@lioness okay what does cnc stand for here because i opened this thinking "what on earth do CNC machines have to do with hypnosis kink stuff" and i'm starting to think it means something else

also if you look at enemy details, sometimes there's amusing things, like one generic enemy type called "hooligan" is noted as being someone "wanted on several counts of chicanery and multiple counts of shenanigans"

then if you go to that other npc and run around him three times counterclockwise, he gets dizzy, stumbles, and knocks a box off of the top of the really tall tower he's on, which then lands right next to the random well-dressed guy and you can go pick up its contents
-F

this game's writing is a little weird but i appreciate the humor in having a random well-dressed npc in the middle of all these super-powerful bad guys who just says "do you know [other more major npc]? I heard he hates it if you run around him three times going counterclockwise. <beat> Don't ask me how I know that."

@codl what's product hunt?

@relee I think CWs generally increase thoughtful engagement, not decrease it--having a CW helps people know what's under it and if it's a problem for them, either be prepared for it so it doesn't take them by surprise, or avoid it if it's too much for them at the moment

and if they avoid the one thing that doesn't mean they'll avoid you, just that they couldn't deal with that one thing at the moment

@chartier We lived for most of our childhood in a place that didn't have on-street parking either, and when we first saw people parking on the street regularly, it was a strange sight. To kid us, it was like you were asking to get your car run into. (because "don't go out in the street on your own or you'll get run over")

But it was also a soulless suburb, pretty but not much beyond pretty. It's different to see a place that looks lived-in that way.

@socks we've always read "take" to mean "opinion"; is that not what it means?
-F

hey @ziphi this looks like a dragon you'd appreciate
-F

@relee I mean, there are definitely some things that we would just block outright, but nothing i think you're likely to say--that would be things like throwing slurs around and stuff, and you're not that kind of person
-F

i want to see some big-name cross-platform video game come out and support some ridiculous platform

like the new, i dunno, assassin's creed game or something coming out on ps5, xbox, pc, and sega saturn
-F

@gardevoir it would be a really neat thing to do! but also, really difficult
-F

@gardevoir double-buffered!

@gardevoir careful or you're going to have to add in link as a miniboss

@heatherhorns she absolutely could be if she raids a costume store
-F

i think... we should do more of this

the game in question by the way is dragon ball z legacy of goku 2 on the gba

which we remembered being good but didn't think would *actually* be good, it's a pretty solid kinda.... zelda-like almost? with fewer puzzles and more monsters

this is the only dragon ball z media we ever did anything with so the characters keep referencing stuff we have no idea about

we tried playing the first game and that one *is* pretty bad
-F

we saw something that reminded us of a video game we played a long time ago as a kid and we went to go play it again and actually i feel like indulging in nostalgia is helping us remember the good memories from our childhood? instead of just the bad ones (mostly of kid-us embarrassing themself) that have plagued us as intrusive thoughts for over a decade
-F

@starfall @trysdyn ...why does it stand for that and what does it mean?
-F

@dodec we're going to probably finish the new kirby game first, then get into it

we played *some* of it when we first got it several years ago, but fell off from it for some reason, i think that was when we had a real bad semester at school
-F

@LexYeen ugh, why couldn't we have gotten that timeline
