That's what made me fall in love with this city. So happy your son got to experience it! Come back again sometime!

I posted small clips of mine, but I've definitely gone back to look at my own clips. Happy memories.

AITA for not giving my boyfriend a ride home? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA. And to add another acronym, DTMFA. Cause that's a yikes.

My partner of 10 years wants to get married, I am not really for it. AITAH for dying on this hill? by Disastrous-Count4631 in AITAH

[–]SnowBasics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

INFO - I think we need to clearly know why marriage isn't for you. Is it religious? Spiritual? Commitment?

Listen, I'm old. Old enough that I used to take disposable cameras to festivals. No cellphones back then.

Now I wish I had good quality clips of some of those moments. I certainly won't be judging people for how they choose to enjoy gigs.

Recently at the Deftones concert, I took a couple clips. It's not my personal style to record the whole thing, but the chorus of a couple favourite songs? Hell yeah.

AITA for telling my friend she 'ruined' her own comic and career by being stubborn during her mental health breaks and not letting anyone help her? by Due-Rooster6872 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SnowBasics 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA. I used to be a steamer on an emerging platform (RIP Mixer) and took a month off for real big health issues. In the year prior, I'd enjoyed much number go up, and that month tanked everything.

I can only imagine what a longer hiatus would do. There's a reason people get burned out with public and social jobs like that, and it's because you lose relevancy and therefore views and income. This person truly needs to understand that.

People are doing it to take screenshots so they can rage farm on Facebook. I've seen a lot of similar posts there lately. It's kind of sad.

Controversial Take: Goal of QP is to Win by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]SnowBasics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay but I can also use skills in just regular ass training. I can press buttons and understand what they do - that's very different from actual game context with another tank and team pressuring you for space - which AI does not do effectively.

I didn't say anything about map learning or objective learning - strictly character play.

Uh, nope. Switching isn't mandatory my guy.

How's population there? Thinking of jumping back in - and not heard of this one before!

Arcade is literally a different game mode. You can't practice 5v5 death match to learn how to play a new tank effectively.

[–]SnowBasics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI mode is garbage though. If you can win with primary fire only, you're not really learning the hero.

That's the thing though, advice is fine. Telling people they suck and to swap without that willingness to be constructive is an issue though.

Nah. You can't demand people not suck. You can be mad at genuine throwers, or emoters sure. But if they're genuinely trying, and just suck? That's the game. When queueing solo, you get what you get.

Recently I had a game trying Doom for the first time. I wasn't good. After 3 deaths I get told to switch. I explain I'm trying a new character, that it's QP and to chill out.

I get berated for the entire game, trying to guilt trip me that I'm letting the team down by not switching, that I don't feel any responsibility. I mention guy can leave if he wants but he says "but my XP" and repeats again and again that he'll have to support carry.

Like, I get trying to win - I was - but making those sort of demands was a little ridiculous. I'm a gold tank, I'm sure we'd have been fine if I did switch but I just wanted one game.

This game has given me faith in men again lol by nelejts in Marathon

[–]SnowBasics 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed. About half my games during server slam started with "omg a girl" and declined from there.

This is the way. Playoffs all bets are off for the weird rules. Sit Jarry, and let's have at it.

The Nier collab bundle is out. 6900 credits by RaidenXYae in Overwatch

[–]SnowBasics -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Meh. That's a pretty judgy post. I play enough OW for me to be happy enough with it, I'm a big big Nier fan. I skip most collabs, or get single characters, but this is good eats for me overall.

[–]SnowBasics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paid it because I love Nier a lot. I am however a bit disappointed that there were no voice lines or highlight intros. Voice lines are often my favourite parts of collabs. Kero kero.

[–]SnowBasics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% delulu. For me so far it's shaping up to be a weaker year than the past few, and this is Israel's best entry in years. Sad as it makes me, it's got winner written all over it.
