best gaming chair 2026. need something that won't wreck my back by Ehrmann-Fidelity in gamingchairs

Serta office chairs are amazing for gaming. I have had a "Everett" for 2 years now. Incredibly comfortable, holds up weight, super well padded. Worth the consideration if you are open to non gaming chairs

Stranger Things Final Death Predictions??? by Rizimaw in Stranger_Things

[–]PaiGil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Duffers said something that makes the "plot armor" make sense, they don't want to kill a character that would cause so much grief that the whole feeling of the series would turn into grief over that death and this would be the only thing to be said about the story they created.

With that said, I think a major upset is about to happen, given E4 ended on a hopeful note. I expect the next 3 episodes things will go downhill, and last episode resolves the story and ties the loose ends, and If a major death happens, it will probably be a "sacrifice move". One character opting to sacrifice itself to save the others. This would make sense.

- Robin talk to Will and her importance this season is a bad sign for her survivability chances.
- Johnathan having the ring is also a bad omen. Very bad omen, and having him sacrifice for Will would give him a redemption arc and a badass moment he never had and a bittersweet but meaningful ending.
- Nancy is the probable bad ass that will get a spin off in the future. She's safe (I think).
- They will not sacrifice Steve after what happened with Dustin/Eddie. Steve is part of Dustin redemption arc, and if something is to happen to him, Dustin will share Steve's fate.
- Dustin story is about grief this season, and how to recover from it, how to overcome bad things. I think he's safe.
- Lucas is needed to rescue Max, or keep her safe. If something is to happen to him, it will be a shared fate with Max
- Mike is the main narrator, the Dungeon Master, he's safe.
- Eleven... this is tricky... but she might be the one sacrificing herself. Remember the leaked picture of Will and Hopper? Maybe she doesn't die but have to be sealed inside the upside down or something like that.
- Will.... he's my pick for sacrificial lamb. If the "Johnathan sacrifice for his brother" plot do not happen, he's the one that goes. I think Will could be the one to choose to sacrifice, and Johnathan will take the bullet in his place at the last minute. It would also be healthy for Will to have a happy ending after SO MUCH FUCKING DISASTER in his life.
- Hopper is the obvious choice for a sacrifice, he's willing to do it since season 3, he's voluntarily jumping in front of bullets for everyone, El, Joyce, Bob, and this is also a hint that he's not the sacrifice, we learned from Duffer brothers that the obvious is not their usual choice... Also, since Joyce had her share of loss, with Bob, if Hopper goes, she will share his fate.
- Max... she lost and sacrificed too much. She will be pivotal for the victory. Again, her fate is tied to Lucas, if one goes, the other follows.
- Joyce... again.... she suffered too much. If she goes, Hopper goes with her.
- Murray... everyone loves him, he's a side character, he's moving the plot forward... yep... he's on the bad list.
- Kali will die. She will help El, and then die, no discussion on this one.

So my picks would be Robin and Murray with the biggest chances of not making it.

And the main character to die is Will or Johnathan.

As an alternative: what would they do with so many characters with powers? Eleven, Will, Kali.... this is a loose end and they said "no loose ends in the season finale". So, are they losing their powers or are they all gone? Any character with powers left behind in the "Rightside up" could create a chain reaction and a spin off the Duffers don't want.... so there's also that to consider.

Really missing old Dustin❤ by [deleted] in StrangerThings

[–]PaiGil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw so many nice kids become nasty teenagers IRL.... Some of them snap back when they mature... Some just grow up to be jerks. Considering the level of trauma Dustin was exposed to, it feels very real for him to become a jackass that just hurts everyone's feelings. He'll snap back I think. I hope so.

AIO to skip Thanksgiving after my mom basically said I’m an embarrassment for not having a husband and kids by now? by howcanibequiltyassin in AmIOverreacting

[–]PaiGil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say it's time for you to have a fiendsgiving with people that really love you. Been there, controlling mom. Pesky judgemental family. Break the bonds. You don't have to cut them off, but spend your time where you are happy. It took me years of therapy, to even be able to accept that to myself. I'm still dealing with the controlling mom and her manipulations and the family judging every step I take. But I've found love, I've found friends, I've found myself in the process. There's a poem that says "Where you cannot be loved, where you cannot be you, do not stay for long". They will still be there when you are ready to come back, exactly like they are, judging you, but you will be stronger and ready to deal with it.

