dreadgoat, to asklemmy in What character that is potrayed as a super genius in media felt like an idiot to you ?
dreadgoat avatar

A good Joker is super hard to write, but it's such a treat when he's done well.

He's supposed to be a genius, but also absolutely insane. So you have to demonstrate that he's extremely intelligent, but also occasionally does extremely stupid / nonsensical things. He always does the most valuable thing, but you have to remember his value system makes no sense.

dreadgoat, to tumblr in I had a similar reaction

You've had villain protagonist, and you've had relatable villain, but only in deathnote do you get relatable villain protagonist. Usually gotta read a century-old russian novel for that kind of stuff.

The only difference between bigotry and compassion is attribution of cause.

Women are usually worse at math and science than men. Absolutely true fact. But why?

See also: Racial minorities being poorer, worse educated, and more inclined to steal. It's true! Now tell me why it's true. Trans people have higher rates of mental illness, self-harm, and suicide. No argument that this is true, it's rampant. But why is it true?

social pressure

women and girls are actively discouraged from engaging in math & science by:
teachers (dont sweat it honey, you'll make a smart man very happy with those looks)
men (i dont want to be with a smarter woman because it makes me feel inferior)
women (ew who wants a dorky nerd girl, borinnnng)

you get all that in math class as a 12-year old girl and yeah you start to associate math with unhappiness

dreadgoat, to rpgmemes in This is the fun part

Yeah it's a "read the room" kind of thing.

There's a group that would be annoyed by immersion-breaking 4th wall jokes, and there's another group that would be relieved by the tension and pressure to perform being broken. Everyone's going to have slightly different comfort levels so there's always some compromise on the tone of a campaign.

dreadgoat, to gaming in Valve needs to step up on Anti-Cheat
dreadgoat avatar

On the flipside of this, I've been kicked from games because I know how to prefire, and a lot of players see that and just assume you're wallhacking. Nobody pays attention to the 70% of the time that you prefire at air, but when you guess right and instakill someone holding an angle, it's easier to say "cheater" than "i've been holding this same angle for the past 5 rounds, perhaps I've become predictable"

dreadgoat, to gaming in People really hold their mouse like that?!
dreadgoat avatar

I have small hands and still fingertip basically all the time, and I have all my life. I don't use a small mouse either (G502)

I hate how smudgy and uncomfortable it feels to have reduced fine control when my palm comes into contact with the mouse. It feels icky and frustrating. I know plenty of people palm grip with low DPI and big mousepads to achieve fine control, but that seems far more exhausting than just developing stamina in the forearm.

You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It’s just common sense.

dreadgoat, to games in The Nier series will continue as long as Yoko Taro remains alive, producer says
dreadgoat avatar

This comment will include a lot of spoilers for the yokoverse. Continue at your own peril.

Anyway, just to give you an idea of how little any of this matters to Yoko Taro, here's how his stories have developed:

Drakengard: Ends with absolute apocalypse, total destruction of the world, no coming back.

Nier: Let's go ahead and change the name and say that all the Drakengard stuff has now entered a new dimension. Our dimension! The story technically goes on, and THIS time we'll have the absolute apocalypse of OUR world.

Drakengard 3: Where do we go to continue the Darkengard name? Make it a prequel! Ezpz. Also we already did interdimensional stuff so let's add time travel why not.

Nier Automata: Okay the world basically ended for humans, but who cares? Just make it all about legacy of humans.

You know what, we can do even more already. Why not pepper in some mobile games, like Nier Reincarnation and SINoALICE (yes, this is still Nier universe). Why keep it to games? Let's write light novels (YoRHa, Drakengard 1.3) and a stage play (YoRHa Boys). I am not even the biggest Yokostan so this list is probably incomplete.

My personal take is that this methodology is all very intentionally tied to the main theme of the Yokoverse, which is that no matter how dark and hopeless the situation may become, there is always a future; a new opportunity.

dreadgoat, to technology in Reddit appears to be blocking VPNs (unverified)
dreadgoat avatar

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor

I got this bug on desktop, running chrome, with no VPN.

This was, as most things like this are, just a pure dumb fuck-up by some guy putting things on prod without properly testing and staging. No need to put on any more tin foil hats than we already have, the incompetence is plenty reason enough to point and laugh.

dreadgoat, to comedyheaven in I'm afraid
dreadgoat avatar

It's comedy, but it's not comedy heaven.

In order to be comedy heaven it has to be a victim of comedy homicide. There is no homicide here, just a naturally funny situation.

It's a funny post but in the wrong place.

Oops, you're right. I went kingblind

I think the definitive solution was already found further down the thread, but I think this could still work
Qd3 Bg3 Nf4 Kh4 ... at that point it becomes a sloppy chase but White takes an indomitable lead, taking B and a pawn easily
