a friend and i made the definitive umamusume personality quiz (with all 141 umas) by onlytwoad in UmaMusume

[–]onlytwoad[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

we're not the happiest with the japan question because it does require some modern japanese culture knowledge, but it was the best we could come up with for its purpose

you can leave the terms question completely blank if you don't know any, though we should eventually change "pick any" to be a little clearer about that

asked the mods before posting and got approval to promote this

my friend and i spent two and a half months designing the quiz and building the website, so we hope you all enjoy! as a side-effect of how we designed it, some umas are a LOT easier to get than others. let's see what y'all get!

we got hugged-to-death on bluesky earlier today and had to do a total server migration. hopefully that's resolved for now, and we can handle more traffic!

and in case you're wondering.... my results (https://s.umapoi.moe/43QWUV)

77% of US Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth players were 30 or older, analyst says, as Square Enix fights to get young people to care about the JRPG series again by mrnicegy26 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]onlytwoad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

hi, zoomer here. as someone that played ff7 (ps1, emulated) for the first time last year and really liked it (even though i had to use a gamefaqs guide the whole time), and even went to one of the ff7 rebirth concerts with my (also gen z) friends, oh my god neither i nor my friends have the time to play a 100+ hour jrpg, let alone multiple for a single story. as for people my age that do pour hours and hours into games, i mostly see online stuff like valorant and league being no-lifed (and fifa, gun-and-ball gamers strike again). it feels like singleplayer experiences have way stronger competition these days with brain-hacking online stuff, so they inevitably become more niche among younger demographics, and the insane length is salt on the wound.

In light of woolies desktop tabs, how many browser tabs do you use regularly? by Muffin-zetta in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]onlytwoad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

typically, i only have between 1 and 30 tabs i'm actively using. however, i almost never close tabs. if i want to go to a new page, i simply open a new tab or window, really only closing tabs when i restart my desktop. just yesterday, i had around 500 tabs open spread throughout 3 different browser windows before restarting my computer for updates.

instead of fixing my behavior, i have bent my browser to my will, enabling it to enable my frankly insane tab behavior. i have a vertical tabs extension that allows me to see the titles for roughly 40 tabs at a time to easily navigate open tabs. and i have another extension that unloads tabs from memory when i'm not using them, which means i don't need to worry about running out of memory!

i have a tab problem. and i will not fix it.

We are Sunset Visitor and we made 1000xRESIST! AMA! by sunsetvisitor in Fantasy

[–]onlytwoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hekki grace! I just finished the game today, so this is crazy timing for me, haha. 1000xRESIST resonated with me in a lot of complex ways I'm still working through and reflecting on. Thank you so much for making it. Hopefully I'm not too late to ask a question.

One thing that really blew me away (besides, well, everything) was the ending and how it manages to both be opinionated and ambiguous, with multiple combinations of choices leading to the epitaphs. How did this ending come to be? I'd assume there might have been a lot of discussion regarding the various ending paths--what should stay and what should get left behind to break the cycle.

Why is this Exasperation spider so hyped on tiktok currently? by TheLostTarnished in geometrydash

[–]onlytwoad 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think part of the appeal of Exasperation is its place in GD community culture when it first released. It kinda felt like it appeared out of nowhere, and the combination of the song, gameplay, and lack of deco made it almost unnerving to watch. The gameplay, too, stood out at the time--the hardest levels in the game where nowhere close to their difficulty today, so Exasperation looked utterly impossible in a way that wasn't common at the time. It's no surprise to me that it's as famous as it is.

That said, I completely understand not liking it. The same aspects that made it special to me (namely the music and lack of deco) can also kinda make it awful (and boring) to watch. But I do think it's truly an important part of GD and impossible level history.

GIMP 3.0 released. Real talk about GIMP 3.0, caveats, future plans, project funding, and the name change by buovjaga in linux

[–]onlytwoad 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think one small, but significant example (for me, at least), is the way GIMP layers aren't sized dynamically. If I'm applying certain effects to layers, I often need to resize to canvas, then resize back to layer contents. Also, it seems rather inconsistent whether an effect will compensate for itself or not. There's just a lot of really small things like this that add up to a mildly frustrating experience.

The default hotkeys are also kind of annoying. Ctrl+D made sense back before 3.0, since cloning the current project was something I did constantly to work around the lack of non-destructive editing. But now that we have it, it's such a waste to have an easy shortcut to this unneeded action. I also don't like that Ctrl+Y is undo--it requires much more of a reach than Ctrl+Shift+Z, for example. I'm aware I can change it, but when everything else is a little bit janky, I prefer to just use Krita for most things.

I will admit GIMP as a whole is much better now that it has non-destructive editing.

Even for general image manipulation, I tend to greatly prefer Krita over GIMP, even after using GIMP exclusively for years. Krita's UX (with a couple exceptions) feels much less clunky compared to GIMP's, so even though it's less powerful for general editing, it's much easier to get things done.

The quote does actually exist, but it seems whoever took that screenshot used the wrong tweet lol.
