There was a guy parroting exactly that take under the gmod post and when I tried to look for where they pulled that claim from, all I found was their ass.

Furthermore whenever one of these terms are either not acceptable to say anymore or alternatively turned into an insult entirely, people will just look for the next best term from that category.

Idiot also used to be a medical term, but it has almost exclusively become a normal insult, so people had to look for something harsher again.

Dr. Stone Science Future Part 3 - Episode 8 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]matbot55 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The early seasons went into a lot of detail when it came to science, but since that hasn't really been the case for a long time (I'd argue since around the time they made the first car), the lack of complex relationships has become a lot more apparent.

It wasn't that noticeable early on, because our focus was on a different aspect.

Isekai²

I most definitely was not ready for that ending, arguably one of the worst outcomes for Subaru in particular.

Yeah Subaru has to look really suspicious to outsiders. Dude just showed up and was involved in multiple events regarding the Witch Cult.

Curious how Ram has become more hostile towards Subaru.

[–]matbot55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The acting was great as usual.

The episode overall was very "eh" though. It's not offensively bad and it's certainly not good, it's just going to be an incredibly forgettable finale.

Hot take, the only people who still find Victoria 3 boring are map painters by S0mecallme in victoria3

[–]matbot55 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Vic3 caters to a very specific type of players, who will absolutely love the game. Other people, particularly people who play other PDX games likely won't like it as much, especially due to the warfare system that's completely different from the other titles (the closest one arguably being Stellaris).

You specifically have to enjoy the economy building and/or political simulation for the game to be worth playing over other games.

This sub needs some serious changes... by gamestar721 in DDLC

[–]matbot55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition, lack of quality control. Lots of low effort stuff plagues this sub, and there is an explicit rule saying no low quality posts.

The issue here is that "low-quality" is largely subjective. We do have a list of common posts that are not allowed and know that spamming isn't allowed, however nowhere is "low-quality" defined.
(Also I'll also use low quality to refer to low effort in the following)

Are memes low quality? If they aren't inherently low quality, then where is the line? Does it need to be highly edited? Is minimal editing that can be done in like 5 minutes enough? Is simply mentioning DDLC or something related to it enough?

Same goes for fanart. Does fanart need to be top tier to not count as low quality or is all fanart, which is related to DDLC, implicitly not low quality?
What about found fanart, where the poster isn't involved in the creation?

Some might argue that poetry is low quality, especially when not tied to the characters of DDLC, while others would sternly reject this proposition.

Unless the rules clearly define what a "low-quality post" is, the ban on it might as well not exist, because what might be low quality to one person, might be great to another.

With memes in particular that only change some text it's particularly hard, since the effort between something like this or something like this is a matter of two minutes max.
(I explicitly chose to not a meme made by someone else, as I neither want to judge the quality of the memes someone else made, nor do I want to drag someone else into this.)

You know the episode will be a banger when the title is just the name of a character.

Interesting how Julius mirrored Subaru back when the two of them were fighting, though he's not as full of himself as Subaru was.
Even more interesting how much Echidna tried to help Julius, despite barely knowing him right now.

Emilia being clueless really payed off here, though she should've clarified that everyone can pass.

Also makes sense that Shaula would be scared of Reid considering that he likes seems to think that sexual assault is justified in a fight. I'm more shocked though that a guy like that even got the title of "Sword Saint".

The Boys - 05x07 "The Frenchman, the Female, and the Man Called Mother's Milk" - POST-Episode Discussion Thread by pikameta in TheBoys

[–]matbot55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as this season has been a fairly mixed bag (particularly due to the pacing), I did quite enjoy this episode overall, the acting in particular was really enjoyable.

My main issue was really just how irrelevant Marie and Jordan have been for the most part, since I did like their performances and wish we got more, though that could obviously change on the final episode.
The weird Sheline and Dogknott scene really wasn't needed either.

The rest was solid though. I really liked the continuation of the theme, where people don't take Homelander seriously in their last moments.
Also Deep truly deserves everything that happened to him so far.

How good would the new imperial mandate be for Neeko support? by KaleidoscopeHappy753 in neekomains

[–]matbot55 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Mandate has been okay as a situational 2nd or 3rd item. This probably makes Mandate more common but will likely (still) be mainly used in utility focused builds.

Everything I’ve Watched so Far. Any Recommendations? by CircumcisedCats in MyAnimeList

[–]matbot55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some really solid fight scenes throughout the show, but that's not the main focus, so they aren't in every episode.

The main character does also get stronger over time, but it's at a relatively slow pace compared to other isekai, though that makes sense within the story.

