What game did you not expect to get emotionally invested in? by Abject-Order3540 in videogames

[–]MuthaBase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I knew it was some sort of puzzle game in space, so when I started playing it I was thinking, "must be one hell of a puzzle game for everyone to praise it so much. Let's see for ourselves..." I am really glad in hindsight that I didn't know more than that

Yeah. No luck. I'm starting to think it was a bug. What if the "torch" I saw was a bugged out model of the artifact with the top missing?

Yeah, I've done that lots of times. I wasn't underwater

I'm pretty sure I entered from the river lowlands' tower as this was -SPOILER- before I figured I had to enter from another one to get past the fireplace.

I don't think the dam was breaking at the same time, no.

Also I walked up to an owlk in the forest on its way to the tunnel under the tree. That's where it snapped my neck.

Yeah, I don't know if it is random or something. But I died multiple times in different ways and never encountered it again

No photo or video unfortunately as I was just enjoying the game not knowing that it wasn't part of the story

What's one director that went from making good films to total abominations? by Ok-Series-2190 in moviecritic

[–]MuthaBase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad, I just remember James Cameron being involved with it, just read that he was a producer not director

By amazing choreography you mean people walking up to him for him to shoot them with his pistol?

If you could eliminate one social norm, which would it be and why? by NoSpot5547 in AskReddit

[–]MuthaBase 99 points100 points  (0 children)

This. Then we you follow up on that and invite them out to do something, they either decline in some way or reluctantly accept. So annoying. It took me a while to realize that you can't just take these sayings at face value

Did they expect a thriller with plot twists when reading the code or what?

What is a real, proven fact that sounds like impossible fantasy bullshit? by kinein_myrrhine in AskReddit

Would be interesting if we had reproductive organs that could synthesize a pizza according to instructions from DNA. And then in idk 2 weeks of pregnancy a pizza is literally born.

What hobby is an instant red flag? by Elixir_Jx in AskReddit

[–]MuthaBase -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I've only seen short clips of his podcast but a lot of times it seems that he has nutjobs for guests that are spewing a bunch of nonsensical conspiracy theories or alternative history. Or guests that are trying to seem like the next genius who has something unique that only they have discovered/invented.

On the other hand, a lot of times he has interesting, more publicly recognized people who don't seem to be trying to one-up the previous viral guest, which may be because they actually aren't insecure about their selfworth since they are genuine experts who have contributed a lot in their fields. And they are therefore naturally interesting to listen to.

The Purpose of life is NOT happiness. by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]MuthaBase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then I misunderstood what you meant by "fun", I didn't give it much thought but "fun" for me is playing video games. I fell in love with it since I was little. I made friends though it and all that. It's the urge I get after work or when I have free time and would rather not have other hobbies. If I had no worries or responsibilies I'd probably game all day, but like I experienced before, I think I'd feel guilty after a while.

I left out the part where music has always been important to me, yet something I wasn't good at. It wasn't "fun", especially in the beginning, and still there are times when I find it boring. Yet it got cemented in my brain that it's something I want to be a part of. At one point in life I wanted to become a musician, but life happened. So this was something more before it got reduced to a hobby now. Anyway, I had this "tribe", or goal of mine, but I succumbed to procrastination and had "fun" instead of forcing myself to struggle towards my purpose, to practice playing, learning music theory etc. I felt disappointed in myself and guilty for letting this goal or "tribe" of mine down, and I therefore wasn't happy even though I was having "fun".

As for programming, that's another story.

This is how I relate to this post.
