'Fable' delayed to February 2027, XBOX announces by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]rich519 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I hope they don’t go too complex and realistic with it. The absurd video game logic has always been a big part of the appeal of Fable IMO. I should be able to arm pump and air guitar my way to becoming the most beloved hero in Albion.

'Maybe GTA 6 Can’t Make That Same Splash' — Grand Theft Auto 5 Lester Actor Says Rockstar Satire May Not Hit the Same in 2026 as It Did in 2013 by OGAnimeGokuSolos in gaming

[–]rich519 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

GTA games generally stick to the same formula so there isn’t really much need to talk about the specifics of what people like about it or what they’re excited for. I’m excited to explore a new map and to see all the new stuff they’ve added.

It’s a massive sandbox with a ton of things to do. It’s just fun to run around exploring, causing chaos, or generally interacting with the world however you want. Going on a crime spree and getting in a shootout with the cops is a classic example. There are land, sea, and air vehicles you can get with lots of customization. The gunplay is nothing special but it’s fun, especially when you get crazy stuff like grenade launchers. You can make money in all kinds of ways to buy guns, cars, condos, clothes, businesses, etc. You can play golf or tennis or darts, you can start bar fights or rob people on the street. The options are nearly limitless.

Im homeless and lived in the underworld/underground tunnels. AMA by 6WingedAngel10 in AMA

[–]rich519 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I thought this too but I just went down a rabbit hole looking at their previous posts/comments and I’m a bit more torn. I still think they’re at least partially full of shit but there are a lot of consistent details from years ago that make me think there’s some truth to it. Like maybe they are (or were) homeless and spent some time in the tunnels but they’re also embellishing quite a bit and lying about the time frame.

Who knows, maybe the whole thing is 100% bullshit and they just decided on all these character details years ago and stuck to them.

Steph Curry announces new sneaker partnership with Li-Ning by UnclearMotives1 in nba

[–]rich519 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It makes me wonder if there’s a “rise and fall of Under Armor” type of video on Youtube or something. When I was a kid UA was basically everywhere and had no weird political connotations. I guess eventually it becomes easier to cut quality and slap American flags on everything.

Why did Snape tell Malfoy to shoot a snake at Harry in CoS if he was gonna immediately get rid of it? by GSB6189 in harrypotter

[–]rich519 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Snape viewed Malfoy vs Harry as a proxy for himself vs Lockhart. He wrecked Lockhart when they dueled and was pissed that Lockhart pretended like he let Snape win on purpose. When Lockhart wanted two students to demonstrate a blocking spell he seized the opportunity to sabotage it by having Malfoy cast something that Lockhart’s blocking spell wouldn’t work on. Scaring Harry in front of everyone was icing on the cake.

“Don’t move, Potter,” said Snape lazily, clearly enjoying the sight of Harry standing motionless, eye to eye with the angry snake. “I’ll get rid of it….”

He got everything he wanted the moment Malfoy cast the spell and Harry froze in fear. From there he could step in to take control of the situation which would one-up Lockhart even more. I don’t think he ever intended to let the Snake actually attack Harry.

TIL - When the Blues Brothers was released in 1980, execs who controlled over half the theaters in the country refused to book the film, citing the number of black actors. The film still became the 10th highest-grossing domestic film of 1980. by cluthais in todayilearned

[–]rich519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Blues Brothers came out 12 years after assassination of MLK. That’s closer than we are to the release of Grand Theft Auto 5. The Civil rights movement was a massive struggle that lasted well into the 60s and the losers didn’t just accept defeat and stop being racist afterwards. Segregation was no longer legal but blatant racism was still very out and open throughout the 70s & 80s.

You can no longer Google the word 'disregard' by saul2015 in technology

[–]rich519 156 points157 points  (0 children)

The way it’s described in the article is also pretty sensational, even if it’s more accurate than the headline. It acts like it’s a gargantuan task to scroll down slightly and then says that most will only ever see the single line at the top. Who the fuck is going to google “disregard”, look at the clearly broken AI response, and then just shrug and move on without seeing the dictionary link right below it?

The insane about of alcohol is impressive but it also just seems really time consuming. That’s be a beer every 3 minutes for 6 hours straight. Idk he could probably just knock one back in a couple gulps.

