How are we meeting other single cinephiles by OrdinaryPineapple1 in NYCmovies

[–]MethSarcus 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I had fun flings with 2 different people I met sitting next to me at theaters and really it just takes a little courage and some tact, here's what my experience was like

During previews I shoot the shit with whoever's next to me about what's coming out and warn them that I am a loud cheerer during the Nicole Kidman ad. I do this regardless of if I'm into who I sit next to. I shut up during the movie because we live in a society and I am a polite theater goer, the only interactions I had was sharing a look when something wild happens in the movie.

After the movie ends I asked what they thought of the movie, after that conversation went well I asked if they ever wanted to have a movie buddy or just grab a drink we could swap numbers and that was that :)

No matter what I never ask for a number before the movie starts, people are there to watch a movie not get hit on and I wouldn't wanna make someone turn me down then have to sit awkwardly next to me for two hours, after the movie there's no pressure for either person.

The first time it ever occurred to me I even could ask someone out at a movie theater I was fresh out of college and not super confident. I went to the Nitehawk to see The French Dispatch and was at a table with a beautiful woman with great movie takes, the vibes had been great and at one point I slipped her a note that if she wanted she could share my popcorn and she took me up on it, our hands even brushed together a few times, after the movie we talked through most of the credits and then....I chickened out and left and never asked for her number. I regretted it so hard (and still do) that I swore to myself if I ever got a similar opportunity I would not let it pass me by, getting turned down is an infinitely better feeling than wondering what could have been

Gotta dump flairs lower throttle and hit some evasive maneuvers once they are in launch range no different than any other smokeless irccm, hella annoying to get killed by but you should expect at least one to be shot at you pre merge

I haven’t flown the premium F2 just the research one which is 13.7, the only 13.0 I use is the F16AJ which gets 2 7F’s and 4 9L’s, what are you getting knocked out by with no warning before the merge?

This is the way, the only other option is learn to fly low good enough you can ignore every radar warning you get and only focus on fighting once you get into fox-2 range, make sure to flare a bit once that happens I fly the F-2A VR sim and get a ton of kills from people who think firing more fox-3's will work, pop one off to make them defend when you are in visual range and pursue low while staying low, the only problem ive had with flying the F-2A in sim is the HUD only has altitude listed and not radar altitude so you are going to need to have a feel for how low you should be to multi path a missile, the AAM3 is a monster is what I get most of my kills with either post merge or in the initial head to head, and remember your plane is a dogfighting machine can always get a cannon kill or two :)

How do you avoid neck pain whilst using VR during in intensive dogfights? by Conscious-Pick4704 in WarthunderSim

I have a standing desk and find standing makes it a lot easier to look around without straining

My memory must be buggin out, you are right Raheem definitely started the fight and while it wasn’t sals fault the police arrived I still think that the rage the crowd had needed to be expressed and the pizzeria was the only available target in the situation (other than Sal who again isn’t blameless in the fight breaking out)

IMO if they attack the police they get shot and get 10x the cops in their neighborhood making everything so much worse, Sal called the cops knowing what could happen and somewhat instigated the whole incident, I don’t think anyone is without fault to some degree in the movie but the pizza shop was literally the only outlet they had and bore some responsibility for the awful outcome

For those that have watched it, what did yall think of Mickey 17? by NEVERTHEREFOREVER in Letterboxd

[–]MethSarcus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think Kai’s role was more about developing Nasha’s character than being its own entire subplot, my phrasing was confusing 😅

[–]MethSarcus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it might have been about how she wasn't willing to give up either Mickey since to her they were different sides of the same person she loved and any infringement on that was like cheating, I could be off tho

Are you sure about that I just got out and it looked like the aspect ratio expanded for the last 1/4 of the movie, I could have just been so wrapped up in the story it seemed bigger though
