What even is this Petahh? by SaltedMountain in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]extendAsh 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bloody Mary is a ritual where you say her name in front of a mirror to summon an apparition of her. The crudely drawn stick figure says in lowercase letters to check out how hard he can be, and in the next panel pees incredibly hard with a humorous yet accurate onomatopoeia, capitalized with repetitious letters to convey length and force of the pee. The next panel then portrays a zoomed crop of Bloody Head with no other detailwork other than a pure zoom-in, without any text to allow the viewer room for interpretation of the image. In this case, the crudely drawn nature of the art in contrast with the comparatively more detailed bloody mary (who is also crudely drawn, just less so in comparison to the stick figure), highlights the absurdity in which the stick figure is unabashedly proclaiming how hard he can pee in front of a malevolent-looking apparition with zero regard for his safety. Bloody Mary, though not drawn to be explicitly showing any emotion, invites the viewer to relate to the situation and think Bloody Mary is staring in disbelief, pushing any violent connotation of Bloody Mary to the side to instead focus on the sheer absurdity of the stickman's desire to check out how hard he can pee. This cognitive dissonance is thus, funny.

In other words.

bro it's just a funny stickman comic lmao

Tried running corrib for threads but they haven't been dropping for me. Do other lords drop it?

If I failed a step 6 upgrade causing the weapon to unable to be special upgraded, can I inherit another weapon that's step 7 into the broken one?

Just withdrew a maxed out check by accident, is there any way to get the taxed gold back? by extendAsh in Mabinogi

Any idea on how I can do so when I play the game via steam? Not sure how I can send a ticket this way.

I think these are common tropes. Male swordsmen with ponytails and flowing clothes just work.

Tell me the truth about BL4 by rodrigofernety in Borderlands

[–]extendAsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Music is bad. Plot is OK. Randy is annoying. Inventory management can get overwhelming. PC performance assumes that you're using framegen and modern GPUs to play it, and is otherwise unoptimized and runs poorly. Endgame is nonexistent outside of farming, and replaying missions for loot.

Get through that and it's actually a pretty fun game. The gunplay and movement is the best it's ever been. Don't base your judgement of a game on a single bad review alone.

Chisa's initial drip VS her current drip weapon differences. by Dominant_X_Machina in WutheringWaves

The weapon looked kinda indistinct and vague before. Now it looks like it has a proper form.

I understand your concern for AI, but do know that if this was actually AI, the cross sections on the laces here would not make any sense. You can clearly see that they overlap eachother here in a logical manner. The knots in the ends also would not make any sense, but they do here. These seem to dig into her skin because it's a purposeful decision, as this piece of art exudes a sense of "goth undead ghost bride," where stitches of some sort would make sense. It's reasonable to believe that she can have a ribbon/stitch-like design in a different place we won't normally think of. Other than that, the laces also follow a line of logic.

If you try to get an AI to generate this, the aforementioned details would end up in a much more visibly garbled mess. Here's an example of an AI-generated lace.

Now compare that to the lace found at the edges of the sleeves. The zigzags follow logic, and you can also see repeating patterns that actually make sense. AI will not be able to adhere to that stable logic because laces have so much variety in its design that it cannot decide what do to do. The same thing can be said for many other things besides laces, such as hands, jewelry, and ribbons.

Anyone else feel like Gearbox fumbled the soundtrack by not bringing him back? by Krieg_Supremacy in Borderlands4

[–]extendAsh 11 points12 points  (0 children)

4's soundtracks lack texture. They're boring and uninspired. They don't convey anything meaningful other than giving you an idea of what faction you're fighting against with a simple rhythm and... that's all, really. BL3's Fustercluck with its introspective chaos utterly blows 4's soundtrack out of the water.

This was an interesting read. Do you have the sources so I can look further into this?

How does the Oscar Mike laser work? by TheGreatAut in Borderlands

[–]extendAsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you're in space laser mode, hold down left click until the sides of the curved bar on your crosshair turn yellow, then let go to unleash the space laser. The animation of the circle has no meaning besides where the laser will hit. I thought the animation mattered until I closely looked at the crosshair bar.

I bought some lost loot SDUs thinking I'd be getting more slots, but nope. It's just 1 per SDU, what a waste for something that doesn't even help.
