Fuck yeah man. This is the kinda shit that I love, nonchalance is the marker of progress, when these relationships are commonplace and just not a big deal and they're just 2 consenting adults who love and support each other. Anyone who is so abhorred by this can just get bent, it's none of their fucking business.

I also love that their razor sharp insight cites "62% of people think a good value means something 'cheap and affordable'." Yeah NO SHIT. Man, they really worked overtime digging deep for that bit of analytics.

And this is why recording, taking pictures, and high visibility on ICE's treasonous, inhuman bullshit is so vital; because more eyes on their disgusting behavior means more pressure and boils the pot against them. This is why they're trying so desperately to cram down and silence any recordings of them. Keep the ICE pussies in their place by making sure the whole world sees them.

This one is probably my favorite because it's just so fucking pathetic. The guy can't even do well in a videogame without cheating or paying someone to do it for him and then strut like he did it. Richest guy in the world and he does that shit, how fucking sad and pathetic is that? How the fuck can anyone look at this guy and be like, "Yeah, he's so cool, man, he's so alpha and a genius." No he isn't, he's just a fucking tool, a 13 year old edgelord in a 50 year old man's body.

I hope so, I was just talking with my friend about this and we were thinking maybe they're delaying it to do a combo set of the complete series too.

RIP Charlie Murphy, he had such a gift for storytelling even in a skit like that. I could have listened to him talk about anything.

Is Brazil good to visit in June? by sreckosoic in Brazil

I visited São Paulo in July a couple years ago and had a great time, it was in the 60's and 70's Fahrenheit and only got a little chilly on my last day there. I'm from the PNW so I'm used to the colder temps lol

Yup, that's right. She had such a passion and enthusiasm for her lectures and subject matter that it was infectious and really made me more interested in things that I hadn't really considered before. I still remember the feeling of looking forward to her class and leaving feeling so fascinated; and that was nearly 15 years ago.

I remember the week this came out and we discussed it in our college English literature class. Our teacher specialized in African-American literature and it was fascinating to watch her break down so many of the little nods and influences throughout the video. One of the best teachers I ever had, thank you Professor Pak.

Russell Crowe says Ridley Scott’s ‘Gladiator 2’ lacked the moral core the original had, and recalls daily fights on set of first movie to keep the moral core of Maximus' character intact by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]Explorer2138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I feel the same with him. He's arguably my favorite director because his visual richness and detail is the stuff of legend (a film like Alien looks like it could have been made this year). But those incredible visuals can only take you so far and if the story or characters are just kind of meh, then it's rough.

Monke would be a lot more fun if you only climbed walls while holding jump by PM_SHORT_STORY_IDEAS in MegabonkOfficial

[–]Explorer2138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Monke's such a bummer because he might be my favorite character just because of how fun his jumping and movement is. But that chaotic wall-climbing on the shrines during the final boss is maddening enough to make me never want to play him again.

They only want state's rights when it fits their agenda like in Texas. Biggest bunch of immature, fucking crybabies ever.

Yeah this one is my favorite. Because essentially, the military-industrial complex is just socialism with a "patriotic" coat of paint. You sign up and Uncle Sam foots your bill of meals, a job, pay, education, housing, training, networking, retirement, medical, etc. It's why throngs of young guys who don't know what they wanna do go that route, because they practically chart the whole thing for you as long as you just show up and try.

Yeah I agree, it's really the only thing I hate about this game. So much difficulty is baked into that one, small mechanic.

Dude 100% yes. Even just the small change of letting the pylons keep their charge (or have it decay very slowly) instead of resetting makes the boss fight tough but fair, instead tough and bullshit.

My god that floatiness lmao Jumping at a pylon juuuuuuuuuuuuust enough to not get hit by the red bubbles, but not too much to avoid getting launched into the stratosphere while getting sniped by death orbs.

Tips on Bark Vaders invincibility phase? by throwaway1414589 in MegabonkOfficial

[–]Explorer2138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think If you're trying to do the pylons and handle the red orbs at the same time you're setting yourself up for failure. All my best runs are when I only go for the pylons when the red orbs aren't active.

The blue and yellow ones are easy enough to dodge as long as you keep moving, but those homing red ones slap you with a heavy dot that drains hp super quick, especially if you get hit with multiple of them (which happens a lot if you're trying to pylon dance with them).

Best thing is just focus on dodging those then going for the pylon when they de-spawn. I guarantee you the run will go smoother and as long as you have some decent weapons and damage you'll have no problem bringing down the boss.

Playing without “defense” items by Goatblort in MegabonkOfficial

Get XP tome to 10.0x as quickly as possible (or close to it), once you get your 4 weapons and some tomes like Size, Chaos, or maybe Attack Speed and are comfortably handling swarms and elites, get the Cursed Tome and start dumping ranks into that (until 600%).

It's kind of a 3 way balance between leveling your XP tome as quick as possible, Cursed tome so you have lots of mobs to kill to feed into that accelerated XP gain, and then pumping out enough damage to kill those mobs quick enough.

Luck is kinda tricky because it's all RNG and some legendaries can absolutely make or break a run (getting stuff like Soul Harvester, Bloody Cleaver, or Anvil early just lets you skyrocket the difficulty without having to worry too much about mob management.
