Yeah there were definitely more permanent or sophisticated solutions, but these were cheap and easy and allowed people with one player to play the other type without any of those more sophisticated solutions, and thus they were plentiful enough to become a visual icon of the scene.

Yes, 45 RPM players had wider pegs and smaller plates and were designed for playing 7" 45 RPM singles. The adapter allows a 7" 45 with the wider peg to be played on a standard size LP plate, assuming the player had a 45 RPM play speed setting (most players eventually included 33/45/78 speed; from what I understand it’s really only the very oldest or specialty players that didn’t).

That has nothing to do with the topic of whatever “semen retention” is. Also nice puritanical values you’ve got there, very 1640 of you 👉👉

Wouldn’t know. Never looked interesting to me, and the high pressure sales pitch from all the fans only made me less interested.

I know this is just headcanon and people will rightfully disagree, but as far as I’m concerned anytime the opening changes, that’s a new season.

The person I heard about One Piece from actively told me not to start watching it. They told me it was their favorite show, but they wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
One Piece is now my favorite show, and I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone.
This is my experience with One Piece fans personally; I ain’t seeing OP fans going around pressuring people to watch.

If it’s real it should be very easy to produce peer-reviewed results showing that conclusion.
Unless such evidence is presented, believing “semen retention” is anything is about as founded as believing in crystals or astrology.

I’ve never once had an anime fan force a show on me.
I’ve had countless people try to force Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, Breaking Bad, whatever the current “omg you HAVE to be watching this!” show of the moment is.

For the same reason people pretend to not like the word moist.
Humans are desperate for connection and will attach to even meaningless pop culture trends in an attempt to belong to an in-group.

Ngl, I haven’t read the article, I’m not defending or talking about Mozilla. But holy shit was that stupid logic.

Like how exactly are y’all expecting people to react to this? Y’all know you live in the real world with actual people, not Looney Tunes with a bunch of exaggerated cartoon characters, right?

I’ve spent a lot of time around dogs, even bonded with an liked a few. Still a very distinctly different feeling than human affection for me, and still doesn’t help me understand for the uncanny glee people get at the mere sight of a dog. 🤷♂️ I don’t know if I’m broken, but this seems to be something that’s just outside my understanding
- Comment on Labcoat! 2 months ago:
I do occasionally find people cute. But I don’t fawn over every person I see as if I’ve never seen a cute person before. This does not match my experience with the current cultural evaluation of dogs.
And maybe this is the crux of the issue, but I just don’t find human babies and dogs even remotely comparable. I have countless lifetimes worth of conditioning inside me compelling me to love, admire, protect human young; innate feelings and instincts on human babies written into my very DNA. Dogs are an animal.
I do sometimes find dogs cute, just like I sometimes find squirrels, lemurs, sloths, whatever cute, but it’s not an automatic response and it certainly doesn’t ever bring me to point of elation that seeing literally any random ass dog seems to bring so many others. I’m not even trying to suggest any judgement, if anything I’m just lamenting something that for my entire lifetime I have not been able to relate to or understand in my peers, which makes me feel somehow lacking, I guess.
- Comment on Labcoat! 2 months ago:
No hate intended, I promise, but I will never understand why people react to seeing any dog as if it were their first time seeing a dog. I’m glad we have them, and I’m so grateful for service animals in particular, I just don’t understand the hyper-fixation.

I haven’t picked up MT2 yet, but it’s on my wishlist for when I finish some of my current games :)

I agree there’s more meaningful permutations for replay in Monster Train, and that is indeed excellent. I just feel like there’s more randomness vs skill/strategy at play in Monster Train than Slay the Spire. Or again, maybe I’m just not as good at Monster Train? Either way, both games are very good and I’d highly recommend either to almost anyone.
