Until it releases they will defeat hornet every day and upload it
Although they have not reached 6 years yet, they are already at day 954.
For those unfamiliar with hollow knight:
Hornet is a character which appears twice as a boss in hollow knight. She is supposed to be the protagonist of the sequel called Silk Song, which was announced in 2019 and "recently" got a steam store page. -
Comment on What was it like choosing your own name? in ~lgbt

The...When I was around 6 years old I took ballet classes and there was this one girl called Rahel I was for some reason infuriated with (today I would say she was someone I aspired to be like).
The name and the concept of her stuck with me for my whole life.
I daydreamed all the time and in these stories I would most times be a girl/woman called Rahel (with different backstories). In games this would also be the name of the characters I played. In my late teenage years I played with the thought of naming my first daughter Rahel, but it just felt really wrong to me.In conclusion it is a name that stuck with me for almost my whole life and it feels natural to use and associate myself with it.

You can see such a difference in behaviour between the car drivers of these two cities. In my hometown it is very pleasant, because the cars drive much more safely and considerate. In my current city they are more aggressive (driving style and reactions), inconsiderate and frankly just dangerous, often injuring cyclists in the process. You have to drive aggressively yourselves, to protect your safety and the right to be on the street i.e. driving further on the road to have the possibility to sway right when the car overtakes you dangerously close.

Every new content that is not part of a base game update is a DLC. If I would have payed 100€ for a "all future DLCs included" version I would seek legal action to get my money back.

Comment on The International Olympic Committee published a study comparing trans- and cisgender athletes in ~lgbt
Tuna LinkLink to the paper. From the article:From the article:
It’s just one study, so we should avoid drawing grand conclusions from it, but, at the very least, the study shows that the bodies of trans women who’ve been on at least one year of hormone replacement therapy are very, very different from cis men’s bodies. In their conclusion, researchers cautioned against hurdling into blanket bans on trans women’s participation in women’s sports and declared that using data comparing cis men and cis women’s bodies to justify these bans is wrong.
Just this week, the conservative crusade against trans athletes reached a new low as Oklahoma state athletic officials proposed punishing All Elite Wrestling for featuring a trans woman in its women’s division during a show held in Oklahoma City. That’s professional wrestling … where the outcomes are predetermined and scripted. Now they’re saying we have no right to even be in fake sports.

Every cent you make gets deducted from the welfare fund. This has the consequence of feeling "punished" for trying to get out of poverty. There is no way to start saving for future opportunities (like moving cities for a new job).
I fear ever getting the benefits, because once you're in there it's almost impossible to ever get out and the longer you stay the higher the hurdle becomes. -

There are so many people parking like complete assholes. For example they park so far on the sidewalk that you are not able to use the sidewalk properly: if you have a babystroller or a wheelchair you do not have the space to pass the car and are forced to walk on the street.
There is currently no proper way to make the police enforce good parking.
I would remove the monetary incentive for "snitching" to prevent abuse, but keep the possibility of contacting the authorities to improve the safety for pedestrians. -

It would allow for a blessed weapon and makes the beginning possible, since there is no attack miracle for any starter class. I will probably put a few other runs before this, because it is quite similar to the sorcery only run.
If I remember correctly you can find the broken straight sword only after gundyr. In which way would you kill him without voiding the run?
I forgot to mention the firebomb only run, which is also on my list.
I would also love to d a riposte only, but sadly there are a few non-parryable bosses...

My first run was a run without levelling. I didn't had the stats for any 100% shield, so I did the whole run without any shield. I also went with the lightest armor, to still be able to fast roll. Most boss attacks were able to oneshot me, which could be quite frustrating. At least loosing souls didn't have the same impact, since you have no use for them.
My weapon of choice were the winblades with a fire infusion which was pretty busted. For the last fight, I switched to raw to triple my damage. I used the Caestus in my off hand, for some parrying (looking at you pontiff sulyvan).
The bosses that gave me the most trouble were the princes , dragonslayer armour and the dancer. Funnily enough, the endboss was beaten on the second try.My current run is only with sorceries (no physical hits). With this run troublesome enemies become a piece of cake and vice versa. I had the fear that I would have trouble with having enough mana for the bosses, which up till now was not a problem.
The hardest boss by far was the tree, since it is so hard to hit the eggs without locking on and the crystal mage, since you just can't burst him fast enough and have to stand still to cast the spells which opens you up for clone attacks.Future runs might include:
- bow only
- crossbow only
- deathless
- fists only
- daggers only
- physical staff attacks only
- no rolling
- miracles only (not sure about this one yet)
- pyromancy only

Comment on What's a "house rule" that has made a game more fun for you? in ~games
Tuna Link ParentMy houserules for Uno are: +2 cards can only be increased with other +2 cards (not the +4) +4 cards are fixed and can't be increased if you have to draw cards due to +2/+4 cards, your turn is...My houserules for Uno are:
- +2 cards can only be increased with other +2 cards (not the +4)
- +4 cards are fixed and can't be increased
- if you have to draw cards due to +2/+4 cards, your turn is skipped after drawing
- Black on black is forbidden
The last point adds a layer of tactic to the last card. You can prevent an automatic win with with a black card as the last card by playing a black card yourself and force the player to play a coloured card.

The winner is responsible for cleaning the game up.If you loose due to just bad luck, there is a certain level of saltiness that you might experience. You can then either get a happiness boost that you won't have to clean the game up, or just allow yourself to get distance to the game and do something else to uplift your current mindset.
The winner gets a small dampening effect on their win and has time, while cleaning up, to reflect on the fairness of the game.
Most of the times everyone helps cleaning up, but it helps to keep the peace on very frustrating matches.
It has also the added benefit of teaching kids. The winner has time (while clearing the table) to reflect on their win and figure out if it was mostly luck, or if they played really well, which in turn reduces boasting and taunting about their win. The loser learns that it is ok to distance yourself from "unfair" losses and teaches them ways to cope with it.

As @DefinitelyNotAFae kindly posted there are travel alerts concerning this topic going back to autumn 2023. It is also point number one under Local Laws warning about it.
While it might be too harsh of a punishment for the crime, you are a guest in their country and as such you automatically agree to follow their laws when entering their borders. If you don't like it or can't abide by their rules, then don't take vacation there.
As a queer person there are a lot of countries I can't travel to. Do I criticise it? Of course! Do I travel there? Hell no!
As outsiders it is not our place to dictate how they govern themselves.
