I’ve been playing through factorio

- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 released in December 2020. Almost 4 years later, what is your opinion on it? 1 week ago:
It shouldn’t be forgiven for releasing in such a broken state. Do we really think the rest of the game industry didn’t notice how well it did?

- Comment on anime gacha sub moment 3 weeks ago:
The people in the post are literally doing the exact thing you were admonishing. It’s very hypocritical to say this behaviour is “pretty different”

The above is a link to a post in the stardew valley subreddit, which was laudered as one of the most accepting and chill communities on Reddit
The post was made before the great “fuck u/Spez” debacle, so before every decent individual left
In it, I compare an anime version mod that changes a “MILF”'s portrait (their words, not mine)
In it, I’m lambasted as being called a “pedo” and “liking 15yo girls”
Yes, actual pedophilia is bad, but I’d argue people who witch hunt drawings, which aren’t hurting anybody, have way too much collateral like the above to even be considered a good thing to uphold. They ultimately achieve nothing other than patting themselves on the back for screeching at an innocent individual
So yes, I understand why the people in the screenshot acted the way they did. Because this post is what happens when the numbers skew the wrong way
- Comment on anime gacha sub moment 3 weeks ago:
I agree that this behaviour really is mind numbing, but going to any instance and insulting the fanbase will get a similar response
(btw I hate gacha)

I’m currently writing a small literature review on tgf-b and SMAD signalling in cancer for uni rn
And I’m really confused why this one paper’s talking about how miR-520h induces the tgf-b/smad7 pathway but also binds to and suppresses smad7
Like why on earth is it activating the tgf-b/smad7 pathway, a pathway that stops stuff like the epithelial mesenchynal transition, if it’s just going to bind to smad7 anyway???
Worst thing is, I can’t find any other papers on why this actually happens
I swear I’m just dumb at times ;-;

There might be something wrong with me, but I’ve opened this up like 3 times absent-mindedly and chortled
There’s something so stupid about buzz just saying “skin cancer” with the rest of the meme cut off

It is a very wholesome game, would recommend playing it blind
- Comment on Any good games that break the mold 2 months ago:
Played through hifi rush recently. I can’t think of a game that’s done anything like it, I cannot recommend it enough. Was truely one of the best games I’ve ever played
- Comment on How do people in this day in age become nazis/neonazies sexist or even incels when there is so much knowledge against it? Do they get anything out of being that way? 2 months ago:
As someone who’s had several long debates with a neonazi on discord, it usually boils down to them saying “Goldbloom controls you, all your arguments are therefore nullified”
Their aptitude for dismissing information is amazing

- Comment on It genuinely upsets me that Valve spent their time and resources on another Dota variation 2 months ago:
Got access to it a few days ago. I played it for a few hours. Here’s my take:
It’s just a tps dota
Now, I don’t mind that too much. My problem is the plethora of problems that combat has
-
Despite there being damage falloff, you are directly decentivised from fighting in close range. This is because you both have little minions on both sides that attack the enemy and heal you. Why would you jump into that? Why would you give up your source of healing?
-
It’s way too easy to retreat. So you just poked and prodded the enemy for 3-4 minutes, finally got into a favourable position, pushed in, and they’re already on the zipline out of there. Sure, this is good for you, you can attack their sentinel. But attacking their sentinel isn’t fun. It just stands there and attacks your minions. You’re punished too much for dying, why would you risk it?
-
The stun abilities are atrocious. Picture this: you and an enemy found each other without support. You’re deep in a close range firefight, having fun for once in the game. Then this rando pokes their head around a corner, stuns you, and you’re dead before the stun ends. Why is this in any game?
-
Most hero weapons feel like you’re shooting wet paper towels. The majority of them are fast-shooting, but not in a good CS way. More like “I sincerely hope this is changed and these are just placeholders” way. The few that actually feel good to play (such as the girl with the green arm or the greaser dude) either lack damage in general or damage in mid-long range fights, the majority of the game
The most fun I had in this game had nothing to do with objectives or lanes or teamwork. It was when I was going between lanes and found an enemy doing the same, causing a close ranged battle. Makes me wish they just madr this as another TF2

- Comment on Steam - Update to User Reviews: New Helpfulness System 2 months ago:
When I like or dislike a game a lot and I’m able to articulate why, I usually write a long-winded 2-3 paragraph review on what I liked and didn’t like about it. These reviews tend to get 1-2 reactions at most
One time, I decided to write a positive review for a game I really liked but didn’t feel like saying “the shooting good” six different ways, so I wrote my one and only joke review
It then became my most popular review, with now 37 reactions
So yeah, I see why people do it and yes, I heavily agree with what steam’s doing

If you’re worried about google data collection, telling google to delete your data does next to nothing
Use freetube on pc and newpipe on android for a more privacy-focused alternative

It’s odd how I already didn’t like most of those creators to begin with. I guess this just gives me a reason

Picked up elden ring on sale three weeks ago, and already have 90 hourd in it, and I’m on my second run. First was a strength build, and now a dex/arcane bleed build!
There was a sorcerer build in between those two, but it trivialised my favourite part of the game so I stopped it
