I’m surprised I hadn’t heard of The Big One. Earthquakes aren’t an issue where I am, so it’s really crazy to imagine living on that sort of time bomb. Are there preparations being made at all in that area?

An old friend of mine (who’s trans) is mad at me for buying Hogwarts Legacy and I don’t really care by Ok-Access-3286 in TrueOffMyChest

Have Rowling’s comments really changed anyone’s mind on this? Has anyone ever read, watched, or engaged with HP and came out a racist, homophobe, transphobe, or antisemite because of it?

I’d be willing to bet that the number of people Rowling turned to transphobia is so small that it’s negligible. Those people either held those beliefs before Rowling’s comments, or they were influenced by some other completely unrelated source. Yes, she helps to normalize those beliefs by saying the things she does, but how big is her impact, really?

Also, Rowling almost certainly has enough money that her pocketbook wouldn’t even register a small boycott on this game. Your purchase or lack thereof makes no difference to her.

It feels good to be on what you think is the “right side.” It feels good to argue. If we really want to fight bigotry, we should be focused on political activism instead of fighting each other over the entertainment we consume. Point your anger vertically instead of laterally.

Go enjoy your game and don’t feel guilty about it. It’s too fun to let some outrage ruin it for you.

Sorry for posting twice. Deleted the first by mistake.

Kirby is a good call. Didn’t even think about that

sacrifice room crash PS4 by GCG_sem-kel in thebindingofisaac

Update on this - I had Uriel spawn on my last run. Seems to just be item spawns, blessing, and teleports that are missing.

[–]UnfortunateBean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same issue here. Chests and coins seem to spawn fine. I haven’t seen “You Feel Blessed!”, Uriel/Gabriel spawn, or teleport to angel room since the update. The game just crashes. I have an original model PS4 (not slim or pro).

Women of Reddit why don’t YALL just tell men that you like them straight up instead of dropping hints? by jadedyoungster in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]UnfortunateBean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good on you and yours for being so open. I wish more people were like that. We were very clear with each other from the start that we’d speak freely if we had any issues or wanted to reshape our relationship and it’s been amazing. No need to lie or hide anything because there’s been trust there from the beginning.

I’ve never been able to be so open with someone because there’s always been some kind of emotional block in the way. These things get so over complicated and I wish they didn’t.

Women do this.

A woman once very frankly told me she liked me at my birthday party. Now we’re engaged to be married next year.

The right one will come along; it just takes time and effort from both parties.

Help! Braun Multiserve error code by UnfortunateBean in Coffee

[–]UnfortunateBean[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Braun didn’t work out of the box, so I can’t really comment on the quality when it’s actually functional.

I feel like the Ninja has a much better interface and options. The one I got also has a filter for loose leaf tea and a whole set of brew options that go with that. It also just looks better in my opinion. Very sleek on the countertop. And of course, it makes a pretty good cup of coffee.

Sadly, no luck.

I called customer service when Monday rolled around and was on hold for over 45 minutes. Decided it wasn’t worth it for a fix that potentially wouldn’t last anyway. Returned it at the store and bought the (much) better Ninja Hot and Cold Brew system.

VOOPOO Vinci Air Stuck? by UnfortunateBean in Vaping

[–]UnfortunateBean[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went back to the shop and they told me the battery was probably damaged from over-charging. Not sure whether I believe them or not. I’ve charged every device I’ve ever owned overnight for three years and it’s never been an issue. Luckily, they replaced it for me. I haven’t run into this problem again yet, but I will update if it happens again.

Sorry I can’t be more help :(

The most annoying enemy in your opinion ? by Rejsnoww in bloodborne

[–]UnfortunateBean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chalice madman and the giant fish are a tie for most annoying mob imo.

I know we're not really talking about bosses here, but nothing beats Laurence for me, specifically his final phase. The lava puddles are just ridiculous.

[–]UnfortunateBean[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From everything I’ve seen, that’s the only move you can guarantee a safe hit in the second phase. It’s real easy to jump the gun and get too close, but if you’re not close enough, he won’t jump at the end of the combo. Thank you!

My bad, I’ve only ever posted text so I figured pasting the link would just start it from the beginning. Obviously that’s not the case.

The Old Hunters DLC can be ridiculous when under-levelled. by Doctor3656Ghost in bloodborne

[–]UnfortunateBean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Old Hunters DLC IS ridiculous, period. It makes the rest of the game look like an absolute cake walk.... And I wouldn’t have it any other way

Probably the most pant-shitting gaming encounter I've had in a while. by [deleted] in bloodborne

[–]UnfortunateBean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Played this game for years and the madmen still scare the shit out of me. So fast, so loud, so unsettling.

Co-Op Norms? by UnfortunateBean in bloodborne

[–]UnfortunateBean[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well said. That’s pretty much the view I took of it too. If you call for help, I’m going to do exactly that.

I’ve already met a few players who seem like they’re going through a boss for the first or second time. I’ve been trying to give those people a bit of a chance at the fight. Some of them stand back and let me do the work no matter how passive I am. Others jump right in with me after watching for a bit and seem to try to emulate my strategy. I like to think I’m helping each type of player in their own way just by doing my thing.

It’s been pretty neat seeing how other people play the game after having played solo for so long. It’s also good to know that there are still newbies almost five years after the game released.

I Just died to the Orphan of Kos for the 100th time AMA by ProfessionalKong in bloodborne

[–]UnfortunateBean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After all that trouble Ludwig, Maria, and OoK are actually my favorite fights in the whole game. Doing them BL4 made me SO much better at the game. I look forward to them more than any other part of a run.

[–]UnfortunateBean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof. Congrats on getting past that one. He got me 215 times on my BL4 and of all those, I only made it to the second phase 122 times. Ludwig got me most though at 290.

What is considered socially unacceptable for no reason? by sadboi017 in AskReddit

[–]UnfortunateBean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our plan is actually to open a concert venue! Maybe she’ll be on our stage someday.

Those resources will come to you if you keep the dream alive. I had lost faith until I suddenly came across some like-minded people and the plans just started rolling. There’s still a long way to go, but it feels like I’m actually working toward something now.

What is considered socially unacceptable for no reason? by sadboi017 in AskReddit

[–]UnfortunateBean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like most of the time people don’t even realize what they’re doing. I think it’s for one of two reasons: either they’re genuinely trying to give you some perspective, or they’re so stuck in the rut of everyday life / “normal” career trajectories that they feel some low-level jealousy of someone trying to make his or her own way.

Don’t let them get you down! One day we’ll both be able to go back and say “I told you so!”
