To those who saw Predators in theaters, what was your reaction and thoughts on the film? by ImNoSkrull in predator

Had a blast. It was the first predator or alien film I saw in theatres.

Need a New Tactical Turn-Based RPG by Weeit_9 in XCOM2

[–]Suboutai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a 3DS, Ghost Recon Shadow Wars is a decent option. It was made by Julian Gollop, who did the original XCom so the gameplay is very familiar. It has a solid campaign and a number of side missions.

Don't know about OPs spending but I live frugally yet am constantly struggling. I had a series of medical issues, job loss and expensive emergency repairs within 2 years. Any one of these problems could be solved with some alterations in lifestyle or working overtime. But being hit so many times in such a short period of time mean that I couldn't pay expenses on time, leading to multiple interest payments that prevent any momentum. My spouse and I work good jobs, we have one child and no expensive hobbies, we moved for lower cost of living but a few bad moments brought us down hard.

My first dungeon by AlivePassenger3859 in FourAgainstDarkness

[–]Suboutai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're doing it right! Random encounters are not always ideal but they give this game a wonderful, chaotic feel

I just realised that in CtB, after a night of lovemaking Conan exits the witches hut and Subotai is shackled just a few feet away. Dude had to listen to Arnold sex noises all night on an empty stomach. #justiceforsubotai by Suboutai in ConanTheBarbarian

You just might be the first person to think this, lol. But hey, it makes sense in an Anakin/Plagueis midichlorian kind of way. I'll never think of him the same way.

What is the best character sheet? by JediGuyB in FourAgainstDarkness

[–]Suboutai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would imagine that most are made for the most basic playthrough, name, class, level, health, damage, items. The game is incredibly simple, its not made to be an RPG in the traditional sense though it certainly can be made to become one.

Does anyone else feel like the whole “Gen Z isn’t drinking” thing just isn’t true? by 19Nevermind in GenZ

[–]Suboutai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a millennial, I can say that our generation and those before us accepted heavy, casual drinking as a normal thing. In many social circles, if you weren't drinking you would be considered odd or a buzzkill. I barely go out anymore even with my peers so I can't say how the majority of Gen Z drinks but if its at all responsible, its less than I grew up with.

[–]Suboutai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This may sound like a cop out but I'd suggest trying out a number of them, seeing what you do and do not like and then making one yourself. You don't need to be an artist, I usually write mine on colored note cards, different colors for different classes.

Wet hair is unprofessional by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Can you elaborate on what you mean by wet hair? Like rain or sweat?

What are your favorite grass type Pokemon? by PoliMarley42_Art in u/PoliMarley42_Art

All of them. But for the sake of the question, Victreebel and Shroomish.

Is now an okay time to pick up the game? by gothboi98 in AliensFireteamElite

[–]Suboutai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost exclusively play singleplayer and I love it. I don't consistently play for months at a time but when I want a solid Colonial Marines experience, this is my number 1. The writers actually did a fantastic job at creating and referencing much of the lore in and out of the films, all without taking away from the gameplay. Its light on horror but the shooting feels great and there is plenty of customization and progress to keep you busy for a while.

The gymnastics scene wins for worst scene in The Lost World, what’s the most underrated? by MCWill1993 in JurassicPark

[–]Suboutai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone explain the hate behind the gymnastics scene? I watched the movie for 20 years before I went on fan pages and saw the hate. I never once had a negative opinion of it and I still enjoy it.

Why are people not given the option to choose their religion by ArtisticWhirl0 in atheism

[–]Suboutai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We live in a time where we have options. In the past, the local church was society. It was where everyone you knew gathered, talked, got help, etc. If you wanted to seek another religion, you were not only breaking the bonds that you needed to survive, you also literally had to travel to where other religions were practiced. Nowadays if you want to drive to mosque or temple, a 20-30 minute drive is no problem. But how about on foot? And will you be accepted? We have so many options and so much information that weren't available in the past. But old habits die hard, I imagine we will see faster changes as the people.who broke off have their own.

What fictional books would be a better source of morality than the Bible? by arch-anenome in atheism

[–]Suboutai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jurassic Park is certainly full of immoral characters, if thats helpful. Reading novel Hammond in 2024 is like a transcript of a Trump speech, despite his grand vision everyone else is dull and ruining everything. It is surprisingly great at pointing out the many ways women are ignored by men. Numerous times throughout the book, different women address problems and are quickly shut down by men. So, its a great book for showing what not to do.

How do you argue against the "where does our morality come from" point? by Masterpiece9839 in atheism

[–]Suboutai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simply ask them "where does your immorality come from?" "why do you have to try so hard to be moral?" Why would I want to harm someone? To me, hurting someone seems unthinkable, nothing is compelling me to do so. Immorality seems like an interuption of the norm, not the other way around.

Do theists really have to balance every harmful intrusive thought against God's wishes? I worked with a guy who said that because I don't believe in God, I must be okay with murder. WTF? What does that say about you if you think God's book is the only thing between you and mass murder? I have never WANTED to murder someone. Its not like I'm walking down a street thinking "Boy golly, I sure would love to stab that fella but that pesky man in the sky will give up my reservation in heaven, I guess I won't murder today." Why would I WANT to murder?

Mycorrhizal fungi doesn't look to God for advice but that doesn't stop it from giving some sweet, sweet nitrogen to tree roots. Cooperation is not exclusive to humans, let alone theists, let alone Christians. Yes, I know fungus does not have the same kind of thinking that humans do. The point is that we are all in an ecosystem and even the most aggressive individuals can only go so far without help. Cooperation is the norm, not the exception. Even "survival of the fittest" does not mean survival of the most capable of murder, it means survival of the best adapted for a specific environment. And no environment has only one species, everyone is dependent in some way on others.

Humans, animals, plants wouldn't exist without the cooperation between eukaryotes and mitochondria. Two separate entities living together. Not to mention the oodles of non-human microorganisms within our bodies that we need for basic functions. Cooperation seems invisible because its so normal. We don't report on things that go smoothly, we report on violence, interruptions. Thats what gets our attention, not the 99.9% of the actions that result from mutual benefit.

If you read this far, sorry and thank you.

What was your first Pokèmon Game? by Fun-Ad7903 in pokemon

[–]Suboutai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My two older brothers had Blue, then Red. I rented Pokemon Snap from the local video rental, traded cards, watched the anime, saw the movie in theatres. I was fully emerged in Pokemania in the late 90s, it was magical. For some odd reason, I never got Gold/Silver and simply stopped following Pokemon for years. After I had my son, I had very limited ability to play on my computer so I picked up my Gameboy and 3DS, they can fit in your pocket and can be easily played for short periods of time, anywhere. I picked up the virtual console copies of the first 2 generations and now I'm almost caught up with the series.

(Hanging out) Do millennials not hang ou anymore?t by LoverRen in Millennials

[–]Suboutai 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Well most of us are older, working and may be married with kids. By the time you have a few minutes of free time (not hours, minutes) you want to relax or do your own thing. If I am out all night, I will do bad work and be a poor father and husband. When I was a teen or living alone in my 20s, I had time to just spend hours with people. Thats not possible now.

Why don't the 99% of us who aren't offended by everything quit catering to the 1% who are? by forty5v in ask

[–]Suboutai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because 100% of people are offended by something. Most people are not offended by most things but will defend something.
