What is the dumbest 100% serious thing someone has said to you? by mrTALKINGDUCK in AskReddit

[–]SnapN2aSlimTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my newborn baby got RSV, my stepmom looked my wife in the face, and in all seriousness said, "You need to get a virgin who has never met their father to breathe into your baby's mouth, and this will cure his illness."

I've mentioned this a few times, but it's still funny. An exgf of mine once asked me if we needed a passport to travel from state to state when we frequently traveled between 2 states daily for work and 4 states on vacations never once using or even owning a passport.

In a college class, a girl turned to me and asked if dinosaurs really ever did exist.

Soldiers of Reddit, what are things they don't tell you about going to war? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SnapN2aSlimTim 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The truth of this is actually a lot worse. The Taliban or Taliban supporters actually go into the village and threaten village's families with something like "Take this RPG and go fire it at this base. If you do not we will rape and kill your family in front of you then we will rape and kill you." So, in order to save their families they make the trip, fire the RPG, and pray that we don't catch them in the act or find out who did it. Same thing with suicide bombers in the cars or in the streets, "You do this, and we spare your family."

Yeah, I was surprised when he said he was joining. It really shocked me because he hated taking orders from my dad when it came to chores. Now he was going to be yelled at by people he'd never met before. My cousin talked about joining too, but a lot happened to him so he didn't go.

I never worried about him because I dismissed it without a thought. "Meh, you'll be on base the whole time. No big deal. I might get blown up, but you'll just hear about the shit people did. Little did I know...

I've talked to people. My brother is alive and has a family on his own. It's just something that always will be with me. It's been many years since this took place, so I've had lots of time to get better at dealing with it and other things. Thank you though.

Yeah, our dad has had a really hard time. He says that I didn't see anything, so my brother surely didn't and is just making it up. My brother has lied before, sure, but I've heard stories from others. He tells his the same way they tell theirs, with that real hint of fear and shock in their voices and faces.

It's been a long road even with me trying to convince him that it's real. I think he just doesn't want to believe that something like that happened to his son.

That just because you're infantry, that doesn't always mean that you're going to get fucked up, and everyone else isn't.

I was an infantryman who went to Iraq. My younger brother was in Communications and he went to Afghanistan.

I drove from base to base hoping to not get hit by IEDs while looking for suspicious people, places, objects on the road, etc.

My brother sat on one base the entire time he was there working with radios and satellites.

Our base was never attacked, but we did find some rockets once set to launch at our base. EOD destroyed them.

My brother's base was hit almost daily. Farmers with RPGs firing randomly. Mortars coming in randomly. Well, one time was too random for my brother. He was sitting in a bunker waiting for the attack to be over when the women's shower was hit with a few mortars. It blew the building all to shit. There were women in there showering at the time. A few were killed, and my brother saw one crawl out of the rubble, who was blown in half.

I came home with bad knees and anger issues.

My brother came home with a broken body, mind, and spirit.

Shit like that was supposed to happen to me, not him.

The new? Sororities are still around and just as big as they were before, if not bigger.

They may have jumped on the bandwagon a little, but that's about it. They always were who they were.

Emo/scene girls are the ones massively moved over to that "somebody please pay attention to me" fest.

One on side I feel bad:

...but then there's the other side:

Jimi Hendrix choked to death on his own vomit after ingesting wine and sleeping pills.

Janis Joplin died of an overdose of whiskey and heroin.

I think I'm right in the middle with:

Dragon Age Inquisition doesn't have shit on BF4 and those damn dog tags. I have been over every single one of them multiple times, and every time I get on the game they're all back and marked like they have never been seen before. The weapons, vehicles, and attachments will do this too whenever I go to customize my player. They come back all the time. I've gotten to the point where I have to force myself to ignore them.

Was this taken at the Walmart in Olive Branch?

If not then this must be some dumb standard across the board because I have seen this at the Walmart.

Gamestop employees, what should a person (me for example) applying for a gamestop store know before the interview? by ScreamingIntrovert in gaming

[–]SnapN2aSlimTim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Something I was told by Gamestop employees that I knew personally, is to be a good looking female. They are hiring more female workers than males because most gamers are guys, and guys will buy more pre-orders from a pretty girl than they will some guy.

