What are the scariest games you've played? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's requiem. It's an older game, GameCube era. I don't like horror games and this one isn't true horror. There are some good jump scares and body horror though. I had to stop after a certain scene because of the jump scares. The sanity system is really great.

What is the anime obsession with maids? (lemm.ee)
 

I understand why anime takes place in high school a lot, because its intended audience is high schoolers.

What is it with maids? And specifically the "French maid" type? Here in the US, maids are not like that at all. It's usually a Mexican lady in a minivan who comes by once a month or something. Additionally, they're not super common.

In anime, they usually seem to be a cross between live in maid and nanny. That wouldn't be too weird if it weren't so popular a trope. Is that common in Japan? I'm not the biggest consumer of Japanese media, but I can't recall IRL maids besides the maid cafes.

It looks like catbox images aren't loading. It's "sentenced to Prism" by Alan Dean Foster

is autism coded characters a thing? (files.catbox.moe)
 

I've loved this book for decades. Read it multiple times. Thinking about it a bit, and I believe the Mc is autism coded.

Anyone else read this and agree?

Anyone have examples of this in other areas?

Is cake a sort of bread? in c/[email protected]

bread typically having a deliberately developed structural matrix with high elasticity,

Cake fits into this, I'd say.

If gluten is required, then gf bread isn't bread. But anyone who's eaten gf bread would call it bread. Different but still bread.

Yes. Flour, water, heat. That's it. Tortillas are bread. Cake is bread. Crackers are bread.

Hexbear disappeared for a while. I guess they're federating with us again? What changed to make them want to do that again?

Somehow metal with zip zap moves rocks without touching and this isn't fiction? in c/[email protected]

Just wait until you get to nuclear chemistry/physics. We use invisible rays, which can kill you, to turn one rock into a different rock, which possibly can kill you. Only if you have studied for many years are you allowed to wield the magic transmutation beams. We create elements not likely seen in nature (possible, but unconfirmed because of their short lives). We create temperatures colder than anywhere else in the universe. We peer at the fundamental forces of nature and then fuck with them.

I've made an imperial stout cheesecake. Delicious.

Cheddar and sliced apples. I don't think it's rare and no one gives me crap when I eat it, but I never see anyone else do it.

How do I read trade paper back comic book collections, but in cohesive narrative? (lemm.ee)
 

Sorry if the title is confusing, but that's as succinct as I could think to make it.

I've been out of comics for a while, but I'd like to read some more. I don't like collecting issues, but I do like larger collections. Call them trade paperbacks, graphic novels, whatever. I've read some over the years (Sandman, Transmetropolitan, Akira, etc.) but I wanted to try some mainstream (DC, Marvel, etc).

I got a Green Lantern TPB (I loved the cartoons!) but the story was super confusing. It jumped back and forth, the characters referenced things that weren't in the book, and random side characters joined and left without any explanation. I asked a friend who said that the publishers would put a narrative arc in several different titles, so as to make people buy different things. So readers were somehow supposed to get all those random issues to understand what's going on.

I'm fine buying whatever, but I want a cohesive narrative. How can I make check that a complete narrative is in a TPB and I don't buy the incomplete style like I did previously?

someone actually asked for an info dump (lemm.ee)
 

I'm always surprised when it happens. 99% of the time I'm just tolerated, but every once in a while someone asks. Happened last night. I was sooooooooo happy.

Anyone else get chewed out by their boss for just not getting the hint? (lemm.ee)
 

Sorry if this topic is stupid, I feel very stupid right now. I got transferred to a new department and I've had 2 or 3 clashes with the new boss about me not getting the hint. He finally gave me a metric, a number to get to. He spelled it out. I can do that, but I'm just freaking out that he's gonna fire me because I couldn't get the clue until today.

Once again, I said some stupid shit. My life is a cycle of keeping things to myself and getting comfortable, then letting my guard down and expressing myself, then making everyone mad.

The older I get, the more I understand the archetype of an old man and his dog, living alone in the woods.

how do people sit in bleachers without their back hurting? (lemm.ee)
 

Bleachers have no back support. If I hunch over, my lower back hurts. If I sit up straight, my lower back is fine but my shoulders and upper back hurt.

If I do this on web, it loads fine.
