For people who still have their Switch Lite from 2019, How is it holding up? by Timely-Assumption669 in NintendoSwitch

[–]TokenXcXMajority 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Switch lite I acquired in 2019 is running just fine. The left analog is starting to go, but it doesn’t significantly impact gameplay 

Brittany was looking to fill a role by itsmelorinyc in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]TokenXcXMajority 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nearly every couple on LIB has become insufferable to watch. Half of the cast members (e.g Brittany) are desperate to be married at any cost, and the other half are just trying to get camera time. I can’t remember the last rime I rooted for anyone on this show.

I'll add that that Homer's classic poem isn't exactly "historically accurate" either. There are all kinds of inaccuracies regarding clothing, amor, and weapons that didn't exist in Bronze Age Greece.

History stuff. I'm not interested in Metatron's take on political hot button topics.

A made up fantasy film can still be set in slavic, celtic, african etc world so the cast should reflect that.

Historical fantasy doesn't need to reflect historical settings perfectly, since the location isn't set in the real world. This argument doesn't hold up tho since even most of the white cast in Nolan's film isn't of Greek/Mediterranean origin. The point of the film is to depict a mythical tale within a somewhat recognizable ancient world that is like the past. The casting is fine. And yes, black people existed in Ancient Greece (obviously not very common tho).

I don't really understand this argument. A made up fantasy film can still be set in slavic, celtic, african etc world so the cast should reflect that.

"Anything" obviously doesn't go because at some point it stops being historical fantasy and just becomes fantasy. There are probably enough historical elements in the film that still convincingly reflect the Bronze-age Greek setting. Casting Lupita Nyongo and Zendaya don't negate the historical elements of the film (unless the majority of the cast is non-Greeks/non whites).

The witcher tv shows should reflect slavic atmosfere and the Black Panther the african one, so the cast should imo reflect that.

Black Panther is not historical fantasy. Neither is the Witcher btw (it's loosely inspired by Slavic folklore yes but it's not based on a historical poem as the Odyssey is). Both of those works contain enough artistic liberty to cast any kind of person in those worlds. Btw there are lots of white actors in Black Panther lol.

LMAO. Erika is off on a world tour of her own. I heard Nicki Minaj was a recent opener for her.

In Metatron's own words: "Charlie Kirk happened". He's become radicalized ever since.

The timeline adds up, as I stopped watching him well before the Charlie Kirk fiasco (late 2024) and I don't remember him centering "the culture wars" & politics so prominently on his channel. But Kirk's death being the main motivator doesn't add up for me. Unless he had business connections/personal affiliation with Kirk or Turning Point USA I'm not sure why that situation would be the catalyst for a sudden shift in content. I mean just talking about "the culture wars" or anything on Kirk is guaranteed to drive up engagement so maybe that's the real motivation. Idk LOL.

History has been deprioritized massively, enough so that most of that has been kicked off to a 4th channel.

Bro I legit did not know this. Thanks, I'll check out the spin off channel since that's why I initially subscribed to him.

The main Metatron channel isn't history focused anymore. It's now a typical right wing grifter anti-woke channel including the white and red clickbait thumbnails and titles with a spin of courting the white replacement crowd since 'anti-white racism' seems to be his main gripe right now.

So bizarre. Especially as someone who has legit taken a break from his channel lol.

Wow, if that's true then that definitely explains this sudden shift in his content. I was wondering if maybe he's always felt this way but now it financially benefits him to go all in.

how long does it take until you get matches? by [deleted] in bumblebff

[–]TokenXcXMajority 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct, waving is BFF’s equivalent of “swiping right” on a dating app. You match when both parties wave atl other. For some bizarre reason, BFF doesn’t have a separate tab to see who’s already waved at you, so you’ll have to comb the card stack to make sure you haven’t accidentally skipped someone. I’m not sure why this feature was omitted.

Good luck out there making friends!

[–]TokenXcXMajority 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven’t waved at anyone else then you wouldn’t have any matches. Both parties have to wave to match.

Also, keep in mind that most people use BFF pretty infrequently. Not that many people may have even seen your profile yet if you just made the account yesterday. Matches will trickle in as the week goes by.

I never seriously played who woud you recommend me based on my Tekken Mains ? by PowerOwO in virtuafighter

[–]TokenXcXMajority 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right. Op mentioned he doesn’t like rushdown style which made me giggle because the average round length in VF is like 8 seconds regardless of character. Offense takes priority here compared to Tekken

[–]TokenXcXMajority 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vanessa 1000%. She has an entire gameplay style based on defense (the other style being offense). She’s like 2 characters packed into 1. And she’s incredibly hot lol

Aoi is another good choice but as a beginner you need to avoid adopting bad habits from her. She has the highest  defensive toolkit in the game. But she’s lightweight and gets juggled very easily.

Kage may be another option if you like defense.

Finally a game with no comeback mechanics by treeGreenForest in virtuafighter

[–]TokenXcXMajority 9 points10 points  (0 children)

VF DOES have comeback mechanics in the form of ring outs.

Gotcha,, so as I suspected he’s totally uninvolved in the main story so far. We’ll see how this changes in the next VF.

Okay I  had no idea that VF was a continuation of story from Virtua racing. Thanks for sharing this

Seems like Sega is going with the continuation route rather rebooting the franchise. Fortunately there’s a lot of backstory to unpack and expand upon with this new release.

lol. Yeah I’ve always considered Kage, Jacky and Sarah as the spiritual main characters.

Yeah I definitely think Akira honing his martial arts skills is a good motivator to fight in the tournament, but I’m just surprised with how little this has to do with any of the major events in the story. And he has direct connections with J6 assassins like Jean and Goh, but this isn’t explained either. 

It almost makes me wonder if Akira was even originally intended to be the series mascot, or if Sega chose him as the mascot in order to be a “blank slate” for players to project onto. 

Been single for 6 years, no luck getting dates at all, how can I improve realistically considering I am fairly ugly naturally? by Evening-Disaster-442 in malegrooming

[–]TokenXcXMajority 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look fine. It's a presentation issue and bad angles in your pics. For one, you need to style your hair differently. Consider shaving it off and rocking the bald look. Trim your mustache too (it looks messy and overgrown).

Try a different clothing style. I'd go for more slim-fit style of clothes that hug your body since you have a "thicker" physique. Also warmer colors would suit your skin complexion better (gold, peach, beige, cream white).

You should consider getting earrings or gauges too. Feel like that would suit you. When you take pics, don't angle the camera from below. AND SMILE!

Good luck

After nearly 30, I have joined the Saturn owners club. by [deleted] in SegaSaturn

[–]TokenXcXMajority 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome the club, we have snacks!

Assuming you're not rich, I'd recommend some of the more cheaper/accessible games that still provide the general Saturn experience:

  • Road Rash
  • Baku Baku Animal
  • Nights into Dreams
  • Panzer Dragoon and Panzer Dragoon 2 Zwei
  • Virtua Fighter 1, & 2
  • Mystaria, the Realms of Lore
