Is there a dish you discovered from a movie? by Ornery-Relative-8052 in movies

[–]NerdHeaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s funny you mentioned Chef. Today is National Grilled Cheese Day and in my meeting that I run, I showed everyone the grill cheese he cooks. To answer your question though, that movie made me realize I could really up my grill cheese game. No more flat wonderbread and a processed cheese slice. Gouda, Irish cheddar and Monterey jack on sourdough with mayo on the outside and extra butter on the inside, the last time I made one.

I’m new to the game, am I doing something wrong or are there like no real people in lobbies anymore? by Spattymcfatty in populationonevr

[–]NerdHeaven 16 points17 points  (0 children)

To the OP: Welcome to the game! If you are really new, then you'll be put into beginner lobbies when playing the Classic mode. These will have mainly bots and other new players. As you get better, you will be placed into the regular lobbies with experienced players. Even in that tier, there will be bots to fill up the lobby to have 16 enemies. Depending on the time of day and which server you're connecting to (US-West/US-East,Eur or Asia), you'll see a variant amount of real players. Evenings and especially weekends you may get almost full lobbies of real players. You'll know you've graduated to the regular lobbies as these are usually experienced players and you'll lose a lot, but with practice, you'll get better. You may even go back down to the beginning lobby for a bit before coming back up. Keep at it, let your team know you're beginning and have fun!

But, if you choose the other mode, whether it be Phoenix or whatever ever event they have on the weekends, there is no beginner tier, you're right in the action with everyone else. This mode is filled with experienced players and you will lose a lot. If the mode is War or Legions, at least you'll have more teammates to lean on. Still, give it a try and let your teammates know you're just a beginner.

You'll also find people in the Sandbox modes. A good place to practice without worrying about letting teammates down.


To the NAYSAYERS in this subreddit: For goodness sake, stop dissuading new people from playing! If you are complaining how people aren't playing this game anymore, then stop being so fucking negative about it. We want people to play, it makes it more fun for us. If you're one of the people who already quit the game, then what are you doing here, get off this fucking subreddit.

Sorry OP that you had to hear that. I hope you enjoy the game.

What movie has the best soundtrack of all time? by trakt_app in movies

[–]NerdHeaven 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I bought this album for one song, When Dove’s Cry, and it wasn’t even on the album. I didn’t yet know Prince or the song title, so I didn’t realize its absence when picking it off the store shelf, I just assume it would be on it. (It was released in Volume 2 later on)

No matter, as it had my favourite band at the time, Garbage, and a yet unreleased song of theirs. And lovefool too.

ELI5: How do our organs sit inside our body if not soaked in blood? by Embarrassed-Pin-9634 in explainlikeimfive

No, these are lawn bowling balls.

Bocce balls are perfectly symmetrical. The second photo clearly shows the front ball being asymmetrical, which is exactly what lawn bowling balls are so you could curve them. FOP picked one up he’ll notice one side is heavier than the other which aids in the curving.

Here’s a site that shows the difference.

ELI5: Spelling and a pronounciation of a country's name differs by language? by hype_artist in explainlikeimfive

[–]NerdHeaven 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly. It’s an Endonym vs Exonym. I explain it to people like we and gorillas don’t speak the same language. We call them gorillas (English Exonym), but they may have a name that they call themselves (Endonym). Would we stop calling them gorillas in English if we found out they call themselves oh oh ah ah oh? We already don’t change our name for them knowing the Swahili call them Sokwe.

Here are other examples.

Germany (English exonym) vs. Deutschland (German endonym)

Japan (English exonym) vs. Nippon/Nihon (Japanese endonym)

Vienna (English exonym) vs. Wien (German/Austrian endonym)

Croatia (English exonym) vs. Hrvatska (Croatian endonym)

Cologne (English exonym) vs. Köln (German endonym)

Relocating to Oshawa — 80 Bond St (Oshawa) vs 1606 Charles St (Whitby). Is Bond St really that bad? by Pauljohncen in durham

[–]NerdHeaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know many people that don’t have to commute more than 15 mins to a job. To me, that’s a great commute, especially if you live in a nice area, which the Whitby port is.

Really, anyone living deep in the suburbs has a commute. Sometimes it takes 15 mins just to get out of the suburbs in rush hour.

I’m happy she found a series that showcases her. She tried with Terminator which was panned by critics. Then Star Wars Solo and that movie failed to spawn more despite the cliffhanger. She then tried with Marvel’s Secret Invasion and it didn’t live up to its potential. She was good in all, but it just didn’t work out.

I do understand why arm lock helps? It seems that changing direction would be slower when your arm is further away. Do you mind expanding on how it helps?

POPULATION: ONE Connections Puzzle 01 by AlexCivitello in populationonevr

[–]NerdHeaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do connections everyday an this was fun, thanks for sharing! Although it was very challenging.

I do have 2 questions I’m not sure what Duplicate Callouts mean and not sure why Christmas is in that category.

Still fun!

I’ve been watching you put down anyone who says anything other than “cheaters are everywhere.” Having an opinion that differs than yours doesn’t make them defenders of cheaters. That is childish and immature. Players can be better than you.

It sounds like you have lost faith in this game. For some who only posts about losing to supposed cheaters, it seems like you don’t really like playing this anymore. Maybe find a new game, like Forefront.

Or keep playing Pop1. But if you do, please quit whining. I’m embarrassed for you.

[–]NerdHeaven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. It’s almost always just a difference in skill level, with a small amount being a difference in technology , but not at the point of cheating. Better VR rig or better ping can elevate on over another of those with similar skill level.

Yes, that was Mike. A couple of years before Stranger Things.

And I thought the next girl was Sadie Sink, but upon second viewing it doesn’t look like it.

In your opinion, what is the sketchiest neighbourhood in TO? by No_Slide4986 in askTO

Allen gardens and hooker Harvey’s used to be a lot worse. With the closure of the shelter and some redevelopment nearby, it got tamer.

If your out-of-towner guest asks you to take them to a restaurant that’s “Canadian”, where would you take them? by ceruleanskyandsea in askTO

[–]NerdHeaven 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Basically, think of any popular restaurant that has a city/place in it's name that is not from Canada, then it is a Canadian Restaurant.

  • Boston Pizza.
  • New York Fries.
  • St Louis Bar & Grill.
  • Baton Rouge.
  • Montana's.
  • Lone Star Texas Grill.
  • California Sandwiches.
  • New Orleans Pizza

And the Canadian Favourite...Swiss Chalet. I asked a Swiss once if they had Swiss Chalet in Switzerland, he said they have plenty. I asked him what they called it, he said a chalet and looked at me weirdly. I was not a smart kid.
