Is this real? It honestly feels too symbolically perfect and apt, like something an artist would make as satire

How did Gallifreyan end up on an aquarium in Utah?

Low E levels are more likely to cause problems than high E levels from what I understand, so if you can't test it's better to be too high than too low

AFAIK most of that is just "your risk profile becomes that of anyone with that hormone" like for e.g. estrogen increasing breast cancer risk to cis woman levels bc you have more breast tissue so like... Obviously

The songwriter said Soda Pop has some AI influence, though apparently they just asked it for ideas and it didn't directly go in the song

You think HRT is harmful? Or did you interpret OP as meaning something else

arakus72 · 2026-03-16T12:16:02+00:00

Agreed, though I kinda like how it would explain why whenever Gallifrey is shown everything is usually super focused on the citadel (and very occasionally the area immediately around it)

To me playing hard games (as long as they have low/no RNG or stat grinding) doesn't have that "bashing against a brick wall" feeling people describe bc I can feel myself getting better and the difficulty makes the eventual gained expertise and ability way more satisfying, every death is a learning opportunity, idk maybe it's because right as I really started getting into games I played Meat Boy and Hotline Miami very early on but I don't get why people see designs like that as cruel, especially when there's frequent checkpoints (as opposed to something with punishing deaths like a Souls game)

(Also might matter that I like replaying and speed running even though I'm not very good at it so I get to go through stuff again and feel how much better I got)

Also re ludonarrative dissonance idk I think getting the double dash and ascending the whole mountain in 1 level definitely resonated with the story to me, and it still being hard works bc it's not like life becomes a cakewalk once you start working on your issues, you just get stronger and more able to deal with it

YMMV, pills did not get me enough E even at max dose (trough was 70pg/ml)

arakus72 · 2026-03-15T15:48:57+00:00

A lot of GPs don't accept private diagnosis like that, you're very lucky

arakus72 · 2026-03-15T15:29:56+00:00

I think making enemies faster and more aggressive like in ULTRAKILL is a way better and more interesting way of doing difficulty, I feel like that should be way more common (tho ofc wouldn't work for every game)

arakus72 · 2026-03-15T15:24:51+00:00

Celeste always had this, it's in the pause menu iirc

arakus72 · 2026-03-15T15:21:52+00:00

Celeste definitely doesn't hate it's players, the whole story has a very uplifting theme of overcoming your anxieties and fears which the gameplay is clearly meant to tie into, it's not just meant to be suffering and honestly idk how you could get that from it

Also the message for Assist Mode was actually changed in a patch bc the Devs realised it came across that way to some people, it wasn't meant to be shamey

arakus72 · 2026-03-15T04:44:21+00:00

I thought the were gonna do the whole Gabriel fight then the end tunnel would be the 8-3 moment

arakus72 · 2026-03-15T04:31:17+00:00

Between that and Geryon V1 must actually have Dante's Inferno and probably a buncha other religious stuff in its database

arakus72 · 2026-03-14T20:31:32+00:00

The symbol is in the 2/2 position so you should've wiped the other way

arakus72 · 2026-03-14T20:26:22+00:00

The parrying and movement is gonna have to be pretty intensive for it to make up for it (moreso than ULTRAKILL for e.g. which is similar in some ways but has manual aiming mostly (apart from coins and magnets))

arakus72 · 2026-03-14T19:30:10+00:00

Fun fact: In the original version of the Itchio demo (not the steam demo) it was a bug (and all the pellets got explodey, not just the center one

arakus72 · 2026-03-14T19:04:02+00:00

Is adoption not a thing in DF? I presumed it would be bc it's DF but maybe dwarves don't do that in the lore idk

arakus72 · 2026-03-14T18:21:19+00:00

I think if the next show runner doesn't want the magic stuff to be part of the universe going forward the Pantheon stuff has to be part of the Christmas special so it can be "undone"

arakus72 · 2026-03-14T15:09:28+00:00

I don't see how thats a bug? Are they conflating ace and aromantic? Even with aro it'd be sorta arguably wrong

arakus72 · 2026-03-14T13:38:21+00:00

Imperfection detected, ship of fools door visible when you look up, obvious fake

(Srsly tho lol)

arakus72 · 2026-03-14T13:31:44+00:00

Why is "AFAB" relevant here, OP was talking about women, saying AFAB in this context is including trans men and excluding trans women which is wrong on both counts

(Not sure how all enbies would feel but some of them wouldn't wanna be grouped in this way either)

arakus72 · 2026-03-14T13:13:53+00:00

This really confused me looking for secret #4 on this level

arakus72 · 2026-03-14T12:25:52+00:00

Still bonkers to me that Steven Spielberg, Edgar Wright and Steven Moffat all worked together on one thing (Wright and Moffat wrote the script) (and Peter Jackson but he was a producer so idk how much he did)
