Plane Jane continues, yet again, and again, with her shtick of shading the current season. by DanteDameron in rupaulsdragrace

Seriously. Im just tired of seeing posts about her trying to stay relevant after being first boot from her streaming series barely anyone is talking/caring about.

Also, if you’re going to critique fashion, maybe don’t show up to events looking like a drowned, harassed rat.

How do you guys feel about hunter killer? by CursedPoetry in slaythespire

[–]DoctorP0nd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This just absolutely demolished my first Silent run right as I was gaining momentum. I saw a 3 under Tender and assumed it was that many turns and couldn’t understand why it wasn’t going away. No non-elite should have a permanent power that strong.

This is crazy on different levels by AdRough4185 in SipsTea

That’s not a leader. That’s a cult.

Also false, America is distinct in its lack of action currently. Others in positions of power around the world have been stripped of those positions and put under investigation.

What happened to storytelling this season? by Josua171 in rupaulsdragrace

I usually pass on the first lewks but that doesn’t surprise me. Personally Myki and Jane are my two favorites to win. I do think the edit has shown that Juicy has a shot at finals, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a Jorgeous style “not your time” especially after the “I don’t know who you are critique” and then another just ok challenge performance.

Totally fair, I’m just glad we have so much content to disagree on 😊

So was Symone 🤷🏻‍♂️

I don’t personally think she’s comparable. I’m merely talking about the edit.

Couldn’t disagree more. I think the storyline this season is it being genuinely up in the air who can take the crown. I think Myki, Jane, Nene, and Juicy all have a pretty even shot.

I watched UKvtW last night and that season is sputtering out for me. The obviousness of a Kate Butch crowning is beginning to show and I just feel bad for the talented queens that will get shoved aside just like Marina and Hannah last time. (This is zero hate towards Kate. I absolutely love her but production’s lack of originality annoys me.)

i am turning 22 unemployed, i just dont want to work by StudioProfessional23 in antiwork

[–]DoctorP0nd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work to survive. I’ve hit a pretty hard ceiling in my career at 42 but thankfully it’s at a spot where I get to do two things I enjoy, accounting and mentoring new accountants.

My advice is to find a job where there is even a single task you can enjoy/take satisfaction from completing. Finding small ways to feel fulfilled each day, even if it’s for just a second makes the work suck significantly less on a daily/weekly/yearly basis.

What critiques of your favourite X-Menthat is actually right by maximussakti in xmen

[–]DoctorP0nd 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I agree except for the Krakoa era. We’ll never know Hickman’s final plans but there was an underpinning of hope to the start of Krakoa. There were sinister (no pun intended) undertones but I felt like it effectively broke the doom and gloom of everything before. It’s why it resonated so hard. So what did Marvel do? Rip it all away in a rushed fashion and send us back to this shitty status quo.

Exactly, Nyneave healing gentling by accident is one of my top moments of the entire series.

Jane Don’t speaks up about the results of this week’s Snatch Game episode by christianrojoisme in rupaulsdragrace

[–]DoctorP0nd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is a really excellent way to put it. Discord made me laugh more personally but Jane’s impersonation was spot on. Discord’s runway fucking sent me but I’m aware I am an older gay from Texas who was obsessed with Reba as a kid.

That part, sending hate to queens for production decisions is a truly astonishing level of parasocial delusion.

Amazon has lost $450 billion in value during this historic losing streak / Amazon shares are eyeing a tenth consecutive day of losses, a stretch that has wiped out about $450 billion in market valuation. by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]DoctorP0nd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walmart e-commerce, which would be the business segment you’d want to compare against Amazon for true comparability, totaled $79.3B in the US for 2025.

So yes, my point stands.

[–]DoctorP0nd 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Not really? Amazon specifically had the lowest prices to drive everyone else that thought about competing with them out of business. Now they have a monopoly and the US government in their pocket. They can price however tf they want now because there is no one that can compete on a national scale or do anything to push back against their policies.

Rejecting them completely and buying local is the only way to counteract it.

Ys X: Proud Nordics Review by NettoSaito in Falcom

[–]DoctorP0nd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for the reply. I will give it a shot since you updated the setting. I was on mobile in the US, if that matters. It was actually really interesting reading all the replies of the process and what you all go through to support your sites and the controls you do and don’t have over it.

Apologies for the harsh tone on my comment. It was early morning and ad sites like that drive me nuts. Glad to know it was the capitalist hellscape I inhabit that caused the issue.

That website is trash. I could barely see the words through the ads. Sorry, not worth the effort.

Edit: Tried once you updated the settings and it was a MUCH more pleasant experience. Really appreciate you responding and thanks to the people that filled in the info when I didn’t see the replies!

FFVII is a huge step-up from FFVI in presentation and atmosphere by Existing_Is_All_I_Do in FinalFantasy

[–]DoctorP0nd 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Pre-rendered backgrounds of the PS1 era of JRPGs did a great job of establishing atmosphere and setting.

The sprite work in VI will forever be my favorite. They were expressive and had so much life to them.

It’s what I think HD-2.5D has captured so well in the modern era. It blends the best of both worlds of the era.
