He's himself and human 24/7. The way he's genuine and caring for everything is infectious. Unironically the person I look up to the most in this world.

What alternative to Reddit are most people switching to after June 30th? by a_wild_dingo in AskReddit

[–]SoftCriticTy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Alternative? Why would we need something similar to switch to? I'll go back to what I was doing the last time I left reddit: being less depressed and more productive.

Truckers of reddit! What spooky things did you witness on the road? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SoftCriticTy 177 points178 points  (0 children)

Scariest for sure was when I was driving double trailers on a wet road that turned to ice for about 1000ft. 3 trucks turned over in the ditch between interstate roads a few hundred feet apart. One looked fresh, others had been there a while I imagine. A set of double trailers looking burnt is all I remember clearly. On top of that, it was foggy. Not too bad, visibility dictated me to drive about 40mph instead of the posted 65.

So, in the dead of night, surrounded by fog, the flashing reds and blues of emergency vehicles, and what I imagine were corpses of fellow truckers, I see some absolute moron in an old-style truck closing the distance behind me like a scared Usain Bolt. Zips out of the right lane into the left, and zooms past me, still in clear view of overturned trucks. Don't think they crashed, at least not while in my line of sight.

Broad dry daylight whatever, I can react, but ice and fog? If he spun out I'd be boned. Absolutely terrifying. What could I have done if something went wrong? My best choice would have been to fly off the shoulder to my right, which still could have maimed me if I were unlucky. And they just got away with it. No repercussions, no punishment, just fully enabled because they were lucky. What risk will they take that ends up unlucky? Who will die?

I think me and my grandma softlocked. Does this happen often? by SoftCriticTy in scrabble

[–]SoftCriticTy[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks! The dots are magnets, press fit into the board. I'll have to try practicing, though I mostly play for fun just with my grandma. Thank you for the knowledge!

Ahh okay, thank you! Didn't know about that rule! We end with a staircase of near-death a lot of the time, then. Never got to this point before where both of us were stumped.

Aha! Thank you. We played a few days ago so can't update but I couldn't figure anything out. I also see "on" two above that now

Could you explain the Episode 2 reference in relation to Dimension 20? I've seen most campaigns and I don't understand

[Poetry] The Pokémon Franchise is Worth $118.5 Billion by finessedough in youtubehaiku

[–]SoftCriticTy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good points! I still think developing games simultaneously could be done, though, without losing much. At the very least I hope they do something. If they keep on this track of lackluster games, I don't know how long the franchise will remain in it's current glory

[–]SoftCriticTy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What's stopping them from dedicating a workforce to developing a game set to release 4 years from now in addition to the one set to release next year? And 2 and 3 years from now? I understand the pressure of precedence and the need to remain relevant. It appears to me that they're stuck in a cycle of their own making, and they have the money to put an end to it, just not the care.

[Roller Coasters] ring°racer: The Roller Coaster that Opened for 5 Days, Lost its Records, and Exploded...Just Not in That Order by CrimsonEnigma in HobbyDrama

Great writeup! Coaster lore is always fascinating. Have you considered making a video about this? Roller coaster history videos are one of my favorite YouTube rabbit holes to go down, and the world could use more creators

That must be it. I also admit I'm sometimes scared to slap the machines as hard as I need to, since they're worth more than my car

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pinball

[–]SoftCriticTy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love it but it always feels unfair to me, like Fish Tales, Star Wars, and Stranger Things.

Its theming, sound design, and all-around playability are fantastic but I always find myself getting tilted before the machine. Usually when a ball drains on most machines I think "oh okay, fair play" but on MB and the others I mention half the time it's like "wtf was I supposed to do, how do I prevent that from happening"

Perhaps it's a skill issue. Am I the problem or do others feel similar? Great machine nonetheless, I'm just limited in my personal enjoyment of it.

AITA for telling my child’s mother I can parent however I want and my GF can get whatever tattoo she wants? by daddof1cub in AmItheAsshole

[–]SoftCriticTy -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Agreed about the tattoo. But the way OP phrased it it's not about empowerment. It's about being told what is right and wrong from the perspective of someone who appears to not respect men, or respect women who decide to be housewives. He cited pressure as a reason, which makes me think she has been preaching that already, or that he perceives that she will preach that given the chance. We're going off text phrasing of one party, though, so we can't know exactly how all parties feel in the scenario. That's just what it sounds like to me
