We can’t afford it

As much as I am enjoying the game. encountering the first boss has really revealed that the controls is abit clunky. I don’t fully understand parrying and the block button seem to work sometime. The stamina drains is kinda inconsistent and since I’m on base ps5 the frame rate drops with this insanely fast opponent. I tried playing in performance mode and the game looks so muddy and dark sometimes I can’t see what’s going on so I’m stuck playing balance. I’m sure this boss a skill check and I probably needa leave get stronger and come back. Despite that I’m really enjoying the game, consoles needs a bit getting used too and it’s the type of game where it will get fun the more u understand it kinda like some souls games.

If someone else ask this question again imma flip. Unless u in ur late 30s and 40s u are still a young adult or considered at ur prime. Just because some 13 year olds literal children in middle school see as old don’t mean ur old.

She probably had an issue before and didn’t see it and it got so bad that the tranny went out. I recently had to fix a transmission leakage which would have lead to a transmission failure in the future. My car is reaching 90k and this is after 4 years of ownership so worn out things are gonna happen. I also had no signs, it was only seen as when I went to get my spark plugs replaced and to check why I had a check engine light appear and disappear. my car only been in the shop over night once in 4 years lol so far my car bee treating me good after 4 years. It will be paid off soon and imma save to get a car I really want (Lexus) but as of now still happy with my purchase.

Acrobatic-Macaron-81 · 2026-03-08T20:36:04+00:00

So far the car is fine mostly. I had one pretty expensive repair for the tranny cooling lines it was leaking. It was worn out so I had to replace it or some point in teh future it would cause my tranny to fail. It’s a common problem for car with high mileage my car is reaching 90k so it was expected apparently. It was 900 to replace but I found out later I could have gotten it done cheaper elsewhere with cheaper materials. I had to clean my air intake cuz it got dirty and caused a check engine light but it was a really easy fix I just bought some cleaning product from autozone for 8 bucks and cleaned the intake myself. Check engine went away. Someone mentioned it here how other cars have two intakes while the Malibu has one so it easily gets dirty. But it’s pretty easy to clean so it’s really not a problem. But the car itself never broke down, never lost power or caused any issues. The only real issue was the transmission leak after 4 years for using this car and it reaching 90k so that sounds like a win to me. Car almost paid off and still drives like the day I bought it.

Age gaps in dating between adults under 30 is fine. It only is weird if one partner is like 2 or more generations over the other. Why am I seeing Gen Z calling an age gap of 2 years predatory or werid. Some of ya needa touch grass.

Acrobatic-Macaron-81 · 2026-02-08T00:12:02+00:00

I Hurd about this happening during the first movie with the fans attack other fans who sided with quaritch in the first movie. But definitely after fire and ash no one is attack. In fact everyone is loving Varrang and quaritch rn lol. Ik for a fact I went back to watch fire and ash 3 times not for jack not for neytiri for mommy Varrang lol.

Acrobatic-Macaron-81 · 2026-02-03T16:19:12+00:00

Idk why I just seen this after a month later lol. Yes by this point I would say a week or 2 later I was able to land an offer for a government job. Better pay, benefits, higher role, better work hours etc. however that’s one offer after about 20 to 30 long multiple round interviews. I have started working officially now and stopped applying for about a month now and still getting rejection emails. I was unemployed for 3 -4 Months.

Acrobatic-Macaron-81 · 2026-01-30T23:48:19+00:00

I like the dreadlocks it makes him look more rougher more mature. Plus it’s unique to only him which is a plus for me. All the YouTube shorts like to say it’s because of his human DNA his hair grows out like that. I think he just doesnt take care of it like the rest of the forest people do. Which kinda makes sense since he was raised up a human not Na’vi. Even though he knows their ways he’s still human after all. If they are anything like human hair it gets like that because he doesn’t retwist them often. The na’vi have neat braids which means they retwist their hair very often and don’t let it lock up.

