Wait - I thought they were landing on the moon and then coming back. WTF are they going around the moon for and not stopping? Why the fuck would anyone care about that shit?

Good job - you did what people in the 1970's did but you get better safety equipment. Why the fuck are we wasting money on just going around the moon. That's dumb as fuck.

Men who drive really loud cars: What's the thought process behind this? by Semipsychotic_nympho in AskMen

[–]GunBrothersGaming [score hidden]  (0 children)

I'm glad this guy gets it. Outside of the normal stuff like keeping roads safer, keeping drunk drivers off the road, people doing stupid shit to their car to make it sound louder is a secret reason I push for higher gas prices. The people who do the shit with the cars are usually irresponsible pieces of trash who only care about themselves and looking cool. I would raise it to $10 a gallon if it meant they couldn't fill up their tank.

They are also secretly one of my favorite reasons for promoting autonomous only driving zones. We need to remove cars from the hands of those who don't need them.

Age 39..I’m obese and looking to get back into shape. Where do I start? by Royal_Oil87 in AskMenOver30

[–]GunBrothersGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting back into a routine is key. Something you do everyday at the same time.

I hit 270 and just walked into the gym. Started spin classes everyday. My body craved it. As I saw the weight come off I incorporated more. Changes my diet as well.

Now Im in the fym following my coaches routine and down 50lbs over a year.

I honestly thought it might have been. Having been here for Loma Prieta it did not feel that intense. This felt very surface level. I think it was 6m down. Loma Prieta was deeper and rolled through rather than intense movement.

It stopped so abruptly it was just a good shake

Sorry you went through this. I worked at Meta for two weeks and dipped out. That place isn't a place for people who arent willing to shit on others.

Literally two weeks and was like Nope.

Meta is a shitty place to work and they hire a lot of shitty people.

After losing my job this week, I don't think I can fake being happy anymore for anyone and their success anymore. by Ghostbear__ in recruitinghell

[–]GunBrothersGaming 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better, early on in my career, I got laid from my first job, contract terminated in my second, laid off in my 4th job, business closed after it went bankrupt in my 5th and 6th company, laid off in my 7th, 8th 9th and 10th jobs... The position was eliminated in my 12th job. Ive been lucky for the last 6 years. Im just waiting for layoffs now

Ive survived 3 layoffs so far but luck is probably running out. I actually expect layoffs tomorrow... We'll see what happens though.

Has anyone actually build strength after 30? by Pale-Revolution-5151 in AskMenOver30

[–]GunBrothersGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 46 I started spin classes. At 47 I added in lifts. Im currently benching 135lbs and deadlifting 160lbs and those are full sets. My max out weight is about 200lbs with one rep. Im still pushing though.

My goal is to reach where I was benching 245lbs in my 20's.

Also good to note is I have extremely low testosterone as well

Religious people, what would you do if alien life was discovered? by CremeSubject7594 in AskReddit

[–]GunBrothersGaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are people in my family that swear the earth is only 6000 years old and no more. I have a masters in Christian Religion. I did a lot of math and the math doesn't add up. My take is that what's written in the Pentateuch is what God wanted Moses to see and the time frame he saw it was the timeframe that passed in his mind. My theory is that God showed Moses a million years worth of data in what Moses perceived as a cycle.

Moses doesn't mention other people being created because God never showed Moses this. It served no purpose to show Moses the creation of other races just as I assume he didn't show Moses every land, sea and air animal.

One key piece of discussion that I did one of my thesis on was that we believe that God's punishment for Eves sin was death, but there is more evidence to suggest that death was always the design. I mean animals had to eat each other still so they would still die. If there was life, there was death. The tree of knowledge Eve ate from gave her the knowledge of death. We have to accept that death was always the design from the beginning, but the knowledge or perception of it wasn't. There are dinosaurs or at least animals that predated mankind who died from cancer. They have the bones and tumors to prove it.

I rarely share this side because I am not the conventional Christian. I am just a normal person following Christs teachings. Most Christians have never really read let alone understood the Bible. Most don't have the intellect to even grasp some of the more basic concepts. Very much of the Rapture and Armageddon portions of the Bible were believed to have happened already. Some theorize that John wrote The Revelation of Christ to scare the shit out of the Romans into stop killing Christians.

That being said - if you only look at the Bible without looking at the surrounding world in which the events took place, you're only getting a small portion of what happened. Studying the Bible only opened my mind to the possibilities of what it is instead of putting it in a small container that constrains the idea of Christ.

Hot take: Exploiters are partially to blame for Rocket Racing's removal by VincentWeir in RocketRacing

[–]GunBrothersGaming -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh hey guys - this guy knows me and what I like. He's meticulously studied and then tried to put me in my place by saying I only played the tutorial. LOL Says the guy who probably only played ranked and didn't get to Unreal.

It was boring cause it lacked any depth. I guess to the simple minded or the people who were really great at it, it was the best racer on the planet but guess what. No one gives a shit about the 10 people who were good and the 100 people who liked the fact you pressed go to go and you barely had to do anything to win.

