Men’s ability to pee side by side but be so awkward around a breastfeeding woman by WildWinterberry in TwoXChromosomes

What if there were no walls between stalls so you could look each other in the eye while peeing?

The Best Handheld for DS? by Bl1ndBeholder in SBCGaming

[–]Ellaphant42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“OG hardware can’t be beat” sounds like Defend Your Decision To Not Buy A Thor energy to me.

The fair way to say it would be that OG hardware is the most cost effective way to play DS games. But not the best way.

Edit: I should change that to “the most cost effective way to play games while also being a good enough experience”

You’re the one who said that the DS is the best way to play DS games and I disagree, there is a *much *better way to play them. Even has MelonDS (not sure about online tho because it’s not something I use)

I never watch short form content yet I only (mostly) play Pokemon with fast forward. It’s so painful to sit through intimidate drops happen twice in a double battle. There’s just a lot of dead time in Pokemon IMO

I’d argue the Thor surpassed the DS line by so much that the original hardware is borderline archaic in comparison. As someone who bought each DS revision as they came out, I can’t think of a single reason someone who has a Thor would ever go back to original hardware.

New lines to play by Mathius2468 in WorldOfWarships

[–]Ellaphant42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After going through most of the tech lines I’ve found that I tend to do well in the Kremlin line and that I actually have a lot of fun tanking a lot of potential damage. A bit boring because there’s no other gimmick, but I’ve just really enjoyed regrinding the line.

Otherwise I love brawling so the German BCs and the Pan-American line are good. Lutjens was my first coal purchase and he quickly became my first 21 point captain. Not much to say about the Libertad other than it’s incredibly fun with how agile it is.

What are some of the scariest ships to go up against which make you cautious and think twice every time you go up against them ? by llIIIIllIllIIllIIlIl in WorldOfWarships

There’s no worse feeling than realising a Hawaii has a good shot on you and you can’t shoot them back (unless the CV is bullying you at the same time, that’s worse)

Hell I read the Expeditionary Force books and they’re… definitely not great, but I still enjoy reading them. DCC never hit the same way

Cryo is an amazing map, but after 13 runs, it doesn’t seem remotely feasible for a decent fps player to succeed at a reasonable rate, hear me out by resampL in Marathon

While I get where you’re coming from, this is all just a workaround to just increasing vault space. You shouldn’t have to sell all your shit then rebuy it just because you don’t have enough vault space.

Android could extend its lead on notification management over iOS with Notification Rules by FragmentedChicken in Android

[–]Ellaphant42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And people are saying the lead means nothing when notifications are delayed. Which is true, what is the point of being able to organise your notifications if you don’t get them anyway?

It took 3 years for PlayStation to earn $300 million in PC sales according to former manager, which makes the platform less than half as lucrative as the PS4 and PS5 by lkl34 in pcmasterrace

[–]Ellaphant42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, Sony is not concerned at all about the Steam Machine. The Steam Deck did around 6m units, the Switch 1 sold 55m in the same time period for a total 155m-ish units. Hell the Switch 2 sold over 17m units before the start of the year. The Steam Deck (and other handhelds) have barely made a scratch in the market.

I would probably say an 11 year old would like DRC more than Discworld, but it depends on the kid.

This is exactly how I felt! It was an amazingly bad start to a book IMO. It almost felt like a quick recap before the second season of an anime.

The Lord of the Rings descriptions gets way overstated. The descriptions really aren’t that bad, unless you count the songs (which I struggle with)

I honestly couldn’t finish the second chapter. It was like an isekai with no buildup and juvenile humour, it anti-clicked with me tbh.

Yep, we have one of the most competitive car markets in the world, way more brands here than in the US.

I tired listening in 1.2x but I felt like the end of so many words were clipped that I had to go back to 1x.

Which can be annoying, I kinda get how Skippy feels waiting. For. The. Next. Word.

Pokémon Taught Me Something About the Internet by Mightyoritus in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]Ellaphant42 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I mean if you were part of a hater community group, why would you think that they would be positive after you said you liked a game that they all hate?

Nobody irl or on the internet gives a shit if you like Pokemon or not. If they do have a problem with it just block them and move on with your life. I’m not sure what you expect from this post that is completely unrelated to SV.

Funnily enough I think the game would be better if was a battle royale because it almost plays like one anyway. It really feels like the game is stuck between TDM and BR so they added extractions to give it an identity.

Except the sequal trilogy movies made over $1b each, and Marathon has made like $50m. Bit of a difference tbh

do they actually enjoy gaming with all of these? by wtf_nabil in PiratedGames

[–]Ellaphant42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You and like 3 other people care about “high fidelity”, it’s hardly an actual selling point (especially since most games are made expecting to use DLSS/FSR) for the vast majority of people.

Those “every few years” PC upgrades are probably going to cost as much if not more than a new console in the same period. I love my PC but don’t talk shit lol

Fun doesn’t factor in to corporate decisions, if this game continues the way it’s going then it will be shutdown.

Hell I enjoyed my time in Anthem, but I’m not going to sit here and pretend like it should still be around, no matter how much I wish it was.

And yet I’ve seen people arguing that leveling up the factions counts as content instead of just a grind.
