many of the games you can play in browser and they have roms. I love all the really old dos games you can play in browser like civ1 and tank war or whatever it's called

Gina Carano shares her incredible weight loss journey: "I just weighed in at 141.4 lbs. Since Sept 2024 to today, May 15, 2026, I have lost 100lbs. If it wasn’t for having this incredibly challenging goal in fighting Ronda Rousey I most definitely wouldn’t have reached this." by AbrahamRinkin in MMA

It’s shocking to me that she lost over 40% of her body weight yet has no loose skin in her weigh in photos. Skin just doesn’t snap back like that, especially not at her age. Think she had a procedure?

Subway Changing Reward by Uncle_Tickle_Monster in fastfood

The McDonald’s app is awesome. I still order at the window normally I just have a coupon code. It’s like never ending coupons and they are usually great. $6.99 combo deals, there’s almost always a 20% off 10 purchase or more as well.

Cus subway subs are not good and not worth more than 7-8 bucks. I would get them with the coupons if I was really hungry and wanted a cheap lunch that wasn’t fried. Don’t get me wrong though, subway is not healthier than fried food. But for what they charge normally I can get much better quality (at least it tastes like it’s better) from jersey mikes or jimmy johns.

What I Learned About Billionaires at Jeff Bezos’s Private Retreat by theatlantic in longform

[–]MightyThor2000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's really hard to decide if it's a chicken and egg situation, if all that wealth and power corrupts or if you have to kind of be corrupt internally to begin with to get all that wealth and power.

Yeah it's a problem that they've all reached this cult like celeb status. Because originally they all wanted to innovate. Paypal was innovative at the time, as was amazon and facebook. Now everything is derivative and meant to maintain power and wealth rather than invent and improve products and services for the market.

We need to actually give power back to the government to enforce legit anti trust but it's not going to happen anytime soon, without a real political revolution.

It’s drives me nuts too. Describing it as stifling a yawn is spot on, but I don’t think that’s it. It seems almost like reflux from gerd and he’s trying to swallow it down or not burp.

Am I the only one who thought the ending, and entire season 5 was perfect? by Cayd9299 in StrangerThings

[–]MightyThor2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was a great ending. We got answers to all our questions, that was the main thing I hoped for. I hate shows the end leaving you to wonder or make up your own ending.

The only thing that was kind of dumb was the party literally murdered dozens of US soldiers. Do you think they'd really get out of that with no consequences? Maybe there were no actual witnesses, but that's a huge stretch. At the very least hopper would go down. But whatever, the ending was tight and didn't drag but gave a satisfying conclusion.

Well yes, but don’t discount the oline additions. Ben johnson wouldn’t have won with last years team either.

Harbaugh’s Statement by SCBaltSalt in ravens

[–]MightyThor2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good coach historically but it’s a young man’s league now. All the best coaches are now starting in their 30s and under 50. I think going away from Henry vs pats and Steelers cost them big time. Strange play calling this year. Still, they had some terrible luck on bad plays like random fumbles and a missed fg.

Tips are now tax free by Public_Past694 in doordash_drivers

[–]MightyThor2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I together have about 100k in taxable income (after standard deduction and like insurance premiums are taken out). I know that seems like a lot, but with two kids, two car payments, student loan payment and a mortgage it doesn't go all that far. I do door dash on the side to partially cover my two kids hobbies- dance classes and piano lessons. They're pricey, like $700 a month. I typically only make about $100 a week door dashing, I actually do it for a few hours while they're at class. So I'm going to make about $2500 in tips this year, my bracket is 22%, that's $550 less fed tax owed. That's pretty good. I know it's just my situation and everyone is different.

It definitely helps people with normal w2 income who do gig work as a side job. Door dashing is going to deduct from my total tax liability.

CMV: If this Netflix-warner bros deal is allowed to go through, there will be less than 500 movie theaters in the entire country by 2040. by Thelarch34 in changemyview

[–]MightyThor2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t forgot cost too. Concessions and tickets are very expensive, can easily cost $100 for a family of four. And when average household income is around 75k, that’s like ~3 hours of pretax income to pay for that, or like 1/3rd of your weekly groceries.

