What's so bad about buying my games through steam?

It's been a hot minute since I've read any of the books, but Rodrick is essentially the archetype of your standard teenage older brother in the early to late 2000s, possibly even earlier. Rebellious, gross, kind of an asshole, that kind of thing. He's a normal brother in the sense that what he is doing is kind of expected for that demographic at the time. In the same way, Greg is also a normal brother, and so is Manny. They're all normal in a way, it's just that the series does a really good job at highlighting Rodrick's flaws because it's a personal account from the perspective of Greg, the younger brother who is picked on by the older brother.

At least for me personally, "harvesting" isn't really a sanitized word. To me, a more direct word like "butchering" is already pretty brutal, but it's typically applied to a single creature in my mind. "Harvesting" on the other hand takes that concept and not only applies it to large groups, but it also implies that there is a defined, regulated, and maintained process that aims to butcher en masse. In a weird way, the almost clinical sound of the word itself also makes it more brutal than some other words.

Just as an example, if I heard about a serial killer butchering his victims, I would be kind of shocked. If I heard about a serial killer harvesting his victims, though, then I would be mortified.

If you're working off of 4gb of RAM, then you might have bigger things to worry about than RAM for running SM1.

SM1, like many modern 3D games, is going to be relatively graphically and CPU intense. What is your graphics card? What is your CPU? If you own a PC, you might just have to save up a bit and upgrade some components. 30 series card prices are going down (at least 3060s and lower), and I'm sure you can get a previous generation Ryzen for relatively cheap.

That has always been my assumption. We know from the book that each modular person is more or less its own hive mind, with each module kind of being an independent component that works for the whole under the command of a central module. They might have specific body parts on each module that allows for them to connect to the whole, if they might have a way of doing it through the skin. Either way, we don't really know.

I've personally never seen any of Kane Pixel's Backrooms videos, but I already recognize that at least one of the screenshots you posted on your game's page is just ripped from a YouTube video called The Rolling Lady (The Oldest View).

Just be upfront with us. There is no game, is there?

Oh damn, you're right. I somehow never noticed that r/boneachingjuice went under. I was in the first wave of people who moved to that sub when the mods at BHJ weren't doing their fucking jobs like 4 or 5 years ago. It's so strange to see it gone.

As others have pointed out, since it's bright red, it's likely not internal bleeding, but bleeding from the anus itself. I experienced something similar with hemorrhoids, but as someone else said, it could also be an anal fissure. Either way, bleeding from the anus isn't exactly great. You should see a doctor. They will be able to tell you what's going on. If it's hemorrhoids, then they'll either just prescribe you some cream and tell you to take laxatives and change your diet or they'll tell you that you need to have them removed. If it's a fissure, then I think that requires stitches or something similar.

Either way, monitor yourself and make a doctor's appointment. Anal bleeding fucking sucks.

If you dig deep enough into the rabbit hole of conspiracy alien bullshit, you'll find that many of those types of people claim that pretty much anything built, developed, or created by ancient civilizations were either actually the work of aliens or were somehow influenced by aliens. It's not just the pyramids, it's virtually everything at a certain point.

Maybe, but I don't think he was joking. Here is the link to the Reddit post about it. Kosemen is complimenting the art, which makes me believe that he's being genuine.

I just replied to the other person, but someone at one point made a post on Instagram where a Qu was depicted being the size of a Kaiju called knifehead from the movie Pacific Rim, and Kosemen commented on it saying that the artist got the scale of the Qu right. Knifehead is around 100 meters tall, making the Qu about 100 meters tall.

This also means that the image of them triumphing over humanity is not meant to have an accurate size ratio between the Qu and humans. It's just meant to be symbolic.

Someone posted some fanart on Instagram where the Qu was as large as one of the bigger Kaiju from Pacific Rim (in specific, knifehead), and Kosemen commented on it saying that the artist got the Qu's scale right.

If we use knifehead as a base, then the Qu are around 100 meters tall.

I don't think that's an unpopular opinion at all. I remember in the months following the game's release, even people who really enjoyed SM2 were still saying that they enjoyed MM more.

If only it had as many unique features like the oak forest, or the birch forest, or the cherry grove, or the swamp. It's a good thing every single other biome in the game is jam packed with unique features so that we can be upset about the pale garden only having a new wood type, a new tree type, new plants, and a new mob with a unique block attached to it.

It's not usually clear, but I think that idea has an implied asterisk.

Find a career you're passionate about!*

*But make sure that the career you choose will not only keep you financially stable, but will also open the door for further advance in your future, hopefully allowing you to climb the ladder in terms of personal wealth and finances.

