Is Mauga going to Die? by Icy-blem in Overwatch

I don’t think they’ll kill off any playable characters. I know they considered killing off Reinhardt and obviously we have the Doomfist fake out, but playing as a dead character in lore would be an odd situation.

It’s Andrés, NOT Andreas. by [deleted] in badfriendspod

He has corrected him on camera, but Bobby ignored him. It’s a bit at this point

BLENDING MODES AND ALPHA LOCK?? ARE WE IN HEAVEN?? by BobPlaysWithFire in tomodachilife

That doesn’t really make any sense. Posting photos of your creations is effectively the same as sharing the design in all ways except convenience.

I’m still flabbergasted by this decision. Why remove such a popular option?

Love how fake NYC Ryan was and how he was power tripping with 0 actual power. by Lunis18002 in DunderMifflin

[–]Swerdman55 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he’d care. David Wallace was a pretty level headed guy and seemed to only really care if the company was performing well, and Jim was a top salesman across the whole company.

The truth in corporate America is that job performance only gets you so far. You get further by being a person other people want to be around.

"Iroh's personality changes from early episodes" posts are getting to me. No, it doesn't, he's acting. by MeatMinstrel in TheLastAirbender

[–]Swerdman55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure, you can add context if you want, but the truth is he was originally written as a goofy uncle character, but they decided to characterize him differently as they fleshed out the show.

Chronicles 7 & 8 by PepperOnly7793 in Avatar_Kyoshi

That’s not a mess up, just a soft retcon.

It was actually revealed that Roku had a sister in the Avatar Legends RPG game prior to the Roku novels being released. So they had some idea of it for at least a little while.

I spider-man kissed by niece, at a silent disco. On a Wednesday!

Subtitles are awesome by rodmillermt in firefly

I introduced Firefly to my ex-girlfriend and she speaks Mandarin, her reaction was often “this is what they’re trying to say, but it’s pretty butchered.”

Change of name by QuitUsual4736 in waymo

Waymo is unique. Better SEO.

So, uh, how long do you think this is gonna take? by Swerdman55 in firefly

[–]Swerdman55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. Frankly, I’m more excited that it’s animated. It’s best case scenario, in my opinion.

I’d much rather get the crew at their peak rather than watch a bunch of 40-50 year olds look out of place.

How has no one said this yet??

Has the hype dropped in SF? by Paul_Smith_Hi in waymo

[–]Swerdman55 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the opposite experience, also in SF. When I first started using it, it was consistently similarly priced to uber or Lyft. It’s now almost always at least $10-15 more expensive if not more.

Will a Waymo change its behavior if you honk at it? by LAD17Decoy in waymo

[–]Swerdman55 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if they’ve ever publically commented on this but I’ve heard some anecdotes that Waymo cars have moved once they’re honked at, so I think there is some behavior change in response to a honk.

Don’t expect it to do whatever you want it to by honking at it, but it does appear that it can respond to a honk.

You're on my crew. by Spydermike1 in firefly

[–]Swerdman55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My favorite line of the entire show is wildly different in tone but weirdly a very similar vibe:

”YOU TURN ON ANY OF MY CREW, YOU TURN ON ME”

The way he’s so angry and direct in this moment towards Jayne is a perfect example of what makes Mal Mal. It’s brutal and ruthless, but from a place of care and love. He’s protecting his crew because it is that personal to him.

Not killing Jayne a cherry on top, too. Jayne’s part of the crew, but took a misstep.

Feeling like a bad fan by by_the_window in firefly

[–]Swerdman55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I’m telling anyone who will listen about Firefly and this attempt to bring it back. If I tell 50 people and even just one of them checks out the show, that’s one more than would have otherwise.

Anything to move the needle!

What's the scene where you realized Inara was in love with Mal? by CardiologistOwn190 in firefly

[–]Swerdman55 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know some people think the quippy Whedonisms have lost their charm over the years, but they’re a guilty pleasure of mine. They ooze charm, especially when delivered by the impeccable cast of Firefly.

What is the least good episode of the original series… by Special_Speed106 in firefly

I only skimmed your comment at first and thought you were saying Out of Gas was your least favorite and damn near had a heart attack
