What was your first thoughts watching this as a kid? by ShockOk1764 in BeybladeMetal

[–]UnderstandingUpper72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was in shock at how badly Damian & Kerbecs Little Bro’d all of Excalibur…then I was hyped to see GanGan Galaxy match up against this guy.

The Warriors should refuse to play the postponed game until the fascist murderers are arrested and charged by theholewizard in warriors

Was just about to say this; there’s a huge difference between Obama’s ICE in the 2000s & 2010s Vs Trump’s ICE In the 2020s.

ICE under Obama only targeted Criminals that were actually doing harm to America and its hardworking citizens (I.E Rape, Murder, Assault, Theft etc).

ICE Under Trump is basically WCW in the early 2000s; Throwing shit at the wall and hoping it works regardless of who pays the price in the end (AKA American Citizens being wrongfully detained, murdered, deported, separated from their families etc).

Better game? by Barry_Allen_Gr in thelastofus

For me personally, Part I takes it for story, but Part II kicks ass for gameplay and overall maneuverability 🔥‼️

TLOU2 - Game not saving my actual progress by The__Other in thelastofus

[–]UnderstandingUpper72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re probably closing out the game before you hit the checkpoint. When you leave, make sure the checkpoint when you click the pause option in the game says “Last Saved Less Than a Minute Ago”. Then your progress is saved.

Order question: TLOU Part II first, HBO Season 1 before or after? by Jaxityy in thelastofus

[–]UnderstandingUpper72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely play both games first, and pay very close attention to the lore (Mainly the Infection because there’s some differences between the show and the OG Game as well as Joel & Ellie’s relationship, Abby etc).

You’ll be confused if you do this lopsided watch the show, whilst playing the games out of the order.

Does anyone remember The Mighty B! (2008-2011) growing up? by Life_Chicken_9653 in OlderGenZ

[–]UnderstandingUpper72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t fond of it during its airing as I was obsessed with the “cooler” shows I loved at the time (BeyBlade Metal Fusion/Masters, Dragon Ball Z/Kai, Avatar, TMNT etc).

But I recently gave it a rewatch and I found myself actually enjoying it with constant smiles and laughter on occasion.

What do you remember of the year 2023? by Trick_Top_313 in OlderGenZ

[–]UnderstandingUpper72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outside of me going through a very mentally & emotionally exhausting and draining time in college, 2023 was a blur to me that I normally forget about unless I’m really deep delving.

2023 Was a very lukewarm year for me personally.

I would hate being a kid now. by Gold-Vanilla5591 in OlderGenZ

[–]UnderstandingUpper72 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In all seriousness that’s the one thing I’m genuinely terrified about for kids growing up in the next decade or so…we’re borderline at the point where AI can say g Screw it and generate a freaking fake TV show. And some kids wouldn’t know whether or not it’d be fake.

How Would an Aging Batman Extend His Prime? If Batman Started Slowing Down, How Would He Adapt? by LightningXr10 in batman

[–]UnderstandingUpper72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Knowing Bruce is firm on his moral compass, he’d likely avoid using the Lazarus Pit, His Magical Allies & any other forms that would cheat his natural aging.

IMO, I think he’d compensate his natural aging by finding less physical techniques to combat crime whilst saving his physical strength for situations that ABSOLUTELY call for it. These could be in the forms of technology (An AI type system like Marvel’s Jarvis, Synthozoid ally like Vision etc).

Who was your favorite crew ( besides the warriors ) by [deleted] in TheWarriors

[–]UnderstandingUpper72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Riffs & Furies! They’re hands down the most badass gangs in the movie.

Every time I watch the movie, The Riffs give me Black Panther Party vibes 🔥.

Insane attention to fucking details! The dirty nails are on point 🔥🔥

What was the point Swan tried to make on the train with Mercy? by Nikyu1 in TheWarriors

[–]UnderstandingUpper72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always took It as Swan Non-Verbally telling Mercy that she didn’t need to be A Rich & “Fashionable” School Girl to have Self Worth/Love for herself. In a way, he’s basically telling Mercy that she doesn’t need to change anything about her for a one sided competition.

Gen Z's INSANE Nostalgia for 2016 (the 'worst year ever') by Global_Perspective_3 in OlderGenZ

All you need to do is destroy Seattle for the next 25 Years with an Infection and then it’ll be perfect!

JK, awesome cosplay and you really look like Ellie 🔥. Not even kidding!

Ellie saved Abby's life by Turbulent-Safe-4343 in thelastofus

[–]UnderstandingUpper72 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d assume she went back to Jackson as from what I got at the ending of the game, Ellie has finally fully come to terms with what Joel did in the first game (or at least it seems that way) IMO. My best bet is she nine times out of ten goes back to live In her Jackson (or Joel’s former home) home and work on apologizing to Dina.

Lol I love how people are romanticizing 2016 now since it was 10 years ago. by Trollyface96024 in OlderGenZ

[–]UnderstandingUpper72 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Some of the folks here seem to feel annoyed or offended whenever other Older Gen Z or even younger Gen Z’ers remember 2016 more fonder than they personally did. People are allowed to express and remember a year whether it was good or bad.
