Not with that attitude

Women didn’t exist back in those days /s (last time i omitted the /s on a joke didn’t go very well lmao)

Ok, this may be wrong history but I could have sworn I saw some article a few years ago explaining that this marriage happened because it was the middle of the great depression and her parents couldn’t afford to feed her or something like that.

Makes it worse, imo.

That said, was he a pedo? If sex happened then obviously yes, but I thought this marriage was a charity case more so than a “indulge a pedo who’s interested in our daughter during the depression” situation…

I’m gonna have to go find that article at some point…

Edit: welp, I went looking for it, couldn’t find it, so everything above this line may be bullshit, but based on the age she had her first child at, yeah I’d say that obviously counts as some pedo shit

Ngl, pretty rude to just go poking around in stranger’s holes like that without warning lmao (/s/jk/etc)

Oh I see! That’s far fancier than anything I’ve really ever even imagined lol i thought Louis Vuitton was designer but that would mean the designers name is just the brand… Which is interesting to see! Thank you for enlightening me!

For sure, they’re just the first thing that comes to mind when I see a generic looking boot lol thanks for the tips! Definitely checking out rose anvil tonight!

I mistook the boots as docs and the shoes are Nike… I’m layman level though, and there does appear to be a difference between designer and branding that I don’t fully understand… Though it appears to be even though you may recognize the brand, the brand itself may not be designer (is that about right? You obviously know more than me, so feel free to tell me I’m wrong!)

If “woke” hadn’t become a political buzzword, would Elon have said what that refrain used to be? As in, would he also have said that atheists just replaced god with the worship of science? Absolute stupidity and smooth brainery regardless

Funilly enough, it seems if you put those specific meanings behind individual emoji, and also display the amount of those emoji accrued, it seems like that would fix the issue, except for more obvious cases of unintended use, like trolling and polling.

Aka, I think Facebook may have figured that out via the expanded reaction suite (rather than just having the like button)

But as Lemmy currently stands, I 100% agree with you

Ahh that makes sense. I only remember switching out entire sets when I was doing a 3 monster hunt on a time limit, so I think it likely includes weapons to switch out.

And congrats on getting it finally!!! That taste of victory is always sweet!

I love grinding for armor, that “to get” list that alerts you when you have all the components needed makes planning out armor builds a breeze. That’s one qol update that I really miss in MHGU.

As for the joycons, it’s no big deal anymore. I already dropped some money trying new joycons, and that didn’t work so I’ll just cut my losses and deal with not having a dockable switch. It’s not like I used it a lot before, it probably stopped working on one of my long breaks from the switch lol

I mean, it’s probably less likely to happen, but it is a prison disease, which means it can kind of just suddenly happen if a protein folds the wrong way (if I’m not misreading the internet wrong about it)

Though it seems like you’re relatively safe if you stay away from brain tissue, so I guess you’re probably fine.

Still, I’ll just ask you what it tastes like before I’d try it myself haha

Enjoy your side of kuru! It’s the gift that waits to give, but once it starts, it never stops!

Oh the Palico system is super fun! You get to have 2 Palico come with you on hunts and you can have up to like 36 hired Palico that can go on separate adventures (they’re called meownster hunters in that mode). You can also have a palico make trades with offscreen villages to get extra resources (this is replaced by the tree box in World). You also have Palico levels for each Palico, and they increase level through either training or going on hunts with you. It’s just an absolutely adorable wrapper to a good minigame system.

It’s been a while since I’ve played World but I have a distinct memory of being able to change armor at the camps. I could be wrong though, so don’t hate me if this is a false memory lol

Hr bone armor should be pretty decent but if you can get the LR rathian armor, I think that comes with poison resistance as a perk, you’d have to check to be sure though (plus, HR bone armor is going to give you way more protection than LR rathian armor, but if it’s the poison that’s carting you, it might actually work)

My switch just doesn’t connect to the joycon anymore. Idk what I did, it might just be normal wear and tear since I got this switch during the initial big rush when they were first on sale. I might just need to wait until the switch 2 or whatever it might be called comes out though. I did buy some off brand joycons, so they might not be fully updated yet, I just found out today. Will have to try upgrading the firmware tomorrow!

Hehe I used to mindlessly grind technique in the training room of World so keeping my shield and sword charged became second nature for a while. I saw some memes about it being hard and my stubbornness came out lol. Hammer is just like learning how to be patient and not always run at the monster (and learning to put your weapon away to move faster lol)

As for going backwards, it’s not super bad. I was surprised that the switchblade controls were about the same, just fewer moves. I hated the loading screens at first but now I’m just used to them. I do prefer that World has a few monsters that can interact with each other in every map instance, but I like how MHGU has more areas to visit. I also absolutely love the Palico system in MHGU that is completely missing from World (though it sounds like they may have added it to Rise? I’m not sure about that). All in all, I think I was expecting a major step down to a DS game and ended up actually getting a very nice Switch port, so while I was expecting it to sort of be not easily playable, I’m very much pleasantly surprised by what it turned out to actually be.

