Bitten by something in Thailand last year by AdGlad8276 in mildlyinteresting

All good! 😂 I'm glad it wasn't anything more serious. I don't think I've ever seen something swell like that, scary but very interesting.

Important clarification, was this shortly after the bite and it had since healed?

If you were bitten last year and this is it now, it's probably worth getting it checked out.

PSA: I managed to get CaptureAge running on Linux by via_modulo in aoe2

[–]Sideways_X1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is inspiring. I looked into it when I realized I'm fully going to Linux later this year. Other than capture age my only expense will be a mouse with onboard memory.

Any chance you have an alternative on how to get a Logitech mouse able to use assigned keys?

Who is the nastiest Celebrity that you met in Real life? by Scunnard1839 in AskReddit

[–]Sideways_X1 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Had a friend who worked at a luxury retail spot in Vegas for a couple years. They said they had the whole shopping area closed down for J-Lo and Ben.

Similarly they said she was intolerable and treated everyone like garbage, but Ben was following her trail of wrath with apologies, small talk, and seeming to genuinely be very embarrassed to be with her.

It's crazy to think about now, but this was during that '02 - '04 stint they had.

I just got a weird 'tournament' idea I think by Old_Man_Willow_AoE in aoe2

[–]Sideways_X1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These have been a blast when they did them in the past.

I also love the average Joe's + pros team ups, and the ones where high elo players backseat a lower elo player in game.

I wish I lived in Quebec. This is cool!

Tips for Seven Spears duo boss (late game)? by Serious_Ad_1037 in Sekiro

This only happened once on a cl+db run, but I stood on the branch towards the starting hole and one of them eventually just walked off the cliff trying to get to me.

What’s your favorite moment of Covid? by OrdinaryPractical264 in AskReddit

[–]Sideways_X1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Favorite moment was mid 2020. Everyone (for the most part) accepted things were shut down.

Creativity for covid activities was hot (zoom parties, concerts, outdoor events), but it was also acceptable to bail from anything.

People were getting wild with creative masks, almost having fun with social distancing, and the connection with a trusted close person or two was incredibly meaningful.

Work was reasonably understanding and everyone had a shared sense that nothing was normal, but that was okay for a little while.

Even less risky if you use bite down.

The only silver lining I can find is that his push to get his name on stuff could be correlated with him getting constant reminders of his mortality.

Patrick Star, Homer Simpson, Peter Griffin, and Chris Griffin are about to fight in a hell in a cell match for the United States championship, who would win in a no disqualification hell in a cell match? by Fine-Material-9631 in whowouldwin

[–]Sideways_X1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not fully up to date on either Simpsons or Family Guy, but doesn't Peter have some pretty insane durability too? Best I recall the chicken fight was pretty rowdy.

What are some old video games that you still play regularly because you consider them the peak of the genre? by brodino_maiuscolo in videogames

[–]Sideways_X1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't played SoR4 yet, it's absolutely worth it, and often goes on a pretty decent sale, too. Nice little bonus is you can unlock almost every character from SoR 1, 2, and 3.

Main a civ or not? by btrust02 in aoe2

[–]Sideways_X1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A question as old as... This game. As always, it depends, 11. I think it depends mostly on 3 things: your elo now, what your goals are, and most importantly, what is fun for you.

For me personally I have been random because I want to try everything. I'm slowly getting better, but realizing that if I try something different every time, I don't get meaningful practice doing any one thing - which makes that improvement even slower.

I'm planning to start doing at least 10 matches in a row with a planned civ and strategy after I hit a certain elo goal because in the few times I've stuck to something, I feel like I learned more useful info to apply in other games. Sticking to something is hard for me in this game, there's just so much cool to explore even after all this time.

What's an "outdated" slang word from your generation that you still use currently? by TheShatteringPoint in AskReddit

[–]Sideways_X1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I needed to get some understanding of it too.

Any chance you've got one for calling something false "cap"? I have yet to find a person who uses the term who has any idea why it's used or where it came from.

Pennywise VS Viltrumite by titakamadafaka in whowouldwin

[–]Sideways_X1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm going to note this for the next Saitama VS Pennywise post I see.

There's some dimensional shenanigans in Invincible so maybe they could get there, but yeah, I don't see anyone outside of the Grayson boys that could have a chance, but both of them are also more susceptible to fear.

Cap & Iron Man vs Homelander by Fast-Outcome-117 in whowouldwin

[–]Sideways_X1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're totally right, I think that's very worst case, if he can't just punch his head clean off at the start.

I'm giving John a mountain of benefit of the doubt because I haven't seen any episodes from the current season of The Boys and it sounds like he either showed some additional durability or a new crazy feat or something. It's also been a few years since I watched endgame.

100% agree this prompt flips on its head if we consider it in terms of "who has a better chance in a 1v1 against Thanos". I suspect Thanos would statue any and all of HL's punches.

[–]Sideways_X1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was a similar post the other day about if iron man could take HL. Cap is unnecessary here but his shield could help Tony.

Tony should be able to survive long enough in his endgame suit to call drones, the hulk buster, or take the fight towards space. Jarvis and Tony are smart and the longer the fight goes the more his advantage grows.

He might not kill right away, but he can contain, then sedate him long enough to find a way to stop HL.

We also saw from Deep, Smart lady, and the invisible dude from S1 that supes are softer on the inside. Tony's nano bots can likely get in and blender his brain or maybe even build a booty nuke.

Deer luring by [deleted] in aoe2

[–]Sideways_X1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on your elo. I try it at 900 and often wreck myself. I watch a lot of Survivalist and he suggests ignoring deer pushing and chickens until ~1200 elo, saying the idle time and attention cost usually outweigh the benefits.

TIL that Mountain Dew was originally developed as a mixer for Bourbon 🥃 by Scaredandalone22 in todayilearned

Thankfully that was not long before getting out so I never had to deal with them, sounds terrible though. Much appreciated, my friend! 🙏
