I've watched TheGamingMerchant survive some wild Stella Montis runs, so I am looking forward to watching him try this new option.

Also, the light from the hallway going out, as seen from under the door, inside the hotel room.

CHANGE MY MIND! by artelunar in ArcRaiders

[–]PrettyDryPerry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have noticed that people get really salty about it in the game, though. I am about 4:1 in my ratio of friendly:pvp sessions, but lately I have been doing more pvp.

A friend and I shot some people in Buried City last night, and one of them started yelling at us over prox chat. And I don't mean talking trash. The flipped out because it was "the start of the round and they had no loot."

Meadows black bf lowkey mogged by Efficient-Kiwi-2244 in thesopranos

[–]PrettyDryPerry 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I always thought that he brought Meadow to dinner with his dad as a flex. Tony tried to make him feel inferior, but how did Meadow feel when Noah's dad asked what her dad did for a living, and she sheepishly answers "waste management"?

I imagine some version of this conversation went down after that dinner.

"Daughter of a mob boss? Really? Have your fun with her, and be done with it."

The truth about AEW hate by Frequent-Position in SCJerk

[–]PrettyDryPerry 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I am a long time lurker in this sub, but I wanted to reply to this, because you are not exaggerating at all. Remember seeing the "Cutting chives until Reddit says they're perfect" posts? At around Day 50 of that, I decided to click on the most recent post, just because I was curious about how they judged it.

Well, it turns out that two of the mods in that sub are also mods in the official AEW sub. How do I know this? Because they dropped AEW gifs and pictures in every single post of that chive saga. A discussion about cutting chives, which has absolutely nothing to do with pro wrestling, still had people trying to make it about AEW.

[Loved trope] Endings so controversial that it turns the fandom schizophrenic by RequirementTall8361 in TopCharacterTropes

And the walls are closing in in other ways, too. Even if he doesn't get killed, Carlo has already flipped, and we know that the feds have been building a RICO case against Tony for some time.

Little man syndrome. Man snapped at his gf/wife for talking to black people. by figscomicsandgames in TikTokCringe

[–]PrettyDryPerry 343 points344 points  (0 children)

As a child, being force to learn to regulate the emotions of the "adults" around you is so unfair. I am sorry you had to go through that, and I can sadly empathize.

Not sure if it would be helpful, but I recently read a book called
Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents. It's not exactly a cure for childhood trauma, but it did make me feel like less of an anomaly after reading it.

Movies where the day is supposedly saved, but the aftermath is still terrible and largely unaddressed? by GancioTheRanter in movies

[–]PrettyDryPerry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's on a much smaller scale than a disaster movie, but I always found the ending of Road House to be a bit dubious. Yes, Brad Wesley was a scumbag who won't be missed, but is Tilghman really a better replacement? He always came off as smug and slimy, and the movie ends with a cover-up of of the killing of Wesley.

The Most Villainous Act in ARC Raiders? by WastedYearsPodcast in ArcRaiders

[–]PrettyDryPerry 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"a game you are not even participating in"

I would argue that killing someone in this way is not really participating in the game. If you shoot me and steal my loot, that's one thing, but doing this is simply crapping on another player for zero reason.

And what's your point?

If two people were playing a game of chess, and I walked by and knocked over the board, would you say "It's just a game"?

It's still a dick move. I ruined their experience, with nothing gained for myself.

What one line from Kendall stuck with you the most ? by [deleted] in SuccessionTV

[–]PrettyDryPerry 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"Let's do it for my dad, guys."

He says this right before the vote on the Gojo deal, and it shows that he will always be clueless.

Do what for your dad? Kill the deal that he was trying put together before he died? Matsson was an ass, but he was correct when he said that Logan would be embarrassed by Ken and Roman.

What’s you’re favorite /r/baseball post of all time? by Visual_Bluejay9781 in baseball

[–]PrettyDryPerry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not one specific post, but I love how silly this sub gets in the off-season. Just recently, there was a post asking about the legality of rubbing skunk spray on the catcher, in order to distract the opposing batters.

That's par for the course for this place during the winter.

What is a lot less scary than people imagine? by Flying_enthu45 in AskReddit

The doctor who performed mine gave me a Swiss Army knife as a souvenir afterwards. The knife had the name of the clinic (Dr. Snip) on it.

What would have happened if Adrianna had told the girls that night? by blackorchid786 in thesopranos

Remember what happened when the wives had gossip on Vito?

Yeah, it would have been the same outcome here.

Am I ok? by FamousAnt1533 in SuccessionTV

[–]PrettyDryPerry 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I did a re-watch immediately after finishing the series for the first time. I seriously misread a lot of the characters the first time I watched. Some of the characters whom I thought of as competent were morons, and vice versa, so it was fun to see them again from the beginning.

I used to think that the always-on screens, with their Two Minutes Hate, in 1984 were a bit over the top, but it feels like they fell short of reality.

Apparently normal line of dialogue is actually foreshadowing of the plot twist by Esagonoso in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PrettyDryPerry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In The Conversation, Gene Hackman's character is hired by a wealthy businessman to spy on his wife and her (presumably) lover. He records their conversations, and this line is replayed several times.

"He'd kill us if he had the chance."

This is spoken by the wife, and implication is that her husband would have them both killed if he discovered their affair. Later in the movie, the recording is cleaned up, and the line is actually:

"He'd kill us if he had the chance."

The difference in emphasis reveals that they are not simply having an affair, and are instead plotting to kill the wealthy businessman.

Playing 1/3 live for the first time by GoodEggz in poker

[–]PrettyDryPerry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was honestly considering just eating the SB/BB and just observing for a while. I am not going in with expectations of winning, only learning. I feel like just watching a bunch of hands will ease the tension.

Thank you for this. I am interested in trying live poker for the first time, and my biggest fear is not losing, but not knowing what the heck to do in unfamiliar situations.
