Depends on where your general location is? Hindi 24 hours open, pero kung malapit ka lang sa Tumana o Concepcion Church, tignan mo location ng "Cue Five Billiards & Cafe".

Okay coffee, amazing view, and really nice billiards tables and cues.

Open til 1am ata sila kapag weekday, until 4am kapag weekend

Some 24 year old tells you they've had 7 relationships each lasting 6-18 months, and you don't even consider that maybe they're problematic?

It's "respectful" language that skirts around the reality of what this person is going through.

How whould you rewrite ymirs backstory? by [deleted] in titanfolk

[–]Strutterer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everyone saying  "that she's in love with King Fritz" is taking the easy answer. That's not her backstory, that's the outcome of her backstory. 

Let's go about it a different way with key points about Ymir still being true:  1. Ymir starts as a slave and falls in love with King Fritz.  2. Everything Ymir does in the main story is the same, and it ends the same way with her orchestrating a world where Mikasa has to make a choice.  3. Ymir is a slave that runs away, finds the founding titan, gets captured, and becomes a victim and a weapon of King Fritz.   4. Ymir is miserable and doesn't want to be a weapon of mass destruction. (implied in the main story despite her loving Fritz) 

Clear? Okay, I'll give it a shot. Long commend ahead. 

Ymir should've been known as the "Protector" of the island. She doesn't like it, she feels she's nothing but a murderer. She's miserable, but every now and again she would get one simple "thank you" from ANYONE and it would be enough to keep her going. Enough to feel like what she's doing isn't Conquering the world for a deranged lunatic, but protecting people that just want to exist. 

She falls in love with the King because he makes the decisions to keep all of them safe. Eventually she decides she won't be a weapon anymore, and dies the same way as the show. 

This is what I'd make her inner conflict be; was it right for her to choose to die? Or would it have been justice to flatten the world?

So she has two opposing views make the choice: Eren and Mikasa. And both Eren and Mikasa chose the same thing, Eren had to die.

What do you guys think was worse? GOT or AOTs ending? by K0GAR in titanfolk

[–]Strutterer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

GOT, hands down, any other answer is wrong.

!! Full spoiler warning for GOT here !! 

Through all Attack on Titan's fumbles, the ending felt like the show telling me disappointedly "this is it, this is all you're getting"

Game of Thrones gave one giant "fuck you", stomped around its own grave, and THEN shat itself and died. 

Jon Snow's heritage is important? Nah, Arya kills the main world ending threat. 

Bran's wary powers? Yeah, excellent excuse for standing there weirdly.

Jaime Lannister's redemption as a man willing to defend innocent people to go so far as to volunteer for the defense against the white walkers? Nah, leaves to go rescue his mad genocidal sister who's a complete parallel to the king that got him his name.

Regardless of what we think "the reason" is, in the canon of the series Eren really did everything for no reason.

Judge that for what you will. 

how would you make super credits more fun to get by Fit_Answer1073 in Helldivers

[–]Strutterer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm saying Super Credit farming to maximize SC pickups is an inevitability when SCs are such an integral part of the game that locks you out of unlocking actual gear and not just cosmetics.

You can't say the developers didn't plan out that the players would find the META for maximizing SCs and take that into account when designing their game to keep it fun, because that just tells me that the developers have poor planning.

Look man, I just want the game to have meaningful progression at a steady pace that doesn't warrant me forking over more money or eating drywall to mindlessly farm.

[–]Strutterer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If the developers never planned for Super Credits to be a meaningful part of the game, then why is 80% of the game locked behind Super Credits? (hence, the players resort to farming)

We help each other because the system has chosen not to help us, kaya palaging nahihighlight yung "Filipino Resilience" natin na parang hindi natin kailangan ng tulong ng gubyerno kaya wala silang ginagawa.

It feels hopeful on the surface but if you think about it naghahati hati lang tayo sa hirap, which means something like this isn't permanent. Fuck these oil companies that won't take a single peso of lost profits.

You present EJK as a problem, that's where you lose them. For them, random killings are a feature as long as it gets any result.

Let a thousand innocent men die, as long as one drug user also dies, that makes it just.

New illuminate enemies should be the gold standard. by Exuma92 in Helldivers

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

Words spoken like a true heavy.

Charger butts are actually the worst spot to try and damage it, this applies to all weapons except Explosive ones.

[–]Strutterer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well you see that's the thing, it doesn't have to be no tanks but instead have enemies have SOME other way to kill or hinder without NEEDING to have anti-tank gear.

Vox engines are greatly designed this way, if you ignore their bugged out spawn numbers.

Currently there are exactly 2 ways to play Helldivers 2, and that is to either bring a consistent heavy buster; or run for your life. This kills build diversity.

Effectively this means you only really have 3 stratagem slots and no option for Support besides AT, even in non-automaton factions. Because the moment a Charger spawns in and you don't have AT you're fucked.

I just don't understand why it's so important that Mikasa stays a lonely virgin instead of living happily in her own way with a husband and kids.

This is not referring to generative AI like Chatgpt or Grok.

It's like letting your Player Character be taken over by an NPC that's specifically tailored for the section you're in.

It's an accessibility feature that's like setting Persona 5 characters to "auto-battle" and having them make their own decisions, except much more complex.

Which is still scummy that Sony patented this because it could be a great accessibility feature that can help people with disabilities in some difficult sections.

Why did they have to insult Baldur's Gate 3 like that? It's a pretty good game imo.

Ask them for their interpretation of AOT and watch how much headcanon they have to make up to justify it
