Please do not perceive me.
Yeah, maybe. That’s part of it. Learning that you’re an asshole, if that’s true, is the first necessary step towards changing that. That’s part of what psychedelics do, they confront you with truths that you wouldn’t otherwise recognize.
But they also confront you with lies. Just cause the mushroom tells you you’re an asshole doesn’t mean it’s right. That’s for you to think on afterward.
Or how no one in security noticed a dude with a high powered rifle climbing over the fence.
This one, at least, I can explain.
They did see him! Secret Service just elected to ignore it, apparently.
Snippet taken from the relevant Wikipedia page :
At 4:26 p.m., a local law enforcement countersniper ended his shift and spotted Crooks around the southernmost warehouse of a complex owned by AGR International, in which police countersnipers were positioned. The countersniper text-messaged his colleagues about Crooks, noting that he may have known about the police presence inside the building. The New York Times retrospectively described the text messages as suggesting that Crooks aroused police suspicion more than 90 minutes before the shooting.[57] At 5:14 p.m., one of the countersnipers still in the building saw Crooks directly underneath the warehouse and photographed him. The countersniper saw him “scoping out” the rooftop of the building and carrying a golf rangefinder, which particularly alarmed officers. The countersniper text-messaged images of Crooks to other members of law enforcement before heading outside to find him and keep visual contact while backup arrived. Crooks ran from his position and evaded a search joined by four other local police officers.[58][59][45][60] Law enforcement officers spotted Crooks between 20 minutes and 30 minutes before the shooting.[61][62] Multiple local law enforcement officers identified Crooks and believed that he might have been acting suspiciously near the event’s magnetometer weapon detectors;[63] they expressed their suspicions over radio, and the Secret Service was informed of this at some point.[41] Trump arrived onstage at about 6:03 p.m.[64] At 6:05 p.m., he began speaking.[65] At 6:06 p.m., Crooks scaled an air-conditioning unit between the northernmost AGR International buildings to reach the roof of the complex, rather than using his ladder.[66] He walked across a series of interconnected roofs to reach his eventual firing position on the southernmost roof,[45][66] between 400 feet (120 meters) and 450 feet (140 meters) north of the venue stage.[2][11][12][67] The building housed three police snipers tasked with covering the rally, but none of them were on the roof due to a shortage of personnel.[68][69] Several bystanders witnessed Crooks on the roof and alerted the police about him minutes before shots were fired at Trump.[70][71][65]
It then goes on to tell how one of the local cops, not Secret Service, went up there to see what was going on, and spooked Crooks who then opened fire.
What front-end are you using? I’m browsing via Summit and everything appears normal here.
This is the beginning of a Warhammer 40k quote, specifically one used in the trailer for 40k: Mechanicus. It is - big surprise - a quote from the Mechanicus, which is essentially the human Imperium’s cyborg tech support squad. The full quote is as follows:
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal… Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.
It has become a meme in both the 40k and the general transhumanist communities for reasons that are probably obvious.
Alright fair point on the nitpick. I meant that less as an attack on Rimworld and more of an expression of respect to Dwarf Fortress. That’s where that load-bearing “but” came in to play. Point taken though. I have great respect for both games and the developers of them. I admit I am on Team Dwarf if we come to blows though, I played that one first and it is, to date, one of the most genuinely incredible pieces of software I’ve ever encountered.
Absolutely no hate for Rimworld though. It’s a good game through and through.
Man I wish I could like Isaac like that. I’m not good at it at all. Every time I try to play the game it turns into an angry sweat fest as I take tons of stupid avoidable damage and don’t find any fucking keys for the third floor in a row
I’ve watched a thousand hours of Northernlion and I could probably tell you every item in the game on sight but my sticky notes look like sad trash.
Don’t even get me started on the challenges, I fear that list, but I want half those unlocks to get all my other unlocks.
Valve recently released the source code so that’s probably really easy to do now
I really don’t mean this as a dunk on Rimworld, but as is tradition with most things in Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress did it first. “FPS Death” was a common end condition for resilient forts. If natural dangers or greed didn’t kill you first, boredom would as your FPS crawled down into the single digits or, if you were really dedicated, this could become seconds per frame.
Rimworld has kind of done it’s own thing now with the third or fourth DLC expansion but for a majority of its lifespan so far it could charitably be called a DF clone with a readable UI. Now DF has its own readable UI and Rimworld has cybernetics and psychic magic so they’ve sort of both become individual titans of their own genre.
Anybody who doesn’t let you bring the car to a mechanic for a pre purchase inspection is someone you don’t want to be buying a car from. Most car repair places will do one for you.
Well, I bought it. I had the day off work and just recently refunded the new Doom because it won’t even let me launch it without RTX support, so I figured I’d give CO a go. It’s now six and a half hours later and I’m thoroughly hooked. This might be one of the best RPGs I’ve ever played. The characters are quite good and I’m a big fan of the AP system meaning that running out of MP on your wizard isn’t really a problem you deal with like in other JRPGs (looking at you Final Fantasy - elixirs are not a suitable bandaid for a bad MP economy).
I am finding the timing for parries to be a little bit bullshit but dodges are forgiving enough that I’ve been getting by.
I just picked up the third party member and exited her area back to the world map if that gives you a good idea where I’m at without being spoilery. Thanks for the recommendation!
Is it that good? I threw it on my wishlist but haven’t come back around to it.
The last really excellent RPG I played was Metaphor: ReFantazio, any opinions on how it stacks up against that? Because M:RF is legitimately excellent and I still need to go finish that. But Clair Obscura has been grabbing my attention recently…
Today I learned this was made by the actual creator of Hellsing
Born to Twerk / World Is A Fuck / Slay em all 2025 / I Am Ass Man / 410,757,864,530 Mogged Zoomers
🤷 More for the rest of us
Right, but there are also plenty of people who just ride a bike and get by just fine. Four wheels may be typical, but a vehicle is not defined by having four wheels. And having four wheels doesn’t do you a ton of good when they’re all flat and misaligned.
I don’t think you should have to balance a car on two wheels, and I’m sad that you do need to. But having “a car” in this analogy isn’t something that should be baseline necessary to be considered a human being.
This was written back in the days that Trump was used as a synonym for “rich” without further context.
It, uh… it hits a little different now.
R.I.P. Mac, I’m glad you didn’t have to defend this later in life.
I’m an auto mechanic, honestly like 80% of the things I touch every day could kill most things if applied properly.
Thinking about reach and convenience from my toolbox, I’m thinking the 5’ steel prybar (effectively a 10 lb baseball bat with a sharp tip) or the cv axle I took out earlier. Honorable mention to one of a variety of possible chemical attacks or just straight up dropping a car on it.
It started out as a parody and then just turned into one of the better dubs of the show.
The beginning is rough but it comes into its own quickly.
