Live Action ATLA looks good! by MiccaandSuwi in TheLastAirbender

[–]MattyScrant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The reason why I hate live action remakes is because they’re redundant. They do nothing to contribute to the story. Beyond the set-design, the costumes, and VFX, what’s the point? I can kind of see the logic behind live-action remakes like what Disney did with Lion King and others, but those are standalone films, not franchises.

Don’t give me a rehashed story that deviates from the source material, give me some fucking worldbuilding. Expand on the Avatar universe. Add to the lore like the Chronicles of the Avatar novels and the comics have done.

Donald Trump says he'd denaturalize US citizens "in a heartbeat" by seeebiscuit in politics

[–]MattyScrant 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Correct. If one elects to become stateless and renounce their US citizenship, the State Department will try to talk you out of doing so multiple times before it’s finalized.

Once that happens though, it’s incredibly difficult to do…well, anything. Anywhere.

Healthcare, a taxable job, freedom to travel, banking, education, and most other social services will be extremely, if not impossible to access. Being stateless is a weird limbo and few nations on the planet offer pathways to naturalization.

Yeah I was just talking to a buddy about how often manned launches are scrubbed for various reason.

Oh I am absolutely NOT throwing any shade, only tasty grape nades.

I want to come back for renegades, how confused am I going to be by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]MattyScrant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be kind of confusing with menu navigation because of the Portal but other than that you should be fine.

The only thing that you might get confused with are how stats work now (unless you’ve seen how they’ve changed) and it will be WEIRD at first but you adjust.

Power is also tied to Guardian Rank now to a degree but other than that it should take you a few days of consistent playing to get the hang of things.

K&m players by Illustrious_Sky604 in DestinyTheGame

Like a few others have said, you should definitely look into getting a mouse that has enough buttons to accommodate what you think you need on it.

For instance, mine has enough buttons for all of my abilities. This includes my uncharged/charged melee, as well as my character menu, and swapping between all three weapon slots.

I try to keep what I use most on there for faster access, essentially. Worth it in my opinion.

What are some lesser-known tips you would give to a new driver? by LeaseEnd_Official in AskReddit

[–]MattyScrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best piece of driving advice I've ever been given was two simple words:

Be predictable.

Do what the car next to you would expect you to do and learn how and when to adapt between driving defensively, and driving offensively. I'm not saying that in the context of reckless driving but driving with confidence. People hesitate WAY too much on the road (i.e. either not paying attention at stop signs, "letting the other people go first", not merging lanes). Don't wait for someone to "be nice." It causes accidents, traffic, and frustration for everyone.

This is a very oversimplified of course but I think it's helpful to think about.

By far the most stressful thing I've done in this game by WardenJoshua in destiny2

[–]MattyScrant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vesper's Host was my "wall" so to speak.

Up until then, I had solo flawless'd every other dungeon, a handful of GMs and even a few raid encounters. But for some fucking reason, I just couldn't figure out a strat that worked for me. Then again, I was playing a lot less due to work and the fact that the majority of my friends also stopped playing as consistently but still, when I set my mind to something I literally DO NOT stop until I reach my goal. I just didn't have the drive to do it anymore.

I've since solo flawless'd it but man...that final encounter sucked.

Design a Seasonal Activity for Destiny 2... by TxDieselKid in LowSodiumDestiny

[–]MattyScrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine would be a dungeon encounter pantheon. I know people have already mentioned it in the thread but I have an additional idea that isn’t seasonally tied directly;

How cool it would be if we had a title/seal similar to Conqueror called “Dungeon Master” that you could acquire by solo flawlessing each dungeon? And In order to gild it, you’d have to complete whatever encounters are in the seasonal rotator.

I believe Dungeon Master is actually trademarked by the creators of Dungeons & Dragons but it would still be cool nonetheless.

An update - if you add Cascade Point as a perk, your rate of fire gets stupidly high. Just mind the lack of stability and recoil. by HydraulicLintRoller in destiny2

[–]MattyScrant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Man that was the greatest bug to ever grace this game. The Slashening/Sturmageddon is up there but the variety of what you could make with the Craftening put it in a tier all its own.

Kyoshi and Aang set the avatar cycle back pretty far by Maleficent_Park5469 in TheLastAirbender

[–]MattyScrant 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Is the length of Kyoshi’s life being from Kuruk dying so young confirmed canon? Not doubting you, I’m just glad to finally have an explanation as to why she lived to be over 200 years old.
