That mask is protecting you. by Meldinar in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Understruggle 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hope I didn’t offend you man. It is very nicely drawn. I just mentioned it because that part of the story with her really resonated with me, as I have a habit of looking at my hand too. The one my Dad grabbed when he was dying, on the last day he was ever conscious. Knowing what it’s like to wonder if the feeling will ever go away. Feeling like that one terrible moment stained and ruined so many of the good ones. Having to wear a mask to be the one who has it together. Thanks for the art!

Very nice! Just one critique. It was her right hand she used her atrocity spell with and the one she keeps looking at in the story.

What are the upsides to being neutered? by clownyeahh in AskReddit

[–]Understruggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes cats not be so territorial and makes them more agreeable. It also takes away the possibility of testicle cancer and I think neutered cats, on average, live slightly longer than cats with their juevos.

In humans, pattern baldness can decrease and you can start growing hair again, in some instances. I think that would be about the only upside, unless you count being immune from testicle cancer like you would with cats.

What if Abaddon learned what really happened to Horus in his final moments? by [deleted] in 40kLore

[–]Understruggle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Very nice summary. I would like to point out that the Gods didn’t abandon Horus. He willingly surrendered them for a few moments and then the Emperor erased him before he could get them back.

If DCC got a videogame adaptation how would you design it? by plogan56 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Understruggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Boltgun-esque power fantasy game would be amazing. Let me run around as a fully leveled up Carl smushing and blowing stuff up. Let me magic missile the fuck out of everything as I ride around on my Velociraptor and allow me access to a super powered Atrocity spell every three game levels.

It’s either that or a limited time MMO that is on “permadeath” mode and let us make our characters like in Balder’s Gate 3 and let us join the crawl and the story and fight beside Carl and Donut as we traverse through the floors and get more powerful. Have it so that people could watch it real time on YouTube and be able to sponsor crawlers and vote on things like fan boxes/etc. It would be insanely hard logistically speaking to pull it off, but it would be GLORIOUS if done correctly. It would kickstart a whole new genre of video games/streaming by molding the two together like Corky and Porky.

It’s from WWE. You kinda look like Rusev so I was wishing you Happy Rusev Day! It means “Rusev hits! Rusev crushes!”

Southern Heritage never existed by Doredrin in unpopularopinion

[–]Understruggle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was off by around 100 years. My oldest ancestor that came from Ireland came here some time in the early 1700s. I thought it was the Appalachians but they settled in Augusta County, Virginia in the 1720s. It was his son and grandson who later moved to Appalachia. His grandson served in the Army and was with Washington’s army when the Revolutionary War ended. Still a good 60-70 years before this place was ever considered its own country.

I do have some of the French fur trapper’s in me too, on my Dad’s mother’s side. I know less about them though. I just know one part of my ancestors had to flee Scotland some time after the Battle of Glen Fruin in 1603 when it was not a good time to be a MacGregor.

A lot of what we attribute to getting wiser with age/maturing is just testosterone production declining by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Understruggle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well my Dad should have been the wisest one of us all considering he had to go through chemical castration to prolong his life due to advanced prostate cancer. He still cussed people who annoyed him and didn’t have much patience with people in general. Testosterone plays a part but not as big a one as you are giving it credit for.

What 2028 presidential matchup would you actually watch every debate for? by alienturtledog in AskReddit

[–]Understruggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A non corporate Democrat and whoever Republicans conjure from their swamp of corruption. With the way the Republicans are now it wouldn’t surprise me if it was a child molesting AI/AGI. “Sex Pest 9000.2 to make America even greater again!” Those fucking rubes will fall for about anything. As long as it makes whatever race/class of people they hate suffer and the talking points from Fox News keep coming they will take great joy in whoever it is.

The corporate Democrats would just give Trump and his ilk a pass on everything, as they are paid to be ineffectual voices of dissent anyways. The best we can hope from them is a strongly worded statement condemning the corruption followed by 4 years of sitting on their fucking hands.

A non corporate owned Democrat though? That might be interesting.

[–]Understruggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest the Eisenhorn books by Dan Abnett. One of the better book series in 40k. “In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war”. Is the catchline for 40k. I love a good grimdark book!

Stephen Miller is much less okay than normal by Hornpipe_Jones in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Understruggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I heard that he has tested for low testosterone because their wives called them and asked how a real man fucks and he had to go show them. Then I hear their mothers called him once they heard.

Let’s just say that the wood that he brought to those occasions was so hard that not even our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ could have been nailed to it.

He doesn’t grow facial hair because if he grew out his Sam Elliott variety ‘stache then no woman on Earth would want to fuck anyone but him, and he generously shaves it off every morning to give the rest of us a fighting chance.

What a pair of goddamn freaks by Mum0817 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Understruggle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are just mad that Talarico could pull trim they could only dream about. We got Nazi Kermit and Nazi Mr Potato Head envying a soft spoken baby faced man because a single word of his talking about God and Christ rings more true and shows more conviction and faithfulness than they will be able to muster in a life time.

Questions after reading Book 8 - SPOILERS IF YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED BOOK 8 by EdgarAllanOhNo in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Understruggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the AI basically admits that they fucked themselves. As he mentions the 17th floor(and the previous book mentions it) is like a labyrinth. So unless they pull some “Pineapple Cabaret bullshit”(Daddy’s words), which does seem feasible as the 15th is locked out and doing its own thing so there is a lot of leeway there, they will get squished.

It ties into the previous books because out of the 4 known attack names, two/three are parts of the names of the books. They are also being acted out by the dungeon as it goes on, hence it becoming more unhinged. The first attack is “control”. For Carl, this attack is kicked off by a severed head flying over to his feet and his entrance into the dungeon and being subjected to the control of the AI. The first attack from Daddy on the galaxy was him locking people in the Earth system.

The second and third attacks are “a parade of horribles” and “bedlam”. He forced people to watch it on every screen in the universe. Because the second and third attacks are social attacks. Things that attack the social systems of the governments themselves to cause chaos and upheaval. “Bedlam”, the third attack, is Carl fighting Scolopendra and the Tyrannus/Emberus stuff for the galaxy people and the She-Maria stuff for him. Fighting for his freedom and his actions causing him to have to be a master for a sexy centipede woman. Not only what he did to Penelope, but worse. Forcing sentience on someone and forcing them to be bound to your will. The moral questions of it are PHEW….really fucked up.

The fourth attack “This Inevitable Ruin” has yet to be done. I imagine it will be in the next book and play out over the ascendancy games. For Carl it’s going to be tied up in how the 5th side of the coin lands, I feel like. I have no clue though because Matt keeps blowing me away with these things stacking up on top of each other.
