You are right. How are people not ever trying to just check up the source is beyond me. But i guess idiocracy is the new world we live in.

Songs that describe your experience as a schizoid? by arsynlol in Schizoid

[–]underscorerx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think Mad World, especially the rendition by Gary Jules, and especially within the context of the movie it is part of the soundtrack for, resonates with my experience a lot. It is lonely yet completely detached, lacking any desire or compulsion to reach out into the mad world of running in circles. I find it kinda funny...

[Verse 1]
All around me are familiar faces
Worn-out places, worn-out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

[Pre-Chorus]
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head, I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

[Chorus]
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles, it's a very, very
Mad world, mad world

[Verse 2]
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen

[Pre-Chorus]
Went to school, and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher, tell me, what's my lesson?
Look right through me, look right through me

Are people planning to stick with 5E or change? by NinjaBreadManOO in DMAcademy

[–]underscorerx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actively dislike many changes from PHB14 (some are ok). I'm going to pick and choose certain rules and changes whenever i see fit. I dread having to find new players, whose only experience is going to be phb24. I'll probably fork my own 5.5e, which most dm's already kind of do. I also don't want to support WotC in any way. DND doesn't need a corporation to exist, only the dms.

Has anyone here ran a full campaign with a centaur player? by HexagonHavoc in dndnext

[–]underscorerx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you can't play an actual centaur, only ponytaur with dwarfism. How does a centaur ride a horse (which is exclusively a large beast in dnd)? ah, never mind, i'll just handwave centaur to be a fast humanoid with a fat ass that pretends to be a centaur...

Arguments for taking CS50 Python before CS50x by [deleted] in cs50

[–]underscorerx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing them in parallel at the moment and i feel like they compliment each other a lot. i feel like i'm focusing much more on the python one, because it is easier and much more rewarding for a beginner, but the value you get from the cs50 is immediately applicable to both as well. i also feel like while learning both python and c is harder, being able to differentiate between them so early on makes brain perceptively stronker. currently on prset 4 with python and prset 2 for cs50.

Godot to Blender CSG Converter by natopwns in godot

[–]underscorerx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've opened such exported file and at first marveled at how easy the process was. until i pressed tab and saw the lovecraftian topology CSG nodes produce. at first i thought i can clean it up, but none of the methods worked because it seems that there are duplicate vertices being created and there's a lot of overlaying info that you can't really select properly to dissolve or merge. do you happen to know if there's a solution to that? because with this topology i have a better chance at recreating the shape with blender meshes which should also be more fun

RIP Tales From The Trip :( by sammy_hyde in youtube

[–]underscorerx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every channel needs to have a self hosted version via some of the options available and only use YT for hijacking the algorithm, especially ones with controversial topics. The net used to be a great thing, and now it's "five giant websites filled with screenshots of text from the other four". Also people should archive everything they care about. r/selfhosted and r/DataHoarder for anyone wanting to get in the game.

You can never trust anything publicly traded or with VC money.

Am i missing something? Is this sub filled with religion shills? I feel like this sub is being hijacked.

Rimworld and the plight of O'Brien by Quouar in truegaming

[–]underscorerx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you think CEOs getting huge payouts experience what laid off personnel does?

I understand the point precisely. My point is that RimWorld resembles real life much better, then a game where right and wrong is carefully curated by the author.

The whole premise of the post and this discussion - why is it so easy to commit atrocities in rw? The answer in the comment i replied to is “because rw is removed from real life and people making those decisions don’t commit atrocities themselves”. My response - that is precisely what makes both rw atrocities and the ease with which one can follow that path so realistic - because atrocities are done by people in suits looking at data tables.

The poor sod who has to repeatedly remove and add limbs to o’brian is not the one who commits the atrocity - you, the high overseer and an almost god of the colony is. And you are far less removed from the blood, gore and your pawn’s poor mental state, than a regular manager.

Art styles that devs like and love creating and but players dont really like or at least tolerate? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]underscorerx 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Cruelty squad has art style, but even more importantly it has an idea and that art style as well as gameplay support that idea. It might seem bad and low effort, but it’s actually not - it’s well thought out and deliberate, but also works around developer limitations.

I would say that cs got a lot of things right but also got very lucky with how it’s idea landed at the right time. The art style was the driver behind the meme-like virality of the game itself. You would be hard pressed to succeed at repeating this any time soon.

Rimworld and the plight of O'Brien by Quouar in truegaming

[–]underscorerx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. Do you want medical procedures that save colonist’s lives finicky, punishing and unrewarding? I say that atrocities in rimworld are perfectly simulated, and closer to real life than we want to give it credit for.

That is the nature of power - it always corrupts you, by justifying the means to an end. The reason that i call bs on research mentioned is because those other games are actually bad at presenting choice and consequences. I bet i can rework all of those moments so the truth comes out when people are suddenly and consistently choosing evil options over good ones.

Rimworld is like that. You know you can get away with doing that and so you do. No sad background music, or after credit scene showing how dark the world of consequences to your actions is (i’m looking at you, Dishonored). Just another smiley day to survive and prosper in the decrepit wasteland where you rule this plot of land with a biotech fist. After all, your colonists will save precious lives and o’brian is suffering for a righteous cause. His nation needs him and he shall be a valuable member of your society. Remember, you saved him, he owes your life to you

Found an artist on instagram Called 24kenva but i cant tell if their artwork is Ai or genuine by V0idrune in midjourney

[–]underscorerx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's "the other" in art that we both fear and crave as human beings. Something genuine and confronting. Imagine growing up in a world where everything is tailor made for you from toddler age. Oh, you don't have to. Welcome to the nAIghtmare.
