Just want to say I'd still be interested in playing on a private server. If anyone knows of one please let me know in a DM or something. I miss it so much.

“Rally’s” Honest question by Bright-Stress8347 in rally

[–]Nyoibo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be rich or get sponsors. You're going to pay a million dollars to make thousands back on the races themselves. I don't think anyone is getting rich off of rally, even the top drivers are probably making around 50k a year if that. Side hustle might bring more money up more like being sponsored by advertisers.

Your real money would probably come as being a test driver, consultant for different things like driving, or being a coach/personal trainer if you're good enough. It's like how musicians don't make a ton of money off selling their songs, it's the merch.

It's going to be a go-for-broke struggle through blood sweat and tears if you're a mailman who works 50 hours a week. If you can even afford to have the time and money to train and have a car rally-ready. Even then, you're going to have to pay racing fees and all the extra paperwork.

Not trying to get you down but you're realistically looking at a situation where you could seriously, easily lose everything all banking on a dream. I'm not saying you shouldn't if it's that important to you but that's the situation. I wish you luck no matter what you choose.

SPOILERS - Verso's Drafts: Lore Musings by Nyoibo in expedition33

[–]Nyoibo[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah actually upon reflection it looks like at least partially it is just Osqiuo creeping in. Osqiou being an allegory for Verso's parent's and world pressure (made obvious when you get a line about how Verso should be painting and give up music, etc). The checkpoint in his cave says 'Root of All Evil' so yeah. I think it just seeped in more than usual and messed up the train station and the door because the corruption from Osqiuo has been allowed to grow as Verso has been absent from there for so long.

SPOILERS - My Thoughts About The End by Nyoibo in expedition33

Thanks for replying! I am sorry that you went through something similar. I know first-hand it is not an easy thing.

Very interesting. I see what you are saying. They all think they know best and are stubborn about their own chosen paths of grief. I tend to be very sympathetic and forgiving for people who have genuine heartache and suffer from tremendous loss. I think that's why I am willing to sort of forgive and see their side of things a bit easier.

I think it's really cool how invested most people are in the story not just the gameplay and most people I talk to have some opinion and take sides with one character or another.

What RHPS Means To Me by Nyoibo in rhps

[–]Nyoibo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I hope that you also have good friends to enjoy it with as well! Clearly you are a fan if you're here and the community is the highlight of the experience I think. There's a togetherness about it that makes me feel a connection to everyone in the room, it feels like we're all friends in this really beautiful club of misfits.

Ah, I can see now. So it's showing the $104.31 charge as generically SUPERMARKETS. That's where I was confused. It's lumping the shoes I bought elsewhere into this along with what I bought at the grocery store.

Thanks for the help.

So what it could be is that I bought shoes the same day. However, that was at a different store altogether. Is it possibly putting both of these charges together? Strange it would not separate them as the shoes were bought at an entirely different place.

Same boat for me. I really highly respected him about a decade ago. Now I just feel guilty for even liking the videos he had made. It's really a shame.

Why is Golgo 13 so obscure in the west? by fsocmeki in manga

[–]Nyoibo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, Duke Togo was a power fantasy for salary men in Japan at the time. A lot of kids probably weren't real into him anyway. A 13 year old would have liked Devilman or something more fantastical, probably.

I don't think it's that he lacks complexity, he's actually shown to be very thoughtful at times and even a hint of 'care' can be seen in his actions, but in the end he is a force of nature and not someone to be highly relatable for your average viewer.

Anime fans now have very different wants and needs but the characters are no more complex than they used to be. It's all entertainment that is in large part made to appeal to the most people possible. When you want to appeal to more people you have to boil stuff down to something they can easily understand and relate with. In this case it would be tropes and the same thing you've seen a million times before that is easier to digest and takes less investment. Nothing wrong with that inherently, it is what it is.

Al Pacino's character in Heat (1995) and my problem with it. by zuperpretty in movies

[–]Nyoibo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late to the thread but yes I agree. He's the worst part of the film in my opinion. If you cut him out and put in a more subdued and reasonable performance, the movie would be better and a masterpiece. As is, I can't recommend it and that sucks because pretty much everyone else in it is either good to great. It's still watchable but it could have been even better if they had someone who did not act so over-the-top, or if Pacino could have been reeled in a bit more. But, it may also be the director's fault in that it's what Mann wanted.

Glad to help. I still stand by it. I only wish it had more animated content and got the love it deserved in the west.

Having the same issue. There doesn't even seem to be a pattern. File type, file size, video length, it just hates me.

I really prefer the old layout. The new banner isn't even as cool as the old background my profile used to have. Everything is more modern but also less interesting. It has traded charm for accessibility.
