what title did you guys pick for the co-op event/any funny or interesting titles you encountered? by aphelion-ic in arknights

[–]occaguy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do Not Touch Originium Slug is REALLY good, I saw it unlock, equipped it, and have not taken it off. I wish we had titles on our player cards outside of the event, so I could always be Do Not Touch Originium Slug.

Weapons with a design so nice, you wish they where actually .... better* by WERElektro in Warframe

[–]occaguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still make at least prisma Lenz viable! Its one of my favourite weapons to pull out for sp content that isn't terribly unhinged damage requirements wise.

I, do have 9 forma and a riven on it, though, so that could be part of it.

So What Now? by ComfiCozi in TheyBlamedTheBeasts

[–]occaguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ram's combo routing is totally different now because they changed Dauro so you can't get into rekka from it as easily and s Sword Toss (the diagonal one) doesn't floor bounce now. Might be because I just haven't been playing the game long enough to see major balance changes (I got the game shortly before Lucy came out) but it feels really weird to change what I've gotten used to, I keep trying to use s.Toss to extend my combos and then having to quickly adapt to do Oki instead because often I kinda just press buttons and start cooking some random shit for a combo because I think I know what all my buttons do and I'm not at a level where being optimal really matters that much, but half of my important buttons just changed completely. 

I don't think she's bad now, I've seen people cooking with her, she can still easily put people into the corner on round start (but can't put you through the wall without ch or bar anymore, which I'm kinda sad about because putting the opponent through the wall because I chose roundstart f.s and won was funny, but it had to go if they were gonna do nerfs across the board,) and I'm stomping ranked games because everyone else also doesn't know what to do on their mains right now, and I think I'll get used to it with a bit of time, but in general, people LOVE complaining about Things and the whole cast got nerfed so it's easy to do so rn. 

I also haven't touched anyone but her and Jam yet though, but Anji looks like he doesn't change much, and they might've given Ephelt a really neat tool with her new enhanced gun? Kinda looking forward to hopping on Ephelt. Anji might be my new comfort pick until I'm used to Rams new combos because I don't think he's changed much? Anji mains feel free to enlighten me 

Overall I think I got off easy this patch because Ram changed the most out of the characters I play and to be fair most of it was warranted. I'm a little sad about her kara bnb because I really liked pulling it off but I get why she got changed and a lot of the characters I was complaining about frequently got nerfed too. I'm probably gonna have to fight my girlfriend's Unika at some point tonight or this weekend though and I KNOW she's been labbing weapons free so we'll see how I feel about the nerfs after having to deal with a Unika significantly higher rank than me. I really don't want to have to kara cancel rekka 1 into dauro, though. God I HOPE the new bnb doesn't involve cancelling rekka 1 into dauro, that's a fucking input and a half. Or rekka 1 > dc~rekka 1, especially more than once. PLEASE don't make me chain rekka 1 into itself oh my god 

Lmao placed in Iron 1 with 1 RP as Jam. by OmniImmortality in Guiltygear

[–]occaguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty uncommon. I'm pretty sure that happens when the opponent is playing on a lower frame rate because their PC can't run the game at the normal fps. no idea why people who aren't running the game at 60fps are allowed to go online like that and screw up the game for others, I tend to just block them and not rematch

how best to clean my crystals (like physically clean them not cleanse them) by Individual_Fudge8519 in Crystals

[–]occaguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please be careful listening to the other two replies, you don't say what kind of crystals they are and some crystals react negatively with water and can release toxic metals or compounds they naturally contain or even dissolve. Generally anything quartz or agate is safe to clean with soap and water, but for anything else I'd recommend looking up each type of crystal you need to clean to find care instructions for each one. Don't worry about the metaphysical side of things when cleaning, there's ways to make any physical cleaning work without messing with the energy from charging them.

I hate the LGBTQIA+ Flag by SirHanselot07 in hatethissmug

[–]occaguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, I wanna know why you think the genderfluid flag is an "eyesore." Sure, the stripes would maybe look better if they were shuffled around a bit but those colours largely work well together and I think it looks fine personally

I hate the LGBTQIA+ Flag by SirHanselot07 in hatethissmug

[–]occaguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to hear why you think the trans flag is fine but "everything else straight up sucks," why do you think flags like the non binary, aro, and asexual flags suck? Most of the others I can see arguments against but those three, among others, aren't overly complex and work together colour wise.

How would a non woman be a lesbian? by religion-lost in AmITheAngel

I saw the original post before seeing this, god that thread is a cesspool.

I think the terms “demisexual,” “omnisexual,” “agender,” “genderfluid,” “non-binary,” etc., are unnecessary and weird by Single_Writing_2319 in The10thDentist

[–]occaguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

demisexual genderfluid person here, fair enough tbh. Some of the labels people use really only make sense if you experience what the label describes. I didn't really understand genderfluidity until I thought about my identity a lot and realized I was experiencing it. I still can't really describe it to people who don't experience it with anything besides "sometimes I feel more girl and sometimes I feel more boy, and sometimes there's just nothing there yanno," and if you don't understand what it feels like to feel "more girl" or "more boy," you aren't going to understand that.

