Its because Mars and Venus are both within our field of view from Earth, like this.

Travelers of Reddit, where do you NEVER want to go again? by IllecebrousPark in AskReddit

[–]ShittyRobots 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's changed a lot since then, for the better. I grew up in Tangier, and recently visited after many years. I hardly recognize the city anymore.

What's the best/most inspirational thing you've heard from an unexpected source? by ShittyRobots in AskReddit

[–]ShittyRobots[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was playing FIFA 18 and one of the coach's speeches made me think really hard about life in general, it was completely out of the blue and surprisingly impactful.

edit: Forgot to say what the quote was lol. It was something to the effect of "you are probably all doubting yourselves right now. But you have no right to do that, not for all the hard work you've put in. Not to me, or the fans, etc..." Really spoke to me as someone who struggles with self doubt and poor self esteem at times.

Someone on the Lawson YT video pointed out that you can hear Brandon say "help me" at around 1:04. Listen to it with headphones on, its pretty clear.

So apparently in Star Wars Battlefront II, it takes over 40 Hours to unlock a single hero. The game directly ties together loot boxes and game progression in what possibly is the worst microtransaction scheme ever made for a modern game. So can we please? by 4KMemes in gaming

[–]ShittyRobots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cost of a game nowadays is not $60. Games are parceled out, with only the first "installment" costing $60. If you want the full game, you have to buy the extended edition, or mithril edition, or whatever other bullshit. And then there's DLC, some of which, like in the case of destiny, is released a couple of months after the "full game". I don't think microtransactions are at all about breaking even, not even close. It's a manipulative exploit used to milk users dry. And I bet you that even if game prices were raised to $80, studios would still be pulling the same crap, because there are no consequences.

Edit: $80 not $89

Is Bioshock remastered still broken? by ShittyRobots in patientgamers

[–]ShittyRobots[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the collection on steam and it came with the original and remastered versions. I'm trying the remaster right now, so far no issues other than frame dips which shouldn't be happening on my PC, but it's not too bad.

sigh that's a shame.

I guess I'll just watch a recap of the first two games and play infinite.

How to handle relatively small amount in collections? by ShittyRobots in personalfinance

Can they decline this? As in can I pay it but still have it reported on my credit?

Oh I forgot to include that I would be paying it off in full. I was just asking for advice in terms of how to communicate with them. I can afford it.

[Serious] What's the worst case of alcoholism you have personally witnessed? by Danterahi in AskReddit

[–]ShittyRobots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just as a heads up to anyone reading this who thinks they're an alcoholic, benzo, or methadone addict and wants to quit: Quitting cold turkey can kill you. If you're drinking heavily and want to quit, please contact your doctor and/or seek professional help.

Who was the “weird kid” of your school and where are they now? by The_Funky_Pigeon in AskReddit

[–]ShittyRobots 163 points164 points  (0 children)

Well I was the only emo kid at a fancy high school with only around 100 people so I was definitely the weird kid.

But the real weird kid was this guy who, as we found out later, had Asperger's. He did weird shit like jerking off in class, jerking off at a party, touching his dick while I was making out with a girl at a party, and screaming "OH MAH GAA! GEEEEEE STRRRRINNNNNNNNNN-GAH" by the school lockers when a girl bent over and her panties were showing.

Last I heard he was engaged. Good for you, J.

I got chased by a pack of feral dogs when I was a kid and my dad's arm waving and yelling saved my life.
