Ya know something, you're right, all I've been doing is thinking about it and now I'm in a personal hell

I tried Valve's Customer Service but they informed me that Developer Bans cannot be overwritten by Valve staff

"I don't think so" is what he meant

My little sister hates Star Wars simply because back when she was in high school, that's all the other kids talked about. She told me how tired she was of hearing about people shipping Kylo Ren and Rey, so much so that she plays the Sims and outright REFUSES to get the Star Wars DLC for it because she doesn't wanna remember how toxic people were to her for not liking Star Wars.

Even though I love Star Wars (May the 4th be with you) I can weirdly relate, because when Andor dropped and my initial thoughts were "Slow, boring, and doesn't feel like Star Wars." and the Heist arc only CEMENTED this for me. (God I couldn't tell you how much I wanted those characters to die, and how little I felt when they finally did, hours of build-up and the only thing I learned about them is that they don't think Andor's one of the cool kids, and one of them wrote a book! Now they're all dead, don't I feel like my investment was worth it?)... My Reddit inbox (remember before they went on a banning spree?) was flooded with people telling me how stupid I was for "Not getting it!", and how simple people like me "Should stick to pew pew stuff like Clone Wars"

It made me want to rewatch Rogue One, not because of "Andor Hype", but because I'd get to see the show's namesake die. Legitimately I'd fire up Lego Star Wars and just have player 1 be Darth Maul, player 2 be Cassian Andor, and just killed Andor over and over again, that's how mad I was getting at Andor fanboys and their constant barrages of insults to anyone with ANY criticism of the show. It legitimately got so bad that I just didn't wanna watch Star Wars anymore.

I liked what little I saw of The Acolyte, but, sadly these Disney shows have been tainted for me by a combination of Boba Fett being THAT BAD and the toxicity of the Andor crowd.

I'm sorry Boba Fett was TERRIBLE, I just don't understand why they went with a script where Boba Fett acts like he has no idea how Jabba's operation worked despite being one of his right hand men. Did the writer just never see Return of the Jedi? I realize the only line of dialogue Boba Fett's ever really said i anything ever is "He's no good to me dead!", but come on now. You just can't give me a fish out of water story when the character in question is a shark in familiar oceans.

I realize that Star Wars has always been of questionable quality and has been divisive every since Empire Strikes Back had half of people going "What a great twist I was absolutely floored and on the edge of my seat since we got to Cloud City!" and the other half going "Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker are the same person? Bullshit, what's next, Luke and Leia are twins!?!", so much so that the real Star Wars is the friends we made along the way, but...

I'm not making friends along the way anymore, and that's just depressing.

At this point I'm wondering if they'll teach it at all, or just act like the Reagan Years and pretend it's just "peaches and cream" and a time when "Men were men"

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

This, they had no problem dropping "Muh Freeze Peach" in favor of calling everything they didn't like "DEI"

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

including people who voted for Trump.

Who would refuse to accept that it was happening until it happened to them specifically.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

They're even nodding along even though if Obama even hinted at something like this, paramedics would be called in to deal with the exploding heads.

I'm just amazed people think Disney's bad considered Lucas' plan for the series was just remaking the prequels in 3D and doing Star Wars Detours

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

This, I don't even know what the fuck is up with the magic dagger that tells you where a holocron is on a crashed space station that did not exist when the dagger was forged.

But there's shit just as dumb in the prequels, such as Palpatine hiring Dooku who then hires Jango who using his assassin money hires an assassin who hires a droid who hires two bugs, ending in a chase where Jango runs into the old villain trap of "Kill the unwilling informant being coercised into talking and not the guy who actually wants to stop you?" that's been around since Dick Tracey was writing parking tickets.

This, I'm willing to bet that the sequels will be just as beloved as the prequels suddenly were.

 

I got it expecting to hate it, but as I kept playing, I found myself legitimately enjoying it. Not begrudgingly enjoying it, not enjoying it outside of one or two small details, but actually being engaged in the story and gameplay. Which leads me to wondering why people had a problem with this game in the first place again?

 

I only knew Us for a tutorial I kept reloading until I was sure what was up with the brain, but if anything ever happened to him (I'm guessing he's a he?) I would kill everyone in the Forgotten Realms, and then myself.

 

I got excited until I realized they meant the reboot and not the first game in the series....