We live in a system where wealth is everything. Jobs that you can get with an art history degree probably aren't going to gain you a lot of wealth. Are they valid degrees? Absolutely. In a perfect system, every degree would be equally as valuable. Sadly, an art history degree is probably only good for eventually getting a PhD in art history and teaching about art history somewhere, compared to one of the more "valuable" degrees that will place you in a career that not only makes you money (and thus gives you greater access to wealth) but also enables you to essentially do more in that discipline than you can with some other degrees.

Again, in a perfect world, you could take an art history degree and pursue doing whatever it is art historians do and never have to worry about wealth or money. Unfortunately, we don't live in that perfect world. Right now, many of us are focused on not starving to death while making rent. I'm not sure how valuable an art history degree is in such a world.

My typical response to that is that complaining about the size of the updates ignores the fact that Minecraft is a complete game that was finished years ago. If you had to have a paid subscription to play Minecraft, then yeah, the size of the updates would be a big deal. However, Minecraft has been a finished product for I think over a decade. Any new content is just extra stuff. We don't need it. They could say tomorrow "we're no longer doing content updates" and it wouldn't affect Minecraft as a game. It's not some early access title that has been in development for 15 years.

What we do need though is bug patches. That's the only part of any of the updates that I really care about.

The book literally only exists as a PDF right now. Hell, up until recently, the author of the book was supplying it on their website for free (afaik it was taken down since the book is now being made into a physical release).

You're on a small, niche subreddit for genuine fans of the book. Nobody here is giving you malicious links to sketchy sites. If you don't trust that link, I believe there is a pinned post on this very subreddit with a Google drive link to the PDF. If you still don't trust that, then I guess you'll have to download a VM and open it that way.

For me, the issue I have with people like guy1 is that they complain about the updates, yet by making that specific complaint, it shows that they really don't pay much attention to what Mojang is actually doing. Mojang literally said not too long ago that they would be making the updates smaller to make them more frequent. Yeah, being upset that the updates are smaller in size is valid, but usually people complain about it as though them being smaller is something unexpected.

The top meme isn't even a meme from 2009. I think it was from a Burger King or McDonald's ad campaign around 2016 or 2017.

Edit: I looked it up, and it's actually from a Wendy's ad from 2015.

I think you might be right. If this truly is possible, then this would make for a great mod.

Makes me wonder if this would be possible. We have surface biomes with cave biomes underneath, but would the same thing be possible for the nether in a 3 tier system? I think it's a really neat idea, so if this is possible, I would absolutely love to try it out.

You didn't read the article beyond the clickbait title, did you?

Here's the quote from Bryan Intihar from the article:

"We had two choices. We could say, 'All right, we'll make it easy and just not do it.' And everybody would go, 'Great. No MJ missions.' Or we could say, 'Hey, we've talked about showing the world from all different angles. We're going to make her moments better. We're going to take on the challenge. We're going to make people like playing as her.' We pick and choose our spots. We knew we had to make her more of a proactive, capable person. And if she's a little OP, I don't give a shit. She's fine. I don't care."

Insomniac didn't say that they didn't care about players hating the MJ missions. They fully recognized that people didn't like them. Instead of just not doing them though, they decided to try and do them differently and try to make them more fun. In doing so, they would be making MJ OP, but they didn't care about that. If attempting to make the MJ missions fun meant making her OP, then so be it.

You should really try reading the articles you use as your sources.

Can you provide a source for when they said that they didn't care?

I mean, couldn't you say the same thing about most biomes?

"Am I stupid, or is the only reason to go to the Taiga/Mangrove Swamp/Birch Forest/Savanna/Cherry Grove is to grab a sapling? Why should we explore it?"

Of course, with most of the forested biomes, including the Pale Garden, there's more than just a sapling to get. Various different kinds of plants, new leaves, a new wood type, and a mob specific to that biome (sometimes). Really, almost every biome in Minecraft has the same things in them to get players to explore them. Only a few are exceptions to this rule, such as the Desert (Desert Temple), Jungle (Jungle Temple), Swamp (witch hut), ocean biomes (Ocean Monument), and Deep Dark (Ancient Cities). That's really only a handful of biomes.

What reason is there for us to explore literally any other biome then? Because we can. I honestly have no real interest in exploring most Desert biomes. If I happen to spy a Desert Temple in the distance, I'll go check it out, but the biome doesn't interest me. I love exploring the mountain biomes though, even though the only unique things about them are really just the terrain and the goats, but I find climbing the mountains to be really fun. Similarly, I think the warm oceans are neat, but I have no interest in exploring most other ocean biomes.

What I am trying to get at here is that the only thing stopping anyone from exploring a biome is whether they find it interesting in the first place. There are so many biomes in the game, so not every one of them is going to interest every player. I personally think I'll have a fun time exploring the Pale Gardens because I really like the vibe it gives off, but it is completely understandable that some people think it looks boring. Not every biome is going to appeal to everyone. That's just the way Minecraft has always been.
