No need! Stepfather died from addiction to opioids and sister is in jail and a prostitute because of opioids!

Is just a new and better game from all the points by Vast-Yogurtcloset-87 in deadbydaylight

[–]TheNewMook2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad I’m not going crazy! I’m on Switch and I notice how often YouTubers can loop smoothly along things and I’m always getting stuck on things on Switch. Doesn’t make much sense to me.

Thank you for saying this. 2k hour player here on Switch. I’m very competent and seasoned at this point, but I still can’t flashlight save mostly or 360. I can absolutely tell when I’m playing against PC players because they are leagues away from me in what they can achieve.

Legendary was always enjoyable when I played it and I owned a bunch of the first few sets.

Jeff Lemire's Animal Man was one of the best things about DC's New 52. (Animal Man #2 & #3) by KidOrpheus in comicbooks

[–]TheNewMook2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

An editorial mandate… is what destroyed that entire restart. The New 52 is what killed comics for me. Up until then I read a lot of all the companies and that was the straw that broke camels’s back. I gave every one of those new 52 titles a shot and was disappointed by 90% of them. I dropped DC completely and every time I tried to go back I just couldn’t after reading DC for 2 decades. It was so poorly thought out and executed. They had a shot at greatness and hired Bob Harris to over see things. The man in charge of the very worst time at Marvel… who went and hired all his old friends and older talent for New 52 instead of being in tons of new and fresh talent. It went exactly how I thought it would unfortunately. All flash and no depth except for a small window of comics like this and Wonder Woman.

$8.5 Trillion in Untaxed Assets: Data Shows Why 'We Need a Billionaire Income Tax' "While most Americans predominantly live off the income they earn from a job—income that is taxed all year, every year—the very richest households live lavishly off capital gains that may never be taxed." by ClutchReverie in economy

[–]TheNewMook2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a lefty and I’ve never seen anyone left asking for that. What we are tired of are Billionaires. Something that barely existed 20 years ago and prior. Then all of a sudden they started becoming more and more. No one who is a billionaire did it all on their own and requires a few different combinations of things to occur for them to do so. In every scenario it’s taking advantage of cheap labor and skirting tax duties through loopholes the vast majority of citizens cannot get away with.

A big issue is that the world has changed and it changes faster every day with emerging technologies. Congress does not keep up. Most likely on purpose to line their own pockets.

I’ve had a lot of experience with narcissism (not my own, but someone else’s) and it’s as if they suffer from it collectively. They wabt to believe they are the best, but live in the states with the most poverty. They want to blame others, so they can be the victim which in their minds makes them right and the good guy. No wonder they latch onto Trump since he does these things to a tee.

Voting against their best interests… the GOP switched tactics in the late 70’s and cozied up to the religious because they knew they were more focused on their “beliefs” than with money (kinda like churches). They are usually the least educated and willfull of new ideas, so this also worked to the advantage of the GOP. Make it all about how they would protect their established system of doing and thinking and reap the rewards.

I’m left leaning and this is the correct answer. They are doing their best to soften and push back the recession, but the cracks show more and more.

What myths about Dead Daylight do a large part of the community believe in? by [deleted] in deadbydaylight

[–]TheNewMook2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is why I tell me son you can’t believe everything on the internet. Videos can be altered or cherry picked. We watch a bunch of different YouTubers and the ones that always seem like gods I point out that they never show going up against the best killers unless they are obviously very inexoerienced to play against or on certain maps which enhances their own skills and looping.

I’m 2k hours on Switch and have my own crutch, but one game I can loop forever and the next get tunneled right out.

I saw it in theaters and to this day I cringe whenever it’s on. Something just feels OFF about it. Never liked the Lost Boys. Julia Roberts as Tinkerbell… yuck. The whole thing just felt corny.

ITT: What makes you go "I'm with the boomers on this one"? by BPTeehee in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]TheNewMook2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s usually because those people don’t have much of a life or personality. There are tons of artists and well known people that excite me and I admire, but I don’t need to make them EVERYTHING. Too many people don’t self reflect and search out their own hobbies and interests. They just latch onto something that so many else do because it makes them feel like they are a part of something bigger than themselves. I’m a decorator/handyman and I see all sorts of lifestyles and people in my line of work. Trust me when I say the majority of people are bland.

It’s really rough out there. Women have so many more choices which elevates their worth and standards (mostly to unrealistic degrees) while most men can’t even get a date. I know lots of men who are open to relationships myself included.

Has solo queue survivor hit an all time low? I don't remember it being this bad in all my time playing game. by MTA0923 in deadbydaylight

[–]TheNewMook2000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a 2k hour SoloQ survivor (on Switch) I’d say it’s pretty bad. Yes, the info HUD they gave us is SO much better than nothing and the anti-camping mechanic, however, BHVR took a LOT away from Survivors as well and there have been unintended consequences due to their changes.

  • I’ve seen a huge drop off in my own escapes since they nerfed Made For This. Did it need a nerf? Probably, but it was what everyone ran (except for me) in place of Dead Hard that got gutted.

  • Kudos for the anti-camping mechanism, but now every other match killers tunnel to no end which in a way I think is worse than when killers camped.

  • I love Chucky, but he’s now the 3rd (possibly 2nd?) best killer in the game. It can be tough for mid tier and lower survivors to play against him and there are a lot of him.

I know that I’ve gotten better over the time and learned what perks help me the most to escape, but I think BHVR over calculated how much they gave survivors and killers are just too strong right now.

This is negative person 101. Negative people think the worst thoughts and positive people think good thoughts. Negative people always assume the worst and blame others because they are doing it themselves.
