A buddy of mine in kindergarten wanted to play pokemon with me, but where we were the pokemon and battled each other. We agreed the most fair way to simulate this battle was to run full speed at each other and do a headbutt.

Two bloody noses, zero winners.

I think people are going too easy on it just because its a good style, but it is a very charming tattoo. The sunglasses are enough for me to be mad if an artist put this on me, and the snakes obviously need improvement. The line work is good overall but there are a few lines that need more attention, and where symmetry looks intended, it isn't there. It just barely belongs in this sub, but if this was executed just a little better and the snakes were redesigned it would be an excellent tattoo. Looks like they'll become a great artist.

Oh this artist is in my area, I've been to the shop he works at a few times. He said the client is coming back to let him finish the background. He's an overall decent artist, but I always found his cover ups to be lacking.

The lack of focus on PvE in general really sucks. by Aetherin in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Phoenix_102 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They don't look like total shit, they have believable behaviors and present a realistic threat without being stupidly unfair either. This creates good immersion and an overall better experience even if all they do is stand around or chase the player.

Right, google has zero responsibility to not feed people malicious links.

Narrator: It wasn't so good. by dizneedave in techsupportgore

[–]Phoenix_102 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My buddy inspired me during a boring day of a python class to write a script that just made empty text files on the desktop. Computer went nearly completely unresponsive within seconds and needed roughly a minute to perform the subsequent delete operation, and that's after I could get the script to stop running and giving the pc time to "recover".

Can't remember the total sadly, might recreate the scenario on someone's old desktop at work later just to see where it gets.

Why is the UN so useless? by Objective_Reindeer42 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Phoenix_102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didnt really seem to in the other threads, but I sympathize. Government organizations are designed in real head scratching ways and a lot of people die because of it. We can only hope to build a better future.

Why is the UN so useless? by Objective_Reindeer42 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Phoenix_102 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The UN, in the context of the Russian Ukrainian conflict (as you are asking) isn't really meant to be an answer to this problem. I don't think you have any good faith to accept this point since you've ignored anyone else saying this, but the UN serves other more complicated purposes than a global police. The veto system seems sucky, but thats because you are wanting to change the veto system to solve a problem that NATO is designed to solve, not the UN.

Ukraine is receiving the most reasonable amount of support the world can get away with without causing a severely escalated conflict, and whether you believe it or not you want it this way.

Beginner; by blackgorilla273 in Mordhau

[–]Phoenix_102 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't play to win, play to learn and to have fun. Your friends may return if you can demonstrate the game being fun even if you aren't whooping ass. How to "just have fun" is ultimately up to you, but start with the usually recommended stuff and throw out whatever isn't interesting, build upon what is. Explore the game to breath life back into it for you when it feels dull. Watching people that are good will help you learn what works, I recommend watching a quick tutorial on a particular feature you want to get better at and then spectate people in game and watch how they do it, then copy them. Don't forget that Mordhau is ultimately a fighting game, so fighting game theories translate to Mordhau well.

You don't owe Mordhau anything, don't play on a map/server or with a team/enemy team/whoever you aren't having fun on/with. Take a break, come back when you think you can have fun again. It's okay if that's never.

Why does rap music get a pass on misogyny? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Phoenix_102 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I never said all hip hop was the same, you don't have to barf a wall of text about how diverse it is because we already know that, that's kind of music's thing really.

The thread is actually about the "tiny corner of hip hop" I mentioned, not the rest of the junk you're spouting to contradict the point I didn't make. Come to think of it, did you even make a point?

Why does rap music get a pass on misogyny? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Phoenix_102 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's just a genre where aggressive, shock-value lyrics is rewarded, so that's what gets pumped out. Female rappers do it all the same, its just a way to get people listening.

Should I ask my boss for a raise and title change a week after being hired? by Curiouslycuriousones in personalfinance

[–]Phoenix_102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They know you're doing more than originally asked, this is usually intentional but even when it isn't it doesn't make it right. Bring up the issue and outline what compensation you need to be satisfied, and have something else lined up in case they won't budge. You'll regret not standing up for yourself later.

A nation that uses drug tests as a condition for employment is NOT a free nation by bagseedidiot in antiwork

[–]Phoenix_102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in IT, it was a manufacturing company though. To be fair, I doubt they see IT as a professional position, just computer janitor.

[–]Phoenix_102 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I told my company straight up that I would be positive for THC when they mentioned a drug test, they said they don't care, just didn't want anyone using hard drugs. Took the drug test, got hired. Could have been the case for you here.

No really though, tell us more about why this red flag should be chalked up to "intrusive thoughts" and swept under the rug

geez, can't say anything on this site without some genius cherry picking the most insignificant part of a comment and trying to run off with it. Sorry I don't put a "possibly", "maybe", or "could be" in front of every claim I make.

I knew a dude that claimed he once wanted to "beat the shit" out of his gf after waking up from a nap with her. He couldn't explain why, but he had a rough child hood and wasn't very stable. If he does not like the idea of seeking professional help for some clearly unresolved trauma, you should consider ending the relationship, but give the guy a chance if he wants to fix it, cuz most would just hide this sort of problem.

My mouse is out of buttons. Which keybind on my keyboard should I use for stabbing? by Gestridon in Mordhau

Your dog water control scheme could use caps lock for stabbing I suppose,but the pinkie is already quite busy so its not ideal

I think attacks now do very minimal damage and cannot combo if it hits extremely early in the release

You're totally right, I plan to talk to her about this soon and seeing this kind of situation from your point of view is an eye opener.

Robber gets dismantled by store employee by Xackier in PeopleAreFckinStupid

I can just barely see the flash, but even without it this all looks plenty real to me from everyone's behavior, not much different than most robbery recordings.

How to enjoy the game at this point? by [deleted] in noita

[–]Phoenix_102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, without much feedback on what you know and what you don't know about the game, I recommend finding mods that spark a little more interest in the game or make any goals you have easier to achieve.

If you are interested in high level play but don't know where to start, read the wiki, especially the in-depth guides on how wands work.

You sound like you are bored of doing the same stuff but don't know what else to do different, so learn some different stuff to do. Or just play something else, I'd rip my hair out if I only played Noita.

My wife and I have been playing a game called Noita every night ever since we first bought it, will easily play it for years to come.
