Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Somebody upgraded a Roomba to swear when it bumps into stuff. It's pretty funny.
It could be hilarious to have those censored in some countries and turned into old timey expressions.
God fucking damn it! -> Great Googly Moogly!
Crispy Critters!- Atomic Heart
Mix the censored version in with the cussing ones.
They do, and cry out for their friends, in Last of Us.
What if your character is designed to fulfill the role of a tank?
- 'Tis but a scratch.
- I've had worse.
- Just a flesh wound.

Far Cry 4 is set in fictional Nepal but the NPC characters dialogues are recorded in Hindi which is an Indian language, one time I accidentally hurt some NPC's and to my shock they started shouting curses in Hindi at me and attacking me. It was one of the funniest gaming moment for me. And because that dialogue isn't translated to English they just went all out on the curses lol.
I would be doubled over laughing for a good ten minutes if I accidentally smacked some NPC and got "randi ke beej" yelled at me.
They literally call you Chuthiya lol
Shepherd in Mass Effect does this.
Up until the last 30 minutes of gameplay, that game was a masterpiece
Which one 🤣 ME2 is an absolute treasure, so surely you’re referring to 1 and/or 3
I was referring to tho whole franchise. ME1 and ME2 endings were spectacular. Specially ME2.
Im still salty about ME3 ending
The Borderlands games do this.
Kingdom Come does that.
IIRC this also happened in Insurgency. I seem to recall being fired upon while my character screamed "FUCK SHIT SHIT", bullets wizzing by.
Great game prior to changing hands and being nuked. It filled a niche between ultratactical gameplay and Call of Duty intensity. Squad does this alittle but not in the same style.
EDIT: Proof here.
Ever play Q*bert?
I think I’m GTA they swear when they hit other cars while driving, but that’s more like road rage I guess
The Long Dark has this
Insurgency sandstorm if you like first-person shooters. You get shot at, and the avatars swear. Enemies and friendlies can also swear at each other. For example, the insurgent can say something like: we are going to kill you, and the American will tell him to eat his ass. So much hilarity can ensue.
Just finished playing Still Wakes the Deep and your character will do this. What's cool is it's not a scripted thing most of the time. If you jump from a height, he might yell out,
Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck!
As you run toward the ledge to jump. If he has a rough landing, he'll grunt and say something like,
Holy fuck, that hurt
I know it's not scripted cause, and without spoilers, it's a game where you will fall to your death a lot! So restarting checkpoints is common. Good game though!
Great game, with lots of swearing (and a very emotional story)
If I remember correctly it's not even that expensive when not on sale
Edit: it isn't super well optimized though, from what I remember. I do think they updated it to add a bunch of the up scalers recently
I feel it's very dependent on the person wether someone swears, shouts or grunts when getting hurt.
That's what I was gonna say lol like I don't think OP can speak for every single person, there are definitely people out there who don't swear when they get hurt lol
Exactly this. I don't think I've ever heard someone say anything like goddamn shitbiscuit, and only heard things like god fucking dammit when they've had time to stop and think about it.
It's much more likely for someone here to grunt or suck through their teeth, or maybe something short like shit.
I'm certain that someone has made a mod for any of The Elder Scrolls titles, well maybe not Arena.... I dunno. Haven't played or modded that one.
It's pretty common to make the mudcrabs swear when hurt.
Not the same, but when you start to panic-stump-your-feet-into-the-ground in dead space II, Isaac starts to swear
I love when the Duke exclaims "HOLY SHIT" when he gibs a pig cop
I am somehow reminded of Janes AH-64D Longbow on the PC, which would swear at you for friendly fire. Queue 11 year old me shooting up the entire base in the training missions because I thought that shit was hysterical.
I bet you killed Captain Keyes too
If that's a reference to the in-game campaign(s), probably not. I tended to fly like, quick missions or something. I spent a lot more time in that era of my life playing Mechwarrior games.
It's a reference to the first level of Halo 1.
Ah, I've never played a Halo game in my life.
Same with longbow 2, I still have some of the cons burned into my brain
Proceed to map grid hotel six over Roger, good copy, out ENEMY SAM 3 O CLOCK! SHIT WE'RE HIT!
The number of F-bombs in Final Fantasy 16 is quite impressive.
Gex should have cursed whenever you took damage for sure.
In Wildlands, the characters will curse when hit. "Shitballs" was my favorite.
But to what degree? Like so you go extra intense with it?
What about a scale, that when you turn it to the lowest, you say things like "ah fart rabbits. You gosh darn sizzle bobble!"
in first descendant at least some playable characters say “shit” in a few different ways when they get hit
There are some gamesthat have the characters speak up and what they say depends on their personality, but usually they are not straight up insults
I like that idea.
