One of the things I liked in the recent season of Mushoku Tensei. They’re casting fire spells in a labyrinth and they warn the MC that they’ll suffocate if they use too many.

Neckbeards: having “facial” hair that basically only covers the neck. It’s the idea that these guys who don’t have the facial hair to grow a full beard have poor hygiene.

Incel: Involuntary Celibate, shortened to incel. Someone who can’t get laid for one reason or another. The propblem being the people who generally self-identity as incel, who are usually toxic and sexist.

These aren’t necessarily linked, but incels are usually the type to have such poor hygiene as to have a neckbeard.

Because a neck beard isn’t facial hair. It’s neck hair. Neckbeards are usually indications of poor hygiene rather than some appreciation of facial hair

This isn’t to say it’s not a game that won’t challenge reflexes if you let it. I think it’s fair to say better reflexes in a souls like can serve to make a boss easier as you play more on the edge. Of course this takes having your game knowledge and pattern recognition on point.

That’s really just a modern problem. If you were part of a tribe walking out of Africa, you’d never have that problem. Our feet are pretty impressive actually

Arizona, figure the context being the US would at least make that an easy search but guess not.

Then sometimes you’re like me, living in AZ, not even on a VPN, being told “You Texans should be asking for ID” and just wondering how the fuck that’s happening

Most modern phones also already do that and show 100% when they’re at ~80% because they want to optimize battery life.

“y’all’s conversation”. I’m referring to the whole comment chain happening in response to this post. Y’all are fucking silly.

The whole idea of “grandchildren are in my daughter’s ovaries” is a joke not to be taken seriously by anyone with half a brain but this entire chain is treating it like people seriously think entire little babies are stored in ovaries or testes, AND THEN BEING MAD OVER IT. THATS THE SILLY PART.

A more accurate description of the situation is that a broken clock is right twice a day as he validly complains about racists sending hate to his employees.

“Further, many phones are now programmed to shut off power once the battery is full, even if it remains plugged in.”

Quoting the article they linked for you. Since you seem to have either missed this important bit or are being pedantic. Unless your phone is 10 years old, it won’t.

My cashmere sweater from Nadaam. I have several and they’re comfy, stylish, and super warm. Their OG sweater (of which I own 3) are under $100, but the one I’m talking about is a recycled cashmere (made from leftovers of other products) which is thick and soft and fuckin amazing

Carhartt makes really good wool socks if you want recommendations

Some people also don’t take this anywhere that serious and y’all’s conversation seems really silly. Nobody on Lemmy (within reason, I’m sure there are idiots here too) is going to seriously argue that either gamete is a child.

These types of conversations are the ones that make me question just how prevalent autism is on Lemmy. People engage in wordplay and don’t literally mean what they say all the time yet these types of comments are 90% on posts like this.

I’ve kinda wanted to firebomb EA and Bioware offices for the shit they’ve put my partner through lol. She so desperately wanted DA4 to be a good CRPG, or at least follow close to Inquisition and carry on the story.

The Veilguard has shown none of that and every time something new for that shit show gets shown, I worry she’s going to cry.

There are electors for every senate seat. This gives disproportionate power to the small pop. states (which go R most of the time) so Dems are basically always working with a ~30 vote deficit in the electoral college.

The senate is an undemocratic institution meant to protect the wealth. Abolish the senate.

It’s not as much violent but Weaveworld by Clive Barker is in that dark fantasy vein, very good, very long.

Also dark, kinda cosmic, very good, is Imajica, also by Clive Barker. It’s almost 900 pages tho so you’ve been warned.

I came here to recommend The First Law trilogy. It’s the definition of gritty

They don’t fix it but they’re good. Really enjoyed Best Served Cold.

The Gentleman Bastard sequence is fantastic, Lies of Locke Lamora hooked me so hard. Can’t wait for the other 4 books. Highly recommend it.