 

I recently played through Bondee's Barnyard, and I plan to play Jr.'s sometime soonish

 

I bought Mega Man X Dive Offline, really hyped for it, but then when I double checked my VPN, I realized it was set for the Netherlands.... Not good, I thought I had it set for the US as per usual.

Now it still showed the price in USD, but now I'm paranoid, I put in a refund explaining the situation and promising I'd buy it with the VPN turned off this time..

How fucked am I?

 

Recently got a VPN because I've become increasingly paranoid (It's getting crazy out there), but.... is it a bannable offense to use it while on Steam?

I'm finding mixed answers, and I wanna be safe, so I figured the Fediverse might know.

 

So I guess all you Homestar Runner fans have something there. Played it last night, short, but I had fun with it.

 

So here is the issue, I use Google Drive because I am a writer who does a lot of writing. And I thought the cloud was a reliable way to store my writing, however now Google is looking through it's to train their ai. And I'm worried about that, especially since I have written a lot of questionable content, porn and the like. What if Google Now arbitrarily decides that I'm not using Google Drive properly and bans me from the Google, that's not good. What should I do and what alternatives can I use? Will these Alternatives still be around in like 10 years?

 

Doing Egg Chains for fun, what are some worth pursuing? Thanks

 

I forgot where I first heard about it, I think my brother may have told me about it.

Eye-catching title right? Reminds me of the name of a Japanese Movie directly translated from its native langauge, ya know "I Put All My Points In Defense Because I Don't Want To Get Hurt", those kinds of title.

I know the game is on Steam and is supposedly a collection of cellphone inspired mini-games, but I was wondering if anyone has actually played it and can tell me anything about their firsthand experiences with the title.

 

Playing Sword's DLC, when I get Violet, I want to trade over some Pokemon that know egg moves. Level 1 of course, to keep it fair.

Any suggestions?

So far I have Delibird with Ice Shard, Happiny with Present, but not sure who else to shoot for.. or if Happiny is even in the Violet Pokedex

 

So these are two Pokemon that have breeding oddities. Now I know the reason is because Gen 1 has no breeding mechanics, so a lot of how Pokemon reproduce was pretty much an unknown.

We see this in the anime as we have things like "Baby Pikachu" and "Baby Nidoqueen", and though they're blink and you miss it moments, they're still a solid case of Early Installment Weirdness.

But still, I'm a total dork, so I have to have my head cannons for things that don't make sense.

So if you don't know what's wrong with these two Pokemon when it comes to breeding, I'll make it simple. Cubone's a longer explanation so I'll start with it.

Cubone's most infamous trait is the fact that it is constantly depressed, wearing its mother's skull and pining for a parent. Eventually the skull on Cubone's head fuses with the creature's real skull, and Cubone masters using the bone as a weapon, giving us Marowak.

Marowak if female can lay a Cubone egg, the Marowak does not die, but the Cubone is STILL wearing the mother's skull... Okay weird, and even stranger, Cubone can have siblings ALL WEARING the skull of its mother, how the heck does that work?

And for Kangaskhan, the issue is easier to explain. Kangaskhan hatches from eggs as a full grown adult with a baby in her pouch. If that makes sense to you, then I need some of what you're on.

However I can resolve both plot holes in one fan theory, and here it is.

Kangaskhan and Baby Kangaskhan are not mother and child, they are SIBLINGS! The bigger one is always female, the smaller one, not so much. The two are born together and start off with a symbiotic relationship; the nature of which is commonly mistaken as being of a mother and child by those who don't know any better.

At some point, there was a gene that caused a birth defect in which the older sibling dies in utero or improperly forms, leaving behind mere bones. The younger one having the instinctual need to form this symbiotic relationship, wears the skull and bone to compensate.

At some point, Kangaskhans without this defect outbred the ones that had it, making it virtually extinct. Causing Kangaskhan and Marowak to divulge into two separate species. Cubones and Marowak that still have the defect, making it impossible for them birth a healthy Kangaskhan, and Kangaskhan gaining an immunity to the problem making it impossible for them to birth a Cubone.

I mean yeah there is the Cubone who misses his mother in the first game, but, we see the mother's ghost is a Marowak. So... yeah..

What do you think? Have you come up with a different theory, the same theory, or have you just not thought about it?

Lemme know
