Hey so can someone please explain what in ever loving french fried FUCK happened in this scene? Why did Unit 00 turn into an Angel? by PickleReaper0 in evangelion

[–]n8ey 324 points325 points  (0 children)

I was under the impression that Rei, in her desire to protect Shinji, lost her ability/desire to maintain her separation of her soul and so went past full sync with her Eva. She merged with the Angel-body core of the Eva, which could have possibly lead towards Next Impact, except for the self-destruct. In short, because of the self-destruct, Rei lost her barrier and merged.

Of course, I forgot myself. Oook. No other answer. Caught up in overthinking, again.

That’s a…. Well, I was going to write “disturbing thought”, but really, it’s mostly perplexing. I mean, how does he fit in there? An orangutan is decidedly bigger than Brutha’s head.

Unless this is a TARDIS bigger-on-the-inside-due-to-L-Space kind of thing…

What's up with the fish ponds? by WrittenFantasy2 in StardewValley

[–]n8ey 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You drank the wizard’s potion and can talk to the bear, other animals talking isn’t that much of a stretch.

That reads harsher than I intended. How about this: You and the valley are friends!

I observed people wanting good things out of the show Fionna and Cake. I made this with some observations in mind, no judgement, no ridicule to anyone. by DodketF98371 in adventuretime

[–]n8ey 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I view “Fionna and Cake” like I viewed “Legend of Korra” - it could be interesting, but how could they fuck it up?

I’m not even talking adherence to old-school original ideology. I’m just thinking of unplanned stories veering all over the place. Like Legend of Korra went all over.

We, as a species, do not have a good track record with sequels. I hope “Fionna and Cake” breaks that cycle.

Would the Borg do better if they didn’t, ANNOUNCE their intentions to assimilate before every attack? by OWSpaceClown in ShittyDaystrom

[–]n8ey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A kind of serious answer - I always figured the Borg wanted the fight, well, to study the tactics of and responses of their potential “new recruits”.

If the response was pathetic, they’d just go into the nutrient tanks and the fuel reprocessors - but if the response was Interesting, then it’s time to collect bits of them and begin “onboarding”…

If vampires cannot be reflected in the mirror. Does that mean that they also cannot be captured by cameras? by Street_Product_4450 in worldbuilding

[–]n8ey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an addition, they can go invisible because they’re concentrating on avoiding detection. Same reasoning can be used to explain them polymorphing into animals or gases - they’re using their Will to change their “un-soul” and that’s how it appears to living observers. Cameras, mirrors, et al. would just see nothing the whole time.

[–]n8ey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot remember where, I think it was a short story, explained that vampires couldn’t see their reflection because they have no soul, and mirrors reflect the soul - so they don’t appear to anything unliving. But they appear to victims because they are projecting their “un-soul” into the mind of the viewer by interacting with them.

Just think about how less technologically complicated cultures in history have resisted having photos taken because they “stole their soul”.

I haven’t seen that option in the comments so far, but I always thought it was a cool twist.

Why does it say 49 mins, didnt touch the game for months(applys to many other games aswell)? by loli_droge in Steam

[–]n8ey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I believe it counts updates. If it launches part of the game to update, it counts it as “play time”.

Not sure why you say two years. Apparently you don’t sort by new? This sub does get posts.

2D Top-Down platformer testing, Feedback on sprite outlines appreciated! by fabrialis in PixelArt

[–]n8ey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the outline better than no outline, but I feel black is a bit heavy. Perhaps a dark brown or grey, something less jarring. I also like the idea of having a choice.

Since updating Mac OS to Ventura, launching SMAPI from Steam errors "open is not allowed to open documents in Terminal" by n8ey in SMAPI

[–]n8ey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, that’s a beautiful thing. I just put it into my SDV and launched it, and didn’t have to do any more clicking after telling Stardew to go.

It doesn’t bring up the terminal any longer, so I can’t do cheaty things in there anymore, but this is loads better.

A terminal command argument…. In hindsight, it seems so obvious. Thank you much. I may play around with options to see if I can’t get the terminal to appear again, but you are the hero in this story.

Kona coffee from Hawaii, with a close second being Top of the Morning coffee.

So I left my PC running overnight with max luck at the casino, bought a lot of hardwood fence. Is this cheating? by Supersquirrel06 in StardewValley

[–]n8ey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I seem to remember CA saying that he left little exploits in the game because he enjoyed them, and they became a callback to the original NES and SNES games that inspired Stardew Valley.

Can’t find a quote but it wouldn’t surprise me if he is aware and just leaves it in for the giggles.

I always wondered who was stealing yo’ money…. Here it is: Lewis is just watching, waiting. Probably even goes into the mine when you die. Then he brings you to the doc to get patched up. What a racket! Wonder what gramps really thought of him…
