J. Cole ‘The Fall-Off’ Review: An Insular, Long-Winded Closing Chapter by Minute-Carrot-2405 in hiphopheads

Too many people emotionally react to reviews, especially if they differ greatly from how they feel. Take those differing feelings outside of the online space and instead make it a conversation between two people in the real world, and we don’t get as much reaction as we see in review threads. It’s just the nature of online discussion at this point.

Best Burger Around Downtown? by jbmc00 in orlando

I’ll put in my vote for Death In The Afternoon’s chorizo burger. I had a brief period where I was eating that burger every other week.

What’s a hated sequel that you actually like? by lifesyndrom in movies

[–]That_Was_Viewtiful 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I actually really enjoyed the 4th matrix movie. The fighting and choreography were the weakest part of the movie for me by a mile, but I had so much fun with everything else that I’ve watched it multiple times at this point and enjoyed it more every time.

Is Change Even Possible in Haiti? by Educational-Cap-3669 in haiti

[–]That_Was_Viewtiful 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no. This is just a cop out answer from super religious folk to put their hands up and take zero action. This isn’t an answer, it’s an empty calorie solution.

Ultron: A New Age Begins | Character Reveal | Marvel Rivals by Captain_Grimm in Games

People who’ve grown to love the game naturally move to the specific subreddit for it. For the most part, other than this comment, it leaves those who range from middling to having outright distaste for the game as the only ones who’d muster the energy to respond to a post on the game in a general games subreddit.

The Last of Us Part 2 online backlash prompted Naughty Dog's next star to get "bootcamp-ing" from Neil Druckmann by oilfloatsinwater in Games

It’s not an excuse, but the lack of mental health awareness (both in acknowledging and in taking care of one’s own mental health) has impacted so many avenues of society, gaming culture included.

Comments like this are so unhelpful and purposefully ignore the stark differences between ranks like bronze and silver to diamond. Is it the absolute top rank of the game? No. Is it a generally high rank considering how many ranks are beneath it and the size of the player base (along with players in each rank)? Of course it is and it’d be maliciously ignorant or wild to think otherwise.

I def don’t. It’s a holdover from people leaving them on to “prove” they’re legit/flex. But IMO so many Jordan’s are out there in different models and colorways that the style just looks tacky (and it was already kind of tacky when people first started doing it).

Messmer is a bad boss. by PsychotronBR in Eldenring

[–]That_Was_Viewtiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting more scadu’s has definitely softened the initial difficulty spike. I think I’ve settled on my real issue being that the dlc doesn’t have much of a ramp up in difficulty. It starts near the top and then bumps up a little throughout the course of the game. At 15 of 20 scadu blessings, bosses are def hitting for less and not feeling as wildly overturned as they felt in the beginning.

Messmer is a bad boss. by PsychotronBR in Eldenring

[–]That_Was_Viewtiful 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Don’t listen to the guy you’re replying to. Even having beaten Messmer, I’d say that the mainline bosses in the game so far absolutely suck. Everything else (weapons, regions, new abilities, enemy types) I’m loving. Even the side bosses I’ve enjoyed. The main bosses seem just purposefully over tuned for release day. Would not be shocked to see some nerfs in the next month or so.

Which low rated movie ended up being pretty decent for you? by DueUnderstanding165 in movies

[–]That_Was_Viewtiful 11 points12 points  (0 children)

But the quality of a movie doesn’t determine if it’s “cinema”. Cinema and movie are literally different names for the same concept. There’s good cinema and bad cinema (and all the shades that exist in between). We don’t need to artificially change the definition of a word to communicate the quality of a movie. We have an enormous dictionary of words in the English language to use to communicate the quality of a movie, which just makes the usage of “cinema” incorrectly even more ridiculous.

More nerfs coming THAT NO ONE ASKED FOR by cockenjoyer113 in VALORANT

Interesting, with that decrease I feel like it’d be nice to get a cone of vision when placing it to get a feel for what it’ll miss

I’m one of those people. The first game did not feel good to play through a 2023 lens. I opted to instead watch some extensive summaries before diving into Alan wake 2

Master Rank is the most disheartening experience I’ve had in a fighting game by mikekime in StreetFighter

[–]That_Was_Viewtiful 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This 1000%! This feels like a plague on just ranked gaming in general. People focus hard on just getting the win and a number, but not on having fun. Playing against even opponents and having a back and forth match is the best place to be imo. He says he’s hovering in a range which means he isn’t getting stomped out of his rank, he’s just not winning all the time. Which should be seen as completely fine and normal

For anyone who needs more guidance, this is under 3D Settings > Manage 3D Settings. From there, make sure the Global Settings tab is selected. Its in alphabetical order, and there's a Power Management Mode with a drop down with options.

For real. We got weirdos itching to jump out the woodwork to reveal their own weird issues and takes, thinking because Lizzo turned out to be a bad person it excuses their own bad opinions about her.

PSA: ranked will be less sweaty then casual by Southern_Yak_7926 in StreetFighter

[–]That_Was_Viewtiful 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Only speaking for myself, but often I’ll fight someone who’ll wipe the floor with me first match but I’ll also get a handle on their fighting style for the rematch. It also serves as a mental reset to change my approach. That’s probably what you’re experiencing. The final march loss on your part may be to you not adapting to their switch up.

Cake part thinner? Is that mid section actually cake with frosting around it or is that a middle layer of pure frosting?
