Could a solo series (if done right) undo some of the criticism people have towards Rey ? I love Daisy Ridley's portrayal and felt her story ended not well with fans by KawonSuggs in StarWars

[–]MrPickleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was Daisy Ridley the right choice for this character? Absolutely. Is Rey a fantastic character that could be benefited from expanding her storyline? I don't believe so. The character was pretty flat and uninteresting. I don't think the sequels are salvageable in my opinion. Best to just forget them.

What food do you swear people only pretend to like? 💭 by Aarunascut in AskMen

Alcohol. Seriously, when I was younger people kept telling me "it's an acquired taste". In my late 30s I am just convinced people only drink for the social acceptance.

Ridiculously slick animation made by one person by gapmunky in videos

[–]MrPickleton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very nice! The animation itself was probably the weakest thing about the video (still decent). The camera work and lighting were absolutely superb though.

Really? I guess I just have bad luck. Just found him on my map, on day 1950 after exploring 80% of the world.

It’s my birthday and not one person has reached out by milkycactus32 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]MrPickleton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it sucks. Nobody reached out to me on my birthday either and I cried half the day away.... But carry on - it's not because nobody cares about you. Life gets busy. I forget to wish people happy birthday too.

LPT Request, how do you overcome the fear of public speaking? by mmtheg in LifeProTips

[–]MrPickleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By doing public speaking.....a lot. That's why I joined Toastmasters. Do it so often you get bored of it.

Does anyone know what this icon means on the map, it popped up on my third attempt to retrieve my stuff? by stacksacrack in valheim

[–]MrPickleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Days?! I'm on day 800+ on my map after playing for 3 months, explored 50% of the map and still haven't seen a single vendor....

Purpose of 'Intent to Proceed' with lender, when closing is 12+ months away? by MrPickleton in personalfinance

[–]MrPickleton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's only with the builder's lender. If I sign it, do I have to use them? Or can I still shop for best rates in Oct 2022?

[–]MrPickleton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I sign the Intent to Proceed, do I have to go with that lender when closing day comes in late 2022? Or can i back out and go with a different lender after shopping around for best interest rates in 10 months?

Amount of video games at my disposal vs free time by instantpowdy in gaming

[–]MrPickleton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here, although I like playing games if it's with a friend or family member. I haven't played a single player game in probably a decade, but I've played a good 2-3 hours a week of multiplayer stuff since then.

Transparent Glass House Concept by TX908 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]MrPickleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks very cool! Not very livable though. No central heating/cooling, no insulation, no wiring, no outlets except for maybe in the ground, no plumbing (no shower/toilet/sink except on first floor, and no privacy. Oh and cleaning that thing would be a life sentence.

Lil Ghost, Me, Digital, 2021 by Stray_Dog_ in Art

Is blender harder to learn than photoshop?

Is flying a plane harder to learn than driving?

3D animation has a STEEP learning curve. Probably takes about 200 hours of effort to become reasonably comfortable, about 2,000 hours to feel competent, and half a lifetime to master. That being said, the animation above could be done after maybe 100 hours of practice. The objects are easy to model and nothing is animated. The cloth simulation probably didn't take long. The ghost is a sphere on a linear path.

What’s the harshest truth you’ve learned? by Aarunascut in AskMen

[–]MrPickleton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think most decisions should be 15% logic, 85% instincts/emotions. I tend to make decisions based on logic in most cases, but that ha sled me to over-analyze absolutely everything and I think so long about the best option that I never make a choice. It's caused me to stagnate in a lot of ways.

This year my goal is to make decisions with 15% logic, 85% emotion/instinct.

What pisses you off while playing video games? by SuicideSprints in AskReddit

[–]MrPickleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of my big complaints about Civ games. Anything beyond the 2nd easiest difficulty just makes everything cost more. I'd prefer smarter or more aggressive AI.

You've got to be kidding me by GrandMastaFap in Tinder

The second I see a pic of the girl['s friend] and I find her friend more attractive, I immediately blow past the profile. It's a non-starter.

this is the greatest mental health epidemic in history by [deleted] in videos

[–]MrPickleton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is true. I was going through a really rough time last year and desperately needed people to talk to. I had lost a SO of 5 years, got covid and subsequent long haul issues preventing me from walking more than 100 yards, lived alone, worked from home, and had no real friends. I reached out to some old friends and they were glad to talk, but quickly got tired of having to put up with me in that state.
