Unpopular Opinions and (Friendly) Rant thread

Giving chicken bones to dogs is sometimes used to kill street dogs, but like, its not as if any dog would die by eating any chicken bone instantaly. Its a possibility

Yeah, do not give chicken bones to dogs
Nor grapes
 
No they won't it will rip and puncture their stomach and esophagus. These bones are hollow, and when splintered are sharp as hell. Stop being ignorant.
I feel like this an exaggerated concept that doesn't happen like ever. I'm aware of this I just don't think it ever happens really. Unless you have one of those dogs that don't chew them and tries to swallow near instantly versus taking time in chewing

It's not a high one if your dog doesn't try to eat it In 3 seconds. My dog usually takes it's time with any bone my old one didn't she would try to eat any food instantly and would often have to throw the food up just to eat it again because she speed runs meals. My current one eats pretty slow so idm giving a bone every now and then

This is ignorance. Like, the definition of it. It isn't an exaggeration, when chicken bones are quite weak. Again, since I have to strain it for you, chickens are avian animals. Thus, their bones are hollow and brittle. These bones being hollow and brittle, mean they splinter easily, and these splinters are quite sharp. Because they are sharp, once ingested, they will tear up the throat and stomach of the dog, causing them to be injured if not killed.

Again, stop being ignorant, it does you no favors.

The problem is, you say will as if it's guaranteed. The probability of that happening isn't much higher than dying because you're laughing or talking while eating. There would be evidence of a dying dog this way. One would be blood in stool. My dog has never once had an issue with a chicken bone. Because the dog is small and eats slowly. Plus I don't even feed it regularly with chicken bones I take the meat off the bones 99% of time. That 1% is there being nothing else to feed them after I eat dinner. Plus what u said mainly applies to cooked chicken bones and even then it's not some super high probability unless dog eats fast and regularly feed em. You have no confidence the dog in question knows what it's doing

Guaranteed? No. Likely? yes. Even if it's not guaranteed, that doesn't mean you should test fate.

These may not be specifically chicken bones, but these news reports go over the same splintering effect. Which, again, chicken bines have.
One would be blood in stool. My dog has never once had an issue with a chicken bone.
Then you're the exception, ever heard of outliers? You're on a battleboard site!
Because the dog is small and eats slowly.
And that means it's okay? Hell no.
Plus I don't even feed it regularly with chicken bones I take the meat off the bones 99% of time. That 1% is there being nothing else to feed them after I eat dinner.
It doesn't matter if it's regularly, I don't give a damn about percentages. See above.
Plus what u said mainly applies to cooked chicken bones and even then it's not some super high probability unless dog eats fast and regularly feed em.
Who the **** eats raw chicken, those who want to contract salmonella? What we're talking about here is giving away chicken bones to dogs, which most of the time is just the scraps of meals left over, meals that have been cooked. So of course, those bones will also be cooked.
You have no confidence the dog in question knows what it's doing
This is not about confidence or any other similar bullshit. You should never give dogs chicken bones, even if it "knows what it's doing", because at the end of the day it's still a dog chewing on a bone that can easily splinter from applied force, getting into their mouth and screwing their shit up.
 
Raven you really fvcking suck, you know that? How hard is it to not be a piece of shit and just say “oh wow I didn’t know that, let me stop putting my dog at risk”. Like how fragile is your ego that you need to insist upon being right to the point of potentially harming animals that depend on their owners for their livelihood. You’re genuinely an awful human being if your gut instinct to finding out you’re putting a dog in potential danger is to shelter your own fragile ego. 🖕

Man, I ******* hate how artificially hard some Minecraft modpacks are. Like, I tried RL craft and I couldn't stop dying to random monsters. The temperature system is also devilish. I think I saw a random person say this already but it seems like it was made by a person that never went outside. Like, I don't go outside that much but I know I won't overheat or freeze to death if I am in some lake waters or in some plains. Like, I have touched grassed and bathed before, I speak from personal experience when I say this.
I also played some modpacks with horror mods in them and it seems like they were made for YouTubers, not for absolutely normal people like me. Like, in Minecraft you lose your items when you die and you have to recover them. You know what would combine well with that? Spawning a stupid looking blocky monster that is nearly invincible, lets out ear damaging screams and does a third of your health per hit. I kid, I kid, of course that combination is a bad idea. After just two encounters I became more scared of losing all the progress I made in several hours than of the monster.
Honestly, I think we should force modpack and mod developers to 4 years of high school video game development classes. I feel like in 4 years they would at least learn how to make things not frustrating.

Anyway, I just lost my diamond armor into a pit of lava while running away from an invincible monster. That's why imma making this rant. I'll probably make a rant praising Create mod the best Minecraft mod of all time later but I prefer to save my wall of text for later.

Wouldn't I lose access to quests and achievements if I activate cheats? I mean, I could do that but I don't know if there would be consequences for cheating.

Anyone could win if they spam projectiles tbh

I agree somewhat. The amount of times I died to BS stuff in RLCraft made me feel emotions I never thought I would have to Minecraft. It's annoying, hard, and painful af, yet I love it and see myself coming back to start a new playthrough every few months or so.

Also, the horror modpacks are awful, don't bother with them. Majority of the "horror" modpacks are just either screamers or another variant that stalks you for a bit and then kills you. It's only mildly scary the first time, then it becomes tedious.

Anyways, try other modpacks like Prominence or ATM8-9 (It's a grindfest at the end ngl but it's quite fun before that) if RLCraft feels like an abusive ex to you.

