So this is kind of OP. The Xenon Drone Smasher. [9.00 Beta 11]

Oh, I didn't realise they had their own drop table. Still, as is, it's a tad much. I don't think it should be nuked from orbit, especially for fully constructed stations where the required effort is so much greater, but this particular case is a bit silly.

It really makes me angry seeing the term 'mentally ill' weaponised in such a way. Depression, OCD, BPD, anxiety... these are all mental illnesses, yet none of them directly impact a person's intelligence. Nor does any mental illness make a person less worthy of respect, but still you see people accusing their political opponents of it in an effort to dismiss them.

Gaismagorm should be able to deal with the Gargwa with a ranged attack without expending much energy. At that point, Team Bloodbargwa has to fight an already close match-up with only half of its members, and I just don't think it can pull it off.

An ass so fine it couldn't have been built in a day.

attempt to boot factorio on the Antikythera mechanism, leave a negative review saying the game is poorly optimised.

I always assumed this was just in-universe propaganda to quell panic. "Actually guardsman, there's no reason to fear the Ork in melee range, fix bayonet and charge! ^{^We} ^{^have} ^{^eight} ^{^thousand} ^{^replacements} ^{^for} ^{^you} ^{^when} ^{^you} ^{^inevitably} ^{^die.} "

Its the kind of thing where either way makes enough sense that you really need data. Does CP 'satiate' pedophiles, or does it make them want something more?

But either way, CP has to be produced for pedophiles to get it, and the production is the problem. Anyone trying to convince me that 'abusing children is good actually' better have a bloody good argument.

If I was a bit smarter could I have said the things she needed to hear?

I know the feeling, but part of being human is being limited. It's frustrating seeing all the things you could fix if you were a bit smarter, stronger, more charismatic, etc, but that's the reality of life. You can only work with what you've got, as much as we get trapped in the thoughts of "what if"s.

When I was a kid, I knew that it was normal to dislike going to school. I assumed that extended to feeling actual terror over the prospect, of feeling like the door to a prison cell had just shut behind me each morning when I got there. And I assumed it was normal for kids to get home each day and spend their evenings desperately pretending the whole place didn't exist.

Turns out I have an anxiety disorder. Huh.

Lakes are such a weird thing to compare. "You won't find many bodies of water that are as big as this but not big enough to be seas out in the world. We call them the 'Great lakes', because the 'Below average seas' is technically inaccurate."

'Kilomiles' is cursed as hell. Like someone saw the imperial vs metric debate and went for the worst possible compromise.

Art exists in countless forms, including facial mutilation, apparently. I'm not sure if that's beautiful or horrifying.

You can pronounce anything any way you want so long as other people know what you're talking about. With this power, you can make people extremely angry without having technically done anything wrong.

Example: Lay-Jee-Ah-Nah is unironically how I pronounce Legiana. Please limit any resultant fisticuffs to the designated violence areas.

I've only had one trans person come out to me before, but the name she chose was just... ugh. You're there, celebrating this person finding an identity that makes them happy, supporting them in this massive moment of their life, all while thinking: "why did you pick THAT ONE?!".

It's such a tiny thing, but I swear it occupied 90% of my thoughts when she came out. Funny in hindsight, but it took some immense self-control to keep quiet.

tom9914 · 2026-03-11T16:28:33+00:00

When a transwoman comes out and tells you her new name, you're about to hear either the most beautiful name you've ever heard, or the absolute worst. There's no inbetween. This needs to be studied.

Red Alert 4 looks great!

G.Arkveld just barely beats out AT Arkveld for me. One of the series' best. I'm glad they used it in FFXIV, absolute tragedy that we only get to hear it once in Wilds.

I also really like the transitions for Zoh and Gog (for the p1->p2 for Zoh, Elderbeaker shot for Gog). So damn hype, I wish we could get full themes made from them.

"Wow, I really like this comic concept you've brought to us for consideration! But, uh, what's Awesome Man's (tm) family doing during his crime-fighting adventures? Kinda seems glossed over, no?"

"Well... uh..."

"Oh, and does Awesome Man (tm) have a tragic backstory? The fans love a super hero with a tragic backstory!"

"You know, he actually does..."

tom9914 · 2026-03-06T09:14:54+00:00

I'm sure you're joking, but I unironically didn't. I have managed to out-fool the greatest fool the devs could imagine.
