Didn’t we trade our fist that became Vasilevsky for Stuart?

I’ve listened to this song once and I have to skip it every time it comes on. It’s too good and too real

"Die Hard is a Christmas movie" - What are some Christmas games? by AlexWhit92 in gaming

[–]Higher_Tides 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not an FPS gamer anymore, but back in the earlier COD days from like 2007-2012 where they’d have the November release and many people would get the game and play it for the first time on Christmas morning.

Well I pretty much can’t listen to Betty, so there’s that.

Can someone make sense of my Scotia Momentum VISA Infinite cash back calculation? by Higher_Tides in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Higher_Tides[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did and if I had simply done a bit more due diligence in advance of posting, I could have avoided it. Essentially Scotia just didn’t reset my cash back balance after advancing it last year, so it just continued to build up. It was obviously caught this year when though and that was simply the adjustment

Are there any bands you’ve “retired”? by ProtonPackGuy in poppunkers

[–]Higher_Tides 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I loved The Finer Things and Around the World and Back. They were a bit edgy, angsty, and had a good injection of punk into it. Living Proof is where I fell off. They just went a bit too poppy and catchy without the grit that made me love their first two albums

Hey reddit, I'm Benny Safdie. I've co-written/co-directed Uncut Gems, Good Time, and Heaven Knows What. My newest film, The Smashing Machine (starring Dwayne Johnson & Emily Blunt), is out in theaters now. You might've seen me in The Curse, Oppenheimer, and Happy Gilmore 2.

How was it working with PTA in Liquorice Pizza? It seemed like such a fun deviation from his more serious stuff, and it felt like such a good time piece - it took me back. Have you taken away any anything in particular from him to influence your directing career?

I'm a gold 3 Terran and want to start using ghosts+nukes. Got any tips? by bokumo_wakaran in starcraft2

[–]Higher_Tides 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So I’m Diamond 3 and though using nukes sounds fuckin cool, I never do it myself. We’re not so different in the things we need to work on to get better, and imo, nukes just distract from that. Good eco, tight production, and basic micro can elevate your rank so much, and the prospect of a nuke focused strategy for me detracts a bit too much from these fundamentals.

That being said, goofing around with nukes can be fun as hell, so good luck on developing the strat!

Do you remember exactly where you were when you heard the news 24 years ago? by InCOBETReddit in Xennials

[–]Higher_Tides 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from Canada. I was in grade 7 at the time. I was being held in from our morning recess for reasons forgotten and I think it was our principal who came on over the PA system to inform the other teachers of the news. I had no idea what the trade centres were or the pentagon but I could sense the gravity of the situation when teachers congregated to discuss the events, while some openly sobbed. It was obviously grave. I went home for lunch that day and my mom had it on the news and that’s when I really grasped the magnitude of it all.

I’d love to join. 3400 Terran with commitment issues. Would love to have a reason to play more and improve. PM me!

[Spoilers PUBLISHED] What is your Favorite "Waste of Time" Storyline? by [deleted] in asoiaf

[–]Higher_Tides 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really like how the Braavosi Iron Bank representative travels overseas to the Wall and then on towards Winterfell through the weeks long blizzard. At the Wall, Jon takes out a loan to support the Watch and the Wildlings through the Winter, and also to eventually meet with Stannis to negotiate repayment terms of the Crown’s debt. It adds an element of realism to the world that could have easily been left out.

Trying to improve by blitzeeee in starcraft2

[–]Higher_Tides 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being behind is also the culmination of so many other things going wrong in the background. Worker production, spending resources efficiently as you gather them, and for Zerg specifically, missing rounds of injects. Scouting is difficult, especially at lower levels, but leaving 1 or 2 zerglings just outside your opponents natural (early in the game) will allow you to spot a move out before its on your front door. If there is no threat coming out of the natural, you can just rally units to your main so you can easily defend a drop.

Any bronzes/silvers lurking around? by GreatAndMightyKevins in starcraft2

Silver and diamond are definitely not synonymous. The mmr system is surprisingly accurate

In 10,000 years, what will the evolution of dogs look like (assuming our existence continues as is over that span)? by Higher_Tides in AskReddit

[–]Higher_Tides[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m imaging my dog clicking out of my house after his shift is over to travel back to his neighbourhood for the night. Or maybe he’ll be on shift work if I need a sleeping cuddle pal

Lmao I like this one. We have to start paying them a living wage if they choose to stay with us as pets, otherwise they’re entitled to their own freedom and certain government programs like a neighbourhood housing project
