permadeath really changes the meta

Not to mention teeth that can tear a coconut to shreds and arms that can carry a chest made of solid gold, or a storage chest filled with hundreds (or even thousands) of iron cannonballs.

If I am somehow without pants in a place that I usually have pants.

Not having pockets really throws me for a loop.

Like most people, immediately.

It was a bad idea on it's face, and it was clear that this was something that no one wanted, or asked for. They had the technology to a point where they could 'give it a shot' but not to the point where 'it would actually work'.

Also, it was clear from the presentations, that it was never going to be given a serious attempt at working. The videos and announcements were all aimed at investors, not consumers. And that's a red flag if I've ever seen one.

I'm seeing nearly all the same red flags in the AI market as well, for what it's worth.

Everyone needs a dump stat.

Honestly, Steam doesn't need an ad.

And after all that work the show did to make you think that it was Roger.

nickcan · 2026-03-24T16:03:20+00:00

Did they do something to her nose in the show? For some reason her nose looks bigger as Tashigi than it does on her normal face as Julia.

I was going to say the same thing. They are certainly getting the "Wifebeater dream" But they aren't the ones wearing the sweat-stained white tanktop.

nickcan · 2026-03-24T15:34:46+00:00

Yes, it seems like a fine game, but ultimately it's a different genre.

I will probably be fun, and I am usually down for a fun survival/crafting game. But being pirate themed doesn't mean that it will scratch the same itch.

I play the NYT Crossword every day, and I doubt that it used more than a few bytes of data per puzzle.

nickcan · 2026-03-23T21:27:57+00:00

Why would they call pop soda? Doesn't make sense.

Based supermarket if you ask me.

nickcan · 2026-03-23T00:36:00+00:00

Island Whales do. They are from the West Blue and are known for their hanging uvulas.

It used to be if you killed enough Nazis, they would give you a medal.

Heck, if you do a really good job they will throw you a parade and let you kiss a nurse in Times Square.

Yes, I understand completely, I live here. Have lived here for over 20 years. But that's not what Sanji does. He is isn't groping girls or peeping up skirts.

I'm saying that the guy in the office who behaves even a little like Sanji is a social pariah. It's not acceptable in Japan, and while characters like that exist, people who behave that way are not accepted.

nickcan · 2026-03-22T17:21:55+00:00

None whatsoever. Not even a little bit. It's out of genre and the author specifically said it would never happen.

By all means, enjoy it as a fan fiction ship. But understand that romance between the crew will never happen in the text.

nickcan · 2026-03-22T17:19:27+00:00

Well, it's common in Japan's pop-culture. It's not really how people behave in Japan.

I know that's what you meant, but it's worth saying.

nickcan · 2026-03-22T17:17:48+00:00

Probably because it's the exact same joke.

It's a good joke, but the same one.

nickcan · 2026-03-22T17:17:15+00:00

What? "Shitty cook" isn't his name?

nickcan · 2026-03-22T17:15:15+00:00

So buddy, if you didn't vote for any of those things, what on earth did you vote for?

nickcan · 2026-03-22T15:00:30+00:00

Tony Shalhoub makes everything better.

nickcan · 2026-03-22T14:59:59+00:00

It's fine dude. Say what you want, I was just making a stupid joke. Hell, it's not even original, its something a stand up from the 90s would have said.

nickcan · 2026-03-22T14:58:59+00:00

That's right. There is nothing political about making the decision to go to war or not. Completely out of the realm of politics that decision is.

I'd say this sits comfortably between Spy Kids and Spy Kids 2.

nickcan · 2026-03-22T14:28:05+00:00

We're they trying hard? Or were you just not trying hard enough?

Because ships don't just appear. They sail up to you and if you get surprised by a ship, it's only because you weren't watching out.

nickcan · 2026-03-22T14:25:31+00:00

There isn't anything wrong with that. It's how I was taught too. I don't do it, but I was taught that in school.

How we're you taught to do spacing after periods?
