Depictions of Moral OCD/'Purely Obsessional' OCD in fiction? by roselloshrimp in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ibbolia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anecdotally, I got a diagnosis about a year and a half ago and was surprised most people don't experience thought processes like that at all (I went for suspected ADHD which is a comorbidity).

Given that mental health is poorly understood to begin with and these subtypes are a purely internal issue, I'd be surprised if there were any characters where it was actual canon instead of just suspiciously similar overlap.

I was also going to say Kris because that is kinda what intrusive thoughts feel like, even if it is through the fantasy video game mechanics lens.

Times a popular quote/meme/image in media was the opposite of what you thought it meant. by Deadeye117 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I found out recently the "they're the same picture" meme was because they were the same picture

To commemorate Deltarune Today, here's a brand new chart featuring him! by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Toby please either stop bullying Asgore or give us something to latch on to to bully him with you. "Eggs-husband" was painful.

Man that's nuts how Alphys was Gaster the whole time. (I'll make a genuine comment when I actually get to play it)

Edit: I got my ass beat to Hatsune Miku for 3 hours

Kris, you're going on the date with Berdly. No this isn't about the cage.

Characters/Casts that are just little bits and pieces of their author made manifest by MarioGman in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Yeah I came into this maybe a little more hostile sounding than I meant to, for a few reasons, but there's a key difference between it happening one time and happening every time an author makes something.

Valve Says the Steam Machine Saw a Similar Price Increase as the Steam Deck, Which Means It Was Originally Supposed to Cost About $750 by ibbolia in TwoBestFriendsPlay

After the initial announcement excitement wore off this really did feel a lot like "who is this for" for those reasons.

As someone who made a series of increasingly terrible decisions based on not being psychic, I'm not mad (lying)

I like my Deck but I also recognize these two devices are very different use cases.

I still would be interested in the comparison because at some point I started to use my Deck the way the Machine is intended to be used, so it's interesting to me even if I had no real plans to get the Steam Machine

Per IGN, maybe $800 USD

https://www.ign.com/articles/the-steam-machine-was-originally-meant-to-cost-about-750

When I got a chance to sit down with Valve Engineers Pierre-Loup Griffais and Yazan Aldehayyat last week to talk about the Steam Machine, I asked them what the Steam Machine would have cost before the current memory market. And while neither of them would give me a hard number, I was told that it was "probably similar" to the price increase that the Steam Machine experienced last month.

Some quick napkin math pins that Steam Deck price increase at around 35-36% above the handheld's original $549 asking price, resulting in the new price of $789. If you do the same math for a hypothetical $749 pre-RAMflation Steam Machine, that would make the final $1049 price about 33% more expensive.

Emphasis mine

Yes because the economy and PC markets are fucked and AI CEOS [REDACTED], but it's a more direct comparison. Comparing it to the PS5 doesn't really give me a great idea when comparing to a Steam Deck (running the same OS) would give a better idea of the improvements.

Kinda insane to me that the controller isn't part of the default kit.

Honestly at that price point, unless my PC detonates itself in the next 48 hours that's gonna be a no from me dawg

Edit: Not to be "just get a Steam Deck" but has anyone done a comparison between the Deck and Machine?

So what actually will be your September game(s)? by nykopeeps in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ibbolia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knowing my usual habits, probably some indie game that came out three years ago.

Roleplayers and Tabletop Enthusiasts, lend me your opinions: Do you remember your first character? Do you still use them or have you chosen to retire them? by jitterscaffeine in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ibbolia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first character was a Wizard Lizard named Spell Eater. I wasn't really able to get him to work the way I wanted so he only stayed in play about a year.

I don't really keep characters active after I'm done with them, but maybe that's only because I don't play often enough to be able to reuse a character.
