| Kuuko 02/17/22 2:13:00 PM #12 | WingsOfGood posted... so in theory there is a chance something like this might one day infect humansNot exactly the same but Rabies is a similar kind of idea if you think about it and can infect humans. It's not a fungus but similarly it causes a variety of weirdly specific symptoms to propagate itself to others. The virus thrives in saliva so one thing it does is cause a severe fear of water in hosts so that your saliva will accumulate more. And it causes the host animal to be extremely violent so that you're more likely to bite other things and spread that rabies-saliva around. Here's some more cool ones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavior-altering_parasite --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |

| Topic | would it be smarter to pay off my student loans instead of investing my money |
| Kuuko 02/14/22 10:56:54 AM #6 | It would be debatable if they were 2-3% loans but 6-9% you should absolutely put your excess money toward paying them off quicker. Private loans don't have any of the nice protections federal loans come with either. --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |
| Topic | what are some games you enjoy that are black sheep of their franchise? |
| Kuuko 02/11/22 12:54:15 PM #30 | DeadBankerDream posted... I really like Chain of Memories and the card combat in it.This. Well, Re:Chain of Memories. The first time I played it was around when it came out and it didn't "click". Halfway through the game I was exasperated at the card system and just wanted things to be normal again so I skipped to KH2. Years later with the HD Remasters I tried it again and got super into it. Understanding sleights and how easily some sleights can break everything was fun. And counter-intuitively, knowing I can easily progress by falling back on brokenly good sleights relaxed me into experimenting with all the less broken ways you can play the game. --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |

| Kuuko 02/04/22 10:28:42 AM #27 | Tyranthraxus posted... Funny story about this. The Chinese government allowed the challenge to happen provided that he wore clown makeup so people couldn't recognize him and had to fight under a fake name. The "chi master" accepted the challenge because he figured that without being able to rent, stay in hotels, fly, take trains, and constant threats to his safety he'd never actually get there to fight.Not sure when his most recent fight was but he does frequently upload videos on youtube, which he has to send to record and send to someone outside of China to upload obviously. He talks about lots of random topics other than his fights and censorship https://www.youtube.com/c/%E5%BE%90%E6%99%93%E5%86%AC%E5%8C%97%E4%BA%AC%E6%A0%BC%E6%96%97%E7%8B%82%E4%BA%BA --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |

| Kuuko 01/14/22 10:02:06 AM #26 | WrkHrdPlayHrdr posted... I honestly don't know what to make of that number because I don't know what percent of other generations "dislike sports" and the article is behind a paywall.Here's the fuller quote in context from the article: Only 23 percent of Generation Z said they were passionate sports fans, compared with the 42 percent of millennials (defined as 26 to 41), 33 percent of Generation X (42 to 57) and 31 percent of baby boomers (57 to 76) who identified themselves as passionate. More striking was that 27 percent of Gen Zers said they disliked sports altogether, compared with just 7 percent of millennials, 5 percent of Gen Xers and 6 percent of boomers. --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |

| Topic | The simple answer to why the DCEU isn't as good as the MCU |
| Kuuko 01/06/22 9:57:34 AM #18 | JimmyFraska posted... It's evident to me, that at multiple times they had different plans for a DCEU in place, but the plans kept changing. This simply comes down to no creative lead for DC having the same protections in place that Feige had in place for himself at Marvel. If Feige had not had multi year contracts to keep himself as captain, Marvel would have similarly fallen apart years ago.You are right. The plans, if there were any, must have been changed on the fly a bunch. One relevant thing I don't see brought up much in this discussion is that the 2011 Green Lantern movie with Ryan Reynolds was originally intended to be the beginning of the DCEU but after it came out and everyone hated it they changed plans and excluded it from Man of Steel's universe. But it shows that right from the very beginning they stumbled and tried to pivot. And then kept stumbling over and over afterward. Maybe in an alternate universe Wonder Woman 2017 kicks off the DCEU and they structure everything else around what went well in that movie and create something cohesive. --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |

| Kuuko 01/05/22 5:45:02 PM #34 | I am for forgiveness but forgiveness must also be part of a larger plan for systematic change to student loans and higher education in general. Just forgiving loans and calling it a day is like putting a band-aid on a tumor. --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |

| Kuuko 01/04/22 10:00:31 AM #7 | It's funny if you compare Carmack's twitter to Romero's now. Romero is mostly tweeting random Doom and Quake related things still. Carmack is tweeting extremely nuanced observations or efficiencies or bugs he finds in random programming libraries he's working with on any given day. --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |

| Kuuko 01/03/22 10:33:39 AM #3 | I don't think anyone would be able to remaster it. Nintendo can barely get SM64 and OOT to work correctly now and DK64 was held together with duct tape even when it was running on the N64, which is why it needed the RAM expansion pak. --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |

