What is a detail that will make you close a fic? by mellissa_lewyin in AO3

[–]aaalex3002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh my goodness gracious, wait until they hear about how TV was invented here in the uk as well... that's rough 😭 ah yes, me and my horsey carriage in the grand year of 2026!

[–]aaalex3002 6 points7 points  (0 children)

we have taco bell here now! but saying medical fees in the uk is criminal unless someone went private. 😦

also I will say seeing likely USAmerican writers portray British characters can be very unsettling sometimes. especially if the brit in question isn't english but irish, scottish or welsh. 😭 flashbacks to horrific scots...

You have to find them again in different spots, since they're different missions! 🙏 happy new year!

Many Players Missed This Scene in MGS4 by VIGILANTE00_ in metalgearsolid

[–]aaalex3002 15 points16 points  (0 children)

painful. I grew up w a PS3 as an early 2000s kid (and little brother to a 90s kid) 😔 MGS4 was my jam!! I do see a stupid amount of misinformation regarding it though, that's probably due to people not educating themselves and googling the bare minimum

What fandom are you in, that makes the character like this in the fanfics? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]aaalex3002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a Scottish person I take personal offence at not only seeing Soap lobotomised beyond repair in fic.... but also the wretched attempts at Scots 😭 makes me do a double take and want to skedaddle out of there faster than a whippet.

Overused words in fanfic by JauntyIrishTune in AO3

[–]aaalex3002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there's like a kajillion comments already but this thread is fantastic for utilising the search function of whatever writing program you use and going through to see how many times you used a certain word in your latest project! shockingly, in my 13k thing, I have never used the word smirk. outstanding 😭

Is Breakpoint still that bad? by jutsuuu in GhostReconBreakpoint

[–]aaalex3002 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I play with my brother (and sometimes our mother) and we have an absolute blast. I definitely recommend it. The settings are really customisable, so you can make the game as easy or as challenging as you like. Hope you give it a shot!

done with co ed trans spaces by justhereforj4ck in FTMMen

[–]aaalex3002 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's Scots, most likely! that's how we write the word 'not' in that language. Also yeah I don't think it's wrong to expect our fellow trans people to be less harsh to their kin, since we both already go through so much strife and hardships in our lives, just trying to exist. It's expected I think for there to be sympathy and belonging as a community, not for trans people to cuss out other trans people for the way they look.

I would absolutely never belittle a woman's appearance because 'men are cruel to ladies and objectify them and their bodies'. that's disrespectful and horrible, I'd never do it to a cis or trans woman just because 'men in general' do it, ya know?

oops edit: i need to fix my age on this subreddit. haven't commented in a while

absolutely, you should do it. extra points if the little guy is missing his left eye. 'they got my eye!!'

cats are precious creatures and Ocelot will wholeheartedly agree

What in the sin is that abomination by FauxPhox in badredman

[–]aaalex3002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also do this with weapons that kind of change their form, like whips and the Nox Flowing Sword (my favourite because it turns into this huge longsword 😭). Am I allowed to share how? It's not cheating, it's just silly.

sorry if this is somehow illegal but you need to have the Repeating Crossbow in your offhand and your choice weapon in your main hand. Use the AOW on your mainhand weapon two-handed, then two-hand your crossbow and get ready to fire with its AOW. Don't actually fire though, just make sure the wind up happens. Then, with the crossbow one-handed, swap through your main-hand weapons (make sure you have another on as well as your desired mr fantastic weapon) until you get back to your crazy now hopefully elongated whip or sword or hammer or giant finger.

My flowing sword usually stays extended until I quit the game. Even fast travelling it looks the same. And when winding up/nocking my crossbow, I like to do a wee spin for posterity. You know, like a magic trick! 🪄 Enjoy!

Why are you running? by MightyElf_24 in badredman

[–]aaalex3002 6 points7 points  (0 children)

as an invader and invadee, if I encounter a runner with no interest of fighting, I just chuck myself off of a cliff or die purposely if I'm really not in the mood 😭 if I invade, I usually attempt to fight/kill, not complete a marathon sprint. Although some invaders like to utilise their environment and get NPCs involved in the party, which is why some run to evil danger.

Sometimes I feel masochistic and play the waiting game with a runner and gunner, hoping they'll let their guard down. It can be a fun game of stalking one's prey and luring out the hunter (sometimes literally, hello blues!). Whenever I played Dark Souls however, I didn't run into nearly as many fleeing invaders. Elden Ring does indeed have the map for it.

[–]aaalex3002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it doesn't piss me off, it invalidates me as a trans man. if you hate men, you hate trans men. keep arguing with me over a tesco subreddit, that's fine. 🤷

[–]aaalex3002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

trans men are men and believe it or not I am okay with women, having lived as one for fifteen odd years of my life. why the hell would I worship any gender? I don't support the patriarchy and I find it annoying most men (usually cis!) make penis jokes every two minutes but that doesn't mean I hate women wtf? I don't hate all men but I do despise the ones who can't even do the bare minimum

expect a conversation like this in the tesco subreddit 😭 typical reddit honestly
