Know minecraft and terraria both have some pretty lengthy fics to 'em. Read a minecraft/starcraft Xover once that was... a specific sort of thing I kinda' enjoyed but wouldn't suggest reading. And Terraria has an entirely too rabid fanbase to have escaped the ficening.

BoI and EU are both unsurprising -- the latter even has AARs and whatnot that might as well be fanfics, so... yeah. Minesweeper is also unsurprising, as it's old and something people would write about as a challenge sort of thing. No clue what OFF or flappy bird is, but... generally, fanfiction operates a lot like rule 34. If it exists, it's pretty likely there's a fanfic of it, of some sort, somewhere.

... often times fulfilling rule 34, but... anyway.

Though do note FF.N also has a few generic categories. Sometimes stuff that doesn't have its own can be found in those, heh. And there's also a considerable body of fanfiction outside of FF.N, too...

Yeah, don't make IEDs. Not even if it's incredibly easy to make a pipe bomb.

Instead: Pachinko machine.

... you'd expect the decepticons to be on the side of the rebellion, though...

Interesting implications if the anti-oppressive-government side of the giant robot civil war is fighting for the ukrainian forces.

that  violence is to be expected is an undeniable fact.

... the problem with this message is that it's self-fulfilling, helg. If your message, if the general message, is "expect violence", then violence will occur. When the message is, in general, against that... it may still occur, but it occurs far more rarely and with considerably less acceptance. Which is... more or less one of the major goals out there in regards to social desirability, at least last I checked.

As for it being the victim's fault, it's literally right there in the quoted passage. That violent reaction is normal means the one having violence committed against them should have expected it, and are thus partially culpable for said violence. It... kinda' is pretty stock victim blaming. "You should know better" might not be "you should get assaulted" but it's both pretty damn close and an unfortunately standard bell whistle for folks meaning the latter. Poorly chosen words, really...

Seriously though, we need to stop saying shit like it's normal you assault someone for slander. It's kinda' not in a decent society, and there's generally something wrong with the person that would do something like that. At least in everything I've personally experienced.

... maybe it's a language thing, but at least where I'm at "should expect a punch" is a fairly straightforward statement of justification -- on the part of the second party, at the very least. If a thing is wrong, but you should do it anyway, one of those two statements is, uh. Inaccurate. Think the colloquialism is "talking out of both sides of your mouth"?

And the problem with the statement isn't even remotely any issue religious folk may have with atheists, it's the pretty blunt fact that it's going to aid in incitement of inter-religious violence. You're going to see both christians and muslims interpret those words as stating that physical retaliation for verbal or ideological attacks is both normal and expected. Which is a pretty damn shitty message.

The other way to look at that snippet -- and maybe the rest of the transcript counters it, but... -- is that it's seven words condemning violence and then something like five times that normalizing it. That's not an even balance

The one thing I don't like, actually, is how hard it is to increase survivability and straight damage with items in this game.

Even if you have 9999 hp, after a couple loops, you'll still get oneshotted by anything, tons of enemies will spawn and you can't really do much to deal with it except pray for procs of various abilities that /actually/ do damage.

More crowbars. Like. Seriously. More crowbars. Survivability is less of an issue when you regularly hit things for 50k+ damage.

Though yeah, with the HP, you get your four dodge-things, you get your junkload of goat hooves, you get your teddy bears and t-shirts (always stop by the boars if it shows up), and then you run really fast and never stay still. Huntress is obviously the best at that, but anyone can manage it alright, especially anyone with a mobility ability and some hooves in 'em (the faster you go, the further those abilities go >_>). Jump-related items (feather, both jumppacks) are pretty useful, too, for not being where the hurty things are.

Less of a possibility to focus outside of command, obviously, but even without it you've got things to focus on. You won't have as many, but...

E: Six digit missile hit D8

so many crowbars

I think the actual solution is to film it and turn the flaming bird death into a reality TV series, to supplement the plant's profitability.

You really, really don't. Just... yeah, avoid that if at all possible.
