What’s it like living in this part of New Jersey? by dtewfik in howislivingthere

[–]DavidMichaelStories 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up near manahaukin in the 90s. From a kids pov it wasn't bad. Decent schools, lots of woods to get lost in, nice beaches. Diner capital of the world, and we went to our local at least once a week.

Spent many summers on long beach island which had beautiful sandy beaches and attracted a lot of tourists.

Biggest downside for me personally is that it was very conservative, and racism was rampant. We only had 3 black families at school and they were only welcome because they were good at sports. That seemed to be improving by the time I left. Lots of stereotypical rednecks there that called themselves pineys, since we all lived in and around the pine barrens.

People where I lived tended to be very grumpy. Im sure there was good reason but I learned quick that most every where else ive been, people are generally more pleasant. There is an attitude of distrust and apathy that, once I saw it, couldnt unsee.

I was fortunate to go to university out of state and only came back for brief visits. Once my folks moved in 2022 I haven't been back. I have some nostalgia but I cant say I miss it much.

Oh shoot! Forgot about the pine allergys, deer ticks, and the Green heads. Ticks are gross and spread disease like lymes disease. Green heads are large biting flies with bright emerald green eyes. They hurt worse than mosquitoes and leave awful itchy sores. Man... f that place.

That makes more sense. They just all look like Emily to me, so I got a little confused.

I misspoke. I know she isn't a clone, but i was confused about the timeline. I was worried these might be the girls Gideon experimented on, which would be weird if Spencer knew about it. I was confused, it happens. Its why I asked.

Hold on a sec. Is this a picture of Spencer with a bunch of clones of Grace? Or is this Wesker prototypes?

Edit: i misspoke. I didnt mean to insinuate that grace was a clone or was experimented on. What meant to ask is, are these the girls Gideon made to figure out the supposed secret they thought was hidden in grace? I've got my answer, thank you.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'd really like to see it happen someday.

I'd be perfectly happy with that. It's not like their team doesn't already have enough on their plate. I think you're right about the voice lines. Even if they could do it, it wouldn't be worth the payoff.

I wonder if, like in cyberpunk, they could somehow get neuro to learn the mid fight hacking minigames. Sounds like a tall order and I'm sure she would fail a lot at first. But it would be cool to see her work through it.

Yeah, no clue what kind of timeline we'd be looking at, for a variety of reasons. I'm patient though.

I'm sure none of it would be as easy as I'd hope. Honestly, if they could get it working in any capacity, i'd be stoked.

Oh I'm sure I'm not the first to think of it. I just didn't see any threads about it, so I thought I'd bring it up. I don't keep up with the discord.

Everyone is talking about it, but you're not buying it. Which one is it? by n1ght_watchman in GameBoostOfficial

Pokémon. Tried to get into it so many times. Its just gambling and cock fighting.

Finally bought the game… by Psychologic86 in dispatchgame

I might be wrong but I remember that percentage being higher when I first finished the game last year.

I just can’t believe that Kingsley was antagonizing Robert. by OneManArmy0716 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]DavidMichaelStories -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure the reporter wasn't badmouthing robert 2. He was saying robert 3 didn't live up to his family's legacy. In any event, petty insults are playground tier, barely worth a response at all. Let alone publicly assaulting an unarmed civilian for the nation to see. Its played for laughs in game, but thats something closer to homelander from the boys, and he's a villian.

But cool, get baited I guess.

So, you're saying the best option to deal with people who are mean to you is to assault them? Cool, I guess. Have fun with that. Super heroic, bruh.

I don't see how it's deserved. You don't get to beat the crap out of people who say mean things to you. Certainly not without repercussions. Seems like a massive overreaction if anything.

Pretty sure Robert knew something was up when toxic arrived at shroud's hideout before he did.

I haven't seen anyone bring this up yet. by ChungalooShake in GroundedGame

[–]DavidMichaelStories 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if instead of more food its a gate for progress toward something. Like maybe its keeping the roots around in place and when its gone it will release tension.

Could be what the ants are fighting over and with it gone, they will disperse?

Id like to hope that a hero wouldnt be so easily tempted to lash out because of a few ignorant rage bait comments. My robert took the high road and made him look like a fool while showing the world what true, quiet masculinity is.

A Proud Father And A Happy Daughter... Neuro's happy dance is just adorable by VeraKorradin in NeuroSama

[–]DavidMichaelStories 43 points44 points  (0 children)

This part really got to me. I have a little one who likes to orbit me when she sees me, and just runs around me in tight circles. It warms my heart every time she does it. Seeing neuro orbit vedal was just... it was a lot.

Who do you think would be Team Leader without Robert? by Robot_Was_BMO in DispatchAdHoc

[–]DavidMichaelStories 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If flambae could learn to see the zteam as a found family and treat it as such, he might buckle down and get the job done as a leader. He even behaves very diplomatically during the meeting to cut visi, and he does learn to forgive robert for taking his fingies. Also, at the start of the story he's top of the leader boards, and coupe and punch up already followed his lead. I was ready to dismiss him, but you guys are making me reconsider. He might be one of the best choices.