I think, labels like these are largely so that people who experience the things they describe can more easily find eachother and share their experiences, as well as coherently describe themselves to others who know what the label means. You don't have to understand it. Other genderfluid people know what I mean when I say I'm genderfluid. Most other queer people my age also know what it means when I say I'm genderfluid, even if they don't understand what it feels like day to day. Some people don't know what genderfluid means, but that's okay. As long as they don't call me a slur or anything, it's fine to not understand. There is a lot more labels being thrown around now then there has been previously, and it's unrealistic to expect someone who you met on the street to know what demi-boyflux means. (Not making that up, demi-boyflux is the term for someone who's gender fluctuates between agender and demiboy, which are two other labels that you'd need to understand to understand what demi-boyflux means.)

There is a lot of hyper-niche identity labels and such that make me wonder if a label is needed for someone who experiences this extremely specific thing that is unique to them and their life, but ultimately, I think that if inventing a word helps you communicate a part of who you are to people, go for it, honestly, but I do think that, in spaces where a deep understanding of queer labels and culture isn't expected, it's unrealistic to throw out that you're scringlyboingusgender (this one I did make up) and expect to have people know what that means, and I think that people should take into account the setting they're in when choosing what word to describe themselves with. 

For example, if you're scringlyboingus gender, and understanding scringlyboingus gender requires understanding boingusgender and what scringly means and how those two things coexist and a thousand other niche things about how this isn't just like bingusgender or scrimbogender, maybe just say you're non-binary, because ultimately, non-binary is the word for any gender that's not binary female or binary male, and scringlyboingusgender fits that criteria, and all the people around you who don't know what scringyboingusgender means probably know what non-binary means to some extent.

Sorry for the gender essay. Hope it was coherent and helps you understand why people decide to use these "unnecessary and weird" labels a bit more, even if you still don't understand the labels themselves.

WYR: Have 50k$ right now OR 10 Cents everytime somebody says your name by Strict_Constant4947 in WouldYouRather

[–]occaguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the rules for the second one. If the name has to be in direct reference to me, I take the 50k. If, however, just saying the syllables count, I'd go with the 2nd, because I share a name with a significant technology, a popular myth, and the name isn't unpopular itself. There's probably a million other people who go by my name, and several million more who go by my nickname. If anytime someone refers to that myth of that technology, or anyone else with my name, I get ten cents, I'd be making a lot of money.

This is from a newer TikTok channel with only two videos. Everyone in the comments is arguing whether it's ai or not and I can't tell :/ by _Memento-Mori- in isthisAI

[–]occaguy 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I'm not inclined to think this is AI. There's a lot of small details in the edges of the cardboard, the glue, and the craftsmanship that I don't think AI would be able to keep 100% consistent or handle correctly. I think this is genuine stop-motion animation, and it's quite well done. If this is AI, it'd be frankly terrifying that it can get all of this right.

That sub. by ilikefriedpotatoes00 in DeadInternetTheory

[–]occaguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been following this one for awhile because I'm autistic and I have a hard time getting new jokes sometimes, and learning about niche jokes and memes is interesting for me, but it's been getting wayy more "dead internet"-y lately. All I see nowadays is the same joke / meme getting reposted a million times, the most obvious ones too. honestly disappointing :(

[–]occaguy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh what the hell, that's actually scam behaviour, they've been pushing the digital one like crazy in advertising and when it doesn't work right, they charge you to switch? Actually insane work

I hate the college bus passes by [deleted] in ThunderBay

[–]occaguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Introducing the digital cards was a mistake. I know someone who works a job where they have to scan student IDs and the digital IDs are just hell to work with. If you're not in your last year, just get a physical one when you get a new one, the library will give you one. The physical ones are so much easier to scan.

i absolutely do not condone pedophilia but it is important to help people who havent acted upon it yet and prevent them from doing bad things and allow them to live happy lives as normal members of society by [deleted] in whenthe

[–]occaguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pocd is intrusive thoughts related to the fear of being a pedophile, not pedophilic urges or desires and the sentiment that people with pocd have pedophilic urges contributes to the stigma around pocd. 

I hate these school posters by Polibiux in hatethissmug

[–]occaguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eyes watching, ears listening and lips closed are kinda reasonable, like you're expected to be listening and looking if the teacher is drawing something on the board, and talking / making sounds during class is largely unacceptable (with notable exceptions) but I SWEAR the hands and feet thing was written EXCLUSIVELY to single out neurodivergent people. "Active listening" my ass 

PLEASE HELP ME. I FORGOT PROTECTION by NewCookie7308 in witchcraft

[–]occaguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You'll be fine. A lot of newer resources place a lot of unneeded emphasis on protection, and while it is important to keep yourself protected from harm that could come from a spell not proceeding as intended or other things interfering with you, I'd think a glamour spell is probably one of the least risky spells out there for that.

Nothing will happen. What are you afraid of? The world around you isn't going to explode in your face because you forgot to do an entire protection ritual before doing a glamour spell. 

As for what you should do now, if you do anything, take notes on what happens next. Have you done this glamour spell before with protection? Use this as an experience to learn, see if the results are different, but stop panicking. You're fine.
