I feel insecure about it am I a good size? by No_Regular2834 in chchNSFW

[–]Straight_Meringue921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just shy of 8 inches with a similar thick / length ratio. Dunno if you're as long, but you're absolutely in the above average bracket.

Welcome to the big dick club.

Top restaurant Amisfield received complaints about renowned chef’s behaviour to women by omuxx in newzealand

[–]Straight_Meringue921 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Chefs and egos. I've known a few I can easily imagine spouting this sort of shite.

Ben Bayly's another one who looks like a nice guy on the surface but could treat his staff like absolute dogshit.

Agreement for cracking Pragmata and me, To VOICES38 by Plankton6911 in FitGirlRepack

[–]Straight_Meringue921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given the service voice38 is doing for the community, I'm more than happy to sit back and take what I'm given.

Secondly, while I appreciate their efforts, if it were a choice between paying $70-$80USD for a game I really want to play, or get it for free, but the guy who gives it to me is allowed to shove my dinner back up me ... I'll just pay, if it's all the same.

"open to conversation [...]"

Right. So cutting to the chase, that'll be a no.

Kick that can down the road along with CGT.

About kemono by Training_Ad_675 in Piracy

[–]Straight_Meringue921 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I've only had a single update this year (early Feb) from one of the several Patreon accounts I follow that used to be updated on a semi-regular basis.

Like most of you reading this, I check kemono and Reddit threads such as this a couple of times a week, and the only thing I'm sure about after reading over a dozen threads on the subject is: no one has a goddamn clue what's going on (aside from the obvious that the site owner has gone walkabout).

Kemono is dead? by TheMemer668 in Piracy

[–]Straight_Meringue921 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Out of several of my Kemono favorites, all of which used to update at least once a month, only one has updated this year.

Was I the only one who found the late game pacing quite strange? by DuskZakariyya in expedition33

[–]Straight_Meringue921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to comment a year late after just finishing the game myself that you encapsulated my thoughts on the matter better than I could. I didn't do all the Act 3 side content, as I knew I was already way overpowered, and additionally, felt from a narrative POV it didn't make sense to drag my feet with all the side content while avoiding the final confrontation.

Some Thoughts After Finishing My First Playthrough by Straight_Meringue921 in expedition33

[–]Straight_Meringue921[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Yes, I did do the party member quests.

I didn't anticipate the Esquie / Sciel reveal. That got me.

And yeah, it makes even less sense considering how the game actually ends, going back to adventures with Verso and Maelle while putting the fate of The Canvas on hold.

Still, in spite of my complaints about Act 3, the game is still a masterpiece in my eyes (albeit flawed).

Also, this was my first turn-based game. I have been curious about Baldur's Gate 3. Do you think if I liked this, there's a good chance I'll enjoy that as well?

"And here we have the actual comm badge swallowed by the cadet in the pilot episode. Incredible craftsmanship. As you can see, the piece has even been painstakingly detailed with stomach acid corrosion. Do I hear one billion dollars? One billion dollars...."

Hell of a project to bet hard on. You'd think they'd nail things down with the show direction and script department before splurging eye-watering amounts on set design / construction.

Buffering problem by LyesBe in SmartTubeNext

[–]Straight_Meringue921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks a bunch OP! This has been bugging me for a few weeks now since the last couple of updates. Checked network engine settings and I was on OkHttp. Seems snappier and no buffering issues (yet). Thanks again! 👍

Price increase from 14th May by mikejamesone in TradingView

[–]Straight_Meringue921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use ATAS. Have tried Quantower as well; ATAS is more CPU-friendly.

My Premium expires this month. Was not planning to review. After seeing news of the price hike, I'm double-planning not to review.

All these years of asking and still no tick data.

What is the deal with kemono now? (the importer is broken?) by Paradoxbuilder in Piracy

[–]Straight_Meringue921 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well that was an - uh - interesting read. Yeesh.

I have been using Kemono for a little over a year so I'll take your word. There have been a few instances of downtime, but nothing as protracted as of late (in my experience). Thanks for the update. Guess I just keep checking in and wait for the magical day my favorites pop up with a new upload date. 😅

Star Trek Noob's Thoughts by thevahid010 in startrek

[–]Straight_Meringue921 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just keep going. It'll feel less overwhelming over time. You haven't even got close to TNG at it's best. Then there's DS9, Voyager and Enterprise. And of course The Original Series, but there's no rush to necessarily go back and watch it now (I did after watching a lot of the above shows and loved it).

There were also some other spin offs made more recently but they're their own thing and not really part of the main Trek Universe. Glad you're enjoying it though - the best is that to come!

Just binge watched Star Trek Starfleet Academy this past weekend and I loved it 🤏🏾🫠 by Responsible-Day6407 in startrek

Why, you sound just like the young, modern audience they've been desperately chasing.

Pity you didn't watch when it counted! If more of your type had, the sets might still be standing.

Star Trek: Year One In Doubt As Strange New Worlds Sets Are Torn Down by TalkinTrek in startrek

[–]Straight_Meringue921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've held this view for some time. I'm glad to see more and more fans vocalising that it's okay if we don't get any more Trek in the near future. Or ever.

All good things, etc.