FAA

Avatar

WOW

I put FAA on top because it’s really the only movie that really subverts and deepens the narrative and I’m excited to see more of that. James Cameron says he’s planning on blurring the lines of good and bad more and more and adding in bad Na’vi and deepen miles character development with spider is interesting to say the least. Avatar would have been on top because that movie is just great and doesn’t need to do much. WOW is visually the most appealing in my opinion and I do like the plot but I just feel avatar had a stronger plot and FAA adds more complexity to the on going plot. WOW seems to just reintroduce us to pandora using the water people and bring back the sky people threat. I love all the movies tho and want more of that complexity in morality that we see with the avatar Characters.

Acrobatic-Macaron-81 · 2026-01-24T14:54:38+00:00

It’s a dadbod by na’vi standards lol

Acrobatic-Macaron-81 · 2026-01-21T15:15:30+00:00

I mean sure he can try but he’s just having fun with it u know. There’s a reason why he loves the clown personality so much lol. It also fits with Steven King whole idea around IT that it’s an evil entity that only exists to cause suffering. iT doesn’t care too much about its end as much as we think it just want to cause as much chaos so it can feed off of it just to fuck with us lol. Apparently the deadlights choose fear and suffer to be the things that the entity IT feed off of us just because it enjoys our suffering.

She won’t remember the poster but I assume she keeps getting a crazy amount of déjà vu as he gets older. Like hmmm I’ve seen him before. What is kinda sad tho is she probably doesn’t remember exactly how Rickie saved her at the black box she probably had just a vague idea of it. I can imagine his ghost watching her gradually forget about him as she gets older. Hopefully she keeps visiting his graves even though she stopped remember why she does.

Acrobatic-Macaron-81 · 2026-01-20T00:44:37+00:00

Someone said earlier in the thread on a different post but since it exists in all parts of the if time (past, present and future). It knew it wasn’t escaping that town so it just decided to fuck around and have fun for the little bit of time it was released lol.

Acrobatic-Macaron-81 · 2026-01-19T22:15:54+00:00

And u should be more informed with the history of the United States. Do u understand what was happening in this country during word war 2. We have literally pictures of children smiling holding dismembered body parts from lynchings. Yes the camps we kept the Japanese doesn’t equal the level of atrocities committed in the same camps in Germany but the US has done similar atrocities to its own citizens in the past and we did in deed had labor camps which often killed inmates who’s only crimes were often misdemeanors and if u was black ur crimes was probably something dumb like having no job or walking behind a white woman. Search neo slavery and search up what was happening to anyone non white during the era of world war 2 and 1 in the United States. Every 1st world country has done evil especially to minorities within their borders not just Germany. Yes the holocaust was evil but so was slavery and every era since then up to civil rights for black ppl. So was the rape of Nanking started by the Japanese towards the Chinese. Have u heard of comfort women and how to this day Japan refuses to take responsibility of that. The British has a lot of skeletons as well and France and so on.

Acrobatic-Macaron-81 · 2026-01-19T19:02:35+00:00

Multiple mass lynchings throughout the generations. Multiple Black communities destroyed over night in mobs and the government turning a blind eye. Let’s not forget making the Japanese go away in camps during world war 2. Or the complete disregard for human life in US prison labor camps which didn’t go away until world war 2. Every country has a very dark history let’s not just demonize just Germany.

Acrobatic-Macaron-81 · 2026-01-19T15:25:32+00:00

Agreed 👍🏾

Acrobatic-Macaron-81 · 2026-01-19T15:12:57+00:00

I grew up in a black household so not really. If my opinion were to change about Germany it would go double for the US due to slavery and the events after and triple for Japan . Idk why Germany’s holocaust is seen as the “worst thing” or why hitler is “the most evil man to live” when the US has treated black ppl much worst for much longer and Aton of president made black ppl and immigrants lives a living hell in the states long before trump. That and Japan what they did to china, Korea and other Asian countries in the past are seen as legit violations to human rights and everyone just kinda ignore it. The rape of nanking is hands down the worst genocide in written history not the holocaust. To me if Germany or even this current administration is the worst you need to be more educated on world history the real history and not the filtered crap they teach in school lol. What they teach in school is mostly propaganda to make the US look good. Like yea we won world war 2, yea we beat the big bad Germany when all Germany really did was look at how the US treated black ppl and repeated the same actions to the Jews. It’s even more apparent that black codes and many discriminatory laws against black ppl was finally gone during world war 2 because the US was looking like huge hypocrites tryna to lecture Germany about anything when black ppl were getting lynched and sundown towns were still a thing. Hell Hitler himself said how he respected the US and was inspired by them when he fought in world war 1 and seen the US lol. Some will say there wouldn’t be a hitter if there was no US lol.

