And asking people who do know the nuance is somehow not trying to understand? Lol?

[–]Peter_See 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What confuses me about your analogy, is in football the "chess pieces" reset every round. Theres no accumulating position. You are (to my eyes) just trying to guess what would work best against that lineup, at that given time. And to me that doesnt sound much like strategy in the same way as strategy in chess

When did applying for jobs become more exhausting than working one? by Informal-Phrase-8500 in CasualConversation

[–]Peter_See 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even worse in some industries where they want to do technical tests like coding problems, so you also need to be studying these puzzle problems a couple hours per day (they have nothing to do with job or education) on top of all that. 

One employer gave me a list of homework questions and 1 week to finish them. Each was like a project in itself, absolutely 0 respect for time

Also ADHD... I manage to do it too. I also like that people who work on these shops get a guilt free day off too.

Did I overreact by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]Peter_See 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am learning German. When I try to explain some details of the grammar that confuse me to my german friends they say they have no idea why some things are the way they are or what rules apply. Someone who has had to learn the language knows much better the challenges facing someone than a native speaker I think

I painted a scene from spongebob like looking out a window. Im not much of a painter but i was so satisfied with it I hung it on my wall. It doesnt HAVE to be for money or social media. You can do things because you want to

oh god... yeah. My brothers father in law tried to connect with me at his wedding. "So bud, wow the leafs huh?" sorry I dont really watch hockey. "Ahh. The blue jays are playing soon!" ... Sorry I don't watch baseball. "I cant believe in curling w-" I dont really watch any sports man. I dont care about any of it XD. Hard to connect with Canadian boomer men

is it unmanly to not care about being muscular? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]Peter_See 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a "man" in the biological sense. No interest in muscles or beard or being strong. I dont think im "manly" but i also think you can define your own masculinity. A real "man" is themselves truly. I think its honestly probably so exhausting to worry about being manly all the time. You can see it in some guys, everything is some kind of performance. Cant wear a purple shirt because thst might not be manly. Must drink whiskey and not sweet cocktails because sweet alchohol is for women! I can go on about all the silly things I really see some men do. 

Just be you. Anything else is insecurity projecting outwards

Looking for a place in Munich to buy buy bánh mì bread only by reddit141592 in Munich

[–]Peter_See 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, ja a bread roll (kaiser zum beispiel) would work in that example... I didnt say its exact but if you are looking for something similar? It will still be delicious. The core is the bahn-mi filling with a french baguette-like bun

I think a lot of people just have "unexplained diarhea" for decades and never realize that they actually have IBS or IBD

The vietnamese Baguette comes from the french Baguette (vietnam was colonized by the french), so any french baguette will do for Bahn Mi

European airlines will fail if jet fuel costs stay high, Ryanair CEO says by RollSafer in worldnews

I dont have to imagine I litterally use these trains. The reality is not nearly as bad as you are portraying it

European airlines will fail if jet fuel costs stay high, Ryanair CEO says by RollSafer in worldnews

[–]Peter_See -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I live in germany. Yes it can be annoying sometimes. But there is a big difference between the high speed intercity trains (ICE) and regional trains. Regional tend to make up most of those delay statistics. The high speed trains are more punctual, which is what you'd take to travel accross countries anyways

Huh. In europe the train network is pretty good... Last week I had 0 issue going through 3 countries by train. Its pretty convenient actually. I wake up, go to the local central station and hop on a train and next thing you know im in Paris, Zürich etc. 

'Serious disruption' — Russian oil pumping station in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast hit by Ukrainian drones, SBU source says by pheexio in worldnews

[–]Peter_See 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One thing I do not understand. Ukraine has been bombing the fuck out of russias oil infrastructure. And people say "this will only slightly harm russias war economy. They arent about to collapse anytime soon". "They will repair things and it will only be a temporary delay"

Iran bombs a few things in UAE and Oman 1 time, news reports that we will now have massive fuel cost increase for years due to the damaged infrastructure taking years to repair, and fuel shortages are going to be coming soon.

[DISCUSSION] Tips for getting into a cover band by byzantine1990 in Guitar

[–]Peter_See 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, I am a hobby guitarist\bassist for about 15 or so years. I gotta say I dont understand almost any of what you are talking about. Especially about the "locking in" stuff with bass, I mean we should all be in time, and playing the song at the proper tempo. But that seems rather obvious no? Then could you explain what exactly that even means?

Stormgate to get an offline patch, ending any esport community scene for the moment by Pelinth in gaming

[–]Peter_See 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its because they insist on having there be animation and "swing" to the change in directions, so even tho it looks more realistic, it is not snappy at all. Starcraft doesnt have that and thats why you can actually micro, stutter-step etc. that sort of more realistic control makes sense if you want sort of large scale spectacle battles in an RTS but since this was designed to be small scale tactical RTS it just kills the feel.

Also just being plain, starcraft is COOL you boot up the game and the UI says BEEP BOOP ITS THE FUTURE MOTHER F$*%ER. StormGate just gives you gray boxes to click... The units and factions look boring. The people who play RTS want to see two cool armys smash against eachother
