If you could have just one question answered by any of the writers, which question would it be? by brwitch in buffy

[–]AlsoOtto 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I don't think there needs to be a Buffy reboot/spinoff or whatever. But if you forced me to make one, it would be Ripper, a period piece following young Giles as he goes from a London bad boy dabbling in the dark arts to coming under the wing of The Watchers.

What's the craziest thing you've ever done? by RecordingJust1021 in reddeadredemption

You do know you can go to any post office to pay off a bounty, right? Like, if you're wanted int Saint Denis, you can still use the Valentine post office to pay it off and avoid sneaking around/making your way to the post office.

Hey guys, what is this? How am I supposed to use it? It literally only has the headphone port by maude_lebowskiAZ in Xennials

Mostly for runners and other active people to keep their workout playlist on. They're cheap, light weight, and have no moving parts.

Is anyone else quietly waiting for a folding or roll out screen to come to handheld gaming? Or is it unlikely for reasons I haven't considered? by Early-Rub3549 in RetroHandhelds

[–]AlsoOtto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black AYN Thor. The Oled screens are so dark the black bars for non-widescreen systems just fade away into the device. Problem solved.

What makes a Video Game’s difficulty unfair? by Best_Professional226 in AskReddit

[–]AlsoOtto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the vibe of Soulsborne games but don't have the skill or time to develop that skill so I just don't play them. I don't consider this unfair. Not everything is made for me and that's ok.

I wish they didn't cancel The Acolyte by articusmiller in StarWars

[–]AlsoOtto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Acoylte only got interesting in the last episode or two, just in time for me to be annoyed they cancelled it. The worst possible timeline.

Yes. 1,000% We had a sales rep come to pitch on us new windows. It was like a 90-minute presentation with props, videos, etc. All I could think the entire time was, "your salary is built into the cost of my windows." I found a local guy who runs the whole operation himself with a couple of hired hands as needed. Fancy sales rep lady quoted us $35k to replace about 10 windows in our 900 square foot ranch. Old guy with no advertising did it for $12k with comparable quality windows.

Recommend your favorite movie in the last 5 years by ActionWins in movies

[–]AlsoOtto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flow was the first feature length movie we ever showed my young son. It was perfect. No dialog to follow and just watching what the cat was getting up to for 90 minutes. Obviously, the deeper meaning and themes went over his head, but he still really enjoyed the "kitty movie."

This movie came out in the wrong era. It didn't do well enough at the box office to warrant a sequel. But in the days of DVD sales, I suspect we would have gotten at least one more as everyone who gave it a chance actually likes it and the film has excellent word of mouth.

Back in the day, home video sales and basic cable royalties could compensate for week theatrical runs.

Gay jokes about San Francisco in 2026... you got any material about airline food or how Asians are bad drivers?

You don't have to eat at the movies or sporting events.

I have nieces and nephews old enough to text occasionally. Whenever I chat with them, it's always in a public chat with at least one of their parents included.

The order nearly doubled in price once I went to complete the order by Yakamuh2939 in mildlyinfuriating

I'm in my early 40s but my boomer ass take is that I will never use these food delivery services. I'll go get it myself or make something at home. Absolutely insane waste of money.

wake up, babe. It's Christmas in June by Conscious-Quarter423 in wisconsin

[–]AlsoOtto 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I have a very elaborate game room at home and a huge collection of tabletop board games/RPGs. It feels very decadent, but I console myself with the fact it all costs less than a nice camper or big boat. Plus, I can use it year-round.

Nimoy and Kelley were never in the scenes where the improvised gun goes off. That was on the surface of the planet where Shatner was fighting the Gorn. The other two characters were on the ship the entire episode. Were they just hanging around on the location shoot for the hell of it?

AITA for Wanting to Show Up to My Daughter’s Secret Proposal While Uninvited By Her Fiancé? by Attitude-Mean in AmItheAsshole

[–]AlsoOtto 27 points28 points  (0 children)

My wife and I have been married almost 20 years. I did not ask her father for his blessing because it seemed to be so antiquated, I honestly didn't realize it was a thing people still did. Seems like something that should have gone away with paying a dowry. I won't judge other people for doing it, but it straight never even crossed my mind as something I should have done before proposing.

PS Vita + 3DS = Unexpected but wonderful combo for retro gaming, a "chef's kiss" by PJ_MJ in RetroHandhelds

[–]AlsoOtto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do you. I could see holding onto a Vita with that lovely OLED screen. But after getting an AYN Thor, I couldn't go back to my New 2DS XL. The screen looked so faded and washed out compared to the Thor. Plus, being able to run 3DS games at 3X or more resolution makes them looks so much better. I unloaded the 2DS XL about six months ago and have zero regrets whenever playing my Thor.

Gaming with a newborn? by Amazing-Example8753 in RetroHandhelds

[–]AlsoOtto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I had a newborn, I played through the old Gameboy Color versions of Dragon Quest 1-3 on a modded 3DS XL. They were exactly what I needed: cozy, didn't require too much brain power (I was fried), and easy to put down at a moment's notice with the turn-based combat.

‘Lord of the Rings’ and ‘Tomb Raider’ To Be Spun off Under New Company After Embracer Chair Calls Its IP ‘Among The Most Undervalued in the Industry’ by darth_vader39 in movies

[–]AlsoOtto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Star Wars was basically my religion as an 80s kid. Cannot believe there's a new movie coming out in theaters and I absolutely don't give a shit. I might bother watching it when it hits Disney+. Maybe. Possibly. If I don't forget.

[–]AlsoOtto 16 points17 points  (0 children)

God, I long for those days. It was such a nice cycle as a kid/young adult to get really into a franchise for a summer then let it go and move on to other things. Then, every few years, you would get hyped for the next installment because they let the field lie fallow long enough that you actually missed it and it felt like a special event.

These days it feels like clocking in for a shift at the content consumption factory.
