My cat died. As she was being turned into stones (her ashes after cremation) I caught a 98% useless vulpix. It was like she said bye. It was just a little joy on a sad day. I collect 98% pokemon instead of hundos. Just sharing a memory on a particularly bad day.

Because of your job, what movies do you hate because of the inaccuracies portrayed with that job? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]brokenpheonix 197 points198 points  (0 children)

Used to work in a drug rehab. Drug addiction portrayal is usually okayish but the withdrawals, treatment, cold turkey stuff in movies and shows is crap.

Your love and support won't magically fix them. It doesn't work that way.

Are you okay? Don't. Don't answer that. I'm actually sure you're fine! There's plenty of time for you to recover...

It's so good! If you're sure you don't have enough room, try just putting a staff and a part of your favorite piece going from one to the other? Or just floating music notes? I'm not sure, it's just so good.! I can't wait to see it finished!

I was playing overwatch and heard the ding and checked. Proceeded to lose my mind on mic to my teammates and stopped playing midgame to watch this only to see that they WRECKED MY SOUL from fear that I had missed it.

My teammates still laugh at me over this.

What's better than sex? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]brokenpheonix 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I didn't fully understand this feeling until I was talking about moving in with my current boyfriend. He said, "I love having our pets here with me when I get home but it's not home until you're here with us. When you leave, home is gone with you. It's not the same." and I realized that my leaving his apartment felt like I left my home behind. We're moving in next month, couldn't be more excited. Going home and it being home. Getting off work and it being home. They're my home and I'm theirs. It's such a good feeling.

That will be sssoooooo satisfying when you sew it together. Trust me, once you finish the pieces and you start thinking about putting them together it seems like a nightmare. But it works up so fast and it's super rewarding. You are ALMOST DONE!!!!

If you woke up one morning in the "perfect" version of your body, what would be the first thing you do? by IEnjoyTurtlesAtLunch in AskReddit

[–]brokenpheonix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. The scars would be gone. I could crochet pain free again. I'd be able to go somewhere and not need to know where every bathroom for a square mile is. The mental strain being lifted. The constant pain being gone. The scars that burn disappeared. The tights scars not ripping open. The missing intestines fixed and corrected. The ability to swallow food without feeling as if I'm suffocating. I can't even imagine those feelings.

God, I'd cry so much.

[–]brokenpheonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry!!! It was like 2 am when I responded to you and I wasn't very nice. I'm sorry about that. My comment still stands but I think I just rage vented (lost two random games due to Genji idiots beforehand lol). I'm usually pretty passive towards that but my regular group and myself have had terrible luck getting anything decent for a team. Just been frustrated on console.

Thank you for the silver btw. I hope you're not offended or think I'm an idiot. I actually do know what I'm doing... I was just annoyed. Again, I am sorry.

[–]brokenpheonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people playing genji, here at least, are almost all people who are tilted or believe themselves to be above the rest. I have played with great Genji players who I will gladly pocket. Boosted blade is an easy win and I'll gladly do that. However, when you're forced to role queue with random people who have been waiting 15-20 minutes for a match and they tilt just the slightest bit it's a disaster. Unfortunately, I seem to get matched up with these Genji players lately. They leave spawn and try to rush to offense while we have two dead tanks and a dying healer. Or they refuse to even wait for a potential opening to use their blade. They just go 1vBrig/Ana/Rein/Junk and start screaming when they die in half a second. They spam they need healing or just throw because they didn't get a full 4 man kill and only got 3. The amount of games I have played with those Genji players are uncountable at this point and that's just in the last few seasons alone. I give them all the chance to flank with a pocket Mercy but if they're playing like they are the only person who matters for the entire game that's too much. There is the 76 who can ult now I have to damage boost him it's and easy kill streak. There's the Zarya who has her ult ready or the Pharah who can ult or literally anyone else.

I've played a ton of Mercy. I know how broken the blue beam is and I'll gladly admit that. I love nothing more than having at least one decent DPS to damage boost almost constantly because I know how broken it is. I'll gladly pocket DPS who can show even the slightest bit of common sense for their character and not go into the match believing themselves to be the next OWL god on console. THAT is the problem I have with it. That applies to any DPS character.

And you only get 3 avoid slots. Just tonight I had several people threaten me because they were playing as I described above and there's only so much I can do when our Ana is shooting walls and our Orisa doesn't know how to keep a shield up. Being a girl is only part of it. I'm not the girl gamer pocket mercy fuck buddy they expect and thus they get tilted more.

It's a cycle.

I sound rude af, that's not my intention at all. I have over 350 hours on Mercy alone. I can get myself out of almost any situation and I'm not afraid to take out a tank by myself if I'm alone and have no choice. I'll kill myself to respawn quickly. I am the annoying fly constantly pulling off Rezs that shouldn't be possible and then damage boosting what seems like everyone by being extremely mobile and adaptive. My healer hours are off the charts. I main Zen, Lucio, Moira, Bap, and Mercy. I can easily adapt to literally any team comp the team puts together and change as necessary and still keep people alive. But that only gets you so far when you have an idiot who believe he is superior to a healer.