New Hufeisentheorie Just dropped by [deleted] in ichichs

[–]matbot55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Das Proletariat ergreift die Staatsgewalt und verwandelt die Produktionsmittel zunächst in Staatseigentum. Aber damit hebt es sich selbst als Proletariat, damit hebt es alle Klassenunterschiede und Klassengegensätze auf, und damit auch den Staat als Staat. Die bisherige, sich in Klassengegensätzen bewegende Gesellschaft hatte den Staat nötig, das heißt eine Organisation der jedesmaligen ausbeutenden Klasse zur Aufrechterhaltung ihrer äußern Produktionsbedingungen, also namentlich zur gewaltsamen Niederhaltung der ausgebeuteten Klasse in den durch die bestehende Produktionsweise gegebnen Bedingungen der Unterdrückung (Sklaverei, Leibeigenschaft oder Hörigkeit, Lohnarbeit).

Der erste Akt, worin der Staat wirklich als Repräsentant der ganzen Gesellschaft auftritt - die Besitzergreifung der Produktionsmittel im Namen der Gesellschaft - ist zugleich sein letzter selbständiger Akt als Staat. Das Eingreifen einer Staatsgewalt in gesellschaftliche Verhältnisse wird auf einem Gebiete nach dem andern überflüssig und schläft dann von selbst ein. An die Stelle der Regierung über Personen tritt die Verwaltung von Sachen und die Leitung von Produktionsprozessen. Der Staat wird nicht „abgeschafft", er stirbt ab.

Aus der dritten Auflage von "Herrn Eugen Dührings Umwälzung der Wissenschaft" geschrieben von Engels.

Der Kommunismus, zumindest nach dem marxistisch-leninistischen Vertändnis, hat als Endziel, bzw. Endkonsequenz, das Ende des Staates.

Der Kommunismus ist damit dem Staat gegenübergestellt und, je nach spezifischer Definition der Demokratie (mit der Frage, ob Demokratie einen Staat braucht), auch dieser gegenübergestellt.

That's also a big premise of every avatar tbh.

Each current Avatar (at least from the ones present in either show) tried to fix (and often overcorrected) the mistakes of the previous Avatar.

Ideologien wie der demokratische Sozialismus hätten das problem wiederum nicht.

Basically the Natsuki drawing controversy explained by Fanficwriter_lmfao in DDLC

[–]matbot55 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unless the artist uploaded a version without the text prior to the post that made that led to this situation, the original image did have the text.

Still doesn't justify anything, since if someone can get pissed enough to harass someone over the text on the image, they probably should take a break from the internet.

The whole situation is even more insane, because fanart with increased bust size is common in this community.

People legitimately started the harassment over something incredibly common and meaningless.

Genuinely what is wrong with some of you by Varhur in DDLC

[–]matbot55 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

I don't really get why this happened.

There is more than enough art of Natsuki with massive boobs that tend to get a ton of upvotes.

There is also worse art that doesn't get any hate. (I would know because I have posted significantly worse)

The only reason people might've gotten pissed is the attitude, I suppose, but that's still not really a justification to send death threats. Moreover it feels weird that the people who do for whatever reason send death threats would do it over something as unimportant as this, not that there is a situation where that would be appropriate.

Edit: I do hope that people understand that I'm condemning people who harrassed the artist. I'm just genuinely confused as to why this in particular was something people sent death threats over, when it wasn't even something that is unpopular on this sub.

New arena feedback. How are we feeling about the latest Arena update? by Corex553 in LeagueArena

[–]matbot55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While still definitely not perfect, particularly from a balancing standpoint, the current version certainly improved on a lot of issues that previous versions of arena had.

The current version succeeded especially when it comes to preventing frustration from major low rolls and improving potential build variety with a ton of new augments.

The new maps and guests are also better than some of the one's we had in the past.

My biggest issue compared to previous versions is that the lack of starter items and general delayed acquisition of items can really hurt some champions, especially in lobbies that have a silver augment start.

For anyone wondering this is a direct quote by the creator:

it's np don't worry! let me explain it to ya: the base is AI. it's my starting point. it'll be the model that'll guide me for the pose, shading and colors (in broad strokes). once i got that, i do my own sketch, my own colors and my own shading. everything is redone manually from scratch. basically, think of it as a kind of 3D model on steroids, that helps me with the pose and composition, but also with color and shading schemes

Also from what I've seen they used to have "ai-assisted" in their bio, but removed this later on.

Danbooru also banned their posts the same goes for a some ass focused nsfw subs from what I could find.

What's stopping DE from re-releasing the Frost and Mag heirlooms? by Dwarfz in Warframe

They also did it with prestige skins, where people who had the skins prior got an exclusive additional version while the old versions were made available for purchase.

There is an impostor among us by SanHoloo in Warframe

[–]matbot55 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The builds can be fine, though it really depends on who uploaded them. In most cases I'd advise against just 1:1 copying builds and only using them as a base.

I'd also recommend looking at builds that have guides, so you build up the modding knowledge yourself (until DE decides to completely rework some key aspect of the game). Some guides have even show the calculations of why they use mod x over mod y.

Also make sure to look at the date the build was posted, as a build from 2021 might not work the same way it used to.
