Thats probably the most likely explanation for a deer attacking a tree for seemingly no reason, and messy chunks of flesh getting everywhere… but yeah, the standing on two legs thing…
… not strictly impossible, but… rather unlikely?
Deer can rear up on their hind legs, but I can’t say I’ve ever heard of one that can actually… locomote, ambulate, walk in that manner.
Animals, and people, can and have continued to be alive and… somewhat, or even mostly functional… with portions of their brains obliterated or removed.
Go look up Phinneas Gage, or the history of lobotomies and brain surgeries.
Now, this person could be describing bloody chunks of the skull and skin and fur, but it is not strictly impossible that the deer could have actually managed to loose chunks of its actual brain, and still remain capable enough to keep functioning…
… for a while, at least. If it did really cave in its own skull, it would almost certainly die from cranial hemmoraghing soon afterward, if not that, infections.
Yep, used to work for them, this is a very accurate and succinct analogy to use.
True pioneers of corporate neofeudalism.
Hey, anybody remember when MGS 2 came out, and the mass of NA gamers were raging about having to play as Raiden, because he was a … well in modern parlance, a beta cuck soyboy?
Kinda flew over all their heads that Raiden was basically a more realistic reflection of the NA target demo for MGS games, and oh he also goes through legitimate character development, gains maturity and confidence, oh well now, more lately, he’s basically a badass fucking cyberninja.
… Passing the torch off to Ciri fucking entirely makes sense within the world and lore of the Witcher series… and I thought we liked having an attractive gal booty to ogle at in third person?
Or is that now gay?
You’re correct, and I tried that approach as well, but it got really annoying to need to install MO2 for every different game, each time.
And, as you say, it doesn’t really work for unsupported games… whereas Limo works with a single, native install, and while it doesn’t come preconfigured for every game that exists… you can just whip up your own game profile by pointing it at the right directory, and taking a bit of time and trial and error to set up the mod deployers properly… works for many different versions of games… and I think at this point, supports everything MO2 does, both in terms of games, and just internal features of the program itself?
Its even got a filtering and tagging system for organizing your mods within categories, you can manage load orders and investigate conflicts and overrides…
That is very true, Japanese corporate business culture is on a whole other level.
Somewhat ironically, all my experiences with actual Japanese people are via Karate… in the Dojo, very strict, formal, no nonsense.
But uh, just casually hanging out? At least the ones I knew,… much more rowdy, haha.
Unrelated to my earlier Karate experiences, about a decadr after I’d gotten my black belt, and had since laid off Karate a bit… I once randomly befriended a Japanese man… who claimed he had been an actual Yakuza, a Yakushi… he explained to me that he had fucked up some operation, and instead of losing a finger, his superior struck him with the blunt side of the… I guess it would have been a waki-zashi?.. stuck him on the knuckle, and that finger of his was pretty messed up.
He took that, and permanent exile from Japan, over… losing a finger, and then likely just getting killed… he’d pissed off another group pretty severely.
… We then got to talking about Anime, Yokai, and of course Karate… said he was a 4th Dan, 4th Degree Black Belt and uh… yeah, he was very, very significantly skilled in a few basically play fight, not even proper sparring bs we got into a few times.
Initially, he said he wanted me to prove I wasn’t bullshitting about my black belt. Gave him my Style and as much family lineage of it that I remembered… and he then, almost totally without warning, threw a punch right at my face.
I did nothing. Didn’t move at all.
His fist stopped about a half centimeter from my nose.
He laughed, said ‘You blinked’, I laughed, and he believed me after that.
Uh, if anyone wants an all purpose, virtual file system creating, mod manager that works for basically any game, once you configure it right:
Limo.
https://github.com/limo-app/limo
Should just be in Discover if you’re on SteamOS or Bazzite… or any LinuxOS with Flatpak … its been on flathub for a while.
Ive been using it on my Steam Deck for a bit over half a year now, have already successfully used it to mod FONV and CP77… all you have to do is set up a profile config that points at the correct directory for CP77, and set up the mod deployer.
