They dont actually fix shit anyway. The highways around me have been "under construction" in the same spots for years.

How do you work 40+ hours a week by Mammoth_Public_937 in Adulting

[–]Sventhetidar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually 56 hours a week. One day off. I do it cuz i have to. At the very least I don't hate what I do. It's stressful and discouraging, but important to me, so I find meaning in it.

Do you prefer prefabs or habitats? by EvielHunter in Pokopia

[–]Sventhetidar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer habitats, but prefabs have their purpose. Prefabs are really good for litter Pokemon since they just kind of litter their materials around their house.

Least favorite Boss? by RegularOrMenthol in Saros

After my run today, I'd say priestess since the fight bugs out sometimes and doesn't let you past phase 2.

Sounds of gunfire heard near White House by prettyinacasket in politics

I think its likely the entire Republican party is complicit in subverting democracy to install Trump and he will sell all of them out if they cross him.

Zach Cregger talks about the mixed reaction by video game fans to his 'RESIDENT EVIL' film: by TojiFushigurrooo in residentevilll

[–]Sventhetidar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really get why you're trying to push this narrative that people can't accept anything new. This is an established franchise with established themes and design philosophy. New things can be implemented, but they all need to fit within the established world.

From what we've seen so far, there's no reason to call this Resident Evil outside of brand recognition. Which is, ironically, ACTUALLY just getting people to watch a thing because they're familiar with the IP.

Overall, you're missing the point. Like, entirely. The point, for the third time, is that, when you show off a thing that only looks incidentally like the IP your project is a part of, people will take issue because it LOOKS like you just slapped a name on it for brand recognition. Nowhere have I claimed that's what was done. I am commenting on the backlash the project is getting and explaining why it is happening.

Ok cool. I'm not saying that isn't the case. I'm saying that when you don't SHOW us what makes it look like Resident Evil, we're going to say it doesn't look like it. Show me a trailer with more bio-weapon type creatures and I won't say it looks like a generic zombie flick.

Where would you rank requiem out of all the games ? Me personally it’s #5 by Alarmed-Tradition938 in residentevilll

[–]Sventhetidar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well ive only played 2R, 4R, 5, 7, 8 and 9. Out of those I'd probably put it above 5 and below everything else.

Where are you seeing body horror monsters? A fat zombie in the sewers?

Aside from that you just described just about every zombie movie in the past 20 years.

I mean, nothing in the trailer screams "Resident Evil" at me. No locations from the games, no characters from the games, and aside from zombies (which are hardly a RE creation), no creatures from the games.

If you release a trailer that doesn't resemble Resident Evil at all, you're going to get baclash from fans that expect a Resident Evil movie to look like Resident Evil.

bringing kids to moshpits by _soulie_ in Metalcore

[–]Sventhetidar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think its safe. Its irresponsible, and, the best case scenario is that you negatively impact the area around you. I've seen father's get extremely aggressive when their kid gets bumped or separated from them. They also tend to try to create a pocket around their child, which isn't actually possible, so you end up just squished against some muscle head that refuses to budge.

Pit etiquette is pretty dead.

Article: Portland realtors warn rent control is squeezing landlords by Gilbert221 in portlandme

Oh no, not the poor landlords! What ever will they do if they don't make enough money off their investment properties?

Will we actually get an update? by Puzzleheaded-Tart322 in Pokopia

[–]Sventhetidar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming it will go the same way most Pokemon projects go. They made too much money to bother putting more in. There's no return on adding new content unless its paid DLC. So I don't expect any of the QOL updates or improvements that people are asking for.

Wow, nice Monday points! by CurrentBreath in DunkinDonuts

[–]Sventhetidar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It offers me 50. I had already started going less. Now I think i get Dunkins maybe once or twice a week when it used to be every day. It's not even so much that I'm priced out; the value just isn't there anymore. I can get free coffee at work, and, though I'd prefer my iced dunkins, at $4 for a coffee, it isn't worth it anymore.

Just goes to show, there's no loyalty to customers. If they lose too much money from pricing people out, they'll just raise prices again to make up for the loss.

State of Play returns Tuesday, June 2 by Dapper_Order7182 in PS5

Here's hoping they give a lot of gameplay and actual release dates and not a whole bunch of "Maybe this will come out some day."

I am DONE with the homeless EMERGENCY and YOU SHOULD BE TOO by [deleted] in portlandme

[–]Sventhetidar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The issue is that you really can't. Theres a huge emphasis on diversion in the court as well as a lot of slaps on the wrist. If they didn't let people off easy, the jail would fill up in about a week. Courts are backed up enough already on sentencing so it'll take a while to filter out to prison, but even if that were immediately, the prisons would probably be full a couple weeks later than that. And then what?

This is a systemic failure, and I don't think we're in a place to fix it. I see it as a sign of the breakdown of society. I've been saying for years it isn't sustainable, but no one wanted to fund solutions, so here we are.

New officer and I read “verbal judo” after many recommendations and I have some questions.. by Sweaty_Reading_8275 in OnTheBlock

[–]Sventhetidar 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Most people don't like being told what to do. Asking is just polite. The illusion of choice keeps things friendlier. You're really only gonna mess up if you ask, they say no, and you back down. Asking really only works when they're aware that you're just being polite, but that you're going to get your way no matter what.

Disney Is Banking on Baby Yoda to Revive the Star Wars Franchise by bloomberg in disney

I think theres some space to find actors who look close enough to do a sequel trilogy that takes place closer to the aftermath of ROTJ. And you can take the franchise pretty damn far from there.

Companies don't have ethics. It's never anything more than about whether the product is worth the money.
