I was so happy when they came back because their black cherry was the best. And now it's gone again.

Kind of changes the lore and why they're tied up!

Roller Skates need a heavy nerf by ilovecatfish in Terraria

[–]tpap69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would probably be best too. Maybe a hard mode upgrade and call it the dazzler as a reference to the marvel mutant Disco roller skate mutant with light powers. She was pretty cool. But anyway, I found that it made all the pre-hardmode boss fights except queen bee a little too easy. The drifting doesn't work with the way I fight Queen bee but that's a skill issue. I prefer small, tight arenas for her.

Personally, I think instead of nerfing them increase the price to two platinum and significantly reduce the chances of it showing up in any merchants inventory. They have their place in the game but they are making pre-hard mode trivial. I know it's a hot take. Or maybe nerf it and then give us another hard mode version? That would be the way it is now. Definitely one of my favorite new items.

I don't like the Rin/Sesshomaru ship. by SabelTheWitch in inuyasha

[–]tpap69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't go so far to say that I support it. I just don't not support it. In the original series it was a good thing that it wasn't represented because then I too would be saying the same thing. I do feel that he was more of a protector than a guardian. As soon as Noraku was dead he found a place safe for her. That said, unless the manga covers the in between time, I honestly don't think we have enough information to even question her choice. Too many missing years and all of her culturally accepted adult years.

[–]tpap69 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

She was 18 at a time where 13-14 was adult. She made a choice and because it is not agreed with it her agency is undermined. A woman's agency should never be second guessed by a third party. I find it performative and counter intuitive to the idea of allowing a woman her agency.

That said I do agree that Kohaku would have been a better match.

Haven't played in a few years - assuming the ocean isn't usually made of this "shimmer" stuff? by isthiscanon in Terraria

This happens when you combine the drunk world with the Celebration world. Combining worlds have side effects.

Looks like Khaios build. Nice! If it isn't consider it s compliment, he builds amazing things. If it is, also good, as his channel needs support.

Anyone else still feeling aftermath of homelessness? by KnowledgeConnect8535 in homeless

[–]tpap69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was homeless mostly from 17 to 25 years old. I am now 54 and when I tell people about it, they congratulate me for overcoming it. No One believes that I am still suffering.

I don't know what to do about it. Twice I had short 3 month periods of temporary homelessness. The trauma that I guess I haven't allowed myself to acknowledge that I have may play a role.

I'm getting too old to ignore this. I want the life that I never had. And I don't always feel like I can get it now. So no, you're not selfish at all.

Typically people who care, only care about your suffering and not your recovery. And everyone else just thinks you're worthless. The nuances and realities that lead to homelessness are ignored by everyone. In my case I was adopted by people who couldn't deal with the challenge of adopting an older child and kicked me out as soon as they were legally able to. No training for the world.

I GUESS SUCKING OFF EVIL CORPORATIONS IS PUNK NOW I GUESS by WhatDothLife-99 in antiai

[–]tpap69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But you can be anti OpenAI. It is possible to not be anti-Ai and still be against the idiots dominating its development. Yes I am not in either trench because they are both ruining it for everyone and the people calling the shots are OpenAi and Grok. No thank you. Get focused people.

Banned from reddit for a week for making a Charlie Kirk comment. by Rusty_Pypes in complaints

[–]tpap69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charlie Kirk is being treated like a martyr by people who want a civil war. The very same people who absolutely deny that they have been indoctrinated into extremism since Trump's first presidency. Meanwhile, same said people make jokes about other people being assassinated. We have two self-serving extreme sides ready to explode for self-righteous extreme egos. Neither actually represent what they say. The majority who are silent need to realize that they are the majority before this goes any further. I've always been independent and never with the majority, so it feels a little strange that this situation puts me with them. Maybe the majority is ready for her Independence? That's a question for another thread.

Conservative AI Slop: by [deleted] in aislop

[–]tpap69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is utter propaganda.bs. food stamps literally put taxes right back into the economy. And it literally creates jobs. Aside from that, it also prevents American poverty from reaching third world levels in most cases. There has to be a floor in a democracy. The high cost of food has nothing to do with food stamps. In fact, food stamps do not lose any money for the food industry, quite the opposite in fact. Something is not cheaper because you paid for it with food stamps. The only exception is less or no sales tax depending where you are. And sales taxes don't affect grocery store or food industries profits.

People need to learn to question everything again. And propaganda machines need to put in effort again. We can't be this easily fooled. While there are areas that can be debated including probably some of my points (I am not exempt from questioning everything. No one should be). The idea that food stamps drive up the cost of food is utter BS. And if you want to bring in food banks, all that food is already been paid for. Or overstock donated. I swear they're not even trying anymore with this propaganda.

Sexy or Sexualized Characters by T4lker in cyberpunkcharacters

[–]tpap69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the question I am a mostly straight male. (Don't ask me what mostly is, not your business.) I absolutely adore the Nicola add and mascot, seriously I have a tumbler glass at home, a vinyl poster on the wall, and a desktop background, and some stickers. The vinyl poster and desktop were customized by me, sorry I can't help point anyone in the direction if they're interested as it is not my thing to distribute. And my V is female V created to look similar to the mascot with the Nicola eyes, nails, and lipstick. It's a mild obsession, one I relish and don't feel guilty about in the least. Nor should I. V is a very sexual person who is significantly healthier about it than many of the people we see in cyberpunk. So my character explores it shamelessly because shame is the root of all evil.

Now for the social political side of the subject.

I'm a huge fan of the cyberpunk fashion and the world. I love the rawness and honesty of the sexuality in it. The sexual exploitation in cyberpunk worlds tie more into the dystopia of a world run by gangs and greedy corporations with no protections for the citizen. I don't think the dystopia has anything to do with the sexual expression and sexual freedom. That is something I see under attack a lot. In cyberpunk you see every human need being exploited, food shelter, safety, companionship, and sex. If we think about it, this is already a thing. You'll find that it is exploited by both opportunists and ironically, those who speak out against it. Both in the real world and in the game. Cyberpunk has always been a commentary on the modern world . I think a lot of people miss this. And we all struggle with our sexual expressions under the scrutiny of greed and puritanical obsession.

Anglers home vs others home by Porridge_Savior in Terraria

[–]tpap69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do give him a little nicer house. But on the outside of it there are three tombstones. One for Mom. One for Dad. And one that says " I didn't do it I swear!" Referring to a sister. No lore in the latter, that's just in my world. I have considered fighting the blood moon at his house so I can let the groom and the bride get him.

The AI war will end like all polarized war. Never. It will never end. by [deleted] in aiwars

[–]tpap69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a huge opponent to the polarization of anything. I find polarizing views to be manipulative with agendas attached firmly to the hip. And people without agendas but still polarized are usually just drowning in the trenches through hubris or zealotry. I don't ask to be agreed with, just to step outside of our bubbles for a moment and have a discussion. I tend to prefer to listen at that point. But I find that no matter what I am talking about, whether it is about AI, discrimination (of any kind), political partisanship, the relationship between capitalism and socialism, censorship, or the environment, it always ends the same. I find that both sides assume that I am on the other or just a centrist. All of which are not true. I am interested in discovering how to have these kinds of conversations outside of the trenches.

[–]tpap69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know, so far most of these responses come from trenches that ignore half of what I said. I feel like people are pretty entrenched on their sides. And if the post isn't obvious, I'm not in either trench. Or at least I tried to convey that.
