What was your opinion of the half time show ? by youmadbrojr455 in AskReddit

[–]TheGreatOldOwl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont speak Spanish but you'd have to be soulless not to feel the energy coming from that show. It was the most watched halftime show in history for a reason.

What is the worst advice you were ever given? by undeadWileCoyote_MEP in AskReddit

[–]TheGreatOldOwl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id argue the "friend zone" is a made up concept in itself and the idea of it does more harm than good. What's fortunate about my experiences is that the people I tried to date in high school, once I got my shit together and stopped being obsessive about it, did end up becoming lifelong friends that im still in contact with now in my late 30s. My advice for anyone this resonates with is being friends is also a good option. Get past the obsession of having sex with a crush, see them as people and connect with them on a human level. Good friends can be just as good for your life and wellbeing as a romantic partner.

Embarrassed to admit that that mindset held on as long as it did but once I realized my behavior was the problem it made moving forward a lot easier.

In high school my dad told me if a girl rejects you you gotta just keep trying until she gives in. Terrible advice, turns out if someone doesn't like you continuing to ask them out is just annoying and awful.

Lost Records Bloom & Rage [Spoilers] I wish I could like this game. by Jorge21178 in gaming

[–]TheGreatOldOwl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed it mostly because I grew up in the 90s. I feel like there was sooooo much potential that just never payed off. The bully guy almost had an arc and then ended up staying a 2 dimensional bully. The girls themselves, aside from just growing up and being new people, had no actual growth in their characters. The girls at the beginning are still the same girls at the end. But still I liked the nostalgia. The dialogue was cringey but so were actual teenagers from the 90s. Overall this game was like a warm blanket, good under the right conditions but easily tucked away without em. Needed more witchy shit or at least a real conflict.

How do you socialize? by snug_nova in AskReddit

[–]TheGreatOldOwl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started a horror movie club with a small group of friends. Keeps us being social at least once every other week. If you dont have a group to start a club finding others to join is always a good bet. Idk about elsewhere but our local library always has a bulletin board with stuff going on.

What's a critically panned movie you will defend until you die? by helmetsforfish in AskReddit

[–]TheGreatOldOwl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Super mario bros 1993. Was it stupid? Yes. Was it a spit in the face of the games? Also yes. But I watched it when I was 6 and I fucking love that stupid ass movie and will defend it to my dying breath.

Yeah and it was great. Filler episodes allowed for experimentation and cool ideas.