Ahh the good old “you don’t have enough damage to capture me” dilemma. I’m a freak about upgrading to specific monsters in World (not at that stage yet in MHGU) so when I go after a 3 monster hunt, I usually have to visit camp to switch out my armor (biggest complaint I have about MHGU is that this feature is missing but it DOES add challenge to how I approach hunts. Unfortunately, right now, my best idea is to max attack for every hunt though lol)

are you also a “capture all the monsters” kinda hunter? My biggest pride is when I can 0/x a monster type lol (sometimes very hard, especially up against like a bulldrome that just never shows when its limping because it’s almost always in rage mode)

Honestly I’m surprised you can survive with just bone armor against a pink rathian. Your dodge game must be godly! I wish you the best luck possible!

Ahh I didn’t know about the limited release, good on you for voting with your wallet regardless! If you ever get into emulators and end up being able to try it out, it was just exactly what I wanted after an entire childhood filled with Super Mario Sunshine (an even better game, imo). There’s really no reason I should dislike Odyssey though, it’s cute and it’s got everything it should.

Now if only I could get my joycon to connect to the switch farther than half a foot away so I can go back to using the dock x.x

And thank you! I’ve heard there are some nasty fights to look forward to (I’m excited about the Rajang fight, personally, but I also anticipate some rage haha) so I will take all the luck I can get!

Oh man I absolutely loved World. I mained switchblade on that one. I decided to go with hammer to switch it up in MHGU (biggest difference is having to have patience instead of hack and slash). I haven’t done any of the academy quests, so my hunter rank is still 1 in MHGU, but on World I have HR 61 (Im pretty sure that’s pretty low but I’ve been going at my own pace) and MR 10

I absolutely love rathian fights. If you have poison resistance, it’s basically just a big old doge and slash fest with the occasional flash bang to drop em out of the sky. I feel like long sword might be more skill heavy than switchblade, but keep on with it and you’ll get there!

Im currently still technically on iceborn so it might be a few hobby cycles before I get to Rise, but I do plan on playing it eventually.

As for Odyssey, it currently feels like a less good Galaxy, but Galaxy came out right when I was in the throws of teenage video game euphoria, so I’ve been forcing myself to give it a fair shot. I heard a saying that people get stuck in the entertainment they had when they were teenagers, and that seems to be true enough. I don’t want to miss out just because I have too much nostalgia for Galaxy though.

I saw some videos about how Odyssey changes the music based on different actions you take in game, and I’m excited to see that effect in action, so I do have reason to play, it’s just that MHGU is perfect to listen to a podcast to while hunting lol I’ll get there though, it might just be a while

Hijacking my own comment in case anyone else is interested in this, apparently it’s called e ink, and they’re just now starting to come out with full color monitors using it. Very cool stuff!

I’m not sure if this would accomplish what you’re looking for, but it did give me an idea: wouldn’t it be cool if they had a monitor that used the fake ink effect (that thing that non-backlit digital books sometimes use) to make displays look “more natural” (read: different in an interesting way)

I think that’d be cool at the very least, and, due to it not being backlit, it would possibly get rid of the blue light issue (i’m not an expert in this field so idk how much of an issue blue light actually is when it comes to dopamine overdrive)

I might try and make a monitor like this if I can gather the skills to do it, I am only getting more excited about this idea lol

Ty for the inspiration!

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is my current obsession. Hunting monsters, swinging hammer, etc. It’s a good time. Once I’m done or bored of it, my next games are super Mario Odyssey (just got it recently for super cheap) and then Legend Of Zelda Skyward Sword (same deal). I’m set for a good long time though based on how much of an amazing time sink MHGU is. I already have 50+ in game hours and my Hunter Rank is laughably low still.

Well I mean, that does make sense. I still believe tiktok [https://youtu.be/Ti8v4eL8oIE](really is a bit of spyware) (sorry for the longish YouTube video) but that could definitely be a contributing factor to this case

Ah I can’t really argue with that.

Republicans “trust me, bro”'d the US into shitty situations time and time again, and I’m slightly worried if we give them the ability to ban apps, they will not stop until the only shit left is Truth Social. They love their fucking echo chambers, as much as they used to rail against them.

I think that’s why my kneejerk reaction is to distrust their reasoning, but I did get what I was looking for in another part of this thread:

If the CCP can monitor you indefinitely, and have enough man/ai power to pull it off, they could theoretically social engineer infrastructure attacks without actually putting themselves at almost any legal risk (blackmailing is always illegal, but the methods used to get the blackmail would be hidden in the tandc’s)

Unfortunately, all I hear from republicans is tiktok=China, China=bad without any of these sorts of details, which is why I approached this with such skepticism initially

I literally can not imagine what life in China must be like. Especially for someone of about my socioeconomic class. I may have seen American Factory a while ago, but in case I’m thinking of the wrong thing, I’ll check it out again. Thanks for the rec!

(Also, in case it’s not clear, I wasn’t saying the US was anywhere near as bad as or better than China in regards to anything, just that I couldn’t tell if this specific rattling was just republican red scare bs or if it actually had substance to it. Turns out, there’s some substance to it, they’re just not articulating a position well on it, imo)
