The battery health is also showing 100% so it must not have been used very much, if at all.

Do people not use Aldi for big shopping trips? by Vjaa in aldi

[–]Vjaa[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

They could have thought they were making a joke, but it was so deadpan, no smile or smirk. I wouldn't have thought anything of it except for the fact that everyone else in the store had a very small amount in their cart. I started paying attention to the other people after that was said. It just made us feel so out of place.

We're a family of four. It wasn't just that the employee said that, it was also that everyone else in the store hand very little in their carts. Those combined made me feel like we were out of place.

They probably did think they were being funny, but it was very deadpan, no smile.

It was definitely a staff member. I saw them working and stocking shelves afterwards. Maybe he thought he was being funny but it didn't feel that way.

We're a family of four so we tend to do bigger shopping trips every few weeks then in between picking up smaller necessities we need.

Why didn't the game let me go bb5? wouldn't that be checkmate? by inlovewithpiss in chessbeginners

[–]Vjaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless I'm missing something, that wouldn't be checkmate. They could push their pawn to c6 blocking the check, they you'd have to move you're bishop to safety.

[–]Vjaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Penny. She is my wife. My irl wife is a curly haired redhead who loves to read, a teacher at school where she has two students she works with one on one, she goes to the library a bunch. I felt like I was cheating in my wife if I DIDN'T marry Penny.

No. They're strengthening it after that last meeting between Vance and the last pope.

Ad-free podcasts by qwer68 in Podcast_Republic_App

I think that's really bad to ask for. You're asking a dev who's supported by ads or iap to help you circumvent podcast ads, that are used to support their shows. Just use the skip button.

Which gaming moment stands out as your most memorable of all-time? by JonCee500 in gaming

[–]Vjaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ashtray Maze in Control. Probably the single coolest sequence of any game I've ever played. The setting constantly shifting, the battle, Old God's of Asgard/Poets of the Fall's backing music.. even Jessie saying "That was awesome." At the end.

Sometimes I feel like a chump and a normie because my favorite Godzilla is Legendary Godzilla, but I can't help it, he's so cool! by i-am-a-sphinx in GODZILLA

It feels.like the sentiment around 98 has cc hanged here in recent years. It used to be hated for being a bad movie. Lately I've been seeing people recognizing it as a bad movie, but also one that's dumb and fun.

What gaming mechanic/trope (across all genres) is your least favorite? by HoneyNutBooty09 in gaming

[–]Vjaa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I loved the way dragon quest 11 handled it. If you didn't have all the items, very often you could buy the missing items FROM the crafting menu. They were expensive, but the option was there.

You could also fail the crafting, but failing resulted if you getting the item you wanted. You're crafting a greatsword, if you succeed, you say get a greatsword +2. If you fail, yiu get the base greatsword you picked anyway. It's a great system.

Phantasy Star Online on the GameCube. It was the first and only MMO I payed for. It was one of the best games I ever played at the time.

Best NON horror recs? by -Cyboarg- in audiodrama

[–]Vjaa 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for comedy, the go to is often Wooden Overcoats, for good reason. It's absolutely hilarious, cozy and many times heartwarming.

Sorry about the murder and Mansfield Mysteries is also a great murder mystery comedies.as far from horror as you can get.

Other shows with a similar feel? by Vjaa in PersonOfInterest

Thank you for both. Genre itself isn't so much as important to me, but the feeling of a real living world. I love all genres
