@adiwan He is now, but I remember some backlash when he was introduced. Personally, I was just sick of new spider-folk, which I have since recanted. Spider-Verse ruled!!
-
@scribus Hm. I agree that there are too many spider-themed super heroes at Marvel. Regular Spider-Man, Miles Morales, Spider-Woman, Spider Gwen, Silk, British Spider Man... There was a comic event with all of the spider people but I didn't care to read it. The recent Spider-Verse movie was splendid. I quite enjoyed it.

@adiwan Spider-Woman is kind of weird, too. Isn't she more about something like the "Web" of Fate, or something?

According to one of my friends. "This will never stop being funny". Then why does it make me cry on the inside ? http://rainbowdash.net/url/874279
Maybe he cries on the inside manifest themselves as laughter ?

@nerthos Ohh, you are talking mental and physical fortitude to walk the route from A to B. Such as grain to bread if you have nothing but grain, lumber, stone and clayish mud. In which the walking the walk is the important part.

I just remembered For Honor. The video game where you could live out your fantasy of being a knight and play with a sword. Alternatively a Viking or ?Samurai? if you were one of 'those' people.
I would really like a game like that on the Nintendo Switch, but focused on couch-play instead of whatever For Honor's main aim was.Wednesday, 17-Apr-19 23:04:15 UTC from web- Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

@drinkingpony I just stumbled across a documentary (?) on Netflix about that game! Have yet to watch it, and never played, but the concept sounds neat. !vgp !movies
-
@scribus It was a great concept, but the lack of dedicated servers (Meaning P2P networking, with the game selecting the fastest 'node' as host, like with CoD on the XboX360, a thing that everypony and everyhuman hated) lack of balance, and dishonourable killings in a game called 'For Honor' ultimately brought nothing but toxicity. There even was a day-of-infamy, orchestrated by Reddit, to have a day of NOT playing the game trying to make the dev's aware that the game had huge problems.

@scribus I'm powering through the main quests and I don't find many of those Korok seeds to increase my inventory space. Since I don't find any (because I'm not exploring much) it's a struggle to keep a good stock of good weapons. I haven't any problems that I didn't have any but it's a small struggle.

@scribus On a scale where 10 represents 'I enjoyed my popcorn and the fighting eye-candy' and 1 is 'the stupid plot prevented me from enjoying the movie'. I guess you would rate it about a 6 or a 7 then ?

@drinkingpony Yeah, 7 sounds fair.

@scribus I'll be honest, I thought I was going to be called a Fluffle Puffed off, xenophobic, MRA cuck for even daring to ask the question like that. But yeah, I too give it about a 7.
Wait, I forgot a word. Ah "Useless". Well, that's true :)

Got these two cables to replace the wire of my headphones. Silicone coating instead of rubber, high quality. The black one is much nicer looking, but has 4 wires so it can only support the headphones. The orange one has five so it can support stereo headphones and a microphone, but is heavier and was used in an industrial welding area so it's not super pretty. I could try to use the common wire for both mic and speakers but I don't have a composite jack port on the computer and I'm not sure if it works with two separate jacks.
The connectors are compatible between both so that's not an issue, they'd connect to the same port.
Anyone experienced in audio hardware around?

@nerthos Basically my question is, will this configuration work or do I need to lay two separate ground circuits for it?
I simplified the L/R wiring, I know that it wouldn't work without the extra bridge between speakers, but it's not important to this question. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/874159

I do want to talk about the implications of this unit for a moment, specifically "Dry Bones" and "Dry Bowser", whose naming conventions confuse and frighten me. When I die, will I become Dry Brian? Is a living Bowser Wet Bowser? Why do Piranha Plant have bone in it?

@ceruleanspark You are a Wrian now, and a Drian when you are dead.

@ceruleanspark Well, it was never proven that piranha plants are actually plants, and not plant-resembling animals. There's a marked lack of academic institutions in the mushroom kingdom.

@scribus https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Xy9B0pUpJ6E/maxresdefault.jpg
In any case this particular shooter looks less and less like one, particularly due to doing a classical 8chan thing of trying to sic the media on someone they dislike but is not particularly involved, and the fact that cia plants usually get themselves shot to tie loose ends, but this one got captured.

Consider this for the upcoming pokémon game starters:
Water/Dragon for the chameleon
Fire/Fairy for the rabbit
Grass/Steel for the monkey
Then for the first time each starter would have one advantage and one disvantage over each other, and the rock paper scissors nature of starters would disappear once they evolve.Friday, 15-Mar-19 05:37:08 UTC from web-

@drinkingpony Broad strokes: the general atmosphere of the internet and this outrage culture we're going through. Specific instigator: The Simpsons pulling a Stalin on the Michael Jackson guest star episode and deleting it entirely from the catalog as though it had never happened. You know, exactly like Warner Bros DIDN'T DO about their WWII propaganda shorts.
-
@scribus " the general atmosphere of the internet and this outrage culture we're going through"
Oh, yeah, Outrage culture. Also known as the "Age of Apathy" for some. I know nothing of The Simpsons so I guess it is/was a recent episode.
But I guess most people have forgotten about it now since Notch ( the Minecraft dude ) done did something.Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@drinkingpony @scribus It's not really about whether it was a good episode or not, it's about revisionism and a fascist mindset without any of the good parts of fascism, where anything that is deemed not kosher is censored and removed from public records.
It was an old episode that was relevant for the time it came out, but the kind of individual that complains about things being "problematic" has no sense of nuance, historical significance, context, or anything like that. Some would see anything that doesn't match the current discourse removed entirely.