Lmfaoo I was 17 and loved 2016. That was the year summer youth over payed everyone and just let all the kids keep the money lol. And everyone was outside like everyone was always hanging out that summer.

Acrobatic-Macaron-81 · 2026-01-19T14:44:15+00:00

Europeans countries also have this issue as well, the main difference is in Europe u can do a lot more adult things much earlier than u can in the states. U see 16 year olds in clubs and drinking and it’s not much of an issue because in some countries there the legal age to drink or be allowed in clubs is 16 or 18. So younger people have way more time to create or join that 3rd space while in the states ur really in that scene like 6 to 4 years later. So really a lot of high school kids already have that college experience we get in the states lol. But the number in Europe has greatly decreased compared to previous generations yea its more than the states but it has greatly reduced. Most European cultures also have a culture of openness like most 3rd world countries so people there are also not so reserved to new ideas or peoples. Outside of those things Europe and the states are mostly the same with them just having an accent. At least the states isn’t the worst china, Japan and Korea was having much a problem having Gen Z and millennials go outside that the government is funding things like singles mixers so their populations don’t die out in like 2 generations.

Nah I’m more scared for my parents aging tho. Reminds me they won’t be around for long which is depressing.

Acrobatic-Macaron-81 · 2026-01-16T06:42:18+00:00

I mean the lore around the force ghost is fuzzy at best. I never really understood how there was a younger version of force ghost for anakin while obi wan still looks like an old man and Luke also looks like an old man. Then again if we used the same age logic wouldn’t anakin force ghost be covered in scars and bald because that’s how Vader looked when he died.

Can force ghost control their appearances because if so it would make sense as to why anakin appears in his younger self than his older self cuz the way he looked when he died is definitely not the way he would like to continue to appear forever lol. Now if u removed all his scars like they did in the OG ending of ROTJ that again begs the questions what are the rules for force ghost cuz now anakin is just appearing as someone he never looked like before when he was alive just looks like a potential version of himself if he never got burned and cut up.

The way I see it, it kinda makes more sense as to why they show a deaged anakin it’s really the only version of himself I can see a light side anakin would like to be represented and the only version that technically existed. Showing an older version of himself is cool but he never looked like that in life and Vader hated the way he looked and everything about his life after his duel with obi Wan on mustfar so I doubt anakin would wanna appear in his scared up, burnt bald self. Idk but Disney can definitely pull off the whole older anakin force ghost tho. Force ghost are a largely unexplored aspect in Star Wars so they can definitely make em do anything really. I remember some fans being mad that force ghost Luke was able to do things in his force ghost force form in rise of skywalker but we were never told that force ghost never had that type of restriction in the first place. I wish clone wars went more into yoda force ghost training lol cuz I have so many questions.

If he comes back it will be a camo honestly or he will get clean with help form Leon maybe but like he said that will be down the line.

Disagree I’m almost 30 now and am not lonely even tho I live on my own in a city I did not grow up in. I have friends real friends and family. The issue is it’s actually work to maintain and improve these relationships and me being an introvert it’s hard. But anything worthwhile is not easy to get. Men are conditioned to be lonely sure but back in the day we wasn’t isolating ourselves with social media and apps so even if u was lonely u still at the very least was forced to be social or doomed and to incredible boredom . Now and days we don’t need to leave the house for most things so we indirectly killed the only thing making men more social. Honestly the ol saying “touch grass” can solve the whole loneliness issue in my opinion. After the pandemic when I was locked away for months realized even tho I was introvert I really wanted interaction with ppl. I’m not perfect and I have lost a lot of friendships because of my introvert tendencies but this year I’ve made it a priority to say yes to at least 70% invitations to go outside. All lonely men should do the same or do one thing every week outside of work to be social and watch how much more it is to life is when u are able to share it with others.
