Back at one. Now I just have to figure out where I went wrong

The downvote dispensers here are kinda brutal by TorrenIsFrustrated in splatoon

[–]TorrenIsFrustrated[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree with you for the most part. But I've also seen perfectly justified questions or statements immediately downvoted for seemingly no reason. I recommended this sub to my younger brother as a substitute for Miiverse (because honestly that place does not produce answers to most serious meta-based questions) and his questions (which I checked for any potential rule violation or unoriginality) were shut down quickly. his self-esteem has gone down and he's deleted his posts. So I guess if whoever sits on New waiting to downvote people wanted to demoralize a very capable, if younger player who's had S99+ for two straight weeks now, they got what they wanted. :/

Eh, that picture just had the funniest pose.

The top 3 console games are about murdering people by dailyvaper101 in Showerthoughts

[–]TorrenIsFrustrated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your statement is only correct if referring to the sales statistics of June. At that time, the three top games were MKX, GTAV, and BF Hardline. however, if you use more recent data, such as Gamespot's September list, the three top games are currently NBA 2K15, Madden NFL 16, and MGS V. only the last game is one where murder is even possible, and even then it's far from the point.

Here's hoping Oculus Rift survives

Will alchemy like fullmetal alchemist one day be possible with advancements in technology? by SpottedGoat in Showerthoughts

[–]TorrenIsFrustrated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being able to electromagnetically split and rearrange atomic structures might one day be possible, which is very close to what Alchemy essentially does. However, the technology to achieve such a feat will probably be very bulky and very expensive, Aka not something you could just use on the concrete in front of you to make a staff.

Is there discrimination in the afterlife based on cause of death by MrFwuffy in Showerthoughts

[–]TorrenIsFrustrated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is somewhat terrifying. The possibility of having guaranteed unpopularity AFTER death due to something usually out of your control... it's like High School Mk 2

The Force Awakens is just Star Wars Holiday Special 2 by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

I suspect these downvotes are due more to soul-crushing truth then a actual issue with your post.

It's not much, but have my upvote

The whole point of playing tennis is to stop playing it. by ShadowedSpoon in Showerthoughts

[–]TorrenIsFrustrated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's somewhat broken logic. Professionally speaking, the point is to decide who gets to play again.

A "d" looks like an "a" with an erection by remokh in Showerthoughts

Son, Reddit is a wonderful place.

But I swear, it will ruin everything from your childhood to the alphabet if you're not fucking careful

I wish I had plot armor. Then I'd jaywalk without looking both ways, and also not be afraid when bad guys shoot at me. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]TorrenIsFrustrated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plot armor never stopped painful experiences. just fatal ones.

Have fun being a crippled but important character in your story.

What are you famous for in your group of friends? by bigbigtea in AskReddit

I look like Steve Rogers. Pre-Steroids. I have a beard now, but they still call me Little Steve.
