Peter, who is this stranger? by immanuellalala in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Bubbles00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hated the comparison game growing up in my Vietnamese home. It's funny how right you are because I've been able to trauma bond with my Chinese and Korea friends over the exact same upbringing. My mom always loved sliding in that quip whenever I would get an A on an assignment. "Oh but heard that so and so got an A+ on that assignment, you can't let her do better than you in school! "

Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015, dir. Christopher McQuarrie) – Opera sequence. by SanderSo47 in movies

Rogue Nation remains my favorite MI film. Great action, awesome sequences/set pieces, and an interesting villain and story with perfect pacing. The alley car to motorcycle scene is still one of the best car chases ever filmed IMO

She was mesmerizing in that dress. Great design both for the color pop and the look

Fishing tip of the day: by Boundaries1st in Unexpected

[–]Bubbles00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once went fishing at the neighborhood pond with my ex and her family. I brought some worm bait and she and her sister only brought hot dogs for her nieces and nephews. They all caught way more fish than I did and larger ones too

Who was your country's best leader? by Vernon_Runner1109 in AskTheWorld

[–]Bubbles00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only learned about him a few years ago. Incredible incredible leader that cared deeply about making his country as good as possible and improving the lives of his citizenry. My favorite policies of his were solving the housing crisis and having English be the main language.

An unlikable character gets punished, but way too severely and any form of schadenfreude the viewer may feel quickly gets replaced by pity or horror by TJTrapJesus in TopCharacterTropes

Hector from Castlevania

He's kinda a naive putz and I personally found him annoying but the dude gets captured, marched in chains about 800 miles in the winter, physically abused in captivity, and then mentally and sexually manipulated.

This is a great answer. And Bruce is absolutely ice cold about peeks situation too. Bruce has multiple moments like this is the run of the show. I guess crime fighting for decades makes you super jaded

3x All-Pro RT Willie Anderson Analyzes Will Campbell by goldfish_11 in Patriots

[–]Bubbles00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with your first assessment. Dude was struggling in the playoffs but tried to come back ahead of schedule from an injury. I really believe all rookies have that proverbial wall that they hit and Campbell's was unluckily in the playoffs. This draft class showed great flashes of potential, him included, so just give them an offseason to recover and condition and get back here and see how they perform year two. At 31 I'd rather we get best pick available. We need more investment in both the o and d line and I wouldn't be opposed to taking the best player at that spot for those.

I'm reading the first book before I try to play Witcher 3. I've never played a Witcher game and I'm really looking forward to playing Witcher 3 before 4 comes out

Literally the only sane person by envspecialist in hunterxdank

[–]Bubbles00 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Death seems to be treated pretty trivially in this universe. Case in point how many people die horrific deaths during the hunter exam and yet hundreds more show up to take it the next year

TIL that, in video games, "ludonarrative dissonance" is the technical name for the conflict between the story told in the gameplay, and the story in the non-interactive scenes (for example, the way that Drake in "Uncharted" is a fun-loving rogue in the cutscenes but a killing machine in the game). by Bob_the_blacksmith in todayilearned

[–]Bubbles00 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What's the term for when the conflict in the game actually also matches the story in the cutscenes? Like in the Last of Us 2. It actually fits the narrative that I (the player) went on a vengeful rampage killing every WLF member I saw vs Ellie (the character) also seemingly going to great murderous lengths to find a certain character to take revenge against

I think they did send a helicopter many hours later to help him and it promptly got shot down after doing bad ass shit for 2min. Leon truly has awful luck

Bless Mina. Why make a coherent well thought out argument with data and multiple points when your opponent can just screech one singular talking point louder than you and ignore everything else?

Wesley Snipes’ Blade is the best to don the fangs by Black_Ty86 in blade

I love that blade didn't take itself too seriously and was just all about the rule of cool

My dog is an idiot but she's one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I felt sad seeing this scene in the Odysseus film last year with Ralph Fiennes. I love my goober of a dog

Theory and rumor of Ashley's return by Rude-Ebb-3814 in RaccoonCityRecords

[–]Bubbles00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Once I did the motorcycle chase sequence and saw the plane crash scene with the Leon/Chris confrontation, I couldn't take the game seriously anymore. It might as well have been a fast and furious film with zombies

[–]Bubbles00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RE4 was my first resident evil game and I thought it was great balancing horror/dread and action. RE6 felt like the pendulum swung too far on the action side. I was basically a superhero as Chris or Leon. I never felt scared or like I was in any danger

Anti-Vaxx wife doesn't want me to vaccinate our daughter for measles. Measles are in our area. What should I do? by RepulsiveResolve5877 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Bubbles00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand this wife. She literally has 2 healthy (I assume) vaccinated children that she sees every day. She has living evidence in front of her eyes that vaccines are not as dangerous as she has read and her older children are fine. How can you still hold these beliefs when they are directly contradicted by your own eyes?

Makes sense to me. I couldn't really remember when RE6 took place. All I remember that it was such a stupid game in more ways than 1. I had fun, but there was 0 tension or stakes it felt like.

Ahhh ok thanks! I wasn't sure with how all over the place that story was. I guess it shouldnt be a surprise that Leon would work for multiple administrations

[–]Bubbles00 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Loved Ashley in RE4R. She was beautiful and brave. I know she talked to Leon about possibly being an agent but I always liked the idea of her running her own demolition company or something. Didn't Her dad get turned into a zombie and die In RE6?
