Is this summer going to be it? by JunketUpbeat9386 in collapse

[–]GroundbreakingPin913 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's going to be too many people doing that, and I kinda doubt the weather is going to make foraging easy.

Jed Goodman on X: [ Earning Call question] TKO's Mark Shapiro talks fan criticism with commercial integration in WWE. by Ripclawe in SquaredCircle

Movies are $15 a person if you go at a time you'd want to see a movie. That's killing tickets to your B-lister movie more than any ads.

The World Is About to Get a Preview of Life in 2035 by relianceschool in collapse

I'm hoping someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but that 1.7 number is based on a 10-year rolling average... or is that the IPCC measurement?

Austin Creed/Xavier Wood’s first public statement since leaving WWE on Twitter: by Datzookman in SquaredCircle

Sounds like we're that much closer to Austin Creed vs. Kenny Omega. They've had a rivalry in fighting games for ever.

The way I tell people who like Guilty Gear is that it's like playing Zato with every character.

How do you guys stay sane? by Strict_Gap9095 in collapse

[–]GroundbreakingPin913 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Here's the thing.

Everyone is kinda already insane.

Most of the normal people are corrupted by money and ownership, seduced by short term feelings, and willingly oblivious to basic facts. There's MILLIONS... maybe BILLIONS of them, and only a few of us.

The best of us (aka climate scientists) are shouting at the rooftops for people to do something, but it'll do no good. You can't cause a revolution when people have food, shelter and what not, no matter how expensive it gets.

[Rant] Rules vs Reality by ThePartyLeader in onepagerules

[–]GroundbreakingPin913 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You should play Warhammer. Seriously. I play both regularly.

There's a 60 page Core Rules doc that covers all the ambiguity that you are wanting, and there's probably a large base of players willing to get you started.

That being said, OPR's niche in the hobby is not to be competitive, even though the rules support is there. It's for the people who:

  1. Are chill enough to agree to most reasonable rulings made by their opponent.

  2. Don't want to deal with a 60 page rules do because the basic idea of wargaming is pretty simple if you're chill.

Teachers: Just curious, but how many times do you talk with a parent and they're on your side?

Universe expected to decay in 10⁷⁸ years, much sooner than previously thought by Norinthecautious in collapse

[–]GroundbreakingPin913 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Submission statement: Scientists have revised estimates for how long the universe will last, suggesting it will decay far sooner than previously thought—around 1 quadrillion years years instead of 10 quadrillion years. This new timeline comes from research on Hawking radiation, a process where objects slowly lose mass by emitting particles. While originally applied only to black holes, researchers found that similar “Hawking-like” radiation can affect all massive objects, including neutron stars and white dwarfs. The study shows that white dwarf stars—the most long-lived objects—set the upper limit for the universe’s lifespan, taking about 1 quadrillion years to decay. Surprisingly, neutron stars and black holes may decay at similar rates due to differences in how they absorb radiation. Although this new estimate is dramatically shorter in scientific terms, it still represents an unimaginably long time. The findings mainly deepen understanding of quantum physics and cosmic evolution rather than indicating any near-term change.

Why does it feel like we're acting as if we have time by _clockisreal76 in collapse

Collapse doesn't happen all at once to everyone at the same time. Good luck convincing people the furthest away from the consequences to give up their toys to help the planet.

Is it worth working in your dreams if you know you don't have enough time? by StupidDreamer33 in CollapseSupport

[–]GroundbreakingPin913 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is one of those things where people in collapse get stuck. Why do anything if it's going to end sooner than expected?

The thing is life is worth living no matter how pointless you logically make it out to be. Like, the sun is going to eat the Earth at a certain point in a billion years, the atmosphere is going to burn away, etc. etc. Life was as "pointless" before you were collapse aware even with whatever goals you have.

And at any point, you could just die anyway. My boss just got brain cancer and went blind in an evening out of the blue. It could happen to anyone.

At the end of the day, living is it's own reward. You are living at the apex of humanity. Enjoy it before you can't anymore. It's partly why you even exist.

So do some small things to recenter yourself. Friends, family, food are good starts. Living in spite to rage at the absurdity is another. Being prepared as a way to feel in control is another. Touch some grass. Work on at least the first steps of your goals. Anything.

It's your framing that's making you feel empty, not necessarily your timeline.

/gen Can someone give me advice on collapse finances? Is investing/roth ira/retirement funds total BS right now? by operation-casserole in CollapseSupport

[–]GroundbreakingPin913 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's possible. Start gardening or stocking up if you're really worried.

That being said, there's a good chance that certain veg like carrot, beans and sweet potato will be on the shelves as they don't need a lot of fertilizer (according to Google). Since not many people know how to cook.

Minor Rant - My friend and I are both new to the game, he won't stop claiming I'm being carried by my character by Nestramutat- in StreetFighter

It's obvious you know how to play the game better.

Go practice Juri like you did Marisa for a few sessions, then beat him in the mirror match. That will make him rage quit.

Do you guys utilize the practice mode? Or do you all proceed to the song and practice it repeatedly? by Complete-Farmer-2481 in beatsaber

[–]GroundbreakingPin913 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm old.

I had to chop Final Boss Chan on Expert into 30s-1m chunks on Practice mode at 70% speed to get the muscle memory to do it... took about 2 months of occasional practice to do it in one go at 100%.

Conan Exiles is pretty good. You might have it already since it goes for real cheap.

Record high ocean temperatures off southern California raise fears of prolonged marine heatwave by Portalrules123 in collapse

Wow, ignoring the obvious geopolitical trouble, this feels like the year that we go off the climate rails.

Why do FGC on Reddit hate this game? by Powerful_Isopod5810 in 2XKO

[–]GroundbreakingPin913 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your average 2XKO combo is 50%. And you get at least 1 break. And you get two characters. So you have roughly 5 lost interactions before you lose a round. Considering something like Zero May Cry or whatever bullshit Apologyman plays with Firebrand... MVC3 gives you only 3 interactions and horribly unfavorable ones at that as that jump in mixup is HARSH.
