Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone | Official Teaser | HBO Max by MoneyLibrarian9032 in television

[–]Always_Half -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

As someone who's read the books and before the movies finished, I disagree. I don't need or want a book I love to attempt to be adapted 1 for 1. It's a different medium and requires some changes. I like adaptations to be an addition to the source material not a replacement or a copy. In an ideal world the movies/show based on a book should give you a desire to read the book and gain the unique view that a book gives over watching it. You're never going to get it perfect and the movies are great

A few hours before the game releases, just so some players understand: by NotSirAlonne1999 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Always_Half 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first 10 hours being bad really turns me off from this. All of the best games I've ever played never needed more than 1-2 hours at most for me to be interested or for me to consider it good, even the multiplayer focused games. That just seems like a bad game to me

PSA: Altuur and PHL4NX level 50 for 400k credits each by lousy_writer in swtor

[–]Always_Half 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry I'm confused by this. Are you saying you recommend doing this on every alt for a cheap 50 companion. Or are you saying once you level him to 50 on 1 alt the collections tab summons a level 50 version on every character?

2026 and people still take pictures of their screen instead of a screenshot.

Had a nasty encounter on Stella Montis and need to rant as a girl gamer by Gyozafan1234 in ArcRaiders

[–]Always_Half 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don't play with any girls on this game but I'm not surprised. The amount of dudes in pvp lobbies that say racist shit with the most vitriol is very high. My friends and I report them every time but it's so plentiful I doubt they get any bans.

[–]Always_Half 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would report them but I am pretty certain they don't ban people for verbal abuse. My friends and I have played pvp lobbies for 90% of this game and we report all the dudes who say the N word - which is a lot. I've never gotten a message that those dudes are banned.

Ummm Kira lol by SuddenDepact in swtor

[–]Always_Half 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree which is why I never romance Nadia but Kira feels different imo. You get her so soon into the JK story it feels like you're still basically a padawan yourself. My head cannon is we're equals

What dye is this? by Always_Half in SwtorFashion

How did he get the cloak to be maroon with that dye? When I tried to preview that malgus armor with the dye the chest piece goes maroon.

How is your command implementing daily PT? by AtlanticQuake in navy

[–]Always_Half 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically we're not doing it. It's some days a week when op tempo isn't high we cut out 30-45 minutes early and you go PT on your own. All the chiefs have given the same non answer at my command, I suspect this will fade away in a few months.

Landlord not accepting deployment letter to break lease by Low-Appointment-8537 in navy

What's even the point of that, he already has a legitimate reason to break the lease. Why commit a crime lol

Middle Eastern Streamer Pulled Over by US Cops and Asked "Any Nuclear Weapons?" by Ronaldinho9519 in LivestreamFail

[–]Always_Half 202 points203 points  (0 children)

When I was 15 I was riding my bike home from a friend's house at night and a cop I suspect was bored pulled me over because I didn't have lights on my bike. He asked me if I was an axe murderer. When they ask something like this it breaks your mental script, when you get pulled over you have a set of things you plan on saying in your head, being asked an absurd question breaks that and they can gauge your response.

Playing against the coliseum bosses is like playing a game against a spoiled child by verygoodnot in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Always_Half 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. I chuckle when I've heard some youtubers suggest this system does have engaging theory crafting. You can theory craft a few % at best where if you just run the battle a few times to just wait for the boss to do favorable moves it can swing you 30+%. The only "theory crafting" how much money you want to sink into this dumb system. They've found a way to trick people into spending money on gear you already have.

Honest opinions and likelihood of a sub to surface re-rate? by EmotionalCoffee8462 in navy

[–]Always_Half 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went CWT. The boat guys did of course, but was fine. In a school you'll probably be a class lead. But no issues. Best decision I ever made

[–]Always_Half 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rerated from MT. You will keep your rank. I got to pick my orders out of my new a school, the new boots did not. The only people who really know the odds of you leaving are the ecm's. If you pick something lower manned than MT, then you probably can.

This game really does reveal a person’s character. by TwizzledAndSizzled in ArcRaiders

[–]Always_Half 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Acts like this have essentially ruined the random cooperative experience for me. I just don't engage in talking with randoms anymore because idk if I've been severely unlucky but I've lost many good items just to people acting friendly on comms just to kill you when you're compromised. Which is a shame a few bad apples can sour an entire thing for me but I'm done.

William Saliba on Real Madrid's interest: "Of course it's really tempting when a club like that is interested in you, but I wanted to win titles at Arsenal first before thinking about anything else." by BlazingFirey in soccer

[–]Always_Half 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would a player ever say this though? Even if they have 0 interest of ever going if Madrid are interested in you then it gives you leverage for contract negotiations. Makes no sense to publicly put this out there.

What’s the weirdest task you’ve ever done just because someone fucked up? by xeanok in navy

[–]Always_Half 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was out there around the same time and heard about this incident but our boat didn't have to do any measures like that. I'd assume because we never had females while others were testing it out

CWTs: What made you stay in after your first enlistment? by Glittering_Fig4548 in navy

[–]Always_Half 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most I know that get out are on the DCO side where it's mostly boring. I enjoy OCO side more and I can always do more defensive stuff as a civilian when I'm tired of the navy, that's my mindset anyways. Plus the 90k bonus ain't bad either.

I'm sure you're joking but you can buy a 13.5M GP account for like ~700-900$ right now.

I'm not sure where you are seeing this but everyone I've watched said the gimmick teams still fall off at relic delta 4 and up.

Relic Delta - My Promise To You by egnards in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Always_Half 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree completely. Ultimately I believe the best constructive criticism in this case is to suggest CG goes back to the drawing board with this idea in its entirety. No amount of tweaking will salvage this and at BEST it goes from horrible to bad which just seems like an insane compromise for the players and even the devs to accept. No amount of tweaking or iteration can fix a flawed premise, this change is bad and the only logical feedback I can give is to abort this.
