I remember telling my bio-chem mom about ‘King Phillip Came Over For Great Spaghetti’ in middle school. Didn’t realize why she chuckled until later.
PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.worksto Gaming@lemmy.world•I hate how CoD is all microscopic maps now thanks to Shipment 24/7English3·1 month agoI just played again for a long while today, but only Zombies with my bud. I will say I unironically love shipment because I just don’t feel like winning is a skill thing and that takes the pressure off. I just throw out my traps and go around full ape-shit with a shotgun. Totally recognize that’s not what actually good pvp’ers would want, but it works for my casual ass ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Amazing loop! Unfortunately my brain is now running ‘got any grapes?’ on loop
Indeed! Hugh also brought it up on an episode of HIGNFY

PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.worksto Games@lemmy.world•Marathon vs. Arc Raiders - Discussion of the games' opposite opinionsEnglish2·2 months agoSo I’m coming at this as a MASSIVE Destiny nerd. I was in the original’s Alpha, I own the first six lore books, and over the series have a bit shy of 4,000 hours (granted I imagine a few hundred hours of that is just chilling in orbit waiting on/chatting to my fireteam. It has been a very important game to me as I still game with my clan mates from D1 to this day.
Bungie gunplay has always been my favourite in the industry, the encounters are satisfying when you have a competent fireteam, and the gameplay loop kept me going for a long while. For me personally though; my friends and the overarching story were key.
After a decade, things are going to get stale. So I would take breaks here and there and come back when I actually wanted to play. Then the studio became an absolute nightmare to be invested in. The Skeletor Destiny videos are an extremely hilarious but accurate depiction of my feelings towards it all.
I was one of the handful of players that actually enjoyed playing CoD’s extraction variant, and was willing to give Bungie a chance to the extent that I participated in the ARG when Marathon was first announced. Everything since then has been negative in my personal view; from the internal drama of job cuts and accusations of poor workplace conditions to the actual game mechanics and story.
Marathon has great lore and it jogged so Halo could run. Now they’re saying there really won’t be a story right away. I actually like the character and map designs, and the gunplay is basically just Destiny 2’s with some small modifications, that’s just how the Tiger engine looks. With all that I’m just not excited.
TL;DR: I’m not going to pay 40$ so I can be a beta tester for a game that isn’t really promising me anything. I’ve done that for the last decade and largely it’s worked. Bungie has lost the prestige it really needs to make this the ‘next big thing’ IMHO
PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a weird compliment you got?English9·2 months agoI was once told that I ‘look like I’m going to ask someone to the Sadie Hopkins dance’. I assume they just meant I looked nice/dressed up, but it just struck me as interesting phrasing. Random people just tend to talk to me; a couple weeks ago I was at the gas station and an older guy struck up a conversation and commented that it was nice to see someone smile ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My rotted brain immediately defaulted to ‘I’m Liberian’
PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What ya nerds set your thermostats to?English3·3 months agoYeah, that’s extremely similar to our situation. Luckily we have solar panels, so PGE doesn’t absolutely demolish our finances. We also try and open windows overnight when possible since it can be 20-30 degrees cooler.
PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•ChatGPT spends 'tens of millions of dollars' on people saying 'please' and 'thank you', but Sam Altman says it's worth itEnglish191·3 months agoI don’t use ChatGPT or any of the other LLMs, but I do use my phone’s voice assistant for simple things like setting a timer. I always say please and thank you. I joke about it being uprising insurance, but it’s honestly to make sure I maintain polite communication as my default.
Always love a HIGNFY spotting in the wild, shame they still use twitter though.
I responded to who you agreed with. I won’t go into it further. Just giving you a ping, and hope that you can see where I was coming from. Didn’t realise asking for a tag was such a big deal, so honestly just gonna block this community.
This is a space for RPG memes, and the meme is covering a topic regarding oversexualized female characters discussing being raped by monsters with a dildo on the table. I’m not perturbed by downvotes, but I noticed them for just asking for it to be tagged as NSFW. I’ve had some rough experiences trying to play tabletop games as a woman and would ideally not have to be reminded of poor behaviour in a space that’s supposed to be lighthearted.
I don’t expect everything to be made for me, that’s why I block a lot of ‘lewd’ content and a blanket NSFW block. I went through Barrens and CoD chat as a young woman so I know what you mean by ‘vastly better place’.
Try and have some empathy for why someone might not want to see this content.
Tagging this as NSFW would have been appreciated. I filter those things out for a reason

PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Just watched the movie Hacksaw Ridge. Got me thinking can people in the military turn down an order because they disagree with it on sensible grounds? Like Trump ordering them to invade CN?English8·4 months agoNot active duty or a vet, but have had a lot of family in the forces;
Their duty is to uphold the constitution and protect the nation ostensibly, so they’d be obligated to refuse an illegal order. Realistically you won’t see that play out amongst the rank and file in part due to the culture of ‘discipline’ in the US military, and also the reality of court martial/dishonourable discharge. If something like this did occur it would likely be the five and/or four star generals that make the call. Now you have two powerful factions at odds with potentially catastrophic results.
Either way there’s gonna be court martials.
