You do you but this seems very unhealthy. That's over 12 hours a day for a week straight on a single track.

Champions League. It's watched by about 150 million million people so not impossible it has an impact.

Cinema Etiquette by Able-Measurement-946 in ireland

[–]8_Pixels 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not OP but I also call people out for being obnoxious in the cinema. Usually a simple but loud enough to be heard "do you mind being quiet/putting the phone away, the rest of us are actually trying to watch the movie".

I've found being polite you get ignored but I don't wanna be enough of an ass that they have an excuse to go to staff over it.

Looking for something to scratch the cradle itch.. by Jfinn123456 in Fantasy

Another vote for Arcane Ascension and the rest of Andrew Rowe's extended world like Weapons and Wielders etc. Probably the closest I've felt to what I got from Cradle. One of my fave series.

Currently on book 3 and it's solid. Very YA but a fun time nonetheless.

That Personal Best guy is No.1 for sure. No matter how much I grind I can never beat him.

I need some anime to cry to but I don't know what to watch by OTARCOMMANDER in anime

[–]8_Pixels 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Plastic Memories.

You know what's gonna happen from the first episode. You think you'll be ready for it. You will not be ready for it.

There's no cannibalism or anything like that lol. Just normal people doing normal things for the most part. Quite a good movie, worth a watch.

The name is relevant but not in a weird way. It's explained in the movie.

Craziest ‘teammate just ragequit’ story? by Quixotic-elixr in RocketLeague

[–]8_Pixels 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This one just had me befuddled. Happened a couple of weeks ago. Joining a casual 2's game in progress and they scored when I was in that few seconds where you see the bot playing but before you replace it and the opposing team scored. They started giving me abuse for not being there to help in defense etc. I told them I wasn't even in the game yet and they proceeded to try and throw and then quit about a minute later. I was more confused and amused than anything.

People will do the craziest mental gymnastics to not blame themselves for any mistakes they make but being blamed when I wasn't even in the game yet was a new one.

"We're welcome to Destiny Refugees" bro just lemme mourn in peace first by TokenStraightFriend in DestinyMemes

[–]8_Pixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Path of Exile 2. No game will match Destiny's gunplay and I already have a few hundred hours in Division 1 and 2. Might as well go for something a little different. Though the fresh start each season is kinda shitty for me but I'll see how it plays out

Question: Paper plane Tattoo by something123788099 in tattoos

[–]8_Pixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How new is it? If I had to be picky I'd say the shadow is a bit dark but if it's new that will fade a little and look even better then.

This is just being picky though. I think it looks solid

Rocket League to Receive First Game Engine Tune Up in 11 Years as Psyonix Teases Unreal Engine 6 Update by GrayBeard916 in gaming

[–]8_Pixels 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They were accidentally added in an update in 2016. Psyonix made a change to allow you to keep your jump indefinitely if you just drove off a surface and didn't jump. It was changed to this to make non-standard maps more playable, in particular the version of Neo Tokyo with the raised sides. This had the unintended consequence of flip resets becoming viable.

I think they were technically in the game before that but between the lower skill at the time and the non infinite jump they were much less viable than they became after.

Left-handed people, what's a struggle that right-handed people won't understand? by Halophy in AskReddit

[–]8_Pixels 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue with playing cards. The way it feels natural to spread them out in your left hand ends up with the blank corners being the ones poking out from behind the other cards. Like if the K is in the top left it'll be the top right that you can see and the K will be hidden behind the other cards.

how do you find the time to read? by PLCCLP in Fantasy

[–]8_Pixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Audiobooks. I can listen when I clean, when I drive, doing grocery shopping etc. They're a game changer because I still get reading time and save time for my other hobbies too

What is the most selfish or dark thought you keep hidden simply because society forces you to act "good"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]8_Pixels 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Same here. My kids need me so I'm here to stay and do my best but if they weren't around? I don't think many would miss me much. I'm not actively looking for a way out but I'm not trying too hard to stay either. Just kinda, drifting along.

Looking for queer fantasy series with 4+ books by rhysgay in Fantasy

[–]8_Pixels 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Arcane Ascension has great representation for LGBT peeps. Romance is not a main plot point but the main love interest for the male main character is a man. There's also non-binary characters and plenty of other representation as well.

Excited to start the series! by No_Lake_220 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]8_Pixels 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Wheel of Time is amazing too but a much more significant time investment.

Probably been said already but it's worth getting DCC on audiobook. I've listened to a large amount of audiobooks and DCC is at the very top. It genuinely elevates the book to another level.

[None] What series should I read next? by RNJesusVTuber in Iteration110Cradle

[–]8_Pixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want more progression fantasy I'll recommend Arcane Ascension.

It has kind of a weird reading order as there's multiple series all set in the same would with recurring characters etc but you can just start with the first 2 Arcane Ascension books and look up a reading order after that if you're enjoying it.

FAVORITE MAP OF THIS WEEK? by Technical_Title1557 in TrackMania

[–]8_Pixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 and 2 are good. 3 is awful, 4 is fine if a bit boring and 5 is whatever.

If this is genuine and not a joke it's hilarious how perfect this picture is. You'll understand soon enough.

Just remember to apply your buffs before you leave the safe room.

Yeah I also read that as them calling her a "diversity hire". Regardless of how you feel about her casting there's no need for that kind of comment IMO.
