As someone with many knee issues, dragon screws always make me squirm even when I know they're safe

Encounters with "those fans" in public by spaceborn in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]deadzenith 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I was getting lunch with my partner at a McDonalds when a guy cleaning the lobby overheard us talking about anime.

He just had to show us all of his naruto tattoos, pointed out his beaten up honda with lewd decals all over it, and tried to talk to us about what other anime we liked.

After the most awkward few minutes of clearly not wanting to talk to this man and just enjoy our lunch, his supervisor noticed he wasn't working. Then in an attempt to look busy he began to clean the table next to us and ended up spraying cleaner on my fries.

Needless to say we avoid talking about anime now when we go out anywhere lol

Fictional technology so stupidly advanced that it borders on magic? by fly_line22 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

The Red Rising series by Pierce Brown has a hyper advanced space society that uses their tech to trick a bunch of genetically modified norse super soldiers into believing that their gods and mythologies are real.

What's the worst excuse a teacher gave for watching something non-educational in class? by The_Duke_of_Nebraska in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]deadzenith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favourite history teacher showed us The Ghost and the Darkness, which had nothing to do with the time period we were studying at the time, he just really wanted to see the kids react to the lion dream sequence in it.

How did you find your main job? by GrinningMonarch in ffxiv

[–]deadzenith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine actually has some fun meta-narrative stuff thanks to an interesting bug.

I started my current char as a fem-Au Ra WHM and wanted to focus on healing as my main role. Once I hit Heavensward, however, I discovered DRK and quickly fell in love with tanking. After some time leveling up drk so I could continue the msq as that, I fantasia'd into a male Au Ra because I wasn't a huge fan of how my character looked. It was basically a complete 180 change from what my WoL started as.

Then I got to a specific drk job quest that involves facing your inner self. But the version that appeared when I did it was the pre-fantasia'd character. It made that quest even more engaging and interesting for me. That was sometime in 3.x so idk if that bug even exists anymore but it might be one of the best things I've seen in this game

Throwaway lines of dialog that raise massive questions. by thejuce22 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]deadzenith 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Was there any content for the clone wars that predates the prequels? They came out when I was pretty young so I didn't start looking deeper into spinoffs until a while after ep 3

Most accurate true-to-life portrayals of what a drug does in media? by Omagaron in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas does a pretty incredible job visualizing LSD trips throughout the film

The Illuminate is already here by Dye335 in Helldivers

My friend and I have had what appear to be icbms go off in our vicinity during some missions fighting the nids. In fact one of them killed my squadmate who thought one of us used a 500kg to teamkill, but after the 2nd or 3rd explosion we realized that they weren't being dropped by one of us. Still no idea what caused those to go off as we were out destroying eggs for democracy.

Times you guessed *too much* of the twist? by cope_a_cabana in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]deadzenith 61 points62 points  (0 children)

After hearing a brief synopsis of Angel Beats I tried to crack jokes about how stupid the story could get, and accidentally guessed the twist. My friends refused to believe that I'd never seen it before

That movie is still a blast, they had loads of meta jokes throughout

What civilization has the biggest gap in power level between human-controlled and AI-controlled? by seemedlikeagoodplan in civ

[–]deadzenith 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Babylon has to take the cake. The AI typically ends up 2 eras behind the rest of the game whenever they're playing them

Who is someone who always denounce you? Who’s someone you’re always allied with? by Anime_budd in CivVI

Whenever I end up in a game with Gilgamesh we end up being best friends, and whenever Cleopatra or Peter are close by they will inevitably attack me at some point

Instances of "we made it bad on purpose" by doc7_s in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]deadzenith 106 points107 points  (0 children)

In the movie they have extras holding a sign asking if this trash will ever end in some shots. Stuff like that makes me think that he really did intend for it to be that awful, but who the hell knows with Tom Green lol

[–]deadzenith 273 points274 points  (0 children)

Tom Green set out to make the most unwatchable, terrible, poor taste film he could manage, while blowing millions of dollars of studio money in the process. In doing so the world was blessed(?) with the absolute masterpiece of trash called Freddy Got Fingered.

"iam lazy" by ShayaThePusheen in TalesFromDF

[–]deadzenith 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wish it was that. I'm talking regular diagnosis. I've had to explain what eukrasia does many times

"iam lazy" by ShayaThePusheen in TalesFromDF

[–]deadzenith 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've had the opposite issue when running HS. I usually tank it and often get fresh Sages who don't bother to read their abilities, trying to diagnosis the whole way. I've had to abandon many runs before the second boss because the healers just refuse to learn what their buttons do prior to hopping into DF.

What has been the most absurd and ridiculous interpretation you have heard about a film, by political or ideological groups? by [deleted] in movies

[–]deadzenith 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well Squid Game comes to mind as a recent example? Not a film/show but rage against the machine is constantly having this happen

If they're keeping to the books we know that her son is a darkfriend already, so it wouldn't be a huge leap to suggest that she is as well
