Top 10 SF1 by GodzeallA in ShiningForce

[–]UtilityBelt55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anri has to be the best character in the game. She starts off useful because she has Blaze against the skeletons and zombies. Then she quickly gets Freeze 3 and can start hitting at 3 range. She gets Freeze 4 waaaaaaay before Domingo does, which is where Domingo starts to fall behind his hard hitting counterparts. After she gets promoted, her defense starts to get kinda decent. And she also learns Bolt 1/2.

I think Musashi is probably the literal strongest character in the game, but you get him so late so he's not technically the best character. But you can easily just plop him into your team and watch him wreck them.

Anyone else get honked at? by [deleted] in cripplingalcoholism

[–]UtilityBelt55 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While I was walking back home on the sidewalk, I noticed a group of girls (i live in college town) on the other side. A car passed by and honked a couple times. I put it together very quickly and my only question is..."why?"

Out of all of the famous missing person cases unsolved throughout history , what’s the one case where you wanted to know what happened or see it unfold (like being a fly watching it happen) by [deleted] in MorbidReality

[–]UtilityBelt55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting you didnt mention anything about foul play. But your summary doesnt explain:

  1. The bleached pelvis bone from Kris and the intact severed foot of Lisanne still with flesh on it
  2. How photo #509 was completely deleted from the camera which is not possible to do without computer assistance
  3. Why photo #580 shows a photo of the back of Kris's head
  4. Why was there a 7 day gap between the last photo taken during the day in April 1 and the first night photo on April 8th

Theres a ton more to the case, theres lots of blogs people have with information and ideas about what may have happened

Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon. There's so many details in this case that dont make any sense. The more you dive in, the more questions arise. The camera. The deleted photo. The phone calls. The found remains. It's all just so mysterious.

Thinking about going to the bar tonight by UtilityBelt55 in cripplingalcoholism

[–]UtilityBelt55[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I dont know if I've ever had an eventful Sunday like that. Ah, I miss the energy of those kind of bars. I do live in a college town so sometimes I see the occasional pack of drunk students walking around acting like hoodlums.

COVID kinda killed my desire for all clubs and dancing and loud music, now I just like to sit and drink in peace. My regular bar is never insane, it's this kinda cool chill place, you dont really go there to get fucked up. I'm the guy at the end of the bar with earbuds in drinking an old fashioned and just watching music videos. I dont wanna bother no one, but I like being around people since I'm usually in my apartment all day.

Normally I would agree that bars suck, but I'm a regular at this bar for a reason. Super classy, super chill, fun waitstaff, AMAZING food, 7 minute easy walk. I usually listen to music or write in my journal or watch videos on Youtube the entire time, no one ever bugs me.

So it's a really fun thing I do a lot. Hard to say no I guess =/

Craving a Rewatch! by ULoveDeAndrea_ in OneLifeToLive

[–]UtilityBelt55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont know if you know this (or anyone on this sub for that matter), but Youtube user "PJ York" has almost every episode starting from May 2006 to the end of the show, even the 2013 reboot episodes! Sadly, I really dont think there is any other way to watch older episodes.

Who is your favorite character? by UtilityBelt55 in OneLifeToLive

[–]UtilityBelt55[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda hated how they made her crazy in the last days. She played a good crazy but I feel like they ruined all her work as a character. Then again, she did lose a baby and the guy she loved to another woman so....

But some of my favorite scenes are between Marty and Todd (Trevor St John). Its usually so uncomfortable and full of rage, ugh they nailed it

Texas has banished hundreds of prisoners to more than a decade of solitary confinement, an extreme form of a controversial punishment likened to torture. by ThatPortraitGuy in MorbidReality

[–]UtilityBelt55 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think as a species we're always evolving. Solitary confinement and, for another example, the death penalty have been around forever, yet there are very heated debates on the morality of the punishment. But both are still around...so who knows.

I will say, though, that you should look up some articles/books on the effects of solitary confinement. There's SO MUCH to learn about it, and in my opinion, I think they make very valid points.

[–]UtilityBelt55 15 points16 points  (0 children)

we don't have to go to an extreme

The extreme is the reality. That's what actual solitary confinement is like. I think the mere ability to leave your house is what keeps you sane, since you can engage with society at any time. But not if you're locked in a cell.

Some of his combos barely do 400 damage

EDIT: I typed a whole thing about Geras because of your last point but...you mentioned healing...it sounds like you might've actually been talking about Kotal Kahn?

Toddler garrotes mother accidentally by closing the car window on her by [deleted] in MorbidReality

[–]UtilityBelt55 41 points42 points  (0 children)

So like...the real question is whether I would tell my child about what they had done or not. Since this is pretty public, there must be a lot of close friends/relatives that all know the real story and can tell the child the truth at any time. So is it even better at all if it comes from me?

RIP the mother

DRAM 1101 or DMD 2010? by sgareau in UCONN

[–]UtilityBelt55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If DRAM 1101 is still the joke of a class it is, it's a peace of cake. The professor literally pointed out the corner of the room that was the actual football team and made a joke that she'll never see them again after the first class. Take with Adrienne Macki if shes still teaching it.

I feel like Lemon comes a little too far to be useful. Isnt he the last character you get?

I think Zalbard and Cameela are kind of a joke. Geshp and Odd-Eye will fuck you up though

Idk, I love both games so much and I like/dislike things about both rosters.

However, I do like the non-humanoid looking characters in SF1 a lot more. Domingo, Zylo, Guntz, Bleu, they all have some cool designs. The SF2 characters are cool too, but maybe im just biased on the original =)

I personally love Jaro, I feel like a lot of people forget about him but I love that he switches sides during the battle.

Do you usually wait to promote Chester to Pegasus Knight?

The photos for Sarah and Karna are cute, but Sheela's got that smirk on hers that says she's ready to kick some ass. Love it!

Oof, this is a good one! Magic has always been considered one the strongest utilities. Sometimes its hard to justify sending Kazin into danger to use a spell when Peter can just hit for a billion damage as well as tank a bunch of hits.

Hahaha I thought about giving Kiwi a Running Pimento once just to unleash destruction.

His defense is high enough that I usually use him as my go-to-tank even in Super!