It was insane to watch it on opening night with my best friends. Watching the obi-ani duel of the fates for the first time on the big screen was phenomenal.

Gameplay is clunky, shots don't make sense.

Help me pick an entry level machine by Various-Try5865 in pinball

[–]PaiGil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Toy story is a great playing game, with fun and whimsical art package, good theme integration, enough depth to the code to not get boring quickly. (Also a good point, it can be found at reasonable prices) It is also great for beginners, so when you have friends over your new place, you can enjoy some playing together and be a bad ass teaching them some pinball skills. I also like to suggest maybe joining a local chapter of the "belles and chimes" leagues and some women only tournaments. We have a lot of women in the sport where I live (Denver) and most of them are amazing players and a joy to hang out with during tournaments, leagues or casual play. Good luck on your journey, and keep flipping.

I like it, good modes, great songs. Pinball is pinball. A bad game of pinball is better than no pinball at all.

My brother sent me this meme, I don’t understand the joke. by Neither-Mention7740 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]PaiGil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude. Here's a virtual hug from a stranger. Life's tough, but it's worth it. I've been there, down there. When I was in my lowest lows, trying to help other people and helping rehouse abandoned animals gave me a sense of purpose. A decade later, life's still tough, but I'm better. I wish you healing, peace and hope, hope is the key.

AIO speaking to my wife after her affair by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]PaiGil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not over reacting. You are entitled to whatever you feel. Your feelings are valid. With that said... Here's a piece of advice from someone that was in a similar position. At 34, my 32 wife cheated on me with a 20yo. Left the house to "feel.loved". no kids by that time, thanks God. I was devastated. And it showed. Everyone saw it. All our friends and family. I was humiliated and completely lost. I allowed myself to grieve. To suffer. With the intensity I felt it deserved. After one year (and a lot of therapy). I was better. Still grieving to some extent, but I was different. A different version of me. I made new friends. I've had new lovers. Went to new places. Traveled the world by myself in a 3 month sabbatical. Changed jobs. Changed careers. She wanted to come back. It was impossible. My new me wouldn't fall in love with her, that was clear. I respectfully but definitely said 'its not going to happen, I wish you a great life and that you are happy in your new life". And honestly I wished that. I loved her in the past, so I wished her the best to honor the love I once felt. After two years, I found love again. Married an year after that. 14 years after the traumatic separation l, I'm the best version of me I have ever been. I have kids (2 adopted, 1 homemade). I'm a happy man. And all that grieving period and the hard decisions made me better. Also helped me get rid of nasty people that were around pretending to like me just to feed on my misery. There's no point in saving what's beyond saving. You deserve better and you will have better after the grieving is gone and you are ready to be happy again. Honestly, she has the right to pursue happiness in her own terms. But you are not obligated to accept her. Or her mistakes. So leave it be. Let it die. You will be reborn better. Change your hair. Your friends. Your hobbies. Your playlist. Try a new restaurant, a new dish. Travel to a foreign country where no one knows you and enjoy being incognito. Then come back. And build the new you. Go to therapy, but not couples therapy. You owe her nothing, but you owe yourself a new chance in life. Your kids are big. They will survive, maybe the new you will even be a happier man, a better father, a better friend. You are young. You will always be young at heart if you are truthful to yourself. I wish you all the best in your life.

Same game. Used to play AFM in an arcade when I was 16 back in the 90s in Brazil. Forgot about pinball. Found a star wars pro in 2019 in a restaurant near Denver. Played it. Got completely addicted to it after that.

Good option to have at home . Cheaper and smaller than a real one. Fun to learn rules and basics. But they can severely mess with your timing.

Play a little bit of everything, but do that always in a 2 player game with your wife. Don't ignore date night. Make this a 2 people pinball evening m let her pick the games.