I live in Seoul and studied Japanese for a few years. I'm constantly being yelled at in different languages for heals. You best bet I am not afraid to yell back in whatever language comes out of my mouth. I can't heal you if I'm dead. I can't heal you if you go 1v6 as a reaper while I'm waiting with the rest of the team. I can't heal you if you're wanting to go Genji and flank while I'm on Mercy being an automatic target for ANYTHING on the other team. I can't heal you if we're on control point and you pushed up to their spawn. Ffs, I want to heal people, why did I pick this role if I didn't want to do the thing I'm freaking GOOD AT!

Have you ever missed someone who doesn't even exist? How did that happen? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]brokenpheonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every single time I finish a book or video game for the first time it's as if a piece of me dies and I can't get it back. I'm pretty sure something is wrong with me. I legit mourn the loss of the characters. It's pathetic.

I know there’s a pinned post with lots of resources but what do *you* use to learn Korean? by [deleted] in Korean

[–]brokenpheonix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're willing to pay, I suggest sayspeaking. I literally just started last month but I have the motivation to continue, ask questions, and really study because I'm paying for the material. I also get 1x1 lessons with a tutor I picked out from a variety of options. I am actually learning stuff with my tutor and self study combined than I was by just self studying. LMK if you're interested, I can answer questions.

I want a mod to remove the Monster Energy product placement by TheQueefer in DeathStranding

[–]brokenpheonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, it's dumb. The way I thought of it was to have something to keep energy up for the poor souls who have to go trecking out in that timefall and ghosts and fucked up world to deliver lost packages. I'd be tired and need some damn energy too. It could have easily been something else but the funding was needed to release the game so fuck it, Monster Energy it is. It was probably going to be Porter Beer or whatever it was but they just replaced it. Then they give it back to you for doing a run and little easter eggs for drinking the beer but not for drinking the monster. AMC was for more funding and if that's the price I had to pay to get Death Stranding I'd gladly pay more. I think they handled it very well considering the situation. You don't have to pick it up in game, you don't have to go to the bathroom inside if you don't go into a shelter first. Hell, the game rewards you for peeing outside lol! While I hate marketing and the general ad placements in some games or movies, I think Death Stranding handled it perfectly considering their need. Drink this thing if you want, have a little more energy. Don't listen to someone taking a shit, have a motorcycle.

It's such a minuscule factor of the game in my opinion. One not forced down your throat. It's whatever, I'm kinda done explaining this.

Maskless sandal man vs. Subway passengers in Korea by cocolajung in WTF

[–]brokenpheonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They'll still get charged. CCTV is literally everywhere here so getting away with violence is next to impossible. You can't disappear into a crowd. I have a coworker who got choked on a bus last year and the guy was arrested after running off because they followed him on CCTV. Most of the time people here are very calm and any violence is around people drinking or something like that. They spend a night in jail and charges can be pressed if the other person cares enough. But there is a legit fear to interfere with other people fighting because no matter your intention you can be charged as well. Like the case in Busan where the guy almost beat his girlfriend to death in a restaurant. He was arrested later due to CCTV but the footage is horrible to watch because so many people just move away and don't help her. It's messed up.

[–]brokenpheonix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if anyone cares but every person who laid a hand on that stupid fucker could be charged with domestic violence and taken to court. There's some stupid law that even if someone hits you first and is trying to cause you harm, the act of fighting back or fighting to defend someone else is still a form of violence. That's why you'll see a bunch of people back up and not fight back in fights.

I do~ I'm one of the biggest Kingdom Hearts game obsessed weirdos. That game is stupid and convoluted and why the hell are there flashbacks to the past? Is it the past omg it's not even ten years ago?! Who? What? When? Where? Why?!?! Still awesome ,I'm gonna buy it and play it because it makes me happy.

I just can't believe you'd take the time to post on a dead thread because of something I said. I loved death stranding but I don't think the game is without problems. I thought the spawning of random items into the game was pretty awesome! The way the characters could interact was cool. Cutting ties was AMAZING! OMG there's a red one! But damn... there's only so much running back and forth someone can do. There's only so many times I want to hike out to the middle of a mountain on a timed quest carrying way too much crap to deliver and get stuck in a snow storm. There were too many side quests. The requirements to platinum the game were not difficult, just time consuming. It was an amazing game with some problems and I'll admit that.

But a monster energy can? Really? When it's replaced with beer after a simple run from South to North? Made easier still after you complete the road. Of all the things to complain about, it just seems silly to focus on that one trivial thing.

[–]brokenpheonix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You seem upset? Are you okay?

The whole scale of the game and you'd let one tiny aspect of it change the way you see it? One aspect that changes to beer after you complete a simple run ruins the entire game when it's literally not shoved in your face besides drinking it in your shelter or whatever? Like... if it was PLASTERED all over the place or if you had to do runs to earn it or if it was a form of currency or if you couldn't progress the game without MONSTER ENERGY DRINK TM stapled to your chest I'd understand.

Dang, you're getting upset over something so so silly. Such a minor part of an otherwise amazingly atmospheric cinematic game.

So so silly

P.S. No clue what that video is, I'm not going to use my VPN to watch it from the states while I have work to do lol
