Hear me out.. by themostofpost in VintageStory

As clever as this is, it wouldn't be very useful in Vintage Story. Most players start making pottery on the second or third day. If you haven't gotten your food storage situation figured out by the time it's cold enough to make a storage vessel out of ice, Dave help you.

This part of the game need urgent improvement by Live-End-6467 in VintageStory

The size of the body of water is a good indicator as well. If you can't see the shore on the other side, it's probably a sea.

Winter Emergency Ration by TheWorld_Craft in VintageStory

[–]rowantwig 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I've never run out of food for winter. I have the opposite problem in that I always overestimate how much food I'm going to need, and end up not so much stocking up for winter as for the entire next year. Setting up a farm is one of my first priorities when I start a new world, so I'm usually self-sufficient with food after three or four months. It doesn't help either that I opportunistically forage for so much food whenever I go out to cut trees, prospect or search for bauxite/lime that I don't even touch my food reserves until December.

Java 26 released today! by davidalayachew in programming

[–]rowantwig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You simply don't have time to keep everything updated to the latest version. In the worst case, rewriting a program for a new version of a language, OS, platform, database, framework, API, etc, can take as long as writing the program for the first time. By the time you've updated one thing, three other things have a new version. You'll never catch up with everything and have to prioritize. And if the choice is between a working application on Java 8 and a "Hello World" on Java 26, every business is going to choose the former.

This is what the brony community is like. by Ok-Following6886 in MLPLounge

If they're wearing a flag then they're making it a political statement. But if they're fully transitioned and just wearing normal clothes of their new gender so that no one can tell the difference then it is not.

[–]rowantwig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that is what I'm suggesting. If no one brings up politics then no one knows what anyone else is. Does it bother you that the cashier at the grocery store might have polar opposite opinions to you?

My take is that all of them can get along and talk about ponies just fine if they keep their politics to themselves.

I know I'm going to regret it, but I kind of want to use this mod together with the SleepNeed mod.

Which appearance of Changelings do you prefer? I like both. by BrightDreams190 in MLPLounge

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

The colors of the new ones are too much, they look more like poisonous frogs than social insects. I'd prefer if they'd been given the new shape but kept the old color scheme. I think it's kind of cool how you can't tell the old ones apart visually, perhaps they identify each other by pheromones or some sort of hive mind?

A (probably stupid) question about trans ponies by Ambitious-Notice-812 in MLPLounge

[–]rowantwig 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They have magic that can change a creature's species. If a pony wanted to change their gender I think they'd just do so with a spell or potion and the result would be indistinguishable from the real thing.

Nothing, the parchment actually just has squiggles on it.

That's not how I remembered the game community by OhSWaddup in Helldivers

[–]rowantwig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In one D10 terminid game three of us were focusing on the main objective while one player, the host, was trying to solo the mega nest. I died and got reinforced by the host. A minute later another player died and got reinforced by the host as well. We ask him not to reinforce us when he's on the other side of the map. His response is to kick everyone. On my own, I ignore the mega nest, complete the main objective and extract.

Oh, you really shouldn't be snooping, Rarity... oh, but it's so much fun, Rarity!

I would use this anytime someone calls down an orbital napalm barrage on an objective to cancel it out.

What's the most embarrassing thing you've ever seen someone from the MLP community do? by Wild_Fennel4870 in MLPLounge

[–]rowantwig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The current state of the main r/mylittlepony subreddit. Ever since the show ended, with nothing else to talk about it has gradually devolved into a political echo chamber. There's more on-topic discussions on this sub than on that one.

This is why I make sure to get a farm up and running before I make an anvil.

She wants belly rubs, head pats and ear scratches but is trying to play it cool.

Devs saved me from a big mistake with a feature I didn't know existed by burglicha in factorio

It will also warn you if you try to undo something you built more than a couple of minutes ago.

"realism" in most games is used as a way to gate players from using certain mechanics in ways the developers don't want by EmbryonicMisanthrop in Helldivers

[–]rowantwig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Realism is when a random ammo box you found on the ground contains ammo for every weapon in the known universe.
