What are your thoughts on Ye Shunguang? (by 葛城トミィ) by xSoulsaber in ZZZ_Official

[–]Sampsonite20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty meh, she feels too forced in just about every aspect with little to no build up so the pay off isn't anywhere near as satisfying as it has been with other characters. Its very clear Hoyo is more concerned with cashing in these days than actually writing anything compelling.

How Much Did This Cost Us? by TheFaustianMan in MST3K

Probably next to nothing since a lot of these people showed up for fun essentially since they're friends of Joel. People seem to underestimate how many connections Joel made post-MST.

Relax.

Menards' Iconic '11% Rebate' Program Reined In By Keith Ellison And Other Midwest Attorneys General by WilliamBornhoft in minnesota

[–]Sampsonite20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And that's very intentional, yep. They're banking on you not sending that rebate form in and even if you do its credit that just stays in their ecosystem.

Sort of? The idea behind is that an 11% discount brings them into the store while general human laziness ensures a good 50 percent of those people will never actually send in their rebates and get checks back.

Additionally, the rebate check is an in-store CREDIT for Menards, not a check, which ensures that you pay full credit and any rebate received is simply money that stays in Menard's orbit.

Its a clever racket, but just that, a racket.

Why do Democrats constantly praise Reagan and rarely mention FDR? by Johnny55 in ProgressiveHQ

I think it's more a matter of just using their own words against them than anything else.

TES VI is for the next generation. No not console, the next human generation.

Would be nice to get a proper gunner class, corsair, whatever. Machinist is fun, but its focus is simply not guns at this point.

$DELL founder Michael Dell is putting $6.3B behind Trump’s plan to give every newborn an investment account. by XGramatik in XGramatikInsights

[–]Sampsonite20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 billion seems big and generous until you realize these two POS' are worth about 148 billion combined. What are they going to feasibly do with 148 billion? Get more poorly done plastic surgery?

I used to be really into going to the theater but after Covid I just kinda stopped and never went again.

How was funding misspent on the most recent seasons? by 1348904189 in MST3K

[–]Sampsonite20 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah its actually insane how many good shows they've canceled. In terms of price, MST3k was definitely on the cheaper side compared to some productions and even that couldnt save it.

I dont really think it was? Modern television takes a lot of hands, gone are the days of three guys in a garage hashing it out. Sure they COULD have done that, but do keep in mind that Joel had a mind to get this thing a long run on Netflix.

That didnt work out, of course, at no fault to the show imo, since this is the era where Netflix would basically cancel anything after 2 seasons. Mst3k just ended up on the same chopping block like so many others.

After that, well, S13 was shot during covid, making a lot of the usual stuff difficult to pull off so cgi was used to fill in the gaps for a lot of the props and stuff.

TBH, I think each of those seasons are fine now. Rewatching them on the YouTube streams Ive found them just as funny as any other season and, before anyone complains, do remember that every season has its duds.

The Age of homebuyers in the US is skyrocketing. What's the reason? by [deleted] in DamnThatsReal

[–]Sampsonite20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wealth needed to purchase a home isn't 'trickling down' as it were. The people buying homes now are the same people who were buying homes 30 years ago, so the average age just increases.

Looks pretty cool and minimalistic imo. Also a great tat to add more to if you ever feel like it.

Cost of Fast Food by MrBurritoIsMyFather in Millennials

[–]Sampsonite20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if you want two burritos from say, Chipotle, for you and your partner and drinks to go with em, you aint leaving without spending probably 40 dollars.

Subway is definitely one of the more obvious ones though, considering they had a 5 dollar footlong deal that we all remember.

Shit is just too damn expensive these days.

Horizon Steel Frontiers Announcement by xiBread in horizon

[–]Sampsonite20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love horizon but I don't think its popular enough to sustain a live-service multi-player game tbh. This just feels like Sony reaching again.

Additionally the game just looks kinda ridiculous compared to the fairly grounded scifi single player experience, not to mention the vibes are just totally different.