| Kuuko 01/02/22 11:57:17 PM #49 | saspa posted... I've never been able to beat Pokemon Stadium 2 round 2's final random masterball cupI actually did do these three and yes they're not easy at all. Well, Colosseum's isn't as bad as you think. Just tedious. I didn't have access to GBA games when I did it and can't remember if it even lets you use pokemon from those games anyway, so I used a team of Suicune, Raikou, Tyranitar, Metagross, Flygon, and Medicham - which are all shadow pokemon you get in the story. Most of the trainers' teams are pretty bad so it's just tiring. And Tyranitar's Sand Stream animation probably made the whole thing a few hours longer than it had to be. Pokemon Stadium 2's Round 2 in general is cruel to you. Less so if you can transfer GBC pokes instead of using the shitty rentals. I struggled most with the Little Cup. I did all gold symbol Emerald's Battle Frontier after over a decade of on and off attempts. I used RNG manipulation for the Battle Factory though. --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |

The Aniel fight and one of the Shesha fights are both unwinnable until the scripted event, even if you're on New Game+ and can do tens of thousands of damage without the event. Pretty sure there's a Strange Journey Redux fight against Alex that does it too. --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |

I guess because I'm 21If you are a student, try the Discover student card. It's basically the same as the non-student card (which is itself a decently good one) and they seem to accept everyone pretty much.

| Kuuko 12/19/21 8:05:15 PM #19 | There is a lot I could say about the show and about each individual episode but instead of getting into everything I'll just stick to the point that I agree the animation really sucked. I thought it looked uncanny from the initial trailers and I was really hoping it would all look better in context but it was just as bad. Confusing how Disney of all companies can fuck up animation so hard, and with a spinoff for the biggest film series on the planet. --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |

| Kuuko 12/16/21 1:07:25 PM #11 | I see a lot of criticism about our recent batch of old people presidents and I agree with it for the most part too - but it's not because young candidates aren't running. There were a bunch of candidates in 2016 and in 2020 that would've been some of the youngest presidents in history. For some reason all of the American voters are just more interested in the old people running. Trump, Clinton, Sanders, Biden, etc. were all the most popular recent candidates and all the oldest or would've been the oldest at the time of their inauguration. --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |

| Topic | Why are the vaccinated so worried about the unvaccinated? |
| Kuuko 12/15/21 6:58:49 PM #27 | Jx1010 posted... When was the vaccine ever effective?You understand that the reason for the mutations is because of the spread of the virus, yes. More vaccination = less spread. Less spread = less mutations. Less mutations = less need for vaccine. That's why vaccines are so encouraged. This is how we were able to defeat other viral diseases like polio and smallpox, for example. It is honestly a modern wonder that over the course of hundreds of thousands of years humans have dealt with viral diseases, and only in the last couple hundred years have we finally found a way to beat viruses back. And yet, despite that, there is a surprisingly large number of people today fighting not to use it. --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |

| Kuuko 12/15/21 6:33:25 PM #29 | Doom_Art posted... The covfefe oneThe important context around covfefe is that the Trump administration doubled down on it. Sean Spicer, the press secretary at that time, claimed in the White House briefing that day that "covfefe" was actually sort of a secret message that those in the know understand. I suppose because to say that Trump made a typo would be admitting weakness. For that reason I agree it encapsulate the Trump administration. --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |

| Topic | Yeah you can kiss democrats goodbye next term |
| Kuuko 12/15/21 12:57:28 PM #82 | Doe posted... And part of Biden's legacy will be refusing to change the seats on the Supreme Court, which congress can absolutely do.If Clinton had the votes in 2016 you wouldn't even be discussing this. She would have replaced Scalia's seat, Ginsburg's seat, and possibly Kennedy's seat assuming he might have stepped down still. Then the Dems would have a 5-4 or even 6-3 (depending on Kennedy) majority in the Supreme Court and there'd be no pressure on abortion at all. That majority likely would've lasted for a decade or two. That's what would've happened if voters did vote. Your weird argument for voting being useless is counter-intuitive and actively dangerous. There's a reason the Republican party relies so much on depressing voter turnout - for this exact reason. Anyway, if you plan on spearheading a revolution or something instead then let me know. I can lend you some pitchforks or something. I wish you the best of luck with it either way. --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |
| Topic | Yeah you can kiss democrats goodbye next term |
| Kuuko 12/15/21 12:41:06 PM #74 | Doe posted... Yeah because the democrats are fighting so fiercely to curtail that party's power XD. Abortion getting banned in half the states is gonna be Biden's legacy at this rateThe abortion thing is happening in the Supreme Court. It's an issue because Trump was able to grab 3 Supreme Court seats, pushing the bench further into a Republican majority. A couple of his new picks will likely be there for decades. It's literally Trump's legacy. The Democratic SC judges are against it. This is exactly the type of point you should make in the other direction - how significant it is to let a Republican president into the executive branch and I recall this sort of warning being brought up all the time in 2016 when both-siders were trying to say how they feel like abstaining from voting because all the politicians are the same. If you care for abortion in either direction then that's one area where they're literally far from the same. --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |
