I suppose that depends on if you have consent 🤷♀️
- Comment on Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding 1 week ago:
One of my all time favorite games is Cultist Simulator, but I’ll admit it’s not for everyone. If you like puzzle type games and don’t mind learning about the world by reading lots of little snippets of flavor text, it’ll be right up your alley.
Also definitely check out Rogue (the og) and the first wave of games inspired by it. The meta-progression stuff is kind of a new wave thing.
As for newer games, Balatro is really popular right now if you’re into more ‘puzzle roguelikes’. Most of the things you unlock make the game harder rather than easier, or give you a different angle from which to play the game. There are a handful of things you have to unlock via meta-progression, but so far they seem pretty unintrusive.

aww, too bad, if you were good enough you could have beaten the game, but let’s make it a little easier
Yeah, that’s pretty awful game design. Most of the ones i’ve played didn’t feel like that, usually you’d unlock new classes or something (I.e. sidegrades) or unlock harder difficulties.
And of course my favorite ones don’t have any meta progression whatsoever, the only progression comes from you learning about the game.
- Comment on Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding 1 week ago:
Most of the roguelikes that I really enjoy had unlocks that made the game harder, not easier. At best, the unlocks offer new builds, making the game easier in one respect but harder in others, giving you a new angle on things.
But then again, most of the ones I play are puzzle/strategy/deckbuilder type games. Kind of a genre of its own these days. (FTL, Slay the Spire, Cultist Simulator, Balatro, etc)
- Comment on Given the Onion's purchase of Infowars was rejected by a judge a while ago, I think at this point they should just buy the company anyway. Seriously! 2 weeks ago:
Unfortunately that’s not how that works. They can’t ‘just buy the company’ because infowars won’t sell to them.
…but they could infringe the fuck out of the ip
- Comment on Should longer hair be handled by salons or male barbers? 2 weeks ago:
Many salons do men’s and women’s hair, most barbershops only do men’s. So I would think a salon (choose one that does both)
- Comment on If I could choose to not sleep and still be healthy, I'd still choose to sleep every night. 2 weeks ago:
Getting a full nights sleep in 30 min sounds WAY better than not sleeping at all. You still get all the benefits of sleep and more time in your day.

Why would you wish for that

Different kinds of quality. Cgi quality, acting quality
- Comment on Aww does someone have a sensitive li'l bummy wummy? 🧻 2 weeks ago:
Facts! But I also use recycled tp, because I still gotta pat dry.
Will probably switch to towels tho
- Comment on Why there is no clock that displays time 4:20:69 ? 2 weeks ago:
You should make one. It can’t be that hard to throw together a simple script that displays the time, and then add logic for the specific behavior you want.
- Comment on Schlip schlop 3 weeks ago:
… and somehow they still get butts in seats and lots of people enjoy them.
People want to see the cutting-edge cgi. In that sense it absolutely is qualityslop.

I unironically like shakespeare, but yeah, there is an element of inertia to his popularity.
- Comment on Schlip schlop 3 weeks ago:
Like that, except you do like them, mostly because you walk away feeling like you experienced a “good film.”
- Comment on Schlip schlop 3 weeks ago:
Imo It’s good but not worth the hype. But i’ve never had the good stuff (And never will, now that I don’t eat meat)
- Comment on Schlip schlop 3 weeks ago:
Oh, sure. Not debating that. But it’s popular because it’s seen as fancy.
- Comment on Schlip schlop 3 weeks ago:
You know how some restaraunts have a reputation for serving “good food” (I.e. gourmet food), but just because it’s fancier food it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll actually like it more?
So, what are some foods that people only like because they’re fancy? (I’d argue caviar is one)
Same idea, but for movies. What are some movies that people only like because they’re seen as being “good movies”?
- Comment on Perceiving AI as a 'job killer' negatively influences attitudes towards democracy— When people perceive AI as replacing human labour, trust in democracy and political participation decline 3 weeks ago:
It’s less of a revolution than it seems to be. Both parties have been doing awful things for a long time, Trump is just louder about it and more flagrant in his defiance of the other branches of government.
But it’s not “Trump is a fascist, unlike any president before him.” Trump is a fascist, but there have plenty of fascistic elements in the US goverment all along, and there have been other presidents like Trump in US history.
The system really is working exactly as intended.
- Comment on Schlip schlop 3 weeks ago:
I think I know what OOP means here. Films that people only like because they’re “good movies.”
I think the Avatar films fall into this category, as do most of the “Oscar bait” movies.

“Road Work Ahead” by Drew Gooden, obviously. Truly a legend.

The irony is that you are also cornposting.

Try XCOM Long War. It will take you 80 years, because you will rage quit a lot.

Hey, saying you trained a neural network by hand is super impressive.
Just, you know, you conveniently forget to mention whether its an artificial neural network.
- Comment on North Carolina (NC) is just built different 2 months ago:
Is this meant to be an advertisement? As someone who grew up in NC I don’t really see it as one, but you do have a point.
If you think posts like this don’t belong here, I’m sure you could persuade the mods to consider an update to the comm rules
