If M Night Shyamalan directed this, it would be a Superman reveal at the end with a cheesy one-liner.

- Comment on WTF BIT ME? 3 days ago:
Seriously, I’ve had it once before when I stayed at a place in New York almost 20 years back at this point.
I was like, oh … why are these bumps and why are they in a row? so weird!
Although, worse was when I got a bed in London UK at Swiss Cottage to just stay one night. It was like a dorm room bed. I think I estimated that I got like 200 bed bug bites in total. I had to estimate but it was crazy. What’s funny is that when you’re entire body is covered in bites, the itchiness bothers you a bit less because if it’s just one area you keep scratching it. However when it’s your whole body, you’re like … everywhere equally hurts so I don’t need to bother scratching. At least that’s what it was like for me.
Sorry, just releasing out the trauma :P
Now whenever I get any bites … I just freak out and wonder if it’s bed bugs. I woke up last night and noticed an itchy bump and just freaked myself out.

I mean, I wound up teaching my nephews when they were 4 … not sure what’s stopping him from doing it though.

I liked Korra too. I liked the aesthetics and call backs … they didn’t feel as “in your face”. It doesn’t have the majesty of the original series, but I liked it still!
- Comment on Here we go again... 1 week ago:
That’s fair.
I was mainly talking about the movie and netflix series.
I considered the original and series and Korra locked in together as they were made by the original creators and we were mainly talking about offshoots.

I dunno, not even old franchise but even with Avatar the Last Airbender … they keep trying to retell Aang’s story when they could do so many others stories within the universe and give nods to the original. Repeatedly doing the same storyline makes it feel smaller.

I can’t tell the diff in FPS performance. I wish I could.
When I got my PS5 and played some games I was like, wow the future is here! Turns out I was playing PS4 games. Also I turned on and off ray-tracing for SpiderMan and couldn’t tell either.

Pfft, you should have skipped paying rent and then put that into a low cost index fund and in 30 years you’ll have like 20 million. If you just paid rent it’ll go nowhere.

I self-inflicted some pain like that for me as well.
I got close to the end of Act 2 and my friend said that the difficulty was too easy and I breezing pass everything and to switch it to Expert. Well guess what. I didn’t level, upgrade or put my Pictos in a way to deal with it. So most of my boss fights turned from a close-win into 45 minutes of me dying a lot. Like, I’d be one-shotted so often.
I then took some time and then cashed in some Lumina for stories and then actually put some strats in and went through the skill tree. I think it was worthwhile in the end but it totally changed the experience for me.
- Comment on Day 425 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 month ago:
I really wanted to like the remakes.
Playing the FF7 remake felt really dated in terms of a lot of things. After playing God of War and others, the cinematics felt cheesy and less cohesive now in FF … I didn’t care for much of any of the voice acting. A lot of the side quests didn’t fit “in world” to me. The heck do I care about some lost kittens? Not sure what’s going on with the “ghosts”. I didn’t like the combat and found it annoying. Which is strange because I enjoyed FF15: The backstreet boys edition and even Guardians.
On the positives, I felt if I could take a screenshot of any part of the game and sent it back to the younger version of me … My mind would be blown. I’d just stop the game several times to just admire the scenery and the look.
spoilers!
Fighting Sephiroth so many times felt odd. I felt it feel off story-wise.
Everyone loves FF 7 remake and all that and I know I’m in minority but it put me off Rebirth. I’m happy other people enjoy it now though. I just wish I was one of them.

Right because lesbians should only exist in pornos (like the GGW ones Snoop promoted at one point). Definitely not in real life, right Snoop?
Fucks sake, we can’t depict two people in love because you can’t explain it to your grandson? Should we not depict space travel or is he a rocket scientist that we don’t know about?

I agree with the banter with others. I do it with my friends. The thing is this … it has to go both ways and if they can’t jab back I usually give them a smile/hug and make sure they know I’m being a jerk. Like, they should be smiling after I take a jab at them.

According to the right-wing, “oh what, you wanna outlaw comedy now? it’s just a joke you snowflake!”
If you’re not offended by the father’s comments, just change the offending word to whatever you are. If you think nothing’s wrong with it, it could be worth learning why
I got picked on a lot as a kid. What it did was make me hyper sensitive to other people’s insecurities. I would see you and think: weight, race, bad at school, has a crush on X. I’d memorize it and put it in my back pocket and just dig at someone when they’d take a shot at me. It was a horribly daunting way to live because you’re never really enjoying the moment.
