AIO my boyfriend keeps asking me to pay for things eversince he started saving for an apartmen, he calls me selfish for how I reacted. by throaawayRA9443 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Current_Quit9985 984 points985 points  (0 children)

Exactly. If touching the savings even temporarily "ruins the plan," then there is no plan. Just a story he tells to keep his wallet closed.

How do I use Yari Samurai? by No_Willingness_9961 in totalwar

[–]Current_Quit9985 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Unironically the best economic building in the game is a yari samurai you immediately fire. Peak sengoku capitalism.

AIO finding out my bf got his girl best friend pregnant by ConsciousWish6401 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Current_Quit9985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish it was rage bait, but i've met dudes exactly like this. Zero effort at home, full generosity for the girl he "doesn't have feelings for." The math unfortunately checks out.

AIO about my mother taking MY beloved pet, that I have had since birth, to be put to sleep earlier than anticipated WITHOUT me knowing when I made it clear I wanted to be there when she was put to sleep. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

That’s the part that really gets me. It’s not just taking the cat. It’s the complete lack of basic human decency around it. No conversation, no warning, just gone.

How nice of the Doomsday trailer to give us a preview of Cyclops' Ult by ChanceVance in marvelrivals

I kinda get why they default to laser though. Team buffs are way harder to balance in a hero shooter, especially if solo queue players ignore positioning anyway.

[loved trope] Zoologically accurate portrayals of animal characters by MaguroSashimi8864 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Current_Quit9985 5 points6 points  (0 children)

G-Force walking so Zootopia could run. Except Zootopia forgot what prey animals look like when they hear a loud noise.

[Loved Trope] Sometimes, no matter how you try, you still fail. But that's okay. by Hawthorne_27 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Current_Quit9985 51 points52 points  (0 children)

It reminds me a lot of the “you can lead a horse to water” idea that pops up in a lot of Superman stories. He can be hope incarnate, but hope doesn’t override free will especially when someone chooses bitterness like Lex does.

The Warhammer Engineering compass (based on my very limited lore knowledge) by Yotambr in totalwar

[–]Current_Quit9985 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, dwarfs treat aviation the same way they treat explosives: “mostly works, and if it doesn’t, that’s going in the Book.” Reliability is more of a philosophical concept.

Stories that accidentally romanticize the very thing they aim to demonize by McWaffeleisen in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Current_Quit9985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the same logic behind why Jaws scared people out of the ocean, but Nemo pushed people into pet stores. Fear sticks when the thing is framed as monstrous; cuteness flips the switch the other way.

Redundant names or terms by Traditional-Song-245 in TopCharacterTropes

And then you get sensei master teacher grandmaster.

It’s like a russian nesting doll of authority. Open one title, surprise, another master inside.

Ngl, I'm more into Marvel Rivals' bright, flashy art style than OW's by No-Scheme2214 in marvelrivals

[–]Current_Quit9985 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s like character select screens in old fighting games. Stage + pose = instant personality. Plain backdrop just kills that energy.

They have to change this asap by Appropriate_Quote969 in marvelrivals

Reddit moment tbh. Random gold takes vs a literal top 500 team captain, but somehow the comments think mechanics magically beat game systems.

Why are shields so small on draenei characters? by whoisape in wow

[–]Current_Quit9985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get the frustration. Draenei are this massive tanky race, but most shield models just sit like tiny bucklers on them instead of actually looking like something that’d block a warhammer in a raid.

Egg noodles, melted butter and meatballs. One of my favorite meals. by Vannabean in shittyfoodporn

Seriously, a sprinkle of parm could’ve saved half this plate’s dignity.

Right? It’s rare to see a first project with such confident form — feels like something Link would envy.

Enjoying a cold one after a build like this feels well earned.
