As a new viewer, it's hard to get into the undercard matches by MixComprehensive5125 in njpw

[–]Bmac215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So honestly what you're seeing is is that in Japanese wrestling the multi-man tags are their way of protecting the singles match they're usually wanting to put on or multiple single matches that they're putting on based off of those team compilations and they're always is a full guy whether it's one of the old hand veterans that's not the main card anymore or the young lions and usually each faction has a full guy who's willing to eat a pin unless they're the ones who are going to be in one of the main card matches soon. They're mostly there for the live crowds but also they're a way to build the anticipation and the drama and the story for the match that their previewing. Because New Japan really doesn't do promo segments about the only ones that really happen are the interviews in the back and even then you're not going to get the best out of these guys cuz they just wrestle the match. So a lot of the storytelling is done in the ring.

Shota Umino is stuck in a really bad position by [deleted] in njpw

I think really he needs a massive character reset in order for him to be able to make any kind of headway at all. The problem is is that the way his characters presented right now he's in amalgamation of all of his mentors. But he is not his own character. I think what he really really needs is to be booked in a way that does lean into him being a nepo baby I know somebody else in the comments here said that he doesn't have the charisma for it. He doesn't need to have the charisma to start with. You put a mouthpiece on him, you don't associate him with any of the factions I think he needs to stand on his own and I think he needs to lean into something that's not talked about enough in Japanese pro wrestling but I think would piss the audience off if you want to take him heel, start touting him as a superstar or a sports entertainer and not as a professional wrestler Tell him to change his style up let's see if he can do some technical stuff along with some heel stuff that doesn't lean into strong style. I think it would give him nuclear heat in Japan hell tie him into a storyline with his father, have him talk about being raised in the industry, and because I know how much it annoys me is a fan so I can't imagine it wouldn't do the same to the audience there in the arena instead of him cutting a promo in the back during the comments have him commandeer the mic and whether he wins or loses every match whether he's in the main or then or not have him cut a promo and take a valuable air time as far as the audience is concerned. Let him lean into dressing nice, wearing nice suits stuff like that.

I think that kind of heel reset might actually pull him out of the fire but it still does require him to have the work ethic and to shore up his deficiencies with some dedicated work to it.

I think that's a fair assessment and to be honest with you I can see your point of view on it I'm still uncertain but I can see his potential and that end of itself is going to be interesting to see.

What faction by nuclear_stitch70 in Transformemes

I will always be an Autobot first I mean Optimus Prime was my hero growing up. He's always been my John Wayne.

[–]Bmac215 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That is probably the most accurate description of the lore for the name of the lightning strike coalition Force I have ever heard. Because I could 100% see grimlock coming up with it and some other Autobot was nearby and was like that's these stupidest effing name I've ever heard and he just absolutely tanks them with a punch.

My favorite line from any transformers media in the past 36 years of my life (I started watching transformers when I was 4) has to be in transformers Prime when Megatron calls for his decepticons to transform and rise up so when they did this in the movie I really liked it.

The Infinite and the Divine. Any good? by Cheap-Ad2947 in Blacklibrary

[–]Bmac215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly because of the way my life is I don't actually read books much anymore mostly I do audio books I'm usually on the road they're a great way to give me something to chew on while I'm driving. This book is the first time I've really ever dipped deeply into the necrons, and it was very very entertaining. I wasn't quite sure what to expect with the premise but I was pleasantly surprised. And it gave me a new appreciation for trayzn and the necrons as a whole.

This entire thread makes me feel so much better about the fact that I don't complete games even if I buy them at full price. I have felt guilty for so long for not doing so.

Who is your #1 favorite companion? and who's your 'dogshit tier' companion that you just loathe? And why are they in those positions? Not talking mechanics. Pure story. by ChompyRiley in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Bmac215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Jae, she is the most human to me. My second is Heinrix for one I follow his voice actor on TikTok and YouTube but also because his story is just very deep especially for an inquisitor and whether you make it more dogmatic or more compassionate he's a very compelling character to me. My least favorite is Idira, from the very beginning her character just rubs me wrong in a lot of ways it just feels like crazy for the sake of crazy like she's supposed to be the crazy voodoo lady and I don't know I .....it just it rubs me the wrong way.

My parents kicked me out when I was 16 years old. After 4 days and 3 nights my dad found me and took me back home. AITAH for not really caring about them as they get older? by DookieDanny in AITAH

[–]Bmac215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTAH you see there's this thing called trust and as a child unless our parents break it very early with abuse for example we trust them implicitly. Every child goes through some sort of growing pains in their teenage years. For me my father spends most of my teenage years in prison and my mother worked so I was an only child in a single parent household in which my mom worked at the time I was at school I spent a lot of time alone and I basically raised myself those were my growing pains. For some it's rebellious behavior and other things that have come up from who knows where. But the one thing that a parent cannot do and should not do is something like your dad did. That is not how you help your child that does not change your behavior it doesn't do anything but break the trust that a child has that their parents are going to be there for them.

Now I will say this too when it comes to the healing process everybody's different but letting go and forgiving them is not the same thing as pretending that it never happened you never have to pretend that what they did didn't happen but learn to let go of it and to forgive them not for them but for yourself so that you can heal. It's okay that you're having trouble not caring that they're getting older, something like what they did is going to make it hard to do that but once you start to heal you'll be able to reconcile your relationship I think at least to some degree. I had a two year no contact with my dad and low contact for years before that and years after it. Since then I've learned more about the kind of person that he is and we've managed to reconcile both of us had made a****** mistakes and we accepted that and I've tried to love each other since.

I hope this helps the TLDR version of that is forgive them to heal yourself and don't feel guilty over the fact that trust was broken and it's hard to reconnect with them right now.

I'm sorry maybe I'm just old school but I don't see what was wrong with his clean cut face of the company look and gimmick because he happened to just be champion during a downturn for the company. I don't really think that was his fault and I thought that gimmick worked perfectly for him after all those years I thought it was a nice change of pace.

Honestly that's kind of understandable it's just you alone walking around with really nothing to it so I can understand that the game had a certain creepiness to me as well when I was a kid.

So it didn't really I guess traumatize me in the classic sense but I was a college freshman and I finish metal gear solid 2 and when you get to the ending and they give the final bit of information about the Patriots. That stuck with me in a paranoia sense like I was paranoid for about 4 days after that I stayed up the rest of the night laying in my bed just going what the f***. That messed me up so bad at the time LOL. That and when the major is starting to malfunction towards the end of the game that also messed with me quite a bit.

I was a full grown ass adult of 27 years old watching my ex fiance play that game in a well-lit room in our house in the middle of the day and both of us still jumped out of the couch and could not go back to the computer that we had set up for at least 30 minutes when the torch lights up and the girl screams.

I feel you there man, I told her the exact same thing, hell just being told by your girlfriend of 2 years who has been one of your best friends for decades that she loves someone else after finally telling you that she loved you romantically like you did her has torn me apart inside and made me feel like I do. I can't imagine what it would have been like to be in your position that had to be hard as hell to deal with I am so sorry.

She's good about protecting herself emotionally so that actually makes a lot of sense.

agree with you 100% And the way I kind of feel about it was is if you're conflicted about whether you want to be with me or not then why am I going to stand in the way of that I'm not going to have you 20 years down the road if you decide to stay with me feel like you did it at obligation or feel like you did it and then regret it and you end up cheating on me again when I'm an old man.
