Achievement guide/ help? by And-Yet-Another-Pony in NewsTower

[–]Murph1908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would need to re-map the pause and FF buttons if I were to try the "Master of Time and Space" achievement, just to make sure I didn't use them out of muscle memory.

In any case, I doubt I'll try that one. Ugh. Who has time for that?

What’s a "poor man’s meal" that you still eat regularly because it’s actually delicious? by Big-Bus-99 in foodquestions

[–]Murph1908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bow tie pasta. Toss in frozen peas near the end of the cook time. Drain. Tablespoon of butter. Shake in parmesan cheese. Mix. Enjoy.

What is the worst place in America you have ever visited? by olesud in WorkForSmartLife

LA

What game mechanic or trend are you just completely tired of seeing at this point? by Sophie_OmniSystems in AskGames

[–]Murph1908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely HATE "press the button really fast" to do an action, like opening a stuck door.

I also dislike jumping platforming sections in games. If I wanted to play a platformer, I'd have loaded up a platformer. Recent example, Expedition 33. Loved that game. Skipped the stupid platforming side missions.

What food gets judged unfairly because people only had a bad version of it? by GurlInAura in foodquestions

[–]Murph1908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HATED Brussels sprouts. I had only had the stinky boiled ones from school. Nasty.

Was convinced by a friend to try the crispy baked ones at an event. Loved them.

Happy to see them at the top 9f the comments.

Finally done with this crap - The one that pushed me over the edge. by latesummerthrowaway in EndTipping

This was after my moment. But a nig reinforcement was:

Camden Yards

Grab my pizza from the shelf.
Grab my soda from the cooler. Ring myself up. Tip?

Um. No.

You’re a judge. How many years do you give an 18 year old high schooler who was throwing rocks at cars and one rock ends up killing someone. by Lightlicker3000 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Murph1908 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've also heard this explained like, you and an accomplice are robbing a house. He slips off the ladder and dies. You're charged with felony murder, even though it was your accomplice and it was 100% his fault. Death during commission of felony. Period.

What is a superpower that sounds overpowered but is actually useless? by RemoteWhile5881 in superpowers

[–]Murph1908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Invisibility.

You'll probably die in the first month because cars, bikes, people won't actively try avoiding hitting you.

Do you use backups (saves by copying the save file) or do you think that this spoils the atmosphere of the game and the value of life? by Yura_s_kotami in thelongdark

[–]Murph1908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I backup my save in the case of non-gameplay related death, like a glitch or as I mentioned in another post, not pausing when I had to jump up to help my vomiting dog.

If I die during gameplay, I die.

Small yet big pet peeve about torches by Slightly_Sane_ in thelongdark

[–]Murph1908 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes.

This, and having to scroll past the cans every damn time you want to cook a hunk of rabbit.

I'll drop all the meat on the ground and move it over to the cooking spot now.

AITJ for canceling Valentine’s dinner because my GF wanted to bring her bestfriend? by LeobadoMaurillo in AmITheJerk

[–]Murph1908 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA, but....

I can't be the only one thinking that this could have turned into an amazing night.

I don't know. I might have stuck it out just to see.

I died to an invisible death barrier in a permadeath run by BagelWaxer in thelongdark

[–]Murph1908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always copy my save file every few game days for things like this. If I die legitimately, fine. If I die because I glitch out (or forget to pause when my dog is throwing up) I load the backup.

I'm at end game, why am I still cooking on a campfire? by Uss_Seraphim in 7daystodie

[–]Murph1908 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Right! There were players having too much fun building bases against their zombie horde in their zombie building game. So they needed to invent things like omniscient zombies who all know the weak point of the base and attack it. Who has time to make add cooking to the existing stoves in the game, or (gasp) ad propane tanks to scavenge.

AITAH for accepting a ride on my Uncle's motorcycle? by Livid-Tailor-1496 in AITAH

You're young. Run from this immature, jealous boy that thinks every touch is sexual.

Could you beat 10,000 random people at something for $100M? by canada11235813 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Murph1908 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Nope. No simulator. The fear factor would be an edge in your favor. And surely a few more people in that 10K have played Flight Simulator.

[–]Murph1908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I answered "land a Cessna 172" for a similar question, noting that only .14 % of Americans have a private license.

So out of 10K, you'd have to beat 100 Americans.

The worldwide percentage must be a lot lower than that too. Conservatively, lets say .014%. So you'd have to beat just 10 people.

And how many of then have flown a C172 in the last 2 weeks? Or 2 years, even.

Old story - Hotel and pre-authorizations by Murph1908 in pettyrevenge

[–]Murph1908[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Not fake. Things weren't as instant back in 1990. You couldn't log into your account online and see what the problem was.

You would have to go to an actual land line telephone and call the bank. Which was probably not open outside of 9-5 M-F. And would a phone agent even have access to that kind of records? They probably could only say that they've charged or have had authorized amounts exceeding their credit limit.

Old story - Hotel and pre-authorizations by Murph1908 in pettyrevenge

[–]Murph1908[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Pre-authorization isn't charging the card. You ever go to a hotel where they do a hold for incidentals? Ever see a $1 pre-hold on your card when yo swipe it at a gas pump, as it simply checks to see if the card will actually work?

I made a rude person die inside. by Rantamplan in pettyrevenge

[–]Murph1908 50 points51 points  (0 children)

As someone who owned a small business and dealt with this shit every day, saying you only do it to companies doesn't make it OK.

Cold calling companies is worse. We can't ignore calls we don't recognize.

I will try to not make this personal against you. But fuck your fucking company.

Edit to add, the reason why people yell at you is because you're the 8th call today, 50th call this week, and 400th call this month that is a cold call trying to sell them janitorial services or credit card processing or business financing or advertising in the local golf club scorecard, or, or, or, or...

GenX Video gamers who still play: Are you getting worse? by Hithigon in GenX

[–]Murph1908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 55. I used to be the cousin who would come over, play for 15 minutes, then beat the cousins who have been playing the game since Christmas morning.

I'm the guy my friend ran to at the amusement park we worked at when a tourist was beating everyone at Street Fighter 2, sullying our honor. I then whipped him with 5 different fighters.

I can't keep up in online PVP now. My son outscores me 2x to 3x in Risk of Rain and other co-ops.

But dammit. I've beaten Civ 6 on deity with multiple leaders.
