and the fact you can kill steve with statues lol that wasnt intended

Noita is the best magic-themed roguelike ever because in a game with exponentially increasing difficulty you get to fight back trillion-hp bosses with mechanics that are so absurdly exploitable that the line between "exploit" and "feature" are practically nonexistent -- you're literally ENCOURAGED to break the game.

Like, I could talk about the insane wandcrafting system as a whole but that would be too long, so off the top of my head I will just say two actual exploits that the devs took notice of and intentionally kept in the game as features:

The heartache exploit. In the game, as with many roguelikes, you will find health upgrades that increase your max hp. There is also a specific enemy that will attack you and temporairly half your max hp, and it stacks, so you can go from 100 to 50 to 25 and so on until the effect wears off.

But! Someone figured out that when your hp goes back to normal, from 25, to 50, to 100, if you picked up a heart while under the effect, the extra health will also multiply. So you could get yourself to 1hp max, pick up a health upgrade, and as your health would increase, you'd get yourself up to thousands of maximum extra health.

The devs took notice and what did they do? Slightly rebalanced it and kept it in the game as a feature.

The next one, the infinite lifetime spell, or infiniwisps. The game has several spell modifiers to change the behavior of your projectiles, such as its trajectory or lifetime (that is, how many frames it lasts). Amongst those are the Reduce Lifetime spell and the Boomerang trajectory, which decreases a spell's duration by 42 frames and make the spell to arc towards you respectively.

Now, a spell's default lifetime is slightly randomized, but when you reduce its lifetime to exactly -1 (not 1, not 0, not any negative number, exactly -1) the projectile breaks and lasts forever. So you can combine for example a Healing Bolt with Reduce Lifetime and a Boomerang arc, fire repeatedly and if you get just the right rng you get a projectile that follows you around forever healing you on contact.

The devs know about this, and instead of removing this glitch, they decided it was cool as fuck (because it is) and kept it. So much so that when you perform the trick you get an acheivement and the game acknowledges you with "the gods are very impressed with you."

You're literally rewarded for breaking the game. The game encourages you to abusing its weird mechanics. And in a game in which you play as some kind of power-hungry mage, I wouldn't have it any other way. I fucking love this.

you can all stop tagging me in the "amazon is leaking government documents 😱😱😱" post,

i am aware, google dorking like that (that's what the technique is called, it's fun, go learn more about it beyond a spongebob meme) is literally how most of my career started

amazon isn't leaking anything, that's incredibly misleading, these documents are leaking the way they are because a lot of customers don't properly configure their aws set up, this is not amazons fault or liability

most of the documents you will find that way are meant to be publicly available, for example everything on "imlive.s3.amazonaws.com" is for display on the government's contract bidding site, 99.9% of what's there is knowingly made public (a few years ago i downloaded over 2 terrabytes of that data and found like two documents of interest, neither were indexed by google), lots of other documents are public due to foia requests or other processes

please please please go have fun with google dorking (including that amazon dork) but i hate that sensationalist misleading meme, especially since it makes it out to be some sort of new discovery or bug, people have been doing this for decades and you can properly learn how to have even more fun with it when given the knowledge i now gave you and then slowly learn how to build your own interesting queries

The issue with "porn addiction" rhetoric, aside from it being scientifically unfounded, is that it's just another line that makes excuses for men.

Blaming the objectification and degradation of women and girls on "porn addicts" creates a divide -- between good men, upright men, men we love, men who would never dream of mistreating women; and bad men, predatory men, men who are evil because something within their brains is broken. It says that no, the issue isn't societal, it's an issue innate to a specific type of person. My favorite man would never do such a thing!

And this is exactly why it's so popular with conservatives, why its main proponents are religious organizations. On one hand, it takes one of the core harms done by misogyny and repackages it into something that can instead be blamed on individual moral failing. On the other, it provides a justification to attack any expression of sexuality beyond the monogamous, Christian standard by claiming that any and all sexual desire is proof of "degeneracy".

no, spotify, i don't want to use ai to "turn my ideas into playlists". i already fucking do that with my brain and hands and i do it for fun. what, should i get ai to pet my cat for me? to play my silly games for me? to spend time with my beautiful wife for me? how about i rend you asunder

Look at this cat.
