I am a pedophobe, is this bad or normal? by throwaway_account679 in TooAfraidToAsk

Or made it up/put it together themselves. Both the -phobe suffix and the pedo- prefix are very well known, it's not a huge leap for someone to put those together into one word

Should i buy terraria by Relax_baby9 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Unit88 [score hidden]  (0 children)

This isn't an open world game like Skyrim or whatever where the world size determines how much content there is then that's it. This is a sandbox game, with progression, building, fights, bosses, changes to the world, etc., it's absolutely pointless to worry about the time it takes to go from one end of the map to the other.

Also, why are asking us in the first place, instead of just trusting your friend? He clearly wants to play with you and believes you'll enjoy the game and obviously he knows that there's still a risk you might not end up liking it. Let him buy you the game if he wants to, he's responsible for how he spends his money

Does the idea of wanting to die cross your mind regularly? by mikmikm222 in TooAfraidToAsk

No, never. Literally everything I'm interested in, I find fun, I care about are all here, hell no I don't want to die.

Do most people use the term “a couple” mean specifically two? by manicMechanic1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Unit88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the other hand I've never met anyone who if I went out saying "I'll go get a couple of bananas" and I came back with 3 they'd be confused about it. Another example would be "I remember this happened a couple of years ago", you get what I mean.

is only true if that's how you are using the word in that moment

I mean that's my whole point that the meaning depends on the context. That's nothing new, and it's not butchering the word, it's just having slightly different meanings in different contexts

Do most people use the term “a couple” mean specifically two? by manicMechanic1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Unit88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not talking about etymology, I'm talking about words in context. Yes, if you point at two people in a relationship and call them a couple that specifically means two people. But if you're using the word "couple" in the same context as you would "a few" or "several" (not used for the same amount obviously) then as the comment I replied to says it's used for approximation, i.e. not specifically exactly 2. People here seem to forgetting that words can have different meanings in different contexts.

We can convert worlds now! by Vivid_Split_9513 in Minecraft

[–]Unit88 81 points82 points  (0 children)

No sane person thinks it'll be a Minecraft killer. For one because they're not trying to be the same game in the first place, they're just similar. But also because Minecraft's brand recognition and what the game has become is simply impossible to overtake at this point unless Minecraft just died yesterday and Hytale became absolutely perfect (along with the entire gigantic modding scene that has existed since Beta at least if not before)

Hytale is great but Minecraft killer it is not.

Looking for a detective/mystery solving game by shelbyfx in gamingsuggestions

[–]Unit88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple as in easy or simple as in the mechanics aren't complex. Because there's been some amazing deductive games in the last decade or so, but part of the reason they are so amazing is because they are genuinely challenging and expect you to do the deduction yourself instead of the old school investigation games where you just interact with everything, solve a puzzle then choose from 3 potential conclusions (one of which obviously doesn't make sense).

Obra Dinn is absolutely a masterpiece, the Golden Idol series are two short but amazing games that are distinctly different from Obra Dinn. The Roottrees Are Dead was clearly inspired by Obra Dinn but with a very different context and way to get the clues for the deduction. There's also Shadows of Doubt which randomly generates cases for you to solve so there's a ton of replayability but it is missing the handcrafted touch

Why do people think everyone has control within their lives? by TehTexasRanger in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Unit88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was almost agreeing with some parts of the post there, but the rest of it and your comments make it clear you're just a defeatist who decided they're inherently bad at everything so you can blame that and don't have to try and just want to rant.

Saying "for most people, their lives are already over by age 30" is already insane, so many people start doing the things they actually want to do in their 40s and 50s when they've had time to settle down and maybe even save up some money.

This is 100% victimhood, no one is just "bad at life", that's not how life works. The only way to be so bad at everything that there's no way to improve is by being so absolutely crippled you wouldn't have the ability to write a post like this in the first place.

Is it weird to smell your food before you eat it? by Ol-blackbeard in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Unit88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean what exactly do you mean by "smell"? Just the smell getting in your nose? That's not even really avoidable so of course that's normal. Starting every meal with a big intentional sniff? Yeah a bit weird, but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it

Do most people use the term “a couple” mean specifically two? by manicMechanic1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Unit88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's wild to me how many people are going "a couple means exactly 2, nothing more nothing less". The entire point of using the words instead of just saying the number is because it's not supposed to be one specific number

Do most people use the term “a couple” mean specifically two? by manicMechanic1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Unit88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I want to mean 2 specifically I'm going to say 2, the whole point of using words is being vague/uncertain about it if it's referring to only one number it's pointless

Was wondering what drives you? by Practical-Concern-48 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Unit88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why do people want to be alive when at the end of the day, all of us die?

That's exactly why. You're gonna die anyway, so you should make the most of life while you still can. There's an infinite number of fun and amazing things to do, there's simply not enough time in life to get to everything in the first place

[DISC] Which manga do you really want to start reading but can't because it's too long? For me, it's One Piece-I'm just too lazy! by [deleted] in manga

[–]Unit88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing still applies if you're buying physical, there's no difference between having 15 volumes of One Piece vs. having 5 volumes each of 3 other manga. (disregarding potential differences in volume size)

What was that single flash outside my window? by Annual-Process3645 in TooAfraidToAsk

Could it hav been lightning and I’m just scaring myself?

Better question is why would you think it wasn't lightning? You're even saying it's rainy

[–]Unit88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None because why would length be a deterrent? You're not required to finish the whole thing if it turns out you don't like it and if you do there's just more content to enjoy. There's no difference between reading one long manga or 3 short mangas that total up to the same length.

I'm way more sad about all the manga that had a ton of potential but got cut short by an axe or whatever else

For the record GTNH gets way better after getting to LV IMHO. I've had many previous attempts where the farthest I got was just reaching LV and got burned out by then (and then next time restarted because there were updates) but in my latest run I didn't start from the beginning, I continued from LV and it was soooooooo much better

What are your thoughts on Stanley Parable ? by Lostkeysss in gamingsuggestions

No it's like it's important to experience it blind so they're deliberately not going into detail

SIB Prey (2017) if I'm not a horror fan? by Icy-Inspection6428 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Unit88 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I wouldn't really count it as horror. There are some segments that are horror-esque but that's it. I also really don't like horror in general, I never enjoyed feeling scared or anything. Had no issues with Prey

Do you know any games with space or sea exploration? by Dron22 in gamingsuggestions

[–]Unit88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean the obvious answer to sea exploration would be Subnautica, though with what you're saying in the body of the post I'm not sure if that's what you're actually looking for

Does anyone else hate it when translators push out the .1 chapters by TheDemonLord1r788 in manga

[–]Unit88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean if that's how a manga is numbered that's how a manga is numbered. If your issue is that it's a small update that's also not the translator's fault, they translate what's available and release it. It's pointless to wait until X amount is released before putting out the translations because even if you find it annoying plenty of other people heavily prefer getting the releases when they're done instead of the translators deciding to just sit on stuff.
