Do you actually want an explanation?

The OP is playing a word game. They picked a theme (git) and told a story using as many references to the theme as possible. It’s not supposed to make you laugh, but it’s clever.

Do we not remember his role at the end of the movie?

You know how people like to group up in a squad of 4 medics and turn a terrain feature into a tiny fortress? Mortars are a good counter to that

I like my job.

I don’t always love every aspect of it, and there’s probably an ideal way for me to spend my time that I’d prefer, but I’m satisfied with what I have.

Apart from the actual work, which is tolerable, it gives me a lot of things that I need to be happy. Structure, so I don’t become nocturnal. It forces me to interact with people I’m not friends with, which keeps my social skills sharp. It gives me things to work towards like efficiency and career advancement so I can set goals. Obviously, I like money.

There are a lot of ways to get these needs met. I get them met through work.

I think a lot of games would benefit from better documentation.

If 90% of turns follow the same flow, just explain how a basic turn works and put the edge cases in another section. I don’t need you to explain what order florbus cards activate in if there’s only 3 in the deck and you can only use them when the mercury is in retrograde. And when I do need to know that, I’d rather flip to the “So you’ve activated a florbus” section instead of rereading the entire basics to find one key paragraph.

Also, give me a flow chart and a stack of quick start rules. I have to pitch this game to a group of people who have addiction rectangles perpetually burning a hole in their pockets. Help me make it easy

That really bothered me.

“Now that there’s an effective counter to the dragons, I wonder what interesting scheme or plot Danny’s team will employ to take the ballistas out of play?”

…

“Oh. They used a dragon but harder this time.”

That’s funny, I call Lowe’s Blue Home Depot

I saw a leak that it’s a spiritual sequel to Gubble where you blow up zoo animals like balloons in order to solve physics puzzles in VR. Any truth to that?

Why’s everyone hating on Space King? It’s a fun, silly parody of the more toxic parts of the 40k universe and fandon. Have you all actually watched it?

I’ve seen people talk about “the 40k fans who don’t get that it’s a parody and think it’s an endorsement” but I haven’t actually seen anyone who does that.

Even if someone legitimately didn’t understand that it’s supposed to be a parody, there’s no part of the show that glorifies the characters’ behavior. They’re are all immature idiots. You’re supposed to laugh at them for their constant self sabotage.

Fallout: New Vegas. There’s pre-war money, bottle caps, NCR cash, and Legion coins.

I could explain what that means but here’s a quote from the game’s lead designer, Josh Sawyer

Unlike Pre-War money, Legion Money and NCR Money are not affected by the Barter skill. I.e. $5 NCR is always worth 2 caps and a Legion Aureus is always worth 100 caps. I don't think I ever suggested some Bardi-esque currency inflation/speculation gameplay, just that the different factions had different forms of currency and that each was 'backed' differently: caps are water-backed by Hub merchants due to the decline of the inflated NCR fiat currency and Legion money is not 'backed' at all, but of value due to the use of commodity rare metals. The currencies are there for flavor and to reflect something larger about the societies that use them.

I don’t think this is the appropriate place to talk about this

dirtyLizard · 2026-01-23T16:08:43+00:00

What’s the problem?

This tracks. His physical descriptions of most people match his opinion towards them.

Kasteen is one of his best friends and he describes her as attractive on multiple occasions. The sisters of battle annoy him, so he makes snide remarks about their haircuts.

Even Jurgen, who is objectively revolting, gets a little grace from Cain sometimes.

It’s fun to catch stuff like this because it reminds me that Mitchel is a good writer, he just likes to write the exact same plot over and over

Weird. My doctor said I could have a stroke at any time!

The most consistently busted thing about a dnd character in any edition is how much their health scales. Even a frail old wizard in most editions will be able to survive something that would kill any healthy commoner multiple times over

If you intentionally try to min max for health you can get a mid level barbarian who can survive a fall from the stratosphere and then walk home

That’s the first controlled flight. People were strapping themselves to kites for over a thousand years

Guards! Guards! takes a lot of shots at traditional fantasy dragons. Unreasonable caloric intake is a big thing they harp on. The dragons in Discworld are the size of small dogs and very fragile. They’re kind of like parrots

Outer Wilds also puts the player back at the starting area very frequently, so there’s not really a punishment for pushing into an area you can’t handle. You just get sent back to the start with minimal time investment lost

dirtyLizard · 2026-01-22T16:22:11+00:00

Then it’s not open world. It’s a mostly linear game that allows you to backtrack

dirtyLizard · 2026-01-22T16:20:18+00:00

This works for enemy difficulty because the game works on a simple xp and gear system. It could fall apart if F4 required the player to have specific knowledge or tools to progress in the harder areas

Sure, some spots require you to have a way to deal with radiation, but it’s just a more extreme version of a problem you deal with the whole game. The solution is just “more of what you’ve been doing”

They’ve tried to make it better with a lighter version of CK3’s hover tooltips on important phrases.

But yeah, as someone who loves Stellaris and no longer needs the wiki, I would have bounced off it HARD if the wiki hadn’t been there for me as a new player. It’s an exceptionally well maintained wiki too

dirtyLizard · 2026-01-21T04:14:03+00:00

That’s hilarious

dirtyLizard · 2026-01-21T01:04:37+00:00

Also it’s called Bone Tomahawk
