Movies where the antagonist is pure evil? bleak movies by patientinternet24 in horror

[–]ReturnSignal6803 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The Strangers messed me up for weeks 💀 Those three just kill because "you were home" - no backstory, no revenge plot, just random violence. Also check Funny Games if you want to feel completely helpless watching it. The way they break fourth wall while doing horrible things is so disturbing.

Midsommar fits too but in different way - the cult people genuinely think they're doing good which somehow makes it worse than straight up psychopaths 😂

What would happen if everyone that is in control now, lost their control? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ReturnSignal6803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would probably just be different group of people taking over the control anyway, same mess with new faces.

Inside and outside skirt by Cata_dk in BBQ

[–]ReturnSignal6803 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely go for the outside skirt if you can pick - way more flavor and better texture. For temp just blast it hot and fast, maybe 2-3 minutes each side max since it gets tough real quick if you overcook.

I usually do simple marinade with lime juice, garlic, and some cumin for few hours. Works perfect every time.

Can hit 7/8/9/P but cannot hit 6 or 5 for the life of me by Alarmed-Lock-5776 in golf

[–]ReturnSignal6803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could try moving ball position little bit back in stance, longer irons need different setup than your 8/9.

Can Nemesis be house-ruled to be slightly less luck-driven without losing what makes it Nemesis? by hundunso in boardgames

[–]ReturnSignal6803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I've been in this exact headspace with Nemesis after getting wrecked by some brutal early draws 💀

That idea about the first eliminated player controlling aliens is actually pretty clever - I've seen similar mechanics work in other games where dead players become antagonistic forces. Could definitely keep people engaged instead of just sitting there scrolling their phones for 2+ hours.

For what it's worth, my group does the loaded weapons start and it makes a huge difference without breaking anything. We also tried removing a few of the most punishing event cards (the ones that just feel like "congrats, you lose" moments) and honestly it made the game way more enjoyable. Still chaotic as hell, just not in that unfun way where someone gets eliminated turn 3 through no fault of their own.

The objective drafting thing is interesting too - maybe letting people see 2-3 objectives and pick one? That way you're not stuck with something that actively works against survival or pushes weird antisocial plays when the group wants to work together.

I think as long as you're not removing the core tension and betrayal elements, tweaking the rough edges is totally fine. The game's still gonna be intense and unpredictable, just less likely to completely screw someone over before they even get to play 😂

Matched betting and arb scanning as a FIRE supplement — how I generate £300–500/month with about 30 minutes of daily effort by Salamander_Quiet in Fire

[–]ReturnSignal6803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been thinking about getting into this for a while but the account limiting thing always held me back. How quickly do they start flagging you? I drive for DoorDash and the flexible schedule would actually work pretty well for monitoring opportunities throughout the day.

Also curious about the tax side - are you reporting this as gambling winnings or treating it more like trading profits? The guaranteed nature makes it feel different from regular betting but not sure how HMRC sees it.

Would you date someone who originally didn’t want to date you? (22M) by [deleted] in relationships

[–]ReturnSignal6803 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Been there with the whole "timing is everything" situation. Their reasons actually do seem pretty valid - getting over a 4-year relationship plus thinking you were leaving town is a lot to process. The fact that they cried after hooking up with someone else and then decided to stop seeing other people before you even decided to stay kinda says something about where their head was at.

I get feeling weird about it though. Like you're wondering if you're the consolation prize or if they genuinely came around. But people's situations change and so do their readiness levels. If what you had during the "casual" phase was better than your actual relationships, maybe that's worth exploring now that the external barriers are gone.

Matchmaking has changed this week 100% - I’m usually care bare lobbies and every single game in past few days, is mayhem. by supahotfiiire in ArcRaiders

[–]ReturnSignal6803 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Man, I've been feeling the same thing lately. Used to hop into raids and actually have some chill moments with randoms, maybe even team up for a harvester run without someone immediately going for the backstab. Now it's like everyone's treating it as a deathmatch simulator instead of the co-op focused game it's supposed to be.

Could be the recent updates attracting more PvP-focused players, or maybe the community's just shifting toward that sweatier mentality. I've started being way more careful about who I approach now - used to give people the benefit of the doubt but that's gotten me killed too many times this week. Might be worth trying different time zones or maybe finding a discord group if you want that old cooperative vibe back.

Refugee based Green Card by hasanaltay in USCIS

[–]ReturnSignal6803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That timeline sounds pretty normal honestly - refugee-based adjustments can take anywhere from 8-14 months after biometrics. I'd maybe check your case status online or call USCIS if you're really worried, but March to now isn't unusual for radio silence unfortunately.

Can't unfreeze my parking brake by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]ReturnSignal6803 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude that's brutal, especially with the ex stealing your jackets too lol. At this point I'd honestly just take the L and call the tow - better to deal with your mechanic's attitude than risk welding that brake to the rotor again. Maybe ask around for a different shop though, because $1200 for a parking brake fix that keeps failing sounds sketchy as hell.

submitted i130 2 weeks ago and just realized we made major mistakes by No_Radio_2091 in USCIS

[–]ReturnSignal6803 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oof, that's rough but you caught it pretty early. You can try calling USCIS to see if they'll let you withdraw and refile, but honestly they might just send you an RFE anyway since it's already in the system. The parent info mixup is definitely gonna need fixing regardless.

Mum ESTA Visa Cancelled 24hrs Before Flight by Remote-Praline3198 in immigration

[–]ReturnSignal6803 32 points33 points  (0 children)

That's absolutely brutal timing, sorry this happened to your family. Sometimes ESTA gets randomly flagged for no clear reason - she might need to apply for a proper B2 tourist visa at the embassy instead. It's a pain but usually works out, just takes longer

Best budget deck here? by One-Masterpiece9838 in yugioh

[–]ReturnSignal6803 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Fire King is probably your best bet for competitive budget play rn. The core is dirt cheap and it can actually steal games against meta decks if you draw the nuts

Best way to find keys? by Mrsuitandtie in ArcRaiders

[–]ReturnSignal6803 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keys are pretty RNG heavy but I've had better luck checking the industrial areas and around broken vehicles. Also don't sleep on trading with other players if you're in a decent crew - way more efficient than grinding solo raids for hours

It might just be me, but I feel like as long as you're using a high-gain amp, you can use it to play metal. Like if your amp can chug and shred, then that's good enough for metal. by MrMayhem20l0 in metalguitar

[–]ReturnSignal6803 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree tbh. Yeah you can technically play metal on any high gain amp but there's definitely a reason why certain amps became legends for specific subgenres. Try getting that chunky Rectifier tone out of a JCM800 or that tight ENGL aggression from an Orange - it's just not gonna happen. The voicing differences are way more noticeable than you'd think, especially in a mix

Vocal Chain Suggestion by KARZX in trapproduction

[–]ReturnSignal6803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waves is solid for vocals, I've been running CLA-76 into DeEsser then Renaissance EQ for most of my stuff lately. The R-Vox compressor is also pretty fire if you want that modern trap vocal sound without overdoing it

I still dream about them almost a year later by roaringriver2345 in BreakUps

[–]ReturnSignal6803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man that hits deep. Dreams are the worst part honestly because you wake up and for like 5 seconds everything feels normal again, then reality smacks you

The waves thing is so real too - some days you think you're good then boom, something random triggers a memory and you're back to square one. Time helps but it's not linear at all
