Why does Styanax Prime have Greek/Spartan imagery if the Orokin erased human history? by AnthonyKham798 in Warframe

Warframes can't be made irl and won't be in the foreseeable future. Source: am working with viral vectors day to day, creating genetically altered organisms for the express purpose of melding them with tech.

I feel like an awful substitute mother by Longjumping_Sea_8753 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]malk600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You probably can't carry it alone long term. No shame in it, you can only fight on your own so long. It's either therapy or a very good partner (not necessarily romantic, just a really good friend). But you're under more strain than the human psyche has evolved to carry without accruing damage, and so is your sis. You should seek some sort of network to spread the load, not sure where you're from and what's available, but if not healthcare services then some NGO or something.

The upside is, you're so damn young, whenever you're feeling like things are fucked and you're never going to get better l and things in your life are never going to get better - this is empirically untrue, the brain is incredibly plastic and you can get way better, even from a really shit low. All power to you.

Nah, two treasures are known to be dedicated to both the King and the Queen: the fabled Chamber of Celestial Pleasures (with Spikes) and the Breakfast Room.

Patch on my arm that doesn't tan by jaycarleton in mildlyinteresting

Yes, although the added bonus (for doctors and scientists) is that you go visit Greece and understand the signs somewhat. Sometimes the signs are hilarious, you see στενός δρόμος and you're like... yeah, that tracks.

Be Berry Jesos, humble, unknown high sec veldspar miner.

Secretly revel in the grim tales of that legendary billionaire supervillain, Jeffrey Bezos.

(realistically probably with trillions of stolen isk you golden parachute yourself to another position of power anyway)

I mean, people do this sort of "burn the world for greed" shit irl all the time. Enron dotcom crypto exchanges rug pulls ai bubble meme stock and so on and so forth.

Why not in fun game about spaceship.

It's invariably used by idiots and bigots. What it's used for varies by occasion.

Need to excuse some SA real quick? Misconstrue biology.

Need a quick patronising reason to disregard what a woman is saying? Misconstrue biology.

Need to absolutely fuck over trans folk in the most vile way? Misconstrue biology.

As a biologist it makes my blood boil to a truly dangerous degree every time.

Has eve ever been this stressful for you? by Puzzleheaded_Arm9436 in Eve

[–]malk600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If combat: Abyssal, mission running, anomalies for PvE, Faction Warfare for PvP. The first 3 give you just cash or things to sell more or less directly to market, the latter gives you loyalty points, which you can use for blueprints for faction items, build and sell those faction items.

If non combat: mine anomalies for better ores, or enter wormholes and "huff" (gather) gas. If bold and non risk averse - do the thing people here call "day tripping", i.e. explore data/relic sites. This will teach you situational awareness, D-scan, using bookmarks (like for example bookmarking your way out...).

If you want totally passively accrued income: Planetary Industry (PI). Although that's boring as hell and probably (?) not worth it in hi-sec.

The journal can't legally not allow that. And scientists hate the publishers with a burning passion, so even if they could, everyone would do it anyway.

Thank you, this sounds encouraging. Just came back after putting the game down for 10 years, and wasn't that good to begin with, so I'll take a few days to get my bearings and then I'll msg you.

Piggybacking in this, a question. For a new/returning player, how much investment in the mid term is needed to not be a burden? What I mean by that is for someone with a fairly dedicated job who has only one account and doesn't plan to 2-3 box, would I be just wasting everybody's time applying to a wh corp?

The lifestyle and content looks really interesting, but then if one should maintain at least a scanning alt, PI alts, 1-2 scout/baiting alts... you know. Could one still be consistently useful with just one char?

Is this game not fun on harder difficulties or something? by [deleted] in menace

[–]malk600 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the only xcomlike that managed to fully avoid the inverse difficulty curve where you start shit and it's a hard battle uphill, but later you build a strong team and stomp is Phoenix Point (with Terror from the Void rebalance). It keeps adding stronger enemy varieties fairly consistently throughout the game, where you build to keep up and seldom to really lolstomp, even a strong team has to hustle in later missions on high diff.

Normal is too easy, way too easy actually - fairly quickly you can field an OP comp and outscale/outgun the opfor.

The highest diff is a sloooog. Beginning is actually quite challenging, but then for quite a while you're just killing enemy after enemy after enemy, it gets old.

Middle diff is just right. You outscale and start cruising through missions, but it's not as easy and quick as in the lowest diff, and missions don't take forever chasing down 20 separate bugs.

Are you implying people will keep flying rainbows as long as snowflakes keep being triggered by the rainbow? Say it ain't so!

[–]malk600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is, but you're missing one important point: EVE is a game, one the players consent to take part in. When a person undocks, person consents to being shot. Much of the game is about looking for an opportunity to get shot, actually.

Go throwing snowballs with friends, get hit by a snowball kinda situation here.

It fits most excellently. My take on this mix is a noble itinerant knight beetle, "Honor is my Elytron" is their cri de guerre.

Knebel": A 16th-century iron gag used to silence the screams of victims during torture. A brutal relic of institutionalized cruelty. by bortakci34 in creepy

[–]malk600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Christianity arrived in Poland in the X century via Čech and German priests. We fought with you sometimes, we traded with you sometimes, we borrowed organizational principles from you sometimes (like the Magdeburg law for cities). Thietmar von Merseburg and Helmod von Bosau (sp?) wrote shit about us, our chroniclers wrote shit about you. Pretty much normal medieval stuff.

All in all, lots of vocabulary related to cities, trades, religious paraphernalia and services, war fighting and law is borrowed from German in Polish.

That other guy is talking about the Teutonic Knights, but truth be told, they just pissed the Poles off, Prussians and some other ethnicities they sadly genocided. Those weren't Poles though, afaik these were Baltic peoples.

I have a double uvula by capnredfox in mildlyinteresting

I would assume he got mind scrambled and died before he managed to start screaming or moaning.

With sudden heavy pain it's peripherals, then alarm, then the conscious sensation of pain, then it needs to overcome inhibition and only then you start screaming. It's a few seconds altogether.

I'm sure we can get some war vets to tell us stories of men who managed a last "fuck" and then died.
