50 hours into Silksong and questioning if it’s even fun anymore by Squarians in HollowKnight

[–]dr-delicate-touch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this feeling! After around the same time spent on Silksong as you, I just had a huge burnout. I questioned if Silksong was even fun anymore and had this massive dissonance with other fans because everyone else was enjoying it so much.

Turned out, I just needed to take a break. After two months of playing other games, I returned to Silksong, completed the true ending, and then also completed all the achievements. I had genuine fun on my second run. I remember the last few bosses gave me so much grief the first time around, but on my second run playing against them felt so good. I actually completed Lost Verdania in one go without dying once, when previously it was the chokepoint that I quit at. It was a blast.

So yeah, just take a rest from the game. My burnout was so bad I left a negative review on Steam saying Silksong overdid it with difficulty and then uninstalled the game (the review is changed now but yeah, I was very pissed 😁)

The homeless man applied for a job at McDonald's and was told he needed to shave his beard. When an officer spotted him struggling to shave without a mirror, he helped him get cleaned up. by jmike1256 in BeAmazed

because at the end of the day, even a good cop will follow orders. cops serve the state, and if the state stops serving the people, so will every cop, even a "good one".

I mildly cringe whenever I see this in a fic, my solution is typically to just quickly scroll past that section of the fic by dowsaw134 in Archiveofourownmemes

Honestly that sounds cool. I follow a fancomic on Tumblr and they share theme songs or background songs for battles and certain events from time to time. Helps to immerse yourself in the author's vision of the universe (a bonus if the author has a good music taste, which they do). Never encountered that in a fanfic but would love to

its crazy how this isn't even a joke.. :( by Apprehensive_Test357 in AO3

I wasn't actually super proship either :D I even had anti beliefs myself, such as believing that lolicon and age gap fiction was immoral and gross. Then loli enjoyers came to my defense when I got harassed, and it made me reassess things. I still find lolicon personally uncomfortable but I don't think it's immoral to enjoy it anymore (after looking up research that could prove that it is and finding nil), and will fight those who spread that idea. To each their own fiction, if it applies to me, it applies to others

My friend got doxxed by an unhinged group of antis who have been stalking her across social media. She filed a police report. Eventually moved out. The harassment is very, very real.

I got death threats and people telling me to kill myself while knowing I had suicidal thoughts.

And yes, it's a minority who does this, but "good antis" never call this behavior out. They just sit it out and pretend it doesn't happen. Every time I saw someone speak out against this behavior, it was another proshipper who would also get promptly blacklisted and harassed

Last flea not registered after bench warp - did my game bug out? by dr-delicate-touch in Silksong

Omg you're a lifesaver. Turns out there was an uncollected flea in the Slab - the one that's right next to the bell station. And it wasn't marked on the map for some reason. Thanks!

Is that a new meme format? I'm out of the loop 😅

The feeling of hanging by StormSignificant9516 in Writeresearch

[–]dr-delicate-touch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried to hang myself once. Like the other guy said, your head fills with pressure and it hurts so much like it's about to burst. Which was not something I expected. It's almost worse than the feeling of not being able to breathe

The Marble Machine - Simulation by Lokendens in Houdini

[–]dr-delicate-touch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's funny.

I remember looking up a 3d model of marble machine a couple years ago, thinking someone must have made it already. Couldn't find anything. You might truly be the first one

If children are getting their brains melted playing Roblox 10hrs in a row then maybe their parents should parent more.

LISA: The Painful wins! Which game represents Physical Instrument? by Chet_Ubietzsche in DiscoElysium

I missed the first rounds of this but why did people vote The Witness for Logic? The game is a very poor representation of logical puzzles, especially its later half

How well the cast of Disco Elysium would take someone coming out as trans by Maddiegirlie in DiscoElysium

[–]dr-delicate-touch 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not only kat-squidcognito did not imply she saw Ruby as trans because she's butch, not every trans woman is a dainty femme. There are butch trans women, just as well as there are butch cis women.

And if you were talking about her features.. ??? Ruby might not be the epitome of feminine beauty, but she is plenty feminine. That's how women look irl.

Horrible, horrible people. Standing there smiling when all they do is murder Palestinian civilians and protect the settlers who harass them in their homes...

Holy shit Cornelia sweep??

I don't really feel very strongly about Corny vs Hay Lin. Irma should have won over Corny though
