I react poorly to blood donation and have had these used on me, they are incredibly unpleasant. There's no lasting harm, and they do work very well. Basically imagine a chemical burn throughout your nose, sinuses, and upper respiratory system that lasts 30 seconds. It works immediately and gets a very strong reaction
If speed running counts I was once top 10 in the world for speed running a puzzle game. Since then I've dropped into the 20s and the video has been lost
In the early days of Rift there was a mage build that used a bunch of attacks to target what the tank was targeting and would build your crit chance to 85%+ and then crit heal the tank for their entire bar. The tanks absolutely hated it, but it was the most fun healing I've done across 10+ MMOs, MOBAs, and arena shooters
The Doughboys have been joking about this on their podcast recently. One of them remarked that in Tenet you would suck poop back up your butthole. So they joke that shitting is pulling a "reverse Tenet"
Yeah, Steve Bannon specifically noted that World of Warcraft playing men were a fertile hunting ground for alt-right recruits. If your community has a lot of lonely men, you need to be proactive about alt-right content before you become a Nazi bar
The short answer is that we don't know. It has long been a legal grey area when depicting porn of underage characters that are clearly not real. There's the classic "she's actually 1000 she just looks 6 years old" and "all characters depicted are at least 18 [despite all of them being in various stages of high school]". American politicans are by and large way out of date with modern technology and cannot be expected to rule competently on the subject. Is the AI nude of a real person "revenge porn" or constitutionally protected free speech? People have been drawing fan art of underage celebs having sex with high detail for a long time (see Harry Potter/Twilight rule 34). Ultimately congress will need to make laws about this or courts will have to interpret a previous ruling as applying to these images. Unfortunately due to the Streisand Effect whomever is at the unfortunate center of this shitstorm will be forever made into pornographic material so we understand the general hesitation to get involved
I kinda agree. Sure there's observable/measurable phenomena out there, but past a certain point it's like a toddler asking why? You just have to say "because that's the way it is:
Why did that apple hit me in the head? Because of gravity
Why does gravity make things fall? Objects of larger mass attract objects of smaller mass
Why do they do that? Well the more massive something is the more it warps space around it
Why do massive objects warp space around them? Well there's some theories that certain sub-atomic particles interact in a way that causes these forces
Why do those particles do that? Well that's just what they do
(yes, I know these are overly simplified)
Eventually you reach our furthest level of understanding and we just have to say "that's just what we have observed happening, we don't have a root cause or explanation yet." That bottom level is basically magic in our universe until we learn more about it
The only reason I listen to Film Reroll is because it's about movies. I don't even listen to all of them, just movies I know will be fun/I've seen. Fifth Element, Mighty Ducks, Aliens, Last Action Hero, and Memento (which was incredibly cool how they did it) are the ones I've listened to since 2020.
Something about actual play just irritates me, especially for D&D. I'd just rather play myself
I'm fully in the Nick Weiger podcast universe so I listen to:
Doughboys
Doughboys Double
Get Played
Get Played Season Pass
Which are all comedy podcasts with similar people appearing. They're about chain restaurants, random side bullshit, Video Games, and Anime respectively. Then I also listen to:
Quick Question with Soren and Daniel
The Film Reroll
Which is a podcast by 2 former cracked writers which is the only reason people listen to them and a podcast about playing through movies as role playing games
I'd guess it's probably from a curated Tumblr post which I'll paraphrase:
"Every criminal deserves rights"
"Except pedophiles, they're true scum"
"Yes, also pedophiles"
"You're a piece of shit"
"If pedophiles don't have rights, then everyone they want to not have rights will be declared a pedophile. For example, transgender people, queer people, liberals, and more have all been accused of preying on children"
What I think is a bigger early game changer than blinds (at higher stakes mostly) is guaranteed jokers, and free jokers from tags. In orange+ I found rare joker tags impossible to take on ante 1 because you can't usually afford it and sometimes you can't pay for uncommons too. It was easy to get unlucky and not have a joker by ante 2 which can make clearing the small blind tricky. Now with buffoon pack guaranteed and more tags giving a free joker I think you'll more reliably have 1 or 2 going into ante 2
Lots of great changes here! The standouts for me are:
Changed Rare tag - Now makes the rare joker free
Negative, Polychrome, Holo, Foil tags all make their respective joker free
Changed Orange Stake - Scrapped increasing pack cost
Added new 'Rental' mechanic, Jokers have a 30% chance to have a 'Rental' sticker (stacks with eternal/perishable), making them cost $1 up front and $3 every round
Changed the first shop in every run to always include a normal Buffoon pack as one of the pack options
I mean the jokes write themselves