I already played ATM9, I was overwhelmed by too much information. Like, I bought Minecraft after those bums at the CursedForge mod support places told me to go away once they figured out I pirated the game. I bought the game and the first modpack I installed was that one. Honestly, it was too confusing, like, too many goals. I felt like that JJK guy being flooded with infinite information by Gojo. Also, I didn't find a good plain place to set up a base near spawn, so rather than terraforming or finding new plains, I just played another modpack.

Also, what is Prominence about? Is it good? Tell me more about it, I never heard about it.


These are all the modpacks I have installed. The only ones I played are Create Astral, ATM9 and ATM9 to the sky.
The rest are modpacks I plan to play in the future or modpacks that my friends told me to install just to play with them.
People aren't masochistic enough, is my opinion.
I endorse RLCraft as a means to torment myself.
You can always go further beyond.

After beating Symphony of the Night, I have to say, Hollow Knight is kind of a poor metroidvania. Don't get me wrong, it's good, but for what it tries to be? I don't know, it's just not as smooth and feels too disconnected.
 
I hate that I understand the dog meme.

It would be funny if someone posted the dog screenshot from Raven, just saying...
Idk what this means, and I don't think I want to know.

Anyways, disregarding whatever shitfest that happened with Raven, let's go back to minecraft.

For ATM9, yeah If you never played any other modpack, I can see it being very overwhelming. I think it was my second modpack, and altho it was overwhelming at first, the quests had made it easier for me to understand what's going on. Besides, It is a bit exciting discovering new things or how certain things work by yourself.

We don't talk about the tech tho.

As for Prominence, basically it is just Minecraft with like diablo/baldur's gate-esqu items, monsters, etc... it doesn't overwhelm you with information like ATM9, nor is it as punishing as RLCraft (Sadly).

It is just more fantasy Minecraft, really. The items are pretty cool, some have unique effects, the artifacts are amazing, some bosses are nuts, one of them is a ******* asshole and should be deleted from the game, but overall it's pretty good. It's not as long as the other large modpacks, but it fits the bill nicely.

Also, if you play any large modpacks (ATM, gregtech, etc...) I honestly suggest you download Effortless Building mod. The amount of building the modpacks will require in the end game is ludicrous, and this mod just makes your life much easier.

Additionally, I see you have the sky factory and all that kind of jazz. Honestly, I'd recommend NTC2 (Not that popular, tbh) if you like skyblock/progression types. It uses ProjectE, which I think majority of people already know it but I'll explain it either way. It gives almost every block a value, which you can use on the tablet the mod gives you, and you sacrifice the item you put, which in turn will make the tablet register that item as well. Whatever value that thing you sacrificed had will be transferred to you, and with that value, you can use it on the tablet to get anything you sacrificed, as long as you can afford it.

It was pretty fun, ngl, which was surprising since I don't usually like these kinds of modpacks.

Can you put your Prominence description in Terraria terms? Terraria is like, the only game I've ever played, I never touched Baldur's gate or Diablo

In a nutshell, spawn in the world > go build house (optional) > go caves or villages > find gold chests > get accessory (Hermes boot, Cobalt shield, etc...)> get armor > fight boss > get their soul thingies > build stronger weapons > modify the weapons by spending all of your limestones on an anvil > get a legendary modifier > fight more bosses > get a mount (because **** it) > fly around the world with the mount > find the 12 somehow different eyes that all require different things (Some in tombs, chests, villager trade, etc...) > go to end > wtf what happened to the ender dragon arena > pray you can win against the ender dragon > win > go to the nether for whatever reason > fight the literal world ender > get one shot, becuz he's bs > fight the more stronger bosses > suffering > repeat.

I gave you a very basic, nutshell breakdown of one of the ways of what could happen.

Now, a normal explaintion. For starters, you know how terraria has modifiers for items? Like Menacing, Warding, Hasty, etc...? Well, weapons have those here, altho there is more stats now (IIRC)

Additionally, like terraria, a lot of the good weapons are hidden behind the materials that bosses drops.

There is also an accessory/artifact system, which is similar to terraria's. Look around the world, find a chest, get an accessory (IIRC the modpack has huge similarities to terraria when it comes the artifact system). Said accessory can speed you up if you keep walking, cool. Other accessory removes fire damage (I think it was literally called Obsidian Skull, just like in terraria).

The weapons are also very fantasy-like. One of the weapons was just straight up wukong's staff. It has 3 abilities, one of them was litearlly just making invulnerable for a while, with you not being able to do anything. Thing is, you can use it when you are falling, so it is pretty good to prevent that, and it also has whirlwind modes and stuff.

Overall, the modpack honestly has taken things from both Baldur's gate/Diablo3, and Terraria in a way. I think you'd get used to it, honestly, as someone who played terraria a lot, the modpack isn't that confusing. I think it was the first modpack I played when I got my new laptop (This is like, a year or two of not playing modded minecraft), and Prominence was pretty chill, you can just do whatever you want, follow the quests for rewards, or just go to caves, villages, etc... to get artifacts and see what is good or not.

It is fun, really, and there is no tech stuff that is going mess with your brain or anything. Just pure fantasy, and bosses.

Because I did? Which is why I said I take the meat of the bone 99% of the time. That 1% being quite literally nothing to eat. And I only allow it because I know this dog in particular knows how to eat them safely.

You don't even come to these threads, but you did just to tell me this. So **** off you mongrel
