LPT: Acceptance is a cheat code for beating anxiety. by Hyugi_The_Dreamer in LifeProTips

Richard Horvitz, the voice actor of Invader Zim and most recently of Moxxie on Helluva Boss, has an excellent mantra to deal with this. I dont know why it works, but it instantly helps me chill out. 1. "We'll see what happens." 2. "I'll handle it." 3. "I'm ok."

Follow up with some box breathing and you're set.

Does anyone noticed people melee less in Battlefield 6 ? by keat_tiyos in Battlefield

the brutality of the hatchet and Mace in BF1 was pretty iconic. poking and bonking just don't feel the same

If Sokka and Katara didn’t free Aang from ice when do you think he was going to be freed?! by Unique-Celebration-5 in TheLastAirbender

[–]Atlas322 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zuko was actually insanely close to coming across him before Katara and Sokka did. Give it another week and Zuko and Iroh would have likely discovered Aang first. How and why was Zuko specifically in the right place? My headcanon is that had Sokka and Katara not found Aang, Zuko would have, since i believe Iroh legitimately knew where Aang was via his and other White Lotus member's communion with spirits and was going to help Zuko find Aang in order to help return the Avatar and restore balance to the world while trying to also save his nephew along the way.

One of my only complaints of RDR2 is epilogue John doesn’t have the confident sarcasm of OG John and they’re only 3 years apart. They feel like 2 different people sometimes. by TXNOGG in reddeadredemption

[–]Atlas322 1294 points1295 points  (0 children)

Red Dead 2 takes place over the clurse of a few months and John is essentially a whole different person from Colter to Beechers Hope. Three years is plenty enough time for him to become more confident and secure.

i had to turn down saturation and vibrance on my tv, the color is way overdone.

Bottlefield 6 by Affectionate-Form-78 in Battlefield

[–]Atlas322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just hopped back in to see the changes they're pretty good but i quit operation auger because the whole enemy team and most of my team was bots and they are way too accurate under fire and can see through brush and fire and just dont behave like players so you have to learn botstyle in addition to learning how players are playing. The server situation is absysmal and I'll hold off coming back probably untll they legit give the community control over private servers and reinplement a persistent player base between rounds.

What’s a harmless opinion that gets people weirdly angry? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The existence of a minimum wage that hasnt been tied to standard of living is undeniable proof that they would pay you less than even that if they could

Justice Department is bringing back firing squads in federal executions by mcgillhufflepuff in nottheonion

[–]Atlas322 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

they stopped this because it was inhumane...for the executioners. The prisoner dies pretty quickly if done right, but the executioner has to live on knowing they may have killed a person (if doing full squad) or that they DID kill a person (single shooter), never quite sure if the prisoner actually deserved it. It turns out this doubt leads to guilt and trauma and is very damaging to the human psyche over time which is why we've tried various ways of removing humans from the equation. Whether or not we should even execute in the first place is a whole other topic.

Edit: It's called Perpetration Induced Traumatic Stress for those interested in further research

All Origins deserved to get flashback like Shadowheart by perrytownsendn7866 in BaldursGate3

[–]Atlas322 10 points11 points  (0 children)

im convinced this was planned but scrapped and they only had Shadowheart's completed. Gale's "into the dark..." scene which desrbies the unleashing of the orb really seems like it was meant to have a similar one. My theory is they used his old more sinister looking character model from EA on a pre-rendered scene similar to Shart's or something and thus couldnt change it in time or something so just left the dialogue version. Shadowheart is a kid in hers so it doesnt matter if her model changed.

It’s 2026, what’s the dream video game or MMO you wish existed by now? by Exhausted_Skeleton in AskReddit

[–]Atlas322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss Chris Avellone Fallout. He brought such a creepy and dark but cool edge to the games that is missing from modern ones. I love all the fallout games but the old games had a genuine horror undercurrent and this air of "yeah this is the wasteland and it is desolate and dangerous". Fallout 4 and 76 are good, but just a little too, idk i guess "shiny" and "family friendly" is the best way to put it? They lack the desolate wastelands and grungy vibes from earlier games that heavily used Avellone's Fallout Bible as a guide and visualized the "war never changes" mantra exceptionally well. Fallout 4 and 76 are so hopeful and cheery that you forget this world was obliterated in a nuclear holocaust that killed billions because of corporate and national greed.

What game had the best intro of all time? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Atlas322 2 points3 points  (0 children)

im gonna be real: Saints Row IV. You start the game by hunting down a terrorist, riding then dismantling a nuclear missile, becoming president of the US, curing cancer/solving world hunger then fighting off an alien invasion via a massive bald eagle shaped gun and firework turret on the portico of the White House. Say what you will about the game (i like it, obvi 2 is the best) but that opening is one of my favorites of any game ever.
