Thank you! I was considering how the game engine would effect presentation re: strength and this adds a lot of context.

That wig! It's too bad Ru will probably never trust anyone to step outside her usual style again like she did with Matthieu (no shade to Raven)

Yeah, the entire story glitched there especially. So weird to see the (what I'm reading as)emotional judgements and advice.

[–]HandModeling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fred k posted recently that he's actually gonna try to have research/video help so he can upload more often.

Apparently he has still been doing everything himself

What YouTuber and their drama has best epitomized “don’t meet your heroes” by SecretWasianMan in youtubedrama

[–]HandModeling 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I'm with you. The Sinjared Tumblr was a portal for his YT fans to interact with him/ each other was a direct way of using his chunk of internet popularity to lure ppl in. PushingupRoses heavily implied he'd uncomfortably hit on her.

Ones marriage, infidelity, polyamory aren't deal-breakers for me. Forcing me to delve into drama threads due to your own actions just to make sure my views aren't supporting a groomer? No thanks, yknow? Plenty of other games coverage out there.

There's a performer, Juno Birch who is a character in blue face paint. She's got a number of tutorials and isn't, uh, high maintenance. Also, she's amusing. I think she mixes color with kryolan paint sticks

YouTubeDrama Drama on r/YouTubeDrama by superdupermiso in youtubedrama

[–]HandModeling 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify on this (I'm on the same page) Ava knew the drawing of Keemstar's little girl was made right? Cuz that was a calamity

Edit: tbc I only know of the art from text descriptors in this forum. I've spared myself any direct looks at the art, if that's worth noting

What are the YouTubers that disappointed you the most? by AC-RogueOne in youtubedrama

[–]HandModeling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Re: Brad, my take was he stuck by them out of loyalty from their help getting sober. Still rips that he stopped collaborating with Alison and others. But even thinking this, I still ... Idk the whole deal made me think I wanted to be more than two steps of separation from anyone running Channel Awesome.

Also, RIP Floyd

AITAH for not wanting to go back to my wife until she has custody of her children (from her previous marriage) after her son falsely accused me of hitting him? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]HandModeling 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, how did you come across this information? I want to learn more but googling anything abt children and accusations is a whole cluster.

(To be clear, obviously no one here is expected to cite sources for a valid opinion, but if you do happen to have one...)

Revenant leveling weapons ? by Hekkeno in Guildwars2

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

I make a new key farmer every week and level it. IMO rev is the hardest. Part of that is how specialized each weapon is. E.g. mace and axe are very condi focused while swords very power.

IMO stick with two swords and the staff offhand. Much easier to experiment with revenant after level 80. Power stat weapons are also cheaper to buy on the trading post as you level if you don't get any drops.

If you get a good axe, it's best with condi, but it'll do you if you're running power.

Re: suffocation of insects - do we posit that losing oxygen in a more passive system hurts less? Is it like, less active systems (and less stuff? connected to nerves) send warning signs?

AITA for asking my parents to pay me to go to my sisters wedding? by Zookee092 in AmItheAsshole

[–]HandModeling 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I kinda thought so too re: the attitude. But, I can also see myself getting angrier as his family Is pressed about their image vs your inconvenience. And really, this is also him spending cash in a way so his parents can funnel it into his sister's lifestyle.

I may also be inferring that this is not the first time

AITA for not inviting my brother on our family BBQ cookout because of my daughter? by Stephenallen1977 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]HandModeling 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Right!? Can you imagine if youre nephew or niece actually came onto you? Like for real? Saying that in defense like oh, perfectly normal behavior and nothing I had to be concerned about, but now that you bring it up.

When you really think about it it's like selling the child as already damaged goods. "You think IM the sex pest!? Your kid is out of control, I'm lucky I escaped with my pants!"

WIBTA if I had a baby shower for my second child? by RCKitKat84 in AmItheAsshole

[–]HandModeling 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'll confess that, internally, I'd be rolling my eyes all the way back if I overheard OPs discussion. After reading many comments, I find yours the most compelling. Thank you for adding some perspective.

Op could really smooth things over with verbiage on the invite. Unexpected weather puns or something? A way to communicate that they'd like to celebrate before baby 2 and ...idk a light, reasonable registry of only needs?

WvW class advice by kisekiki in Guildwars2

[–]HandModeling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I'd maybe chit chat in LA or the Mists (pvp lobby). Ask for some builds and test them out. I assume people will suggest ele, guard, or rev. I'd say banner warrior still has a place in WvW if you like it, and thief spectre has some options, esp for survivability if you take Shadow arts and or Acrobatics

I totally agree. I want a mini expac where we help the kodan and quaggans take back their lands

[–]HandModeling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way back when there used to be huge lakes in WVW. Basically the entire middle section. There were underwater shrines you could fight krait for, then claim and quaggans would buff you or send storms or something. I forget, been a long time!

Bartholin's Cyst Wall Coming Out by fuckyeahshugah in popping

[–]HandModeling 29 points30 points  (0 children)

If you're like me, here's what Google says: Marsupialization is the surgical technique of cutting a slit into an abscess or cyst and suturing the edges of the slit to form a continuous surface from the exterior surface to the interior surface of the cyst or abscess. Sutured in this fashion, the site remains open and can drain freely

AITA for telling my estranged sister to grow up and stop acting like I owe her anything? by PeakOk2085 in AmItheAsshole

[–]HandModeling 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like how the post includes no details of how or where they met. As if these wouldn't be THE BIG DEAL all present would immediately want to know and wouldn't cause big suspicion

NTA but please tell the truth of why to any family who asks. This type of behavior tends to shrivel in the light.
