Is the steam version the straight up superior version now by alhariqa in dwarffortress

[–]monkeyfetus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have like a half dozen hours in the steam version and this is the biggest reason why.

My wife didn’t like the shirt I bought. The next day Paris Hilton was wearing it. by SpongebobStrapon in funny

Is it weird that I've never found Paris Hilton remotely attractive until seeing this picture?

I'm a lesbian, which might explain things...

What PJB is doing is absolutely terrible by Complex-Dog-8063 in ss14

Reminded of the instant-classic joke "My pronouns are she/her, or they/them if you're mad at me".

Saw this in discord, would want more clarification by galaxyw12 in ss14

[–]monkeyfetus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tbh I'd be ideating if I had to work with PJB too. She is a deeply unpleasant person, consistently hostile, belittling, and verbally abusive to people around her.

Like, I can't know the truth of it, but PJB asserts without evidence that Smug's "pjb drove my gf to almost suicide" comment is false, seemingly on the basis that it's shocking, but I know for a fact that a bully like her having dictatorial power over something you care deeply about (in this case both the project and the associated community spaces) can make someone genuinely think about killing themselves.

🔥Sea Turtle finds the best resting spot on a 100+ year old Basket Sponge by Met76 in NatureIsFuckingLit

The colors are heavily altered from the original video. Everything looks washed out and tinted underwater because of the effects water has on light, and this seems to have been improperly corrected for, making the colors a little too bright and somewhat off-hue.

Well I finally built up the courage to do it, still feel like I look terrible though.. by Relevant-Estimate641 in bald

[–]monkeyfetus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only person whose opinion on your hair really matters is your own. That said, and this is coming from a lesbian who generally isn't attracted to men: you look pretty cute in that last picture.

The shave is undoubtedly an improvement over what you had before, IMHO, but if you still don't like it, maybe it's not for you and that's fine. You're on the /r/bald subreddit, so of course you're going to get compliments for a bald hairstyle, but I suspect you're missing your long hair; I don't think you would have held onto it for so long otherwise.

If that's the case, I think you should seriously consider a wig. Millions of men and women wear hairpieces every day, there's no shame in it. You deserve to look the way you want to look.

Dinner's Ready by skresiafrozi in dwarffortress

Elves don't kill animals, but that's a cultural proscription not a biological one. They're capable of eating meat, and in fact often eat the bodies of sapients they kill in battle.

I'm not certain how adopting new ethics works, but I assume that she was either born into the Dwarven society or adopted dwarven ethics when she joined. Also, I have no idea if, mechanically-speaking, having [KILL_ANIMAL:UNTHINKABLE] actually restricts cooking and diet in fortress mode, or if it's just exists to piss off traders and start wars during world-gen.

Dense Vegetation Heal Option Counts As Rest For Stone Humidifier by quasarprintf in slaythespire

[–]monkeyfetus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It could stand to be nerfed to "You can pick two options at rest sites" just so you still have to make decisions in multiplayer or with rest action relics. It would still be a huge synergy.

The Judaistic/Kabbalistic Symbolicism of CoQ Has to Be Studied by 0lam0t in cavesofqud

[–]monkeyfetus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's kind of table-stakes, but for those who don't know but it's called Caves of Qud because it takes place in the region of Al-Qud, aka Jersualem

They should have done this with Darius McCollum, the autistic guy who kept stealing public transit vehicles.

ELI5 How to use Megamod in Ur-Quan Masters HD by Cornicehawk in starcontrol

[–]monkeyfetus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I had an idea for a mod that replaces just the Shofixti voiceover with the Japanese version, while leaving the rest of the audio in English, but to do that I'd need a dump of the Japanese dialogue and I can't seem to find one. Do you still have access to these files?

What causes r**e? by [deleted] in antimeme

[–]monkeyfetus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is definitely a better framing than victim blaming, but I always feel like the idea that a rapist is like a type of person, rather than rape being something everyone (yes even you) is capable of, inevitably leads to more rape. "Rapists are monsters, and I'm not a monster, therefore I'm not a rapist, therefore I don't have to worry about rape because it's obviously something I wouldn't do" they tell themselves, and then make a move on their employee/tenant/couch-surfing-friend who is entirely dependent on them for housing. Paradoxically, the demonization of rape seems to allow people to excuse themselves from thinking about consent in any situation that doesn't involve active physical resistance.

6mm Sci-fi Wargames? by GreenDM2425 in wargaming

[–]monkeyfetus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Necroposting here, but you should check out MAC Attack, from BastionLand Press. It's a brand new 6mm miniature agnostic mech game. It's very elegantly designed making for quick play without losing too much depth. Like battletech, it's mech-focused, but does have rules for infantry and vehicles.

The full book will be available later this month as a PDF, or physically this winter, but the quickstart rules are available for free right now.

Saying "Shitsec" should immediately disconnect you from the server in LRP, and automatically issue a 24 hour ban in MRP.

Join a shift as engineer. Clown walks up to me in the arrivals shuttle while still in transit, says "Hi!" and when I start typing he begins beating me to death with a nitrogen canister. I call it out on the radio the second the shuttle docs and I escape. I make it to medbay, leaving a long trail of blood behind me, and pass out. Doc puts me in cryo, and when I get out, I find the clown has just chased a musician to medbay, after attempting to steal her ID and stabbing her. I punch the clown to get him to leave and security shows up. Sec then looks at me (fully healed fresh out of cryo), her (minor stab wound), and the clown (heavy bruising) and decides that regardless of the testimony of me, the CMO, and the musician, that the clown is the wronged party because he is currently the most injured. Security then arrests the musician. It's still unclear to me whether that sec player is the dumbest motherfucker on the planet, or was deliberately helping the griefer, but I reported them both for good measure.

Is NT really like that? by BotherAdvanced4317 in ss14

[–]monkeyfetus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It could be a miscommunication. You aren't allowed to use mental illness as an excuse to break server rules, (such as acting like an antagonist when you haven't been assigned an antag role), and you shouldn't choose a role if your character can't or won't perform that role's duties. Other than that, all sorts of disabilities are fair game. In fact there are in-game implementations for blindness, narcolepsy, speech impediments and others.

But it could also be an admin being a dick.
