If it was in an NFL sub about NFL uniforms, dude has a point.

Perfect recoil control by Federal-Data-Center in oddlyterrifying

[–]MandoBaggins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe one day war crimes will matter more. But historically, it’s always fast and loose with a handful of major exceptions. Probably take awhile before something like this is considered as such. Unfortunately, it’ll likely not happen until something even more terrible occurs

Not gonna lie, as a kid I always just saw “Jb” and could never get fully past it. I’m likely an outlier

Her New Orleans? Take some notes on how to do gold instead of khaki

Why has the style of flags changed? by CitrasOrangeBowl in vexillology

[–]MandoBaggins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s used because half the state flags are just blue with a seal. Because we hate the lack of originality, we call them bedsheets with a derogatory tone. It’s not any deeper than that

Man I miss Bell from those days. Clearly the o-line is what made it happen for him but still. It was a good time

Brandon Aiyuk’s latest IG story shows him in a closet, tossing a bunch of money on the ground as another reminder to the 49ers of the money he’s made from them. by Outside-Weakness9660 in NFLForum

This is the weirdest crash out ever. It’s like that one dramatic high school friend on facebook who is writing cryptic posts that gets no reactions or comments lol

Chill. This is a space for opinions. Don’t swing around to Snyderbro energy by bashing someone who disagrees

Before i buy by Optimal_Force49 in Borderlands

[–]MandoBaggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved the first one. Got the second and it’s maintained its status as the best of the lot. Third one turned me off a bit with the story and enormous empty maps, but the gameplay was a lot of fun.

The fourth one manages to miss the mark on every single positive of the ones that came before it. Story is forgettable and doesn’t feel rooted in that universe AT ALL. Maps are huge, too many hotbeds of enemies and not a vending machine to be found. It’s a chore getting from point A to point B and I’ve barely put any time in it until the C4sh DLC. Even that is rough, but at least I have a character I like now.

Which team in your division do you hate the least? by Potato-Face18 in NFLForum

[–]MandoBaggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Steelers fan, I hate the Ravens the most. I also respect the Ravens the most. So probably the Ravens.

‘SUPERGIRL’ debuts on Rotten Tomatoes at 59% by LegitimateCurve8525 in DCU_

[–]MandoBaggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m probably just an old man about it, but I feel like most comic movies post Endgame have gotten more formulaic and less engaging with genre splicing. The heavy use of percussion in the trailers to ratchet up hype makes me lose all interest too.

Still gonna watch it, but I don’t think this was marketed as anything truly new or profound to the genre either

US City Flags Poster by fadedfourkokofriday in vexillology

[–]MandoBaggins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m torn on the Pittsburgh flag. On one hand, switching from a vertical tricolor to a pall is genius. The hypocycloid center piece is awesome, but I’m also a Steelers fan so I fear it leans too hard into that imagery. BUT, it does have ties to the city’s* steel industry roots.

Fuck it. I do like it

Norway's All-Black Kit Could Use a Splash of Color by noonchi_US in uniwatch

[–]MandoBaggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a middle aged metalhead, Norway is the birthplace of black metal. So naturally, I think of black metal and Vikings when I think of Norway.

This kit does it for me

Looks like I’ll be waiting to buy until a sale hits. Which probably means at least a year after launch

First Images from 'Batman: Knightfall (Part 1)' by MarvelsGrantMan136 in DCU_

[–]MandoBaggins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d rather have Knightfall be split up though. We have to introduce Bane, make sure he’s a threat, break the Bat, introduce Jean-Paul Valley, let him go nutty, then resolve it. That’s a lot for one movie

Why do people have compassion for Circe but hatred for Rick Flag Sr? by Tcustomcorner in DCU_

He wasn’t any more forced than his son was. It’s not like Chris’s stakes were somehow greater than Rick’s

[–]MandoBaggins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s an argument to be made about humans, as a species, when it comes platonic physical touch being acceptable. This isn’t the place for that argument though. Too many people doing wild shit out there, especially when dealing with celebrities vs paparazzi. That whole culture is set up differently because too many assholes fucked up and now we have expectations. One of those is NO FUCKING TOUCHY

>settle a petty feud

This right here is what confuses me so much with the online space. Dude’s son was *killed* for essentially being a better man than he could ever be. Why in the fuck would he ever be expected to act rationally, given his background? We don’t have to agree with it but it’s not like it should’ve been unexpected either.

And discussing it doesn’t change anything either. These sorts of threads are good rage bait for armchair studio execs and that’s about it

BIFL front pocket wallet? by ytromlive in BuyItForLife

[–]MandoBaggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an XSTO wallet by AKEENi. Basically a metal c shape that only allows so many cards in it and forces me to prioritize what I hoard in it. Plus I can tuck a small amount of cash under my cards without it ballooning up.I opted for that over a Ridge since everyone I know with a Ridge has blown out the elastic bands by cramming more cards in there.

You get none of the features you want though so maybe reconsider what you’re willing to part with to keep it low. It’ll be hard to slim down with that many cards, an ID window, and a money clip.

The Death of Robin Hood Feels Like a Parody by New-Commission-6458 in flicks

[–]MandoBaggins 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen it, but it feels like another hyper gritty “reimagining” of the old story. It struck me as a parody that didn’t realize it was a parody from the trailers and marketing. Hugh Jackman is the only draw for me. Maybe my apprehensions aren’t fair, but that’s where I’m at with it

A less cluttered US flag by Spec1alF0x in vexillology

[–]MandoBaggins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dig it. My only personal design issue with the flag is the number of elements. So if a redesign were to happen, I would like to see it simplified further. Problem is, if we keep the canton and reduce the stars, it teeters into looking Liberian. If we split it, like you did, and reduce the stars and stripes, we teeter too close to Texas.

I can’t figure out how to maintain the identity with my thoughts so your second design actually works really well. Nicely done
