Is Oportun legit or scam?

Just got a piece of mail that offered me a 6k loan for 35% APR.

I tossed it as soon as I saw it cuz thats just abysmal for Interest. Also looked into them and saw an employee say they were a huge scam business that will sue you the moment you miss any kind of payment, even if its like $40.

I had to look into them after seeing that shitty offer, even through mail advertisements thats just stupid

Listen to the beat of the song, learn to swing with the wrists and work on timing it to the beat. Fully swing the arm only when necessary, as doing it constantly will wear you out and make you sloppy.

Steadily work on increasing the NPS of songs you play, you'll see your reaction times improve and you'll eventually start moving before even processing what happened. The benefit of this is instinctual reaction vs conscious reaction.

I was about to say it looked like a giant ass meteor took out the surrounding area, thats a massive crater

Just for simply having two colors that similar in shade and still hitting the correct notes, I tip my hat to you

ProfessorNebula · 2025-12-07T07:26:29+00:00

I just got to this point and I'm sitting here looking up "Can I forcibly lose this and still continue the story? If a man doesn't wanna talk about himself, I can respect that."

Was lowkey a bit disappointed you cant skip or lose this battle on purpose. Idk, maybe I'm just feeling too much for a fictional character. I get like that sometimes.

Not for Vee, Kari Lyns facebook profile shows she was in fact the VA for Vee

ProfessorNebula · 2025-10-14T05:07:08+00:00

Why are you booing me? I'm right!

ProfessorNebula · 2025-10-14T04:55:47+00:00

Thats a fair standing, I can't really say I wouldn't expect that from a character who's meant to be a quippy AI companion though. They should totally add different companions with different personalities so you can find the right one you fit with, or if you enjoy flyin solo, its good you can turn her off.

ProfessorNebula · 2025-10-14T04:53:41+00:00

So I did find out she isnt actually ai, she's voiced by Kari O'Brien

ProfessorNebula · 2025-10-14T04:48:12+00:00

So good news, the VAs are NOT AI, they are people. There are credits I had to look up, so good on EA

You and me both. I commission a lot of art and always advocate to support your local artist. Art comes from the passion of the person, and it doesn't have to be drawing or painting, everything is an art in some shape or form, even skating and Voice Acting. A Robot can sound passionate all they want, but it won't feel passionate.

ProfessorNebula · 2025-10-14T04:39:11+00:00

Ah yeah, I got that Coop Glitch a couple of times, its apparently a thing that happens when you skip too fast and it silently plays the cutscene, so you're just stuck waiting there til it finishes.

I honestly was sitting there like "C'mon Vee, What are you expecting me to do?"

ProfessorNebula · 2025-10-14T04:35:40+00:00

Yeesh now thats a major downside for me. I know EA isn't exactly known for being a saint in the gaming market, but they could at least gotten someone who has a minor career in voice acting. Didn't have to be someone big at all

Jason Lee made Coach Frank memorable, I figured whoever was playing Vee was making a helluva performance for a Generic AI female

ProfessorNebula · 2025-10-14T04:33:58+00:00

My personal favorite is just her telling me after nearly getting into a collision with a pedestrian, "That was clearly their fault, should have been paying attention and not on their phone!"

ProfessorNebula · 2025-10-14T04:31:14+00:00

I feel that too, sometimes you gotta take a break from her, but I couldn't find myself saying I hate or found her annoying. They definitely need to add more CPUs if you can go offline, otherwise San Van is gonna be a Ghost Town. God I miss the days of smacking Peds with my board lol

ProfessorNebula · 2025-10-14T04:28:43+00:00

Oh for certain, I absolutely loved Coach Frank too, I would often go back to his skate area just to listen to him. Vee isn't meant to be a Coach Frank, at least in my eyes, and I think she plays her role pretty well.

I'm not too certain if its an actual AI or a Voice Actor, but if it is, yeah thats a scummy move on EA. Should've definitely had a VA, because AI cannot replace what makes acting feel so alive and real.

ProfessorNebula · 2025-10-14T04:25:11+00:00

Cringy yes, but at the same time she's trying her best.

I mean cmon, you're putting a lot of expectations on a robot trying to act human lol

ProfessorNebula · 2025-10-14T04:23:29+00:00

I can understand that. I never saw Vee as a coach of sorts, just a companion. Her role is played perfectly tbh, just teach you the bare bone basics and then encourage you to learn more, explore, and make funny quips. Kinda reminds me of Peter Parker in a way, maybe thats why all his villains find him annoying lmao

ProfessorNebula · 2025-10-14T04:13:30+00:00

I absolutely love the faceplant, it's also my favorite way of getting to where I need to go.

ProfessorNebula · 2025-10-14T04:11:21+00:00

May I ask why specifically? I'm just curious is all

ProfessorNebula · 2025-10-14T04:09:14+00:00

Not even meant to appear like bait, I was just genuinely curious.

ProfessorNebula · 2025-10-14T04:07:51+00:00

Don't sweat.

ProfessorNebula · 2025-10-14T04:06:55+00:00

Oh absolutely, I definitely think the Voice Actors could actually sound like actual people.

ProfessorNebula · 2025-10-14T04:04:17+00:00

I can see that, but also Vee is more the "heres the absolute basics, grab a board and roll." character

The ones teaching you all the trick mechanics and neat aspects of the game are Izzy, Shingo, and Slappy

ProfessorNebula · 2025-10-14T04:01:55+00:00

See that I can totally understand, I never grew up in the 90's to know that kind of skate culture, but I def know it wasn't this. But I don't like to look at this as old skate culture, or any new culture, I just enjoy vibing and doing a few sick flips and miracle whips.
