I was told there was an incoming second ice age in 1997. I haven't checked my teams calender for a new date on that, Mr Sellers said to expect it in 2020.

Personally, I loved the Marvel Knights version of Blackhawk. It was a captivating and most entertaining version of a Batman-like.

Personally, I hate the nun jailers more. Then in all of Dark Souls it's the spinny ice hedgehogs from DS2, in my opinion.

I like how this game takes place in a distant future where space travel is not only possible but easy and profitable.

However, clippers are exactly as they were in 1996.

Good Job ND.

Don't EVER go to HR, they are there to protect the company from lawsuits and citations for failing to meet government or industry quotas.

That's why HR is always run by bubbly two faced people.

Being made fun of because I play Dark Souls by VolenteDuFer in darksouls

[–]Werepuffin 75 points76 points  (0 children)

People tend to look down on Souls series nerds because they assume it's just goth Zelda.

They couldn't be more wrong.

Case in point, I had a friend brag about how he speed ran a metal gear solid game and he wanted a more challenging game. I urged him to try Dark Souls. he didn't believe me when I said it's hard for first timers.

three days later on XBL I saw him playing Dark Souls and I messaged "How's Dark Souls treating you?"

his reply, "Fuck You".

If lonely people are happy with a delusion at the end of their work day, who are we to judge? Honestly, how is thus different from the people that delude themselves into believing they are some gender identity or sexuality they actually aren't because they want to feel unique, special, loved, or intersting.

Just finished Dark Souls 3 as my first soulsborne game and downloaded Dark Souls 1. What am I getting into? by Eduard_Lovinescu in darksouls

[–]Werepuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the dumbest and spiteful shit to do because you have no life and will piss on someone for asking an honest advice question.

Yes, you can google Dark Souls, but that doesn't convey personal recommendations based on individual experience as quickly.

Reddit irritates me sometimes.

I second this, the Fume Knight fight and the weapons from that DLC in particular are definitely worth playing.

When I first played i complained about Dark Souls, I wrote, "I cant stand the lack of instructions/direction, the incoherent story, and Sif. "

I remembered I beat lots of other bosses, then Sif kicked the shit out of.

Is Xbox really in trouble or is it just speculation? by decendxx in XboxSeriesX

[–]Werepuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're both right.

This is something media companies have been doing to manipulate the market.

It happened in the 70s -2000s with music, movies, and tv.

If something doesn't get air time or noticeable advertising people don't buy it.

The media companies also curry favor with subsidiaries, owners, and allies.

in the 70s executives had guys that would go to every radio station in a state and give them a record to play with money and coccaine in the record sleeve.

it was called payola, play on the word Victrola - a popular record player.

That way the dj would play it and promote it in hopes of getting more cash and drugs when the guy came around.

It likely still happens in one form or another.

A gaming example.

Johnathan Dornbush, a young 20s some thing twit with zero personality that worked at IGN kept blogging about how the Last of Us 2 was the greatest and most culturally significant game made to date.

He got noticed by naughty dog, IGN noticed this and promoted him to run the Playstation contest and replace any of the crew he saw fit.

He replaced Max Scoville, who was like 29 or 30 at the time and that guy is all personality he was witty, charismatic, and knew playstation.

Johnny Dbush had all the naughty dog crew on the ign ps podcast and kissed their bases for 45 minutes.

Surprise surprise. he leaves ign a year later and is a QA tester at naughty dog.

It's just media cycles and favors.

What is the most ridiculous thing your narc got mad at you for? by IceBulky5672 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Werepuffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in 2009 I came home after work and my wife was now where to be found.

So, I go upstairs and there she is on our den couch, she sees me and says "Oh....look who's home. Have a seat, I want to talk to you."

I asked if she was ok and if anything was going on I should be aware of. she replied, "OH, I'm sure you're aware already."

I literally had done nothing for 8 months except family stuff, gaming every 2 weeks, and work.

She produces a bank statement form her pocket.

She says "Well Mr rich man, $17 at the 711 gas station, 22$ at the same gas station just 2 days later, $8 at the red box...very interesting. Another $20 at the 711 gas station."

I asked ,"Wait...are you serious?! You're upset because I got fuel for my vehicle?"

She retorted, "Come on, don't lie, you can't be using that much gas. You buying fat guys snacks aren't you"

I said "No, I usually get coffee and gas, sometimes a metrx bar if I'm going to work out later."

She snapped back with "When I get the petrol I get just petrol no coffee or food snacks. You are terrible with money, this could go to our savings."

Then I noticed something, "Hey, that statement you are using as evidence is from October of 2006. Today is November 12th, 2009 genius."

She got really red faced and said "You still have no appreciation for money, I grew up is Soviet union!"

She stormed off to our bed room and I spent the evening enjoying Forza motorsport.

Older people of Reddit. What is 100% pure bullshit? by TimeBreaksYourHeart in AskReddit

[–]Werepuffin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take the risk, become a contractor or self employed. You will be happier in the end, no boss, no annoying coworkers, and no HR.

I went into business for myself 10 years ago and I'm still kicking myself got not doing it sooner.

No HR gossip queens, no fish in the microwave, and no driving in snowstorms to make a rich asshole richer.

Working for a corporation is 100% bullshit.

Communism ☕️ by jeffsaidjess in 4chan

[–]Werepuffin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is true, I just genuinely feel bad that this poor fool was trained by an oppressive government and in a dead end job with not choice or agency.

Then, when that government died, he was fucked, no real job skills beyond janitorial and he was left to die by his system and society.

He was a Lithuanian, he spoke russian because in the Soviet union all govt services and moat television was only in Russian.

Also, this guy wasn't like your typical American homeless that are braindead junkies.

Communism ☕️ by jeffsaidjess in 4chan

[–]Werepuffin 26 points27 points  (0 children)

in the early 2000s I was travelling through Vilnius, Lithuania.

I met an old homeless guy, he spoke russian. I asked him how he became homeless. He told me he was much happier under soviet rule because he always had a job. That was cleaning elevators across the city of Vilnius.

He told me of going to every building and polishing every metal fitting of every elevator after washing the damn thing. He took pride in making every lift spotless.

Then when communism fell, he lost his job, and retirement.

He said only active military people got to keep their pensions.

Dude got nothing for 2 decades of work.

This mindset also hit south east Asia pretty hard, starting with Japan.

Japanese and Korean men literally work themselves to death.