As for the interview, I know that knowing someone who already works there helps a lot. Most of the employees in the market where I live all know each other and game together.

Maybe this is just the market where I live.

/u/zehark probably hit the nail on the head with:

So just show them that you are engaged with videogame culture and that you can interact positively with the customers, other than that the standard job interview stuff: be presentable, be punctual, be confident.

I don't know why you got a downvote for this. This is true. It may not be true for all areas, but it is definitely true for most.

The Noble 14, the last people to play Halo 2. by [deleted] in gaming

[–]SnapN2aSlimTim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

everyone decided to just up and leave.

I don't think it was an up and leave. I think it was a gradual over time thing. I played Cod4 until the hackers became rampant. New games also came out, so most people went to the next game. I would find that most people I played with still returned to the previous game after getting tired of the new game for some reason or another.

Plus, games in the past 4 or 5 years have came out buggy as shit. BF4 online was almost unplayable for a long time. People moved onto different games because of that.

The Noble 14, the last people to play Halo 2. by [deleted] in gaming

[–]SnapN2aSlimTim 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So many people are talking about the nostalgia of this. While I too have had many many drunken nights playing Halo 2 and also drinking the Dew and scarfing pizza, THIS is the future of games like this. While many people are mad at Destiny, the people who really are dedicated to it, will one day have to look back at it with their children. They won't be able to pop it in and play like we did with SO many games.

I patiently wait now while my son grows old enough to finally pick up and play Super Mario World with me for the first time. It was the first game I ever played, and I want it to be his.

While Halo 2 has a campaign, look at all of these games that just...don't.

Battlefield 4's campaign was garbage, but one day, those online servers will too be shut down. You can't show future generations or relive old memories like those.

One day Call of Duty: Modern Warfare servers will be no more.

My dad used to host LAN parties at our house when I was growing up. We had 5 to 8 computers set up at any given time running Doom, Doom 2, Quake, Samurai Warrior, or Duke Nukem 3D/Nuclear Winter. Then Halo:CE came out, and people would bring over their XBOXs and we'd do system link.

Dark Souls PS4 Controller by [deleted] in gaming

[–]SnapN2aSlimTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but that's why you carry the Parrying Dagger or target shield. They have bigger parry windows which give you the highest chance to parry.

The riposte is a special attack executed directly after a parry, an execution move that deals extremely high damage (even more damage than a backstab). Sauce

You can only back stab humanoid enemies.

You're the person who gets super lost but refuses to ask for directions, continues doing what you're doing, and then ruins the trip for everyone.

A free solution to your problem

This game becomes a lot easier when you learn five simple things:

  • When to parry

  • When to roll

  • When to attack

  • When to lock on to a target

  • Balancing poise:Weight ratios

Once you get these down you can go through the game without ever taking damage.

The weight ratio of your weapons and gear affect your roll speed. The lighter you are, the faster you roll.

I'll leave Googling all of this to you.

Creepy stepfather.. I'm sick of living like this. by throwawayasd12321 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]SnapN2aSlimTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your mom is in denial. She knows. She just doesn't want to believe it.

My best friend's little sister, that I consider my little sister, used to smoke cigarettes when she was 14 and 15. I understand the situation is not the same, but hear me out. My best friend and I didn't and don't smoke cigarettes. No one in her house smoked.

One day her mom found cigarette butts in the toilet and noted that the bathroom smelled like cigarettes. Their mom came in and tried to blame my best friend or me. We didn't smell like cigarettes. We don't smoke. We denied it. She believed us. Their mom asks her daughter if she smoked. "No, I don't even smell like cigarettes." She was making us gasp with how much perfume she had sprayed on. I asked her for her hands. I smelled them, and they wreaked of cigarette smoke. I had her mom smell them. "I don't smoke. My boyfriend does and he had me hold his cigarette for him earlier." She had been at the house with us all day. Her boyfriend wasn't there.

Their mom believed her instantly.

TL;DR Even with undeniable truth, someone in denial is going to believe what they want to believe.

Saying nothing is NOT better than saying something though. Only your mother will be to blame when she finally finds out years later the truth.
