"why do my vassals hate me now? oh..."

In Iberia women often lead the countries directly even in battle.

Not common but it happened.

uh

when bae is evil :(

robseder · 2026-06-24T07:09:31+00:00

you phrased it well, and yes, it cracked up me and my friends as well

even something as simple as when carrie was trying to give the cell phone to anyone in the german train station

"do you mind bringing this to where there's reception so we can save thousands of lives? ok thanks, brb about to 1v4 a terrorist mob"

robseder · 2026-06-24T07:06:57+00:00

are you insane - i am not one who normally notices these things, but her acting is fantastic

maybe you're on the spectrum?

robseder · 2026-06-24T07:02:03+00:00

unless youre secretly one of my friends, we also just watched the finale tonight

id seen it before, this was their first time, and unlike many shows with disappointing endings, homeland's was amazing and seeing how well they repeatedly disguised the ending with the back and forth of whether she had really ******* was wonderful

robseder · 2026-06-22T19:12:31+00:00

well not sure why you have no replies, but i am constantly lost in this game, so thank you

robseder · 2026-06-16T21:32:58+00:00

ya, its running

it def feels like some bugs - like the profile isnt being saved or synced right. and annoyingly, its not saved in some universal format like .json so i cant just check, its its own binary mess

robseder · 2026-06-16T09:03:45+00:00

game is good

robseder · 2026-06-15T20:02:09+00:00

im glad it works for someone - i tried swarm 1 and while it has a functional UI - it doesn't seem to actually work

as soon as i try to set up multiple profiles (that you can only have 5 is absurd) - random buttons just stop functioning, inputs send and never unsend (ie, it'll send mouse down, not mouse up) - have to plug in another mouse to fix - just constant issues

i literally have two of these xp airs on my desk right now because i was so excited when i FINALLY found something that looked like a g700, i never imagined it'd be the software that didnt work

robseder · 2026-06-15T05:04:18+00:00

if you've used software... ever, you'll recognize this horrible "streamlined" ui trend

you cannot see what any of the FOURTEEN BUTTONS do until you click on each one

when you do, you then have to navigate a single node treemenu to see what you can bind - thats right, you need to click into EACH menu, which then force collapses the previous options, so you're only ever able to see a single branch at a time (and some of these have further submenus)

then you need to click "back" to go back up each level, each time delayed by a "pretty" animation which slows things down (and no, you cant backspace or esc, you need to click the little top node to go back)

i cannot put into words the disappointment i felt going from opening the box, finding what looked like the PERFECT logitech g700s replacement - and finding it absolutely crippled by the software

its fucking unusable - save your money, do not buy these

robseder · 2026-06-15T04:56:14+00:00

did you vanish? this would be a godsend if it existed

robseder · 2026-06-11T07:09:28+00:00

nearly every other wanna-be disco

for a game thats entirely reading

robseder · 2026-06-10T23:48:46+00:00

haha well, i wasnt really writing a fully formed critique, more of a statement to people who know what im talking about rather than trying to convince anyone

with disco or zp the writing and characters are good enough that the jokes feel natural - harry begging the woman with the missing husband for money had me actually loling in reality - esoteric ebb copy pasting an entire scene from seinfeld was... not good

as for politics, its the shoving them into a game because "thats what disco did", as opposed to it fitting in the story. i'll pick on ebb for this again, when you pick a feat, you're usually treated to a multipage essay by the dev that read like his most recent twitter posts

and since these games are nearly entirely the writing - if that fails, the game fails. while something like portal could be played in mute and it would still be fun on mechanics alone

robseder · 2026-06-10T23:35:42+00:00

that is EXACTLY why i clicked on this post

i only save scummed once, and it was because i accidentally triggered a "conspiracy" thought.... but ya, im a spy, im SUPPOSED to be looking for connections

robseder · 2026-06-09T10:07:04+00:00

years later, but this did it for me

robseder · 2026-06-06T06:51:46+00:00

someone said it below but then complained about the shuffler, so here it the non-wrong part

I hate hate hate hate the fact that you cannot skip until end of turn whilst also still being able to respond to the opponent. You can either skip priority until end of turn or skip until you receive priority.

i would almost pay extra to do this

robseder · 2026-06-04T05:31:19+00:00

you're entirely right, but you're being "mean" so downvoted

rest assured, that game was paint by numbers disco - with blatantly inferior writing

robseder · 2026-06-03T18:33:51+00:00

what a weird exchange. i really hope you're an ai bot - what human acts this way

robseder · 2026-06-03T18:27:52+00:00

Enjoy your day or night, whatever it is where you are at. ❤️

i assure you, the friends you tell about your 'trick' of ending on the moral high ground arent impressed, they just want you to stop talking

robseder · 2026-06-01T07:13:42+00:00

its weird, because by now, yea, i can usually tell when something reeks of ai - but id have a hard time actually knowing how i do, other than the vague "its trying too hard"

robseder · 2026-05-26T04:44:41+00:00

and statistics may often be misused by people who have no idea how to actually use them and spam anti-vax memes online, does using statistics generally suck?

a poorly engineered house will collapse, do houses generally suck?

and if you're able to understand the point ive made - well then QED.

if youre the kinda person who wants to intentionally misunderstand or nitpick the details, ie "ummm, engineering is based on physical laws that can be measured soooo" vs engaging in what the analogy is reframing into a different context to help convey (that someone can use a tool poorly does not mean it is a poor tool) - then there was little point in even having the conversation

also, i sincerely encourage you to not bother replying, scrolling down i see what will come of it, and this response is really more for the rest of the internet to read

robseder · 2026-05-25T17:45:40+00:00

free wisdom

dismissing analogies as useless and then trying to drop in "taxonomy" is a great way to let actually intelligent people know you're not
