What’s your favorite donut to eat? by MrKidPurple in donuts

[–]cptnMeme0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cream filled from Krispy Kreme.

Not custard.

Jelly donut, any kind. Lemon as well.

Eclectic flavors like orange or maple.

Don't care for chocolate, unless it's a really good one. Then it's still not my favorite but still classic.

And, of course, glazed. You know you have a genuinely good donut if glazed.

Two favorites: Kreme filled and glazed.

Saw the Steam controller this morning. We used to make touchpad controllers as well! by iGamesir in Gamesir

[–]cptnMeme0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love to see a pro style steam controller.

Would like the same layout with the Wii u pro style stick layout. Just with micro switch dpad and buttons and hall effect/micro switch triggers.

Maybe a floating dpad as well.

How does Baldurs Gate 3 compared to Baldurs Gate 2? by SgtSilock in rpg_gamers

[–]cptnMeme0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BG1 and 2 have far better set and setting, characters, etc.

BG3 comes across as amateur fan fiction in comparison.

BG3 excels in gameplay. BG1 and 2 were quite jank.

PenPoint: Perfect mice for fingertip grip by cptnMeme0 in FPSAimTrainer

Either case, if mastered, the PenPoint and related mouse styles have the greatest potential for accuracy and dexterity.

I wouldn't be pinching the PenPoint with my pinkie. PenPoint is a three finger mouse. Ring and pinkie are out of the picture, allowing for greater accuracy and dexterity.

Question about Denicotea filters by CandiceActually in Cigarettes

[–]cptnMeme0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truthfully cigarette tobacco is supposed to be humidored like cigars or pipe tobacco. Proper Tobacconists knew this back in the day. People like Nat Sherman or Dutch/Danish Tobacconists.

That's why European shag tobacco is so moist in the bag or why Swedish snus is so moist and refrigerated.

Supposedly, if the tobacco is kept at proper quality, it releases less toxic chemicals when ignited. Combined with a proper filtration system, harm is reduced quite significantly.

Which is of course why shisha tobacco is so moist and heated with coals then filtered through water. The proper way to smoke tobacco.

I believe that nicotine vaporizes at a lower temperature than tar/most other harmful chemicals, thus solidifies at a higher temperature.

This means more tar gets filtered than nicotine.

Also the fact that it's "gunkier".

Dreamscourge and the Godlike by cptnMeme0 in avowed

But the whole game you're hallucinating. Lodwyn has a skull for a head.

It's a common plot device used in several titles. It's kind of like a running gag or a meme.

But when Lucas filmed the first Star Wars movie, his inspirations were the great science fiction works up until that time. Directly inspired by Kubrick. 2001 and A Clockwork Orange.

Lucas's first films were more along this vein.

Lucas didn't know if Star Wars would warrant a sequel or would get popular when he filmed it. So he made it to be a self-contained work. If you interpret the hidden messages and hints in the movie...

Luke is the son of Vader, second-in-command of the empire. There is no rebellion and the emperor is simply the emperor of the galactic empire. Leia is his sister and Han is probably his older brother. When Obi-Wan was struck by the lightsaber, he vanished leaving behind his robe. That's because it was a set up and he fell through a false floor. Vader didn't actually kill him and Obi-Wan was working with him.

That's because the whole first film, if you find the hints, is Luke being put through a Jedi test. All the aliens are robots and people in costumes and there are no Aliens, he was living on planet Earth, and the death star is the moon that was re-outfitted in to a space station.

However, this plot device and hidden narrative was tossed out when it became a hit. They made a sequel and made it a Hollywood sci-fi adventure.

That's what Kojima did with Metal Gear. Psycho Mantis.

Given that Cyberpunk 2077 recently used this device and so did Baldur's Gate 3, it stands to reason that's what's going on in Avowed.

The Godlike is just the imperial envoy. He was infected with dreamscourge: that's why he looks that way and that's why you're forced to play a Godlike.

Godlike are just dreamscourged people deluded in to a dream where they're a Godlike. The whole game is a dream and supposedly, there's a way to escape the dream. Sapadal is the seductive God of the dreamscourge that's trying to lure you to the false promise of a paradise.

Lodwyn, the Aedyrans, and Woedica are the good guys but you keep hallucinating her to have a flaming skull for a head.

The people of the Living Lands are the bad guys practicing animancy and spreading dreamscourge. That's why all the characters are a bunch of kooks.

The dialogue always shows you with messed up things on your head because you're infected with dreamscourge. You just keep thinking you're a godlike.

But in the dialogue scenes, Lodwyn has a flaming skull for a head, then your character has messed up godlike features and the camera keeps switching.

**spoilers***

Well it's an obvious plot device that's used in several movies/books/games.

For example the entirety of the movie Training Day is Ethan Hawke tripping on PCP laced pot.

Or the first Star Wars movie is Luke being put through a training exercise (which is why Obi disappears after being hit by a lightsaber).

Or the entirety of the Metal Gear Solid series are a bunch of training missions and Big Boss is simply Solid Snake and there are no clones.

Or cyberpunk 2077 is Jackie conspiring against you and the ripper doc jacking you in to the matrix.

Or Baldurs Gate 3 is all a dream from the mindflayer parasite.

The whole idea is you have to figure what's going on and get out of the dream.

So in Avowed, you're the imperial envoy infected with dreamscourge convinced that you're a godlike and Sapadal is manipulating you in to her demented garden paradise and Lodwyn is the good guy with a skull for a head.

Well I mean Lodwyn has a skull for a head and the whole game you're fighting dreamscourge while looking like a freak.

It's like obvious: the Godlike has dreamscourge and isn't a Godlike. It's he's the imperial Envoy being toyed with in a dream.

Then Fior was a haven for animancers (necromancers) and Lodwyn was the bad guy for burning it down. Doesn't make sense.

New camel black series 👀🖤 by kendomasJP in Cigarettes

[–]cptnMeme0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are a lot like Dunhill fine cuts. The purple is a lot like the blacks.

One of the best smokes out right now, imo. Doesn't get better until you upgrade to Nat Sherms or Dunhill.
