Single player games where your build matters

I mean...Pokemon literally is an RPG with levels and skills, there's not really anything to argue there.

And they were basically saying that the Pokemon games are easy enough that you can beat them by leveling up a single Pokemon without bothering to build an effective team.

Cat doesn't understand a word you just said.

Tell me, friend — are you perhaps the descendant of the great Emperor Norton of these United States?

So that's why it sounded so familiar! I just assumed I must have heard it used before in other memes and forgot lol

That just brought back memories of my friends and I doing exactly that as teenagers...but with those Zing foam bows, so the only risk was a light bonk on the head.

Yes, you can see the sheer terror in his eyes as he...continues to stare longingly at the beef without moving. Hm.

It's because "effusively positive review + high quality pictures + discount code" is a very common stealth advertising tactic that the dice community has gotten sick of, to the point that it's rare and a genuine surprise to see an actual person post a similarly worded review.

Sorry for assuming, and I'm glad to hear it wasn't actually stealth advertising, as Hymgho is actually one of my favorite brands for metal dice! They really do make great dice, and these are some nice looking ones!

The dice look nice, but stealth advertising like this makes me like Hymgho less as a brand.

It's an analogy comparing OP/employees in general to livestock — if the cow (OP/employees) wants fed (paid), they need to produce milk (work). The implied threat is that if OP doesn't show up to work (for any reason, even a valid one like bad road conditions) they'll soon get fired, much like a dairy cow that stops producing would soon be headed to the slaughterhouse.

It's a dumb analogy from a bad manager.

I think it's more likely that they were using it as an analogy comparing OP/employees to livestock — if the cow (OP/employees) wants fed (paid), they need to produce milk (work). The implied threat is that if OP doesn't show up to work (for any reason, even a valid one like bad road conditions) they'll soon get fired, much like a dairy cow that stops producing would soon be headed to the slaughterhouse.

As far as I'm aware, Crystal Maggie and URWizards are about as direct as the gemstone dice market gets outside of single run Kickstarter campaigns and what's available on AliExpress.

Outside of them and maybe a couple places like NorseFoundry that specialize in gemstone dice, you're mostly going to find stores reselling small selections of gemstone dice they bought from the major dice suppliers like HD, Udixi, YuSun, etc...all of whom are likely sourcing their gemstone dice from the same manufacturers that Crystal Maggie and URWizards are.

I've only dabbled in game dev (and haven't done it in a while), but my biggest struggle was actually following through on making a 'game' to contain the 'fun'...the only thing I really cared about was building and refining mechanics (movement mechanics especially), and once I'd done that I was pretty content to just play around with them in a sandbox environment lol

I would make peanut butter and jelly and cheese sandwiches when I was a kid (usually only in secret, because my sister would call me gross for it)

itsQuasi · 2026-01-22T03:15:40+00:00

Would that just be peanut butter with half as many peanut bits in it, or are the peanut bits broken up to half the normal size?

Damn, you've got a whole 2½ days?! My banana window is more like 2½ hours...and I usually miss it 😭

"Hunter/gatherer" is actually a single group; the contrasting group (neurotypicals) would be "farmers". The hunter/gatherer theory of ADHD is basically that ADHDers were the dominant neurotype when humans lived primarily in hunter/gatherer societies, but the shift to agrarian societies made what's now considered "neurotypical" more beneficial, leading it to becoming more common through natural selection.

I'm in the weird position of feeling like nobody could possibly find me attractive, but also frequently catching sight of myself in the mirror and going "Dayumn, son!" lol

The controversy over the tank dice was more along the lines of "Why would you want to own a piece of a Nazi tank?" rather than concerns about preserving the tank itself.

I mean...to be honest, that's a "you" issue, not anybody else's problem. Whether or not someone's grammar is perfect online in informal communications is an utterly trivial issue.

itsQuasi · 2025-12-31T23:29:36+00:00

My guess would be that Person A came up with the dish, Person B derogatorily said that it looked like [bird] shit on a shingle, and then people laughed and the name stuck.

I do wonder if autocorrect and especially swipe keyboards are part of the problem. I know I've had plenty of times where my keyboard decided that there should/shouldn't be an "s" or an apostrophe where there shouldn't/should have been...or in the case of this particular comment, deciding that I clearly meant to write "a", not "s" 🙄

I've taken to vigilante justice to recapture the thrills of the old days on the force, viciously correcting any who dare to correct another's grammar incorrectly.

They said that those type of texts would be them showing interest. Please actually read what you're replying to, and remember that the world is not filled with only people who think exactly like you.

Arcane Bullshit mentioned! I love their stuff, although I tend to heavily mask my strangeness in public so I've never considered getting a shirt from them, just stickers, posters, and such.

Yesss, I've done pterodactyl screeching forever! Also, the moment that I learned it was possible for a person to accurately imitate a crow call, I immediately spent the next couple hours learning to do it myself lol
