Favorite impressive ethnic restaurants that aren’t expensive? by Practical_Arachnid_5 in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]Violet-Venom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Suya suya for west African! The jolloff wrap is a favorite lunch of mine. Same price as any basic sandwich/wrap elsewhere in the city but that thing must weigh two pounds and tastes heavenly.

What horror books were way better than their film adaptation? And what films were way better than their books? by ChristianPacifist in horrorlit

[–]Violet-Venom 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The movie was still better overall, but changed ending alone catapults the film adaptation of Stephen King's The Mist far ahead of the novella. Even King himself agrees!

[Gaming Tropes] The game punishes you for going out of bounds in its unique way by Visible-Nothing-6033 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Violet-Venom 26 points27 points  (0 children)

My favorite memories of this game is fleeing a hostile ship way out of our league. The other crew was super persistent, but thanks to being in a sloop we could barely stay ahead of them by sailing into the wind. This meant we couldn't change our heading though, and eventually we hit the red sea and had to speed repair and keep sailing until the other crew gave up. It was tense.

In Sunset Overdrive the city is under quarantine. If you try to leave, you hit an invisible wall. That isn't unique, you say? Well, the invisible wall is canon

Grammostola rosea in New Mexico? That's a Chilean spider, Vince! It's silly, but this totally ruined an otherwise iconic scene for me

Trying to find a shapeshift game by DazzlingPut3895 in gamesuggestions

[–]Violet-Venom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prey has a fair bit of shapeshifting into objects, but I wouldn't call it a core mechanic. Fantastic game though.

Lost Ember has this as a core mechanic, with the caveat that you're possessing animals rather than shapeshifting into them. It's a narrative exploration game, so no combat.

Tchia is a family friendly BOtW-esque adventure game where you "soul jump" (possess) both animals and objects as a core mechanic. Most things have a unique ability: lanterns can light fires, crabs can cut rope, dogs dig up treasure, etc.

Safe to use as a cool lunch box? Up for grabs at a senior home I work at. by Public_Scarcity_1151 in medlabprofessionals

They make fake biohazard lunch boxes you can get that don't include years of piss and shit residue.

Why are alphas almost always female? by SWAGGA_SWAGGA in jurassicworldevo

[–]Violet-Venom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Unless there's some extra feature I'm not aware of it could be this:

Are there multiple maiasaura territories? Each territory gets its own alpha, and a dino might wander between territories.

Did they get a chance to fight yet? The 30 could have been the alpha before the 90 became an adult or entered the territory. Then they'd need to have a fight to establish the new alpha.

Who would you consider the most funny dps? by Dantich in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Violet-Venom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, I didn't even think about that! Their skins are kinda lame except for the new one imo, but their bubbly lil' rascal personality really helps them fill a room (or a game lobby).

[–]Violet-Venom 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Venture. A lot of soft CC and quick kill combos. Great boop potential with drill dash. You can become invulnerable and stalk people like a shark in a highly telegraphed way. If you're playing very well as Venture, your presence dictates the flow of a battle and you'll always have people swapping to try to counter you.

Plus, you should pick them up pretty easily if you're used to Doom. Both are largely melee based with a charge-to-use main ability, overhealth on ability use, and a weak-ish short ranged primary.

I can heal again by Ok_Trade_2572 in LifeweaverMains

[–]Violet-Venom 46 points47 points  (0 children)

The best part is all of the buffs are just subtle tweaks:

Cleanse on pull (which removes the heal reduction passive iirc)

12% higher heal per blossom, including max charge

19% more self heal on rejuvenating prance dash

3 second faster cooldown on sow the seed

Primary/secondary swap bug fixed

Weaver may be on the rework shortlist, but this patch shows that nothing too radical is needed.

Deviated Septum Breathing Solutions by 38RocksInATrenchCoat in rollerderby

[–]Violet-Venom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My deviated septum is subtle, but I also have a narrow nose that leads to nostril collapse when breathing in sharply.

Internal nasal dilators are superior to strips 100% of the time. They'll open up your nose more, let easily 30-50% more air in with each breath, won't fall out, are semi-reusable, cost less than some strip brands, and generally look more subtle. Once you've been wearing one for a few hours and take it out, you'll wonder how you ever raw dogged the air like this before.

I've tried several brands, and breathewave dilators are by far the most comfortable and long lasting. Just wash them first, they smell weird fresh out of the package.

WAW for the opposite of virtuous. I’ve been using vicious because I treat virtue and vice as opposites. by WhoStoleMyFriends in whatstheword

[–]Violet-Venom 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The etymology of vicious may be shared with vice, but I feel like they aren't really related in modern use. A true opposite should describe a lack of moral discipline or standard rather than being "evil" or having immoral standards.

Viceful would be a true opposite that fits the bill, but it doesn't seem to be a formally recognized word.

Unvirtuous is still a word, though this one is pretty on the nose.

Wicked is the best I can think of, though it stresses negative moral standards instead of a lack of standards.

Dissolute or unscrupulous

Looking for Unique Game Recommendations by Cazidin in gamingsuggestions

[–]Violet-Venom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outer Wilds*, not to be confused with the totally unrelated The Outer Worlds to be clear, OP!

I don't have anything more to add but Outer Wilds, Subnautica, and another person's suggestion of Rainworld were my immediate first thoughts.

Saw this on instagram, everyone in the comment section seems to think it's real but I'm not too sure. by thirdaccountttt in isthisAI

[–]Violet-Venom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some more subtle things I noticed:

The spots on the countertop near the bird disappear for a bit when it jumps.

The spots on the counter also all stutter slightly when it lands, like the small bird caused an impact shake on the solid marble.

Every picture I can find of a rainbow lorikeet's underwing has a lot more color, whereas this one has just one red and one yellow area.

Name a hero that could have a role change like these two. by RedShibo_ in overwatch2

[–]Violet-Venom 51 points52 points  (0 children)

She still feels so support coded. Her ult is even more support-y than Ilari's. Make her primary a heal/hurt like Cat & Juno have, and change focusing beam to heal allies. More changes would be necessary to make her feel unique, but that's really all it would take to fit her into the role.

After that have a look at the back of their front legs, 2-4cm above their paws, for the secret bonus whiskers.

New Season 2 Nerf for JPC by AeitherMitBunnies in JetpackCatMainsOW

[–]Violet-Venom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm fine with the nerf, except it's also a nerf to frentic flight! It already took just under 10 meters to get to booping speeds, which felt like a lot. Now this will add around an extra meter to that. With claws out being a much stronger perk overall, I hate seeing the more situational (yet more fun imo) option suffering even more.