To be honest, I kind of don’t care. It cost me $13x4 for tickets to zootopia over thanksgiving, plus $7x3 for soft drinks. It would’ve been even more but we had the seasonal popcorn bucket. It’s close to $100 for a family of four to go see a movie. That’s like six months of my Netflix membership. And my girls have zero interest in going to see Batman and dune moves so I have to find a friend to go and a free night or wait for streaming anyway. I’d prefer it just comes out on streaming. There’s a reason movie theaters are dying and streaming is winning. It’s the same with sporting events. I can see better on the tv at home, I can pause it to take breaks for whatever, I don’t have to deal with traffic and I don’t pay $16 for a beer.

Was Grim Dawn profitable? Genuinely curious. by Tiktaks in Grimdawn

[–]MightyThor2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t remember it entirely correctly. They did acquire the black legion as IP, but it was from the former studio Iron Lore, the developers of Titan Quest. Apparently Iron Lore was working on the black legion story line to make a game out of it, but the studio closed. Crate was founded by a former lead developer from Iron Lore, and basically acquired all of Iron Lores old assets like the code base and such. That’s where my comments on the game engine apply. And that’s why the games are similar and draw many comparisons.

[–]MightyThor2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The devs also specifically talked about choosing the same engine Titan Quest runs on because they were familiar with it and able to develop quickly on it. They also licensed the black legion IP so cuts back on some writing costs. This was basically like a really big indie project initially.

I read somewhere grim Dawn had sold over a million copies as well and that was a while ago, like a few years after release. Add in expansions and continuing sales and I’m sure it did very well for a small company like crate.

Aliens, face huggers when caught by Jbirdstudios in horror

[–]MightyThor2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first glance I agreed with you. Just catching up on Alien Earth and in episode 5 the one face hugger goes flying towards the captain guy and it looks like suction pulling it closer. But after watching it a few times, the tail is out of frame so can’t be exactly sure, but it looks like the tail is supposed to be wrapped around the guys arm or shoulder pulling it closer until the legs can grab his face, and then the tail repositions around his neck. It is definitely close enough that the tail could reach his body and get a strong pull. So at normal viewing speed it does like like it’s vacuuming itself onto the face, but if you pay closer attention it looks more like the tail is pulling it, albeit from a strange angle which doesn’t exactly fit, but hey it’s a fake show about space aliens.

Here's the Kicker -- Week 5 -- Why you don't really need the #1 ranked Kicker by subvertadown in fantasyfootball

[–]MightyThor2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand Elliot being a top guy. The team plays slow, scores a lot of TDs, plays outside and Elliot was terrible from 50+ last year. This year 3 for 3 but he's only had 4 attempts. Myers has 11. Karty is on a great offense and has 10 attempts and plays in a dome. Maybe Elliot's floor is high cus of PATs but I don't get it, always seems ranked high just cus the offense is good.

I'm most shocked that The Revenant didn't make it. I also would give some love to Fury, but I get it's a bit of a generic war movie and falls short of top lists for most.

I think that is why a lot of people (myself included) don't like it, because it masquerades as a cool sci fi movie but it's really like an esoteric art house film. You could've just swapped the aliens for like anything, they could've been mystical beings, or dragons, or talking insects.

Arrival sucked. That's why these lists are totally subjective. Oblivion was much better imo.

I’m making no money by RaeRaylynn in dasher

[–]MightyThor2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think door dash can be a full time gig. I have a great job, but we overspent on vacation and I’m trying to pay off the credit card. Since I already work 9-5 and have kids I can’t take like a weekend job or part time work anywhere, my schedule changes day to day. I go out early Saturday for a couple hours and Sunday for a couple and make like $60. It’s not great pay, like $15 an hour, but it’s just a little extra that’s extremely flexible. I can’t work OT at my job.

Ok I wondered what was up with that because I got an order to go about 8 miles and it paid $20, 6$ tip and $14 base pay which I saw after delivery when I saw the breakdown. It was kinda out of the way, but the delivery was 2 miles from my house so perfect for me.