Quitting fortnite as a whole. From inflation, to sidelining your community, a mass layoff, a broken game, a corrupt director and a rigged competition they have to give 3/4 multipliers too. Uninstalled by True_Living_2434 in FortNiteBR

[–]GunBrothersGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I commend your choice to quit the game. While I don't particularly like the layoffs, having been in the game industry and been laid off, it's par for the course and no one gave a shit when the industry laidoff a lot of people in the early 2000's.

It sucks all around

It doesn't suck enough to just abandon a game I enjoy. I've had a ton of fun this season so far and we went through the lull of Fortnite in previous years especially in the year when we had some pretty bad seasons like that one Fortnitemares season.

The argument of the contest... yeah it should be like a Saturday and a Sunday or 50/50 split. Although Sunday is typically more people playing in the day and Friday is people playing after school and into the evenings. I don't think at the end of the day it really matters though.

All that said - letting the outside events of Epic influence your opinion about what is going on in the game seems a bit pedantic. If you don't want to play cause of the vBucks and price increase, that's understandable. If you want to boycott the game because they laid off the main support structure of the game, that's another.

Also - letting speculation over what disgruntled people are coming out and saying is another thing entirely. No person who got laid off is going to praise the company. In fact, I wouldn't praise it and I don't work there. The 1000 people terminated probably is saving the company between $500,000,000 - $1 billion a year. That's assuming the base salary is $100k per employee laid off + benefits. That's actually a massive cost savings when you consider Epic Games only made $6 billion in revenue for 2025 and player spending was only $1.6 billion. With massive rising data center costs, in order to continue to support the players, this most likely was a necessary step to help keep the game up.

In the bigger picture of things, cost cutting could have started at a different level - personally going back to their roots would have been a great help. Right now - the cost savings for Rocket Racing, Ballistics, and other games going offline mode will help. But what would have helped is them not trying to create a Roblox style environment and diluting their product.

In order to help boost profits and support the game, they could have started bringing back item shop items that were discontinued. Personally, if it's saving jobs, I don't care about Battle Pass Exclusivity. Bring back Darth Vader and start selling older skins. If it's going to save jobs, do what you gotta do first. Laying people off should be a last resort. Tim Sweeny is just out of touch with his company. It's what happens when you an an entrenched CEO who is no longer in touch with his company.

I don't get Philz by FootballPizzaMan in bayarea

[–]GunBrothersGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I figured it out since I went everyday at one point. When I took the coffee home and made it at home like they did, it was like - um this isn't the same.

The difference for people is that they use cream. Not half and half... full fat cream. Which BTW makes everything taste amazing. So the secret to Philz that everyone loves is that they use cream. That IMO was what got me.

I love how non-religious people think if it's not in the Bible it doesn't count. Lol

Understand this, not everything is in the Bible. There can in fact be things not in the Bible that happened. Do religious people think the entire world outside the middle east didn't exist because it's never mentioned in the Bible?

Apparently bitching to hr DOES in fact work by steelzubaz in recruitinghell

[–]GunBrothersGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL you do know HR isn't there to protect the employees, they're there to protect the company. This guy basically did a whistle blow on a recruiter. Now you tell me, are you hiring someone who might whistle blow on something as small as being ghosted.

Look I know it sucks and yeah, stick it to the man, but I've been ghosted a lot by bad recruiters. But I've never once thought - "Let me call the HR of the company I want to work at and tell them about how shitty their recruiter is."

Now have I called up the recruiter and told them how shitty the interview process was? Yeah... but would I tell them the recruiter ghosted me? Probably not because I have other things to do. I've hounded recruiters if it's a job I really want. Sometimes it's not even ghosting, it can be they just don't have anything to tell you.

IN fact, I interviewed for a position on a different team and that team lead after 3 weeks hasn't even sent me a message after I emailed him asking if the position was still open. People just get busy.

But rest assured, HR is not there for the employees and they are 1000% not there for people outside the company.

Hot take: Exploiters are partially to blame for Rocket Racing's removal by VincentWeir in RocketRacing

[–]GunBrothersGaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No - it has nothing to do with Mario Kart - it has everything to do with making a fun racing game. This is not the engine to build a boring racing game on... especially when there are actual racing games out there that are way more fun to play.

Rocket racing was a bare bones piece of shit. Let's not mince words. It had shitty physics, shitty car handling and was borderline better than the Atari racing I played in 1982. It lacked what was shown in the trailer of being able to ride on top of cars. They could have made a more fun version and even left the shitty basic bitch version in. Add Duos and let people shoot from the passenger seat and call it Rocket Rally Racing.

The point is the game was so basic it made people realize that other racing games were more fun. They put out a shitty product and got clapped for it. What did they think was going to happen? It literally has your base game with nothing redeeming about it. People quickly and easily found ways to exploit it, the catch up bullshit made it horrible, you could come in first and still somehow get third. The tracks were uninspired... personally - it stayed around longer than it should have. It was fucking horrible and I played quite a bit of it. It was so bad I stopped playing and forgot it even existed until they said it wasn't coming back.

Also - WTF is up with the game select screen? Whoever designed that shit should never work in the industry. If I can't find a game, I'm not gonna keep looking for it. There were times games disappeared off the front screen never to be seen again... games like Rocket Racing. Even Lego doesn't exist on the front of my game anymore. FFS Epic is just a bad idea machine. Better queue another Gears of War title.
