My girlfriend is a zookeeper, and her zoo's primate department rule of thumb about the great apes is that if you leave say, a screwdriver on a gorilla paddock, they'll pick it up, play with it a bit, see what it tastes like, and then probably drop it. The chimps will pick it up, taste it, and the use it as a weapon during a murderous blood rage against anything in the immediate area that isn't also a chimp. The orangutans will pick it up, carefully conceal it, and while nobody is looking, use it to build a multistage rocket to return to their homeworld.

It's not even about what the word means. It's about the reaction to the word being used. Are you saying it's appropriate to freak out about someone saying any word that has a sexual alternate definition? Makes you look like a child.

No, actually. The smoke no longer bothers them. In Zelda 1, a correctly placed bomb would stun the dodongo with the smoke, and you could kill it with a single sword blow. Otherwise, 2+ bombs because you screw up and feed it the bombs.

Cheez posted:

I already pointed out earlier in the thread why putting bombs in a dodongo's mouth is not what the old man means by "dodongo dislikes smoke". It's literal, guys. It's not a funny mistranslation or engrish or even a bad hint.

Cheez posted:

Doesn't need explaining, the point I've been desperately trying to make for several pages now is that people keep associating the smoke thing with feeding it the bombs, and that's just entirely missing the idea of the hint.

Maybe if people were better at reading the thread I wouldn't have to keep saying it over and over like a broken record. Nerd rage has nothing to do with people not listening.

He posted a video showing that if you blow up the bomb next to him you can kill him when he hits the smoke.

It doesn't matter because it's super obvious that the clue is that you should use bombs in some manner, and he's being weirdly spergy about his interpretation of a game that contains phrases like "eastmost peninsula is the secret", I'm sure they were choosing their words very carefully.

It's worth noting that the Pokemon one was specifically for Twitch Plays Pokemon:

Cheez posted:

So while I slept, the same retards who decided having Eevee was a good idea also decided to go to the PC and did the exact thing everyone else was telling them would happen but somehow it wouldn't happen because "we've done it before" (with about half the people watching/playing and without all the people who left in frustration)

And what's left appears to be pretty much the result of allowing thousands of stupid people to try and make the same decision.


So all those level 15 guys that died immediately and never could cause damage were better then

He was actually very mad about the fact that the internet was playing a game boy game from 1997 wrong.

We can get eevee, all we need is a water stone to make it evolve and we can use surf :downs:

We can fix this, all we have to do is go to the PC and deposit eevee, we've done this before :downs:

Now what? You have a grand total of one pokemon with weak moves. Assuming anyone even gets past the safari zone, assuming anyone gets past victory road, assuming anyone gets to the elite four, there is no backup plan. And you don't see how a bunch of people collectively thinking like this is horrifying when applied to actual real life situations.

Cheez posted:

I'm convinced orteil is at least partly retarded, because he responded to an ask on his tumblr saying that farms/factories/mines are too weak, saying they're early game content and they shouldn't be good, and all that garbage.

So what about cursors? grandmas? they're HUGE. It isn't until time machines that the two of them stop being cost effective with all upgrades. Meanwhile, farms lag so far behind it isn't even funny. 230 farms, the next one is going to cost 45 quadrillion. 230 farms gets... 4600 cookies per second. If it wasn't for all the % boosts it would never be worth it to have any. A cursor is the first thing you get, and a grandma is the second. Why can't the third thing you get, a farm, ever become remotely useful for anything besides increasing your building count and getting an achievement?

Cheez posted:

Everybody. When someone says the early stuff should be less powerful, and has a game where the two earliest things outweigh almost everything else, is it not a very stupid thing to say?

YES, IT IS STUPID. Stop fighting that. That's horrible.

Surprised there is no methamphetamine thread on these forums. I've been going through an 8ball I purchased and as someone who has used cocaine for years (GOOD coke, off darknets) I can honestly say meth is 100x better, and this is coming from somebody who used to look down on it as a "dirty" drug.

