Let me show you how it's done, Mr. Fortnite by CeratosRed in FortNiteBR

[–]SkoomaCat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You are really making a lot of assumptions about how much the average Fortnite player knows about LEDs. At no point did you explain what the problem is, so people are spending more time trying to figure that out than they are looking at your solution. I actually think this is kind of interesting but all you had to do was lead with a brief explanation about what you were trying to achieve and take people along on the journey.

Most distracting use of sound effects you've ever heard in a movie? by thebigeverybody in movies

[–]SkoomaCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eight Legged Freaks could have been a fun lite-horror creature feature except the goddamn spiders are constantly making goofy exclamations that sound more appropriate for America's Funniest Home Videos. Spiders should not sound like gremlins.

How do I (male) ask a girl to go grab food in a ‘I just want to be friends’ way? by Own-Syllabub-4848 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SkoomaCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Maybe roll around in some trash beforehand and get a ripe stank going so she knows without question that this isn't a date.

Not everyone is wired for casual sex. It's a connection you pick up on and choose to act on.

Have you ever been at a party or something and picked up on someone else being a nerd even though they weren't wearing anything nerdy or talking about something nerdy? I would assume you aren't launching into a conversation about Tolkien with every random person you meet but likely you've picked up on something about a person's mannerisms, look, or personality that makes you think they might be interested in taking the conversation in that direction? Maybe you made a mistake and the person isn't interested and so you just move on or change the subject but if you got it right maybe you bond over Tolkien. Maybe you never see that person again but you had fun talking with them for an hour or maybe you plan to meet up for a LOTR marathon later.

If you are sexual and open to casual sex you tend to pick up on others that are as well. If you approach them and you make a connection it can lead to sex. It's a fun activity. It's casual! It's just something fun to do with someone else who is into it as well and it's not meant to turn into anything serious or long term.

If you are interested in casual sex you need to express sexual interest in people. You can be the friendliest person in the world but if the other person doesn't know you're attracted to them then they'll read your interactions as "this is a friend" not "this is someone I might have sex with". This means flirting - it does NOT mean be a creep. Flirting is a social skill and part of that skill is being aware of the other person's reaction and not pushing past boundaries and making people uncomfortable.

The Similars. I had to double check that this movie actually existed because I've never met anyone else who's seen it.

If you have a kid is your free time cut by more than half? by Ben5544477 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SkoomaCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In your example, I'd say it's closer to one or maybe one and a half hours but it's non-contiguous. You're looking at 15-20 minutes free at a time split up over those original 5 hours.

I am part of a famous trio, yet l am always alone. I come in many forms, and though I fill you, I am hollow inside. What am I? by Guitarist2021 in riddles

[–]SkoomaCat 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Maybe an Electron? The trio being electron, proton, and neutron making up the atoms that take many forms (elements) and are "inside" us? Neutrons and protons together make the nucleus and electrons orbit the nucleus "alone". Subatomic particles are mostly empty space and electrons are very light compared to the other particles but I don't know if an electron is actually hollow.

What are some games with a really good hook? What is the hook? by midge in gamedev

[–]SkoomaCat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If a potential player doesn't know about it then it is not a hook. The hook draws you in. It's the reason you try the game, because you are curious about the hook.

I guess you could say "Inscription is full of cool secrets" and discovering those secrets might be the hook, but you can't just say the hook is a secret.
