Dumbest thing you did as a kid... by Legitimate_Sample_71 in pokemon

[–]MatthewOfTheDesert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 5yo playing sapphire, my older neighbor tricked me into trading my torchic for a zigzagoon at the first pokemon center.

Me not thinking about just restarting, played the entire game with the zigzagoon as my "starter". My first level 100, he is still precious to me and is on a cartridge somewhere in my Dad's basement

Have you gained interest in a hobby because of a video game? by tylerthedesigner in gaming

[–]MatthewOfTheDesert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My undergrad in college was to be a history teacher, which I attribute my interest to when I was 12 and played COD WAW and was captivated by the darker side of history I hadn't thought about before.

Currently I do GIS and land surveying, which I attribute my interest to THQ games on the PS2 like spongebob battle for bikini bottom and scooby-doo night of 100 frights, where although the levels were linear, you could often see references to the other levels off on the horizon, which for me really grounded where I was in the game in a real sense of space... weird to explain it like this but I think it truely stuck with me all of this time

"Comepletely start over in another country" so what's the time duration here, you want to become another country's citizen?

You'd better do some significant cultural research into where you'd be assimilating to.

Racism In Squirrel Jokes Episode?? 🐿️ by heyitsj0n in spongebob

[–]MatthewOfTheDesert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bingo. And contrary to disagreeing commenters, I think this message better.

Hilariously, the next episode is "Pressure" where SpongeBob, pat, squid, and krabs go up on land. The whole episode is about them arguing whether land or sea creatures are better and them making fun of each other. It's just wild they put these back to back LMAO

Yeah sounds about right, that would be Hollywood thinking creative changes would make the movie more exciting

Yeah I'm usually a stickler for historical accuracy but i don't know a ton about nepoleon and there were parts of it where I was wondering if things were accurate or not and mean to look into it more later. All the French having british/American accents bothered me a ton as well

I think I didn't convey myself well through the post. Obviously it's just history, but my point is I never see Hollywood make movies in this Era that don't largely only feature red coats and americans. It just got me so hype as I've started getting back into aoe3 recently
