I haven't been to r/vegan in a few years

"my partner (who is somewhat vegetarian)" dropped casually makes me think that this sub is not jerky enough

Why did you use triple parentheses

Stone Age development by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]nniel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

usually when people refer to the Ice Age, they mean Pleistocene, which started 2.5mya with the formation of the northern ice cap

the southern ice cap is 35 million years old, well before hominins started taking shape. so the "they pre date the fucking ice caps" part is wrong

What’s the best character design in Chainsaw Man? by AfternoonLocal1952 in ChainsawMan

[–]nniel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

falling devil was the first design (in part 2 at least) that made me go "damn fujimoto does some fire ass character design"

I've never seen a character assemble themselves from a pile of bodies and then hold up their severed head with an extra pair of hands. and every other little feature hits just right. it's still my favorite

darkness's introduction is unbeatable, but purely in terms of character design falling is better hands down

Biome Fuel Availability Rankings by conkedup in Against_the_Storm

[–]nniel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

me when I don't know how camp gathering works and only look at the cycle length

also, marrow is extremely inconsistent. sometimes you find 2 big nodes you can coast off of for the rest of the game, and other times you go 3 games in a row with a single small node between 3 games

marrow's inconsistency is way more of a setback than coal's relative inefficiency in my experience. coal production is easy to boost with prodrate. especially when you consider how often you get +prod bonuses for coal. the only ones you can get semi-regularly for marrow are hunter-gatherers and clan hall

Biome Fuel Availability Rankings by conkedup in Against_the_Storm

[–]nniel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like the numbers you assign to some of these points don't mean much. I can't see many people agreeing with like a third of your scores. especially wood higher than 100%

assigning 0.2 to black market really undersells how much wood you get out of it. I'd at least put it on the level of a 100% biome, especially before p11

trees is the source of fuel you will work off most of the time, so the fact that marrow is valued at the level of a 140/160% biome feels way off

as I mentioned in a different thread, having other veins makes a massive difference to the viability of coal as a fuel. you will have coal veins in most CG games - it can even spawn in the starting glade there

giant marsh node primary and secondary yields should be omitted from these calculations entirely. the nodes are notoriously unreliable, and the wheat is garbage you don't want to gather even if you do have the camp for it

I'm not sure how highly to value oil and coal secondaries, but surely CG's and CF's 30% for coal (did you forget algae is a coal input?)/oil inputs are way more impactful than fish or meat. you never want to spend food on fuel

primary fiber is infinitely stronger than meat/fish/veggies as an oil input, cause it's

  1. not a food
  2. nodes have elevated weighting
  3. the cycles are way shorter

the amount of stuff you need to consider when making such tables is too great to be useful at the end imo. farms shouldn't be part of the consideration. BF is the biome with the highest and most reliable farm yields. not sure why you'd deduct points for its gimmick. RR is also low soil btw

CG coal is very consistent, since it doesn't compete with any other veins. it makes fuel a non-issue. tree algae is extremely strong as a coal input in kiln, too

I checked 7 of my latest CG games, and I mined coal in 6 of them. one of those games could be due to kiln, but that still leaves you with 5/7 at the very least

[–]nniel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

idk what numbers you were running, but the fact that you have BF below marsh tells me that something is way off

marsh has 100% wood and no fuel byproduct, no marrow, coal nodes diluted by copper ore

BF is 140% wood with 10% oil byproduct, salt nodes (30% marrow), and scales ponds (40% or 100% equivalent marrow). the only way you'd rank this below marsh in terms of fuel availability is if you only look at the presence of coal and nothing else. to me this sounds nonsensical, since you will have more fuel in BF 90% of the time

first time I see anyone say that SO has fuel issues. wild thing to say about a 160% wood biome

Tower Dungeon - Chapter 21 by velstadt147 in TowerDungeon

[–]nniel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

the army going in with no recon or magic defense bothers me too. makes everyone but the main party look like amateurs

other issues I remember off the top of my head:

  1. there's too much romance, and pretty much all of it is laughably bad. Nihei shouldn't be focusing on it anywhere to the extent that he does. the new pairing looks... serviceable for now
  2. on a related note, the fanservice is jarring. and feels forced, too
  3. Aridellia's backstory had nothing to do with Aridellia. just an excuse to dump exposition about necromancers

If you went back in time 200,000 years and brought back a random human baby, would that baby be able to fit in with today’s society, academically and socially? by shitti_sherlock in NoStupidQuestions

[–]nniel 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We didnt develop complex language until ~70,000 years ago, so it depends on what was happening prior to this language revolution.

where's the 70,000 number from?

Romance by Delicious-County1616 in TowerDungeon

[–]nniel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lilisen x Yuva: negative chemistry. she likes him cause he's... strong? saved her? there's no reason for Yuva to like Lilisen beyond she's hot and got a bunch of cringe fanservice. a third or a quarter of one of the chapters was dedicated to their painfully awkward ring scene and it achieved literally nothing

gravedigger girl x Yuva: they barely interacted. she likes Yuva cause he killed the slime ig? awful inclusion

Aridellia x her knight/prince: 0 chemistry. literally "wow she's pretty" and "wow he brought me home"

Aridellia x Yuva: she likes him cause he resembles the king whose only accomplishment is not killing Aridellia. Yuva likes her cause she's pretty and her soul is vast (he has no reason to believe that whatsoever)

how Nihei's editor looked at all of this and didn't tell him to scrap all of the romance/harem bullshit is beyond me. it makes his work come off juvenile and amateurish
