Is there any other meaning..?

[–] josephc@lemmy.ml 244 points 2 months ago (7 children)

I had to noodle on this one for a while and ask around. I think, and this is only a guess, that this might be "consensual non-consent", which is a role play of sexual assault.

Wait so not command and conquer?

Well I got a new tablet wallpaper

Same it's going right on the CRT. Goodbye Degurechaff and Cain. Hello Soviet Tim Curry.

I say this in his voice all the time. This is my new favorite picture.

GREAT theme music riff.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 38 points 2 months ago

The safe word is "Tiberium."

[–] varyingExpertise@feddit.org 20 points 2 months ago

Well, usually all parties taking party in a Command and Conquer match have consented to do so but what happens then usually involves quite a bit of non-consent.

[–] foofiepie@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Ah nostalgia. Please tell me there’s a Linux port of this.

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There's openra.net which is an open source "all the Command and Conquer games" engine, which may be of interest?

[–] foofiepie@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Wow thank you. RIP my free time for a while.

[–] illpillow@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Runs quite well with WINE using CnCnet.

[–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Im addicted to general zero hour, you can buy the cnc collection on steam and it runs fine.

I wish EA wasn't so shit at programming, it crashes if you minimize the window. Or has a mismatch if theres to many units on the ground.

Theres mods to fix issues, but i cant figure out how to make it work under wine.

EA also open sourced the code and people are working on fixing bugs

[–] josephc@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

Oh! That could be it!

SPACE!

It's not necessarily role play of assault, though it can be that. It can also mean that blanket consent has been given ahead of time, and so the subject is unaware of what may happen to them or when, and by the nature of it can't give specific consent for any particular action. It can have to do with pushing/exploring boundaries, a power dynamic kink, or just enjoying the element of surprise, among others.

If you're doing it right, consent can be withdrawn at any time via a pre-established non-verbal signal and/or safeword, and any bondage equipment will have safety releases.

e: In case it's unclear, I just mean that the definition is more broad than that. I don't think there's anything wrong with role-playing assault.

So, essentially command and conquer

[–] DarkAri@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 months ago

My safe word is harder

[–] Hux@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 months ago

Wow, I’ve never been more terrified of “CNC machines”…

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (3 children)
[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 47 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Doesn't have to be roleplay, just the agreement that no or stop doesn't mean stop, and a safeword instead

[–] rovingnothing29@lemmy.world 50 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The safe word is Flower, but they keep saying Flour. What gives?

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

This is why I choose 'Fiduciary Responsibility' as my safeword.

That Fallout show was really good. I can't believe It took until this week for me to watch it.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I wasn't entirely sold until the guy wiped his dick on the curtains.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I was sold from the sets. The fact that the fonts and everything looked goddamn identical had me enthralled. When every single camera angle started to make me think of the cinematic killshots or every tiny thing carried over from the games like NPCs that don't talk to you or clipping into the floor or the deep psychological horror combined with goddamn near whimsy?

I was fucking stunned. I was watching the pilot with a friend I met here on Lemmy and he can attest to it. I didn't shut the fuck up the entire time throughout the episode because I kept just cackling. @Robolemmy@lemmy.dbzer0.com can confirm lol

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah... that line also sent me over the fucking moon. "You mean use my cock?" and "So you wanna make my cock explode now?" also killed me

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 4 points 2 months ago (3 children)

That movie had some surprisingly funny scenes. I didn't expect a whole lot going in, but it did exceed those expectations.

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

My partners into it. I'm into BDSM and it threw me off for a while. I think of it like the most extreme version of a sub/ dom sex play with roleplay. It's definitely something that requires a whole lot of forethought, communication, and most of all, CONSENT.

[–] Pistcow@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

That's the spirt!

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

I had to learn to program CNC machines with punch tape back in the eighties, so not too far off.

~~Computer Numerical Control~~ Consensual Non-Consent

[–] vrek@programming.dev 34 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Ironically a few years back I was starting a project at work and was told one of the machines was a "miyano" I didn't know what that was so I googled it... Entire first page of images was anime.

Turns out it was a 12 axis lathe...

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] vrek@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

Well it had 3 bits from different directions that each moved in 4 axis(in/out, up/down, left right, spin) which could be used simultaneously and controlled independently.

[–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thats fucking wild

I bet programing that thing is like flying a spacecraft

Thank you, I thought I was alone in the outgroup for this one.
