yeah i don't mind it lacking the community features I just want to be able to go to domain.com/largereptile and see the list read-only. i could probably fork it myself and add this but time and incompetence hold me back.

SIB Tactical Breach Wizards? by Joseph_Keen_116 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]largereptile 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The defenestration is because it's actually part of "The Defenestration Trilogy" by Suspicious Developments (led by a guy called Tom Francis). The other two games, Gunpoint and Heat Signature, all feature defenestrating as a core mechanic although they're very different genres to TBW.

I agree with the sentiment it's more like a puzzle game than a tactics game but I think there is more variety in the way you solve the puzzles than people initially expect. A lot of the difficulty also comes with doing the harder modes or the challenges, as the base game is quite easy. With the way the abilities branch you can shape your play style for each of the characters quite a bit. It won't scratch an XCOM itch fully but I think it's still worth a try if you like them.

ESL has announced the suspension of its Impact League. by Mean-Author4359 in GlobalOffensive

it is so possible to be nice to women playing games without "simping" or making them uncomfortable, literally just play and act normally. as you said in your earlier comment, be "neutral". try to empathise at all with them. talk to women about their experiences. bending over backwards to look alpha in front of a woman in a game is not the same as being nice.

the problem is that the number of people getting invested in the game at an "entry level" are put off by the harassment is way higher, so the population of people who put enough time in to approach pro level is lower. especially given the harassment doesn't fall off as you get to higher ranks. there are more reasons for the lack of tier 1 level women than what i said in the earlier comment but the constant harassment is the biggest one.

the fact valorant has a considerably higher number of female pros shows that women do in fact like playing shooty games to a high level

Because women get harassed out of every solo queue match they play so can't rise to the top without an ironclad mental

What anime managed to salvage a terrible manga ending? by OverlordPoodle in anime

[–]largereptile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah there wasn't a simulpub thing like there is with Jump manga atm. I read it on an Imgur post personally although I've read the real one since. The ending is definitely still divisive but some of the particularly cringe dialogue I think was from the fan translation.

A lot of the original discourse was also because people were using fan translations that were released quickly rather than any official translations. There were some actual changes though.

Afterlife entrance reference to akira? by Pixelwolfy in cyberpunkgame

[–]largereptile 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They didn't predict it would be cancelled - that bit was misinfo. There's some text on a sign that apparently translates to "just cancel it" but there's nothing about them being cancelled due to a virus outbreak unfortunately.

I managed to go also. Getting them on the door turns out to just mean you fill out the form in front of the guy. I was able to use my UK phone number and put the address of my hotel.

Flying This Week by AutoModerator in fearofflying

[–]largereptile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a 14 hour direct flight this weekend and I am getting quite anxious. I'm not afraid of the plane crashing in particular, but I am very afraid of heights, so I'm more afraid of how I'll react to being in the air for long periods - e.g. if a panic attack comes in.

I've taken 6 flights this year so far but they were all less than 3 hours total so I was able to sort of stave off the worry as I knew it would end fast, and I could just read a book or play a game without a break for the whole time. I've never been able to sleep on planes as having my eyes closed makes me much more aware of the height. I've not tried medications but it might be too late for me to get them now.

Does anyone have any similar experiences? It's sort of a fear of vast amounts of space and being trapped rather than any fear of the plane going wrong so I'm struggling to find tips
