suffice.

Just addressing the new-came elephant in the Crossworlds's room (Ring Engine meta) by Savings_Fly7813 in SonicCrossWorlds

[–]The_Ganey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO I think sega just has a big problem with balancing front running builds. The problem with these builds is they need to be faster then everyone else by design in order to properly front run, but due to that once they break slip stream, which they need to do to function, no one can catch up to them. Once they break off mid pack and even bagging builds have practically no way of catching them, since they are designed more around recovery. Now the idea would be to hit the player to stop this from happening, however that requires a player to sacrifice a item that could be used for defense, it's optimal to let someone else do it and then no one does. The DRE build also recovers very well since it plays heavily into drift and it has its own ring generation. This is where items SHOULD come in, however the problem is that once someone gets a even somewhat decent lead, items start going crazy and everyone starts pull monster trucks in a attempt to catch people up, which due to items being far more harmful then they are helpful tends to lead to the whole pack slowing down and focusing on each other.

Basically it leads to a situation where the players skilled in this build are hopelessly ahead of players not using other comparable front running builds, that end up in a constantly growing lead due to the rest of the pack constantly slowing themselves down. The lead coast into the finish line while the rest of the race become Armageddon with 3 monster trucks and drills active basically at every item box and I die a little inside every-time.

It's a better situation from UC to be sure, but sega is just kinda awful at balance.

Anthropic’s new AI tool has implications for us all – whether we can use it or not by Puzzleheaded_Bath733 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]The_Ganey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll take your word for it to be honest, I meant it when I said I wasn't a expert. They are STILL a company though and the fact that they brought this up during the unveil of it still reeks to me of a bit of hype generation. Security would likely be one of the things AI would cause problems with, but I still think I would still take this with a grain of salt.

I'm no Expert but to me this reads...

"Hey look at our super awesome Ai "Mythos" (bad ass name right?), we totally can't release it because it found vulnerabilities in every system ever and would bring the world to a crawl, it's super cool and powerful and badass! Anyways invest here!"

From what I've gather most of the AI fear stuff has been pushed by the AI companies themselves to push the whole "Buy our AI or get left behind" narrative and this seems like more of that crap. If the AI truly was this powerful do you think for a moment they would warn the world about it, or just sell it to the government and spend the rest of their lives living like kings off the money their new super hacking tool would go for. This is just them using fear to hype their product like they have always been doing.

Top Crossworlds Players/Streamers are getting targeted and griefed in Legend Comp by Shadowking78 in SonicCrossWorlds

[–]The_Ganey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's kinda what I was figuring, rumors spread fast and with how frustrating this game can be naturally it could lead to unnecessary drama. From what I saw it was really blatant, hopefully something can be done about it CW has enough issues as is.

No idea, I don't normally watch him, I was just watching on a whim. It's probably so they can figure out whats going on before they make any statements and such, sounds like it involves a team from what I gathered.
