World’s biggest Monster Hunter fan
Oh my god, this brought back memories!
I had a book as a small child about various weird plants. Pitcher plants, water lilies, stuff like that. I remember reading about a plant with no chlorophyll called the ghost plant or something and thinking it was the coolest thing ever, but I could never find that book again. This was also before I knew how to use the internet so I had no way of looking up the plant, thanks for reminding me of it!
Monster Hunter Wilds, coming out in a couple hours, is doing away with gender locked armor, but keeping the male and female armor sets (as in now male characters can wear female sets and vice versa) so I’ll let you know if there’s a maid outift in the game.
hey these are the guys that led me to new ingredients in monster hunter
"Here’s to our lives being meaningless, and how beautiful it is
Because freedom doesn’t have a purpose"
yow as in YOWCH! and ee as in ee-hee-hee-hee…
Me: “Man, I love chocolate so much, it’s a shame it makes my throat feel so tight and sore.”
My mom: “Hey Ash… You’re not allowed to eat chocolate any more…”
Ah, well that would do it then haha. I guess I just assumed you were on linux based on the community. It also runs silky smooth for me on my windows partition, so at least I’m not totally high and dry here!
I have a 4070, the beta is unplayably laggy on linux for me. What’s your setup?
The benchmark runs great for me at least, aside from a tiny bit of geometry explosion at one segment.

[An image composed of text at the top, followed by two pictures, each described as follows:
text: "Sometimes I text my wife the motivational quotes from her tampon when she has her period to try and cheer her up
picture 1: Three tampon packages. Each one is labelled with a different motivational quote.They read “Live fearlessly!”, “Walk like a champion.”, and “Be unstoppable.”
picture 2: a screenshot of an imessage conversation. The first message, blue, reads “Live fearlessly”. The second message, grey, reads “I swear to god, go fuck yourself”]

The lindor master chocolatier snapping my spine like a fresh chocolate bar:
people have been calling literal pathfinding algorithms in video games AI for decades. This is what AI is now and I think it’s going to be significantly easier to just accept this and clarify when talking about actual intelligence than trying to fight the already established language.
no that’s pretty much it. I was just making a joke over the fact that people love to hate on knowyourmeme, so maybe i should warn them before they accidentally visit the site they hate so much.
In Monster Hunter World’s iceborne expansion there’s a monster called Brachydios. It’s a giant blue monster that attacks by spreading explosive slime all over the arena and punching it to blow it up. In the postgame you can eventually fight a variant known as Raging Brachydios which is about twice as big and three times as agressive. For the most part it’s almost the same as the normal Brachy fight, just significantly more intense. That is, until near the end of the fight.
It should be noted that Monster Hunter games are hard. The base game is difficult. The expansions are even harder. The expansion post games? Brutal. Raging Brachydios is one of the most difficult fights I’ve ever had in a video game, only topped by the monsters that follow it in the same game. (soloing Fatalis is probably my greatest video game achievement of all time.)
So you’ve been stuck with this beast for about 20 minutes now, slowly wearing it down. You’re probably on your last life and you’ve burned through enough healing items to last you the entire base game. Finally this thing runs away, and you can tell you’re nearing the end. You sharpen your weapon one last time and follow the monster into that volcanic cavern.
Suddenly, it lets out a bellowing roar and starts rapidly punching the ground! Slime is flying everywhere and the entire room seems to heat up. You notice a message on the side of your screen: “Oh no! The entrance has been blocked off! Looks like you can’t use certain items!”. the Brachydios has sealed off your exits and disabled your traps and fast travel items. There is no running away. There is no capturing this thing. Neither of you are leaving this room until one of you is dead. You can tell Brachydios is getting desperate. It’s flailing wildly, throwing slime everywhere with none of the precision and technique it had before. It has recognized you as a serious threat and it does not want to die.
Eventually however, you triumph! The beast belts out one final roar and falls over dead. Exhausted, you take a moment to recover from that grueling fight and from its corpse you tear your well earned prize! Two ebonshell and a warhead. Looks like you’re gonna have to murder another couple dozen of these things for that immortal reactor. Happy hunting!
why does he remove one more period each line
Me when the walls seem always in one direction a fraction longer than the eye could endure, and in another direction a fraction less than the barest possible tolerable length
When I learned that frozen meat had ice physics and I could glue a pile of the stuff to the bottom of a plank with a fan on it to make an all-terrain sled I knew it was the greatest mechanic ever added to a video game
For real. I’ve seen the fingerprinting info, I know your website can see what language I’ve set, so display your website in that language!
