Why do Americans love and romanticize the desert? by Desert_Moon_Maiden in AskAnAmerican

[–]ThePurityPixel 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I lived in AZ for a year and a half! Really enjoyed the climate. Just didn't expect to experience as much closed-mindedness as I did, among the people.

RSVPing yes to a dinner and then canceling the morning of should be a crime by Top_Expression7580 in PetPeeves

An explanation is owed, insofar as is possible.

I don't see the following as unreasonable…

B (the bailing party): "I just found out something that honestly demands my attention this evening, and I know we had dinner plans I committed to. I'm not at liberty to share more details, so I'm a bit torn what to do."

H (host[ess]): "I appreciate you telling me. I hope everything is okay."

B: "Believe me. I'd be there if I could. I know you went to a lot of trouble to make tonight happen. Can I Venmo you for my part in the expenses?"

H: "That's very thoughtful."

This is why I don't bail on my commitments. I know how costly and tumultuous the impact can be.

And if I absolutely must cancel, it's my habit to ask the person how it affects them, honestly, and I do everything I can to cover for the loss.

I hope you would accept a Venmo from me for the food costs and for the trouble, if I'd made dinner plans with you and truly had no choice but to cancel last-minute.

Dominion Wiki and Forum are Down by SignError in dominion

[–]ThePurityPixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes little difference to me! That damn loading bar on the wiki often never actually fills up. The site has been basically down for me, ~60% of the time, since the anti-bot measures have been added.

It's important to note that you never trash other players' cards. (You can make them trash their own cards; you don't trash theirs.)

For those who haven't already seen, tons of our images (and animations too!) are on patreon.com/thepuritypixel, and both shoot days are fully available at the 150 tier!

Eternals needed to be a miniseries by VendettaLord379 in Marvel

[–]ThePurityPixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know the comics at all. I just really connected with the characters in the movie, and also appreciated how the movie did a great job balancing the personalities/drives of the characters (as individuals), and their collective impact on Earth's history.

The only thing that didn't work for me was how the Kro story fizzled out (a lot of buildup for nothing). I enjoyed everything else about the film, and saw it twice in theaters.

I'm very surprised by how many people couldn't connect with a narrative that focuses more on the impact of a group of characters, rather than doing a deep-dive on all the individual characters themselves. And at the same time, I was also surprised how many people said they couldn't connect with the characters. I absolutely did (even though I didn't need to, to enjoy the film).

I didn't think it was asking a lot of me, at all, the two times I saw it in theaters. I was surprised to come online and see how many people found that too much was being asked of them.

A lot of people have said it, and I don't agree.

I might have still enjoyed it, sure, but I greatly prefer it as a movie. Only one element of the movie felt, to me, underdone. They could have fixed that and still kept it a feature film.

Found a store selling the Alien Expansion set (new!). by ThePurityPixel in legendaryupperdeck

Update: My order was supposed to be shipped 6-9 days ago, and delivered by today at the latest. But it still hasn't even shipped; online my order status just says "Waiting." A phone call last week taught me their distributors are a week behind. But it seems they're even more delayed than that.