You still have to do some manual installations into the core game directory, or some other work around, for things like NVSE, or other mods that override or hijack the core exe or do something else far more ‘instrusive’, but yeah…
I got tired of waiting for Nexus to actually do this update they’ve just done here, and … well MO2 works, but you have to run it through Wine or Proton or Steam Tinker Launch or … bleh, just too many extra steps, not native…
And Limo works, natively on Linux, just gotta RTFM.
I’ve heard it described as basically:
What if we made a game with the core concept of Final Fantasy X-2, but with our own story and characters and expanded upon the gameplay?
I haven’t played it, but afaik, its jrpg style combat based around your team of 3, but there’s a lot more involved timed and reaction based elements to the gameplay… its not as static as an old school jrpg like earlier versions of Final Fantasy, but its also not quite as invovled as the even more complex and dynamic FF7 Rebirth gameplay system.
This is entirely too many different instruments, but my brain instantly went to the Civ 3 Ancient Theme.
Yeah…
I am an American but have had a lot of friends from all over the world.
We are kind of exceptional in the extent of normalized, utterly disingenuous ‘standard social interactions and phrases’ that we use.
We talk like NPCs using throwaway, canned dialogue lines, and if we don’t do NPC talk, well then that is actually viewed as antisocial…
Even though basically everyone else in the world would view this all as the opposite, inverted. Such forced bullshit conversations are generally viewed as bullshit and disingenuous.
Land of the individual!..
So long as you conform to various social norms that are so routine most of us don’t ever even stop to question their prevalence or function.
… No no no it all wasn’t.
The DOGE goons made up multiple logins to multiple US Gov databases that are not open to the public… inucluding the DoD’s SIPRNet…
… and we know at least some of these logins were also used from utterly unsecure personal devices, remotely, not onsite, and that they’ve been getting used by IP addresses from all over the place, all over the world, meaning said login creds have either outright been given away, or been compromised by other nation state’s hackers, or just total rando hackers.
I potentially agree, but as a possible competitor, I submit:
Everything DOGE has done in the last 3 months.
So this is:
'Uh guys, Discord chats leaked…"
For… what, just literally everyone who used Discord between 2015 and 2017, everyone who was an early adopter?
Dear fucking god.
I used to say ‘someday, people will learn’, but fucking no obviously not, no they won’t, almost everyone is an idiot and/or truly doesn’t care.
… I guess this’ll be fodder for a whole bunch of dramatubers / pedohunters for the next year or so…
Kirby is more of a kawaii eldritch entity.
Back to your bottle now, drinky drinky.
Well, that is exactly what the person I replied to did.
So I’m just playing the uno reverse card, just mirroring their baseless rhetoric.
They didn’t give any sound reasoning, why should I?
But here, I will anyway:
Just generally speaking, people who attack younger people by calling ‘their generation’ a bunch of pussies… tend to be older generations.
You can contextually tell the original insult is aimed at younger people because the OP features a picture of a young person.
Then a bunch of other older people who feel attacked by the tactic often used by them, against younger people… being uno reverse card’d back at them… well now its time to be rules lawyers and now logical consistency and provable statements matter.
Bullying Baby Boomers often shrivel back into just being babies when they get bullied back the exact same way they bully others.
You jumping in to be a white knight in this situation is a reasonably good indicator you are also a hypocritical boomer, but I suppose its also just possible you could be of any age, or perhaps aren’t very fluent in English, or you are aren’t clever enough to deduce ‘what I did there’ in my comment, and have to have it all explained to you here, in this post.
Your generation are the petty tyrant masters.
Ah!
I totally skipped over that revenue figure, that is much more of a precise way to nail it down.
I submit my 5% or 10% loss chance to you, whoops!
Ah yes, I heard about that one when I was a kid, forgot to mention it!
Damn headless chicken stayed alive for weeks… months I think?
It would walk around attempting to peck at things with a head it didn’t have… they used a little dropper to squirt some mushed up food … directly into its throat…
…and it actually died because one day it choked during this kind of feeding session, concievably it could have lived longer had that not happened.
Or at least thats the ‘death account’ I remeber my grandpa telling me, apparently there are multiple stories as to what exactly cause Mike to pass on.