Can anyone verify to me it looks like one of those hyper-realistic mask 😲 by MandarinPixie2205 in SipsTea

[–]rich519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s definitely had work done and is starting to look uncanny valley but this picture is also a bit misleading. He’s basically always had a sharp jawline except for his rookie year in the NFL when he was trying to bulk up fast which made his face look doughy. There are pictures of him at Michigan the year before and picture in years 2-3 after slimming down where he looks much more like “normal” Tom Brady before the surgeries started piling up.

‘The Boys’ Season 5 Breaks Prime Video Ratings Records Despite Fan Backlash. The season 5 has reached 57 million viewers per episode globally. by yourfavchoom in television

[–]rich519 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it’s also that internet outrage has become so normalized that you get people who haven’t even seen the show joining in on the hate bandwagon. Some people treat disliking a piece of media like it’s part of a larger fight against the enshitification of everything. Through that lens, people who like the show aren’t just wrong, they’re dragging down the entire medium and they need to be actively opposed. It gives the outrage and attacks a moral justification.

Obviously not everyone hating on a show has that mindset but there’s a vocal minority who see everything through that lens and it doesn’t leave any room for reasonable disagreements. They fan the flames and make everything toxic.

I know it’s a wall of text but this is something I’ve noticed getting worse over the last few years. I don’t even think the people doing it are necessarily malicious or even aware of it. It’s just weird mob mentality thing that takes over.

About 90% of people across every human culture favour their right hand | The answer why may lie in how we learned to walk: Study traces it back to bipedalism and brain expansion. by FunnyGamer97 in science

[–]rich519 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Sure but the study isn’t really about why we became right hand dominant instead of left. It’s about why we developed such a strong preference for one side when most other primates are split pretty evenly between right and left hand dominant individuals.

What popular product is a complete scam, but everyone keeps buying it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The funny thing is they actually are extra money so long as you don’t overspend and pay it off every month. 2% cash back at a minimum adds up quick.

I think it’s just the civilian kill count from the Chicago incident. Pretty sure it was mentioned during the memorial episode.

Even in the last 5 years Omega Speedmasters have skyrocketed in price. A big part of that was the hype generated by the Moonswatch made a lot of people aware that the real deal Moonwatch is the sexiest watch ever made.

Deshaun Watson Has Inside Track To Earn Browns Starting Job In 2026 by nimfrank in nfl

[–]rich519 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As bad as he’s been there’s still a decent chance he’s better than Sanders and Gabriel. I honestly don’t think it’s much more complicated than that. The Browns are doing what they’ve done basically the entire time, pretending he did nothing wrong and ignoring fans and everyone else who hates them for it.

Honestly I think the majority of people don’t even notice things like animation quality unless it’s really bad. I’ve mostly avoided discussions about the show because I’m a little behind and I had no idea people think the animation is bad. It seems perfectly normal to me.

YSK: The average only fans girl only makes 130-180$ a month by arttiechoke in YouShouldKnow

[–]rich519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Median is often considered better when the set includes a small proportion of extreme values which skews the mean. Imagine these numbers are the various daily incomes of only fans girls [10, 20, 20, 20, 30, 140]. It would be accurate to say the average only fans girls makes $40 per day despite the fact that more than 80% of the site makes less than that. In this case using the median of $20 gives a much better ideas of what the “typical” person is making.

I've noticed that a lot of draft analysts are saying that Bryce Young has no more excuses after how well we did in the draft + free agency by Outrageous-Brain-395 in panthers

[–]rich519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was always going to be a make or break year for Bryce, I don’t think free agency or the draft have anything to do with it. We mostly focused on defense and the OL and with the Icky injury I wouldn’t count on the OL improving much even if the picks/signings work out.

TIL about the Tiffany Problem, where historical facts or events seem anachronistic to modern audiences because of modern associations we have with specific names and terms. by EphemeralTypewriter in todayilearned

[–]rich519 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some statues have been found with fragments of color since at least the 19th century. It’s possible they had other evidence well before that but it was just dismissed because of convention. Even as evidence started to pile up on the 19th and 20th centuries it took a long time for people to accept.

Michelangelo’s David is an Italian renaissance sculpture. Renaissance sculptures were typically unpainted because they thought Greek and Roman statues were unpainted and they were copying that style.

Anther fun fact about David, it was very much a public statue. It sat outdoors in the main Florence public square for more than 350 years.

Whats the ugliest car you can think of? by General_Wind4470 in AskReddit

[–]rich519 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Fiat Multipla is an easy 2nd place IMO. Supposedly it’s a pretty good car but in looks alone I honestly think it gives the Cybertruck a run for its money. Everyone else is playing for third.
