Americans: Never, EVER question again how Hitler came to power in 1933 Germany
  • But you realize that he can only do what people let him? Things like the second amendment exist so that if the people want to disband/replace the existing government they can. Everyone in the military is a person with free will too. And if he tries to run for a third term, I think that there will be more than just 2 or 3 attempts on his life. It's valid to believe he will try, but there is simply nothing meaningful or lasting he can do. He's just another millionaire after fame and fortune, I don't think he's willing to get shot for it.

  • ... We the people... Remember that one? The only things that give Trump power are a piece of paper and US citizens. That piece of paper doesn't do much once people turn against him. I don't like Trump, but I also have a non-zero amount of faith in our government's structure. Next four years will probably be a downhill slide, but then there will be a rebound candidate elected in 4 years. If people in Congress vote in favor of all these ridiculously extreme amendments like you are saying they will, normal Americans will kick them out of office. Now the filibuster seems like a pretty good thing, huh?

  • So removing the filibuster 1. Can't happen while the filibuster is in place (because the left could just filibuster) and 2. Was a major pushing point for the left not more than 2 years ago. You either have no real knowledge of how the government works or think every American other than you has literal brain damage if you think that our system allows for such a radical change in 2 years. This "democracy is over" rhetoric has been said almost every 4 years like clockwork. If you think that the country is in a worse place now than it was in the Great Depression and WW2 you are delusional. I dislike Trump and voted for Kamala, because I can't stand stupid. Trump isn't Hitler. He's his own type of shit, but nowhere near as bad. It is fair to say that you think the country will be worse off with Trump as lead. But you have exaggerated it so much you look like a bigger clown than he is.

  • Your argument would be valid if Trump was going to be in office for 10 years, but in 4 he will be gone for good. There is no legitimate reason to believe that there is anything Trump can do to maintain power once his term is over. Trump almost certainly isn't going to kill 6 million Jews or any equivalent in 4 years, the only way these parallels continue is if the American people decide for them to continue, irrespective of Trump.

  • I feel like since there is such a big margin there has to be more to it than racism. Ofc it played a role, and maybe I'm just too trusting of fellow Americans, but I think a better candidate/campaign could have overcome the disadvantage of being a black woman.

  • Swing voters
  • One hot topic is abortion. A large majority of Christians have religious reasons to believe that abortion for non-emergency medical reasons is considered murder. Trump has repeatedly pledged to fight to overturn current abortion laws (even though there is nothing he can do about it anyway). Unsurprisingly, most Christians I have interacted with are right-leaning, if not completely horizontal. It's also much easier for people to wrap their heads around abortion than it is the national/global economy, so naturally many people would care more about that, even if Harris has better economic policies.

  • Swing voters
  • Notice how it's easier to assume the other side is ridiculous and stupid than it is to consider that their arguments could have some validity as well. Wayyy to many of my coworkers are die-hard Trump fans and can't imagine how dumb people would have to be to vote blue.

  • Shattered Pixel Dungeon Holiday Event question
  • New character: Jeff No abilities or starting items, including t1 weapon/armor. Can't use wands or passively detect traps/secrets (without talisman of foresight). Thrown weapons don't always go exactly where you throw them and have a 5+[excess strength] range limit. Early game gameplay is running around like a chicken with your head cut off until you find a weapon lying on the ground.

  • Floor generation

    This is in the beta. I can't tell if this floor generation is intended game design or not. Yes I already searched for any hidden doors and there are none.

    Strategies for On Diet?

    I've been slowly increasing the number of challenges I play with, but I always get stumped on how to work around on diet. Does chalice of blood work even when starving/hungry? Does ring of haste effectively increase how much you are able to explore before going hungry? Is it more efficient to craft pies or not? Thanks!

    Augments on Armor with Glyph of Stone

    Quick question. Armor augments sacrifice evasion for blocking power or visa versa. Glyph of Stone removes all evasion chance in exchange for blocking power. If you were to augment armor with Glyph of Stone, would you get more damage reduction from augmenting for defense, evasion, or neither?

    Clear existing data

    Many games have a feature where you can clear the saved data and begin fom scratch. Reinstalling the game does not do this if you have Google play games on your phone, so could there be a way to do this in the app?

    Public Stats/ Global Leaderboard

    One great thing about spd is that the dev uses stats from players runs to make balancing changes. But I thought it would be cool if these stats could be made public so that people can see them. Another addition that would be nice is a global leaderboard, which shows that top scores that people have achieved, with the ability to see their gear, inventory, skills, score breakdown, etc. I am suggesting both of these things with the intent to make it easier for players to be able to look at the combos and strats other players use. Could these potentially be implemented in the future? Or are there already similar resources that I'm missing?

    Anti-Challenges?

    I see a lot of posts on this wiki about seeds that give overpowered items. These greatly reduce the difficulty of the game, but due to the popularity of these posts this seems to appeal to a great deal of the player base. Therefore, I propose the addition of what are effectivly Anti-Challenges, that reduce the difficulty of the game. Things like sadder bosses, night vision, large portions, or thick armor could function as counterparts to their respective challenges, with the cost of your score being reduced by a multiplier, similarly to how challenges increase your score. Perhaps this could only be unlocked after finishing a run with default settings, to preserve the learning curve and difficulty that PD has to offer. What do you guys think?

    Recent Patch

    Personally, I love the changes made in the recent patch, I had been playing a lot with 6 challenges and had into darkness as one, so when I saw an enemy with huntress mind vision not auto targeting them was annoying. The buffs to ebony mimics drops is nice too, since there is a substantial increase in difficulty. What would be nice is if the sundial gave a small benefit, like maybe a small boost in luck, to compensate for the additional difficulty.

    Enemies Spawning On or Phasing Through Traps?

    Sadly I have no receipts, but I have noticed instances of enemies that are asleep spawning on the same tile that traps are on. Is this intentional? Additionally, I was in a fire trap room in the sewers and a rat ran at me, I one shot it with ranger bow, and when it dropped coins on death it triggered a fire trap it was on. I don't believe it spawned there, so I don't think it triggered the trap when it ran over it. Has this happened to anyone else?

    Pie Usefullness?

    On average, does crafting the pie increase the total amount of satiety you have, or do you trade overall satiety for the faster health Regen?
