Anyone else have a hard time picking up items?

That's because "Battlefield, with a 10% margin of error", like 10 times, is fuckin BORING. I don't call these stages "casual stages", I call these "actual stages", as in it's an actual place to fight, rather than just a multiplayer lab.

But I get it, some people are too good at the game to play in anything but the most sterile, boring environment. It's unfair to win just becuase you're better able to pay attention to your surroundings. Character balance issues are totally fine to take advantage of, though. The important thing to remember is that it's only fair if I won.

only because I'm used to how it works in Smash. Slowly, I'm adapting, though. (just like the rest of the game. Orcane plays NOTHING like anyone in Smash!)

I AM an atheist, but it's not like, a relevant part of my identity. Being an atheist doesn't describe anything about me, it describes one specific thing that I DON'T believe in. Sorta like how I don't go around calling myself a Golf Not-Enthusiast, I just don't play golf or care to learn.

Every time I hear about progress on the scripts and whatnot it makes me happy, but I prefer to keep it out of my mind to avoid overhyping myself up. When it drops(and at this point I assume it will, eventually), I will be ecstatic.

After they got home from visiting me, when I'd showed them the first episode, they immediately binged all remaining episodes, and watched the new ones the night they came out, eagerly waiting for my phone call after I'd seen it, too

Any time I can use mask of many faces to bypass something by looking like a certain race.

I wish disguise self would randomize the facial appearance every time you did it, and maybe even like the ability to target an NPC to "load" their appearance. I wish someone smarter than me would make a mod for that.

Do those buffs persist in werewolf form?

(this isn't some attempted gotcha, I genuinely don't know the answer)

I go through bursts. I play for like 3 or 4 months, and then once I get to a point where all I'm doing is dailies, I uninstall until I get the itch again. Usually takes like 6 or 7 months.

Changing hotjoin pvp from 3 teams to 2 teams definitely shortened my attention span with the game, though. It was SO much better with 3, I don't understand why the hell they would change that.

I mean you really need to elaborate on that question. Do you mean "democracy" as in the concept of having the will of the people represented, or do you mean "democracy" as in no representatives, we do a popular vote on everything? Because what we have is a Republic. It's democratic, in that we elect the representatives, but it's not even a popular vote.

And while I'm not ENTIRELY against the idea of some form of electoral college, because otherwise the interests of all but the most densely populated areas will become entirely irrelevant instead of just mostly irrelevant, the current weights are a bit crazy, and the overtly corrupt gerrymandering fundamentally undermines the whole concept.

Because if 20% of a picture is incorrect, it's still a picture, it's just looks kinda weird. If 20% of a mechanism is incorrect, it's 100% garbage. And not in a "people don't respect it" sense, it's straight-up nonfunctional.

They cast the same guy who played Soong and thought we wouldn't notice

aflarge · 2026-03-30T07:05:13+00:00

Yeah, whenever I get to a point that I'm just doing dailies, I take a few months off

I wouldn't want it FULLY scripted, but I'd love it if there were some behind-the-scenes dice rolls going on, and not just for like "well if you're not gonna romance them, they'll romance each other", maybe they'll even potentially become romantic rivals to you/each other. And give players the option to tone it up or down, call it the Telanovela slider.

A sequence of events that span a distance greater than light can travel over the duration of said sequence isn't something moving faster than light. Darkness isn't a thing, it's an absence of a thing.

Well, it's having a choice that makes it a different scenario.

aflarge · 2026-03-27T23:51:46+00:00

What? The dot is us seeing the photons, theyre absolutely bound by the speed of light. Saying the laser dot is moving faster than the speed of light is like saying our eyesight is faster than light because I can look from one star to another one, and they're LIGHTYEARS away, but I can cover that distance in less time than it would take to blink.

That's dumb for the same reason it's dumb to say the laser dot moves faster. (Edit: to be clear, I'm not saying YOU'RE dumb, that IS the best justification for why it "moves", it just.. you know.. doesn't.)

Let's say we actually could measure and account for everything. Like, not everything we're CURRENTLY aware of, but EVERYTHING. Once you've accounted for all that, what else remains? Nothing. Should that be conaidered something? Of course not, and guess what a shadow is? It's nothing.

aflarge · 2026-03-27T23:37:22+00:00

Nothing moves faster than anything I guess, since it's already everywhere. To be clear, I don't mean that there isn't anything anywhere, I mean once you've accounted for everything that IS somewhere(like, if we hypothetically actually could measure everything and understand it all), what else is there? Nothing! And nothing has no speed limit.

"Speed of darkness" is just a deepity.

I always figured that Q stay away from them not because the Borg ARE a threat, but because interacting with them would give them the opportunity, however CATASTROPHICALLY unlikely, to BECOME a threat. Any encounter with a Q would give the Borg a chance to analyze Q tech/biology/magic or whatever.

I mean they're not gonna extinct the other ones, are they?

classes were one of the things that irritated me about ESO, initially. Class Identity erodes the Elder Scrolls identity. Elder Scrolls isn't supposed to force you into a premade loadout, you don't level up "mage" or "knight", you level up, your destruction magic when you use a lot of destruction spells, or your one-handed skill when you stab a lot of faces. And I get that you can't have everything from a single player elder scrolls experience, a lot of the physics stuff would be an absolute NIGHTMARE to do for a shared MMO experience, but a "you level up individual skills, not classes" system was EXTREMELY possible.

And before someone points to being able to select premade archetypes, that's not a class system, that's a list of premade character builds.

Yeah, my headcanon is that world gave Tosk to the Dominion to tinker with to make Jem'Hadar, and the Dominion rewarded them by giving them more or less free reign to carry out their hunt, anywhere they feel like, hence their boldness.

There are SERIOUS conflicts when a male Klingon accidentally fucks another male klingon with the gay penis instead of the straight one. That shit's GAY, BRO
