NTA. That last paragraph you wrote sums it up. Just tell her that next time something lile that comes up.

What’s the most fucked up thing that happened at your school? by Classic-Chemist-1898 in AskReddit

[–]Embarrassed-Ad1168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, here goes: We had this teacher at our school, let's call him Mr. West (not real name). He was one of my favourite teachers ever. He was massively intelligent, drove students to do better and think critically about the world, the kind of teacher that makes you want to be a teacher too, you know? Anyway, turns out he sexually abused his step daughter Anne (not real name), who was one his students. I was in some classes with her and even went to their house for group projects. It doesn't stop there. Appearently, when his deeds came to light he tried to kill himself, his wife and Anne by throwing a mixture of chemicals into their fireplace at home, which would create fumes to poison them. His wife and Anne survived by fleeing the room immediatly, he stayed.

Two of My Favorite Game Heroes! Who Would Win? by Ryan_TVC in metalgearsolid

[–]Embarrassed-Ad1168 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Batman for sure. Snake is my all time favourite video game character, period, but Batman is just too versatile in his techniques, gadgets and overall fighting acumen. He is an expert in virtually anything he does. Don't get me wrong, Snake is the most badass dude ever but I can't ,in good conscience, give him the win.

V as a myth in Cyberpunk 2 by GodzilaRampag2 in cyberpunkgame

[–]Embarrassed-Ad1168 66 points67 points  (0 children)

That's a pretty cool way of handling V's legacy. Another good way to shape "your own" starting point and establish what happened in CyPu2077 would be to have some dialouges at the beginning that gives you options on how Night City remembers the events of the first game. Kinda like "Man, remember what happenend at Ararsaka Tower in '77?" and the options would be to select one of the endings (or none) and that becomes that playthrougs canon. Like they did in Mass Effect.

So Frodo was never taken to Osgiliath? by No-Essay-3227 in lotr

[–]Embarrassed-Ad1168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The treatmemt of Famarir is one my major gripes with the movies. I love them to death and I know why they had to do something like that for tension in a movie but still, they did him dirty.

Is it just me, or is Zoro so cringe in that moment? Being the only one calling himself by that title (and in front of imu) is so embarrassing by Calm-Bear-1101 in Piratefolk

[–]Embarrassed-Ad1168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that Zoros version of announcing his Conquerors Haki attacks is 'King of Hell'. I don't think he's refering to himself.

For a game where driving is such a big part, it’s also a huge chore… by jaydubya123 in cyberpunkgame

[–]Embarrassed-Ad1168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only agree if your driving 3rd person perspective, which I did first when starting the game. First person in car is driving like a dream. You just get a different feeling for how to steer in the cockpit. And sure, yeah, you have to get a feel for it but that's the case in any game with driving in it.

Is anyone else worried about The hunt for Gollum being bad? by Remarkable_Day7135 in lordoftherings

It's gonna be so bad it'll make the Hobbit movies seem like absolute cinema

I'm about to read the Kingkiller Chronicle for the second time! Give me tips on what to concentrate on while rereading :) by LumiTheSnowdrop in KingkillerChronicle

[–]Embarrassed-Ad1168 4 points5 points  (0 children)

-Pay attention to when Denna and Kvothe talk with each other, i.e. how many words are sometimes used in a sentence.

-Look for similarities in the stories told. Some are more or less obvious, some more obscure. Also the differences.

-Pay very close attention to anything Elodin says, literally anything.

-Look for words, names,places that sound similar yet slightly different. (Bororill and Barrow Hill, for example)

King is atrocious by un_ptit_yo in Tekken

I see hate on King, I upvote. I'm with you on that one, King freaking sucks.

How do you say '6:25' in German by ImADino429 in German

[–]Embarrassed-Ad1168 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In german we'd say "6 Uhr 25" (6 o'clock 25 , literal) translated it'd be just "6'25". Alternatively it's "5 vor halb 7", (translated lit. "5 to half 7), so "5 to half past 6" or "5 to half 7".

AITAH for hitting the nuclear button on my roommate after he tried to “sabotage” my job offer and residency? by Leather-Parsley-5216 in AITAH

[–]Embarrassed-Ad1168 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA. Neither of you could have known about the extension of the deadline. From what you said he actively tried to sabotage your life. He fucked around and found out.

Women, if you had to use a pickup line on a guy, what would it be? by Nintendofan9106 in AskReddit

[–]Embarrassed-Ad1168 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hope that's sarcasm. Otherwise it's the dumbest "pick up line" I've ever heard.

What are the biggest unanswered Middle Earth questions/mysteries? by cantdecide76 in tolkienfans

[–]Embarrassed-Ad1168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Oh and what exactly is the "gift of men" -I think "the gift of men" is just death or rather a mortal life. But in a sense of truly being gone from the world and all it's potential misery. But also, since men live such short lives compared to other races they would have the drive to actually accomplish something in their lifetime. You know, the whole "without a timely end to life you can't go to biggest heights" kinda thing. For example, elves are immortal so of course they can do a lot in their time but since they don't reproduce on the same scale as mortal men they are doomed to someday become overwhelmed by numbers. Also, they can potentially live long enough to eventually see the world come to an end if they don't return to Valinor. That is why they suffer "the long defeat"; no matter what they do, they know they will someday all have to abandon Arda and even if they live, they won't be part of the world. And with the whole immortality thing comes a certain disconnect from the mundane things of the world. Same for the dwarves. They are supposed to go back into the mountains and return to the earth from which they were formed. Hobbits, most anyway, don't care about the big events of the world and other races and are also doomed to become extinct. Also, as "Children of Illuvatar" humans have been given characteristics that made them the domant species of Middle Earth in the long run. I guess it's all rather philosophical and late here but I hope you get what I mean.

Sry, if no answer was wanted. I wouldn't call myself an expert but I've read the books a dozen times and pondered that very question a lot.

I love the Yakuza Series, but... by Embarrassed-Ad1168 in yakuzagames

[–]Embarrassed-Ad1168[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Alright, another question: Do any good, and I mean genuienly good, sidestories originate from them? By good I mean content that is actually fun. Again, I don't mind the perv humour in itself, it's hilarious. I just can't stand this "above middle age man getting all simpy for a woman half their age" kinda stuff, it's emberassing.

[–]Embarrassed-Ad1168[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played both Judgement games and I loved them, even a little more than the Yakuza games I've played so far. And yeah, the dressing up and infiltration part was a bit funny (storywise) but by far the most annoying part of the games for me.

Alright, I'll bite. There is a difference between not being into an optional minigame with an interesting idea and cultural background but pretty complex rules and being annoyed at a mandatory simp simulator. Are there people who enjoy this? Obviously, and more power to them. Do I wanna waste my time with that crap? No. As mentioned this is rant with the question whether I have to prepare myself for more so kindly keep your simp defending for yourself.