I started out doing 80mg dissolved in 30iu of saline, injected intravenously and proceeded to have the most intense rush of any drug ive ever done (I've injected cocaine, crack, heroin, and ketamine for comparison). I ended up getting dizzy about 5 seconds after the shot and vomited 2-3 times but when the nausea passed I was loving HIGH. If you have ever IV'd cocaine you know how intense that first 30 second rush is, now multiply it by 10 and have it last 6 hours and thats pretty much it. I never got the whole "tweaking" out aspect, which im assuming comes from not sleeping for days. I just felt loving fantastic for 16 hours, then took some xanax and went to bed and all was well.

It was more euphoric and less "speedy" then I had anticipated and insanely CLEAN, but I'm sure a lot of that was because of the quality of the drug itself. I could easily see the addiction potential since this stuff is potent and CHEAP ($100 for 3.5g) but I never saw the appeal of staying up for days and during my experimentation always slept and ate right during the experience. I initially bought the meth as a joke, just to do it to say that I've done it, and I can honestly say that I would recommend it to anybody (assuming intensity is your cup of tea).

I just cant believe I wasted all those years spending so much money and having to go to the bar bathroom every 15 mins to maintain my desired high when now I just do an injection before I go out for the night and I'm still peaking 6 hours later.

10/10, gently caress the stigma and the haters.

mom posted:

I dunno, a shot in the morning in my left arm, and a shot in the right in the afternoon has been treating me a lot better then doing 5g of coke in 4 hours doing shots every 15 mins like clockwork. poo poo ive gone through an entire box of 100 needles in a 3 day weekend coke binge before.

If you have enough self control and self awareness meth is fantastic. I definitely wanted to stay up for days re-dosing and keep the high going but in the back of my head I always know I need my food, water, 8 hours of sleep, and gotta work my 40 hours so I have a place to live, but i could see someone easily say "gently caress it" and go for broke and keep the roller coaster going, then you start seeing shadow people after not eating or sleeping for a week and now your a "tweaker".

Also the meth of today is WAY different from the meth of 5-10 years ago, you would honestly have trouble selling lovely shake and bake mom-and-pop ghetto meth since now fully equipped superlabs are being built in Mexico, getting pure shipments of precursor pseduo from chinese wholesalers, and then made by qualified chemists who know their poo poo (i know that sounds all breaking bad but its true). Then all they do is ship that poo poo to San Diego under a drug tunnel and now the streets are awash with 95%+ pure methamphetamine at rock bottom prices. Even El Chapo Guzman (prior to arrest) has stated he purposely has been lowering the price and increasing purity of his product to push low level wannabees out of the market. Same thing is happening with heroin if your properly connected; im floored by some of the poo poo i've been doing recently.

Plain amphetamine is probably much more suited if you must do that, I've done loads of multiple monthsspeed binges to minor psychological side effects. Hey, it gets dosed out to kids in the USA it must be fine!(joke)

15mg up the nose would provide a similar buzz and you won't smell of cum or go mental. Might take all of a minute longer to hit though sorry dude.

I used to hang out on TCC a few years ago on a different account (which I no longer use for obvious reasons) and there was some kid who posted a bit in the mushroom thread, just getting started, very fresh-faced and eager. I saw his name posted a while ago and checked his post history - from what I can recall, he had then moved on to poppy tea and then heroin and meth and was just a complete mess, in and out of the rehab thread.

I'm not saying that TCC can't be a good resource for how to be safe and how to do stuff, but if you just hang out there like it's a regular hobby-based forum, you could be in trouble. There have been a whole bunch of OD deaths and walking ODs - people who have just gone off the deep-end and readily admit they have no way out, and no real desire to get out. It's really sad.

There are people who can handle drugs recreationally and then there are people for whom it becomes their sole saving grace in life, the only thing that gets them up in the morning.

The "Once you get past the stigma of injecting, it's smooth sailing" guy? I remember seeing a great timeline of posts over 2-3 years going from "I can't wait to try opiates like you cool guys!" to "I have self control and can stop snorting heroin at any time" to "almost died yesterday lol hurting bad gtg time to shoot up more tar".

In any case, "smooth sailing" is a good TCC search term, it nearly became a catchphrase.
