CodexArcanum, to lemmyshitpost in You ask too much of him

It helps to be tripping absolute balls on mushrooms, peyote, or other hallucinogens. Well “helps” in the sense that while the angel will seem normal, ordinary rocks will now terrify you.

CodexArcanum, to comicstrips in Someone talk to me about Go (the board game). I'm in the process of learning it right now.

Newbies are often afraid or insulted to use “handicap” pieces, but the few free pieces given to a lower-rank player are actually quite effective at adjusting the balance with unevenly ranked players. It’s not a huge advantage and doesn’t fundamentally change the play of the game.

Using different sizes of board is also neat. I’m very fond of a short game using only a 9x9 board. Plays a lot faster, but trades strategy for a more tactical game.

This is the notion of Heidegger’s “thrownness”, which I love as a philosophy concept for how straightforward it is. We all have this feeling that we were “thrown into” the world without choice and have to make the best of the situation we’re born into.

So good you’ll nut!

CodexArcanum, to comicstrips in Living forever

I mean, what kind of immortality are we talking about here?

If your cells have been locked into “last known good configuration” then there’s no reason for anything inside you to evolve because nothing is changing.

Or maybe you aren’t immutable, but like a ship of theseus, in which case why would your internal biome evolve away from the eternally balanced environment it lives in? Crabs haven’t evolved for millenia because once perfection is achieved, where else can you evolve?

Tldr, what I’m saying is, vampires should be more worried about bursting with crabs than dinos.

There’s a Twitter or 4chan post floating around about how putting the cart back is the apex test of your humanity because there’s no reward for doing it and no consequences for not. It’s just “are you a good enough dude to put the cart back?”

(Unless you live near one of those places where you “rent” the cart for a coin, in which case there is a slim monetary value in cart management.)

I reject “sus” being zoomer exclusive. Among Us has been a huge hit for 5 years now, was popular across demographics, and made an appearance in Glass Onion, which is the boomeriest Millennial movie ever.

The rest of it, sure, go off fam.

What’s up with the word “amused” there? Looks like someone badly photoshopped a different word in.

Technically things are carved into stone, so…

CodexArcanum, to risa in If X was a sandwich: Spock

This is too cruel! Spock could at least be smoked chicken! He has seasonings, and they’re actually more intense than human seasonings! It’s why he must struggle so hard to control them, with white bread and mayo, (maybe some capers for a light touch of alien zing).

CodexArcanum, to memes in Oh, you guys want my opinion? Well...

Record it and release as unofficial podcast DLC; aka podmods.

CodexArcanum, to asklemmy in What is an obscure piece of media or videogame that you think nobody else here has heard of?

In 1990, a series of CGI animation collections began release on VHS tape. The Mind’s Eye was the first experience many people (myself included) had with pure computer animation.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind's_Eye_(film_series)

The best known segment from the first tape is Stanley & Stella in Breaking the Ice, which was first released in 1987. You can just watch it online now of course!

The animation style reminds me a lot of Reboot, a childhood favorite. It still amazes me how interesting this style is even today, really shows how much more artistry and vision matter than technology. I believe this is also the first public demonstration of a flocking algorithm.
