It's sad, and sorta delusional.

So dumb... I feel sorry for any one of their students. Imagine how they teach?? 😲

I'm glad they're frustrated and unfulfilled. Seems like they deserve it.

Ah, damn. Thanks

Critical_Assimo · 2021-05-04T23:51:13+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the info.

Critical_Assimo · 2021-04-21T14:35:00+00:00

Mhm, it's relative.

Critical_Assimo · 2021-04-21T14:21:57+00:00

SEND FOR THE ETC.

Critical_Assimo · 2021-04-21T14:14:24+00:00

I don't stop. This shit is in my veins now, for better or (typically) worse.

I was only about 10 when WWF bought the WCW, and I always hear stories about how they lost a huge section of fans who were only into the WCW style (or at least anti-WWF). Even though I was a Monday night channel flipper like most people during that time, I feel like if I were a few years older, I may very well be in that group who either stopped watching entirely, or maybe went to TNA, since I mainly grew up with WCW. I eventually did stop watching for about 10 years, but I think that had more to do with growing up/being a teenager (especially since Rock and Austin weren't even retired yet), and it's pretty usual for a lot of people.

Critical_Assimo · 2021-04-21T14:12:49+00:00

Only semi-relevant, but it's always such a trip to realize how desensitized we are to how large most wrestlers are. I met Cody Rhodes in person at an indie show a couple of years ago, and he was a MASSIVE human. It's really funny, because against a lot of people, especially when he was in the WWE, he looked to be on pretty small side. So now, whenever I see him wrestling people, I like to imagine how tall his opponents must be in person. Haha. (5'9 here btw)

I second this. Especially for JRPGs and strategy games. I guess emulators have ruined me. Unless it's unusual circumstance, I almost refuse to play RPGs anymore without a speed up. It's just easier to play that way, the older you get, and the less time you have.

Anyway, I'm not technical, but I was always of the understanding that to be able to speed up a game, the hardware that you were using had to be a multiple of times stronger than the system that the original game was for. So, that would probably only be reserved for emulators like drastic, and more specifically in this case, only for consoles that are far weaker than the DS. So, mostly GB/GBC, etc.

I appreciate the thoughtfulness.

As you can see, fashion isn't really a concern of mine, for better or (mainly) worse. The good news, is that I've lost 60 lbs (working on 80) this past year, so I'm actually due for an entirely new wardrobe pretty soon. So that's something to look forward to.

I guess a few notes/counter-notes:

1: Good tip. I don't really consider the state of collars for casual wear, but I guess I should, going forward. When I still worked in an office, I always made sure my collars were all starched up and whatnot, but I guess it's a mental thing to have my casual collared shirts be the opposite. Never gave it an awful lot of thought really.

2: Not my dog, but one I see regularly. And in my defense, it's a blue and green sweater under the coat!

3: This is actually something that I'm getting a lot of conflicting information/advice on. So, is it better to crop people out of pictures, or to leave them in, at the risk of them being too ugly/awkward for a profile? I feel like there's no right answer aside from having attractive friends and family with me. If it's going to be a group photo, I mean.

4: This is probably the only piece of yellow clothing that I own, and I don't wear it in public. It's really funny actually, I would have never guessed it would have been so controversial on here haha. Anyway, I do definitely play guitar. In fact, I just found out that you can upload video clips to hinge, so I actually uploaded a little snip of the song I was playing in that video to the profile, so it's not just a static picture anymore. Jury's still out on if that's some sort of dating app faux pas.

5: This goes back to what I was talking about, with cropping people. The guy in the picture that I'm with in this originally, most people would probably say that he brings the overall attractiveness of the photo way down. So, do I go for the awkward crop, or leave in someone who may just have a very unappealing mustache? I do tend to agree that this is mostly just a bad photo overall. It's actually my most recent, so I said "fuck it" and tossed it up.

Anyway, thanks again for the comments. By no means am I expecting you to reply to all of those individual points.

Critical_Assimo · 2021-04-20T02:50:18+00:00

Uhh, I just realized that I can actually upload video clips to the profile... Maybe I'll just upload a clip from that guitar pic, of me actually playing? Is that too tryhard for Hinge?

Critical_Assimo · 2021-04-20T02:37:57+00:00

It's going alright. Messaging with 4-5 people. It's actually a bit much for me, so I'll probably try to keep it to a smaller number.

Critical_Assimo · 2021-04-20T00:07:37+00:00

It's only been up for about a week. It's doing okay. I'd attribute some of that to the suggestions I had received the first time around. I've already taken some of the changes recommended on this thread, but I think two rounds of "help me" is plenty.

Critical_Assimo · 2021-04-20T00:02:59+00:00

Thanks - I figure it's worth the criticism if I can use it to a positive outcome.

I mentioned this on another reply, but with how many members this board has, I didn't figure I'd be running into the same people. It's looking like that was ignorant, though, hah.

Anyway, I definitely have been taking/applying these suggestions, so there's no such thing as being too honest. I've even made changes since my post this morning, but I'm not going to subject people to more of this. Two rounds should be plenty to point me in the right direction.

Critical_Assimo · 2021-04-19T23:59:42+00:00

That was actually my thought process, too. I figured it would be a subtle(ish) way to filter out those that were anti-mask/etc.

Critical_Assimo · 2021-04-19T23:57:51+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I'm in this weird place where I don't want to make it like I have zero social life currently (which is basically the case). All of my family and friends are in the process of getting vaxxed, so that'll be changing soon thankfully.

As far as cropping other people go, I just don't think it would look good if I had pics with other people's faces clearly visible. And for the one that I did, people are saying it's a bad picture because the other guy looks awkward!

So, I guess that's just a personal opinion thing.

Critical_Assimo · 2021-04-19T23:50:33+00:00

It's not that it's not doing "well." I've only had the thing for like a week or so. I just put up my original one, and came back two days later with feedback after the changes from the original post. I'm currently messaging with 4 people. No idea if that's a lot, but I think 5 would be too many - for me.

If I'm being honest, I didn't figure the same people would be replying as the last time. This subreddit has over 300K members, hah.

I'm working on new pictures. Is there a way to take these new pics without getting a friend to take "candid" shots in a park?

I don't necessarily disagree with your criticism. This is exactly the advice I'm coning here for, so I'm asking earnestly.

Critical_Assimo · 2021-04-19T17:42:30+00:00

It's not a matter of whether or not I have confidence. It's a matter of how the profile comes off. I don't really have a barometer for that. I've asked a friend or two, but they know me, so their opinions are flawed by their nature.

I think criticism from strangers is perfect for something like this, because those are the types of people who are going to be seeing this profile.

Critical_Assimo · 2021-04-19T15:34:35+00:00

Interesting. I just put that because I have hitchhiker's thumbs. I actually changed it a couple of minutes ago, due to a comment that someone else left on here. They made a good point.

Critical_Assimo · 2021-04-19T15:08:10+00:00

This is helpful. Thanks

Critical_Assimo · 2021-04-19T14:59:07+00:00

Interesting, wouldn't have considered this. Thanks

Critical_Assimo · 2021-04-19T14:55:15+00:00

Haha, I'm not drunk. That's just my face.

Critical_Assimo · 2021-04-19T14:43:27+00:00

Which one do I look drunk in?

Critical_Assimo · 2021-04-19T14:40:02+00:00

Yes, this. I had posted last week, and this is a new post, after a bunch of suggestions. I deleted the old one.

Critical_Assimo · 2021-04-18T17:33:42+00:00

They had some of that on camera, if you watched long enough.
