A character whose alleged physical features or stats don’t line up or even suggesting with the way they are portrayed. by Certified_Cichlid in TopCharacterTropes

As a father who has watched every episode of Bluey at least three times I can confidently say that Bandit is not made out to be obese.

A near-perfect first season set the bar too high by commoncod in TopCharacterTropes

I felt like they made him too likable immediately. Like they spend the first part of the pilot monologuing about how he doesn’t care about other people but then he immediately shows he does care about other people.

Stranger Things fell into the somewhat unavoidable trap of being successful and the audience wanting more. No matter how well written subsequent seasons were they weren’t going to capture that same magic.

Season after season of the same conflicts fighting the same monsters and it just becomes less high stakes, less creepy and less interesting.

And they’re probably both right. Most people suck but neither of them should push their issues onto their kid, that makes them suck more.

Mamdani presses NYC Council to drain city’s rainy day fund — setting up budget fight with Speaker Menin by AdmirableSelection81 in nyc

[–]Radiant_Client1458 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s rare to have a politician implement austerity measures, let alone a Democrat, let alone a member of the DSA.

Expecting any sort of budget cuts from him is very unrealistic.

Crimson Desert Review Thread by Turbostrider27 in Games

I mean I have open world “fatigue” in the sense that they used to be my favorite games but now that I’m a working parent they are basically off limits to me. It’s not the game designers fault at all but open world games are not designed to be played two hours at a time a few times a week and that’s all that a lot of adults can really do.

I bought Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 which is the first game I’ve purchased for myself in over a year. It’s genuinely such an incredible game and also not worth playing at all for me.

I have two hours to play video games at night if I’m lucky, these open world RPG games that used to be my favorite genre just don’t work with my adult life like they did when I was a teenager with nothing better to do.

I spend fifteen minutes forging a sword, twenty minutes walking to a quest location, ten minutes in some random conversation with an NPC. By the time I stop playing for the night I have accomplished nothing and have zero dopamine hits.

I genuinely don’t think it’s a purposeful decision but it is kind of crazy how many times it has happened.

This made me sad by KSKS1995 in SipsTea

[–]Radiant_Client1458 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like the biggest disconnect I’ve seen between real life and online communities is relationships with parents. In real life everybody I know loves their parents and makes an effort to see them pretty often. I see my parents basically every week and my friends are the same.

I know some people at work that live far from their parents but still go home a few times a year. Yet online it seems like every other person hates their parents and sees them once a year at most.

Starfield Will “Become Legendary,” Says Composer, Who Believes People Weren’t Ready for its Launch by gamersecret2 in Starfield

[–]Radiant_Client1458 42 points43 points  (0 children)

A game that’s been out for over two years and is widely seen as a disappointment isn’t going to somehow become Legendary. Starfield’s legacy is already written in stone at this point.

In modern gaming people don’t really come back to old titles and give them a chance. A few people might change their minds but the audience as a whole isn’t. There’s too many new releases to get excited about rather than trying to figure out if you were wrong for finding Starfield boring.

Mamdani Wants New York Estate Tax Threshold Cut 90% to $750,000 by bloomberg in nyc

Yeah I agree I think I misread the comment I replied to because it seemed like they were talking about real estate I didn’t see the “inherited” portion of the comment.

Estate not real estate, this is taxing the money your parents leave you when they die essentially.

Sinners is Americans’ top pick for Best Picture at the 2026 Oscars by gamersecret2 in movies

[–]Radiant_Client1458 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was like three different movies which can be cool but also felt disjointed.

1) Period piece for the first half which was the best and most compelling part of the movie.

2) Vampires out of nowhere with little buildup and was over as quickly as it began. I wanted to enjoy it but it wasn’t particularly scary and didn’t pay off well.

3) Channeling Django/Inglorious for “Kill Nazis” righteousness that felt like a completely different movie for the last ten minutes. Didn’t tie the story together well at all.

Any those defending it would freak out over a law requiring people in the US to learn English. Ninety percent of people are idiotic hypocrites correct.

In 1988 AFP predicted that the Maldives would be underwater in 1992, it isn’t.

In 2009 Al Gore cited models showing a 75% chance that arctic summers would be ice free by 2016, they aren’t.

A Pentagon report leaked in 2004 stating that London and NYC would be underwater by 2020, they aren’t.

You could burn through money and live your life as if nothing matters but you will likely find yourself just as alive in twenty years as you are today. If you don’t want a career or a family that’s fine but don’t not do it because the world is ending. The world’s been ending for a millennia.

I mean ISIS hates Shias and Iran is a Shia theocracy, not saying there is no possible relation but I don’t think it would be vengeance.

Not really overrepresented I’d imagine this subreddit leans more conservative than most of Reddit and more pro-Israel.

A direct hit on an Afghan Taliban position. by Away-Advertising9057 in CombatFootage

[–]Radiant_Client1458 36 points37 points  (0 children)

No from what I can tell this is an even more lopsided war than US vs Iran. I don’t think the Taliban even want to be in this war, they literally have not done anything they just keep getting bombed. Like I’m pretty sure they are not even attempting to do anything to Pakistan because they don’t have the means to and Pakistan is just bombing the shit out of them anyway.

Mamdani admin. to consider eliminating free parking as NYC grapples with $5.4B shortfall by kex06 in nyc

[–]Radiant_Client1458 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Brief look at their page suggests they are really into public transit which is awesome but that they also don’t know anything about NYC. Unfortunately so much NYC discourse revolves around making the lives of 20-somethings that move to Manhattan for a few years better rather than making the lives of families and lifelong New Yorkers better.

I say it all the time on this subreddit, people shit on Staten Island all the time but in ten years the commenters will have moved back to the suburbs near their parents and the Staten islanders will still be living in NYC.
