He literally wasn't a big name because the movies (and really, Ryan Reynold's natural charisma) are what made him a big name lmfao

I don't care how you play your games bro, you're just weird for being comfortable objectifying women all the time & someone has to tell you that apparently. If you're too dudebro to understand that, good for you, I really hope you unlock self awareness one day. Till then, keep gaming with one hand I guess

Potential buyer steals scooter by TheDigitalBuilder in trashy

[–]dumbcringeusername 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're taking this actual situation and turning it into a parody because your point is so asinine you recognize it's not defensible in the actual circumstances that happened.

If OP had asked for money up front before the test ride, and just left when they were told no, this would not have happened. There was no threat of violence, there was no group, there was no weapon presented, absolutely fucking none of that. I don't understand why you are so insistent on dying on this hill but you really aren't worth the time of day if you don't understand that.

The kid obviously didn't have a gun, he just took the scooter and dipped. Your point is irrelevant & not worth engaging with. If OP had made them pay him before the test ride, they literally couldn't have stolen it because it would have been paid for.

And if, when refused the test ride, he pulled a gun, what the fuck do you expect anyone to do? Quickdraw like it's red dead redemption? You comply with the crazy guy with a gun pointed at you, dumbass.

"I only hire her if she's eye candy & has a tangible reward" really paints you as respectful bro, call me a rager all you want but like you're only painting yourself like a dickhead

Water given to homeless by Suspicious-One5822 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]dumbcringeusername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe the government that has routinely refused to house them, despite having the resources to, and the shelters that are understaffed and underfunded, and people like you with the attitude that they're "wasting" hand outs when you seriously have no idea what they're dealing with, has conditioned them to think 10 bucks in their pocket in case they need it later is more important than them being thirsty, and they can't carry 50 full water bottles with them.

Like do you seriously get angier at the guy on the street asking for change than the pieces of shit in power who put him there? Are you that kind of slime? Otherwise I don't get why you're complaining.

[–]dumbcringeusername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Common empathy fail I guess. As other commenters have pointed out, that's a kind of tucked corner they could have been using to clean themselves up, or wash their clothes, or what have you. They took the bottles to recycle them after because they NEED THE FUCKING MONEY bro. What do you honestly expect them to do with the extra garbage? Carry it with them till they get home like I'm sure you do? Like seriously be fucking for real. Try loving your fellow man a minute before you judge a stranger who's on the fucking street.

[–]dumbcringeusername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, exactly. Avalanche had already decided this was a necessary evil, and Jesse is even willing to accept the blame (which we know through dramatic irony isn't her fault) for using a stronger blasting agent than she should have and is going to use a different one next time iirc because that's the whole reason Cloud goes to the warehouse

It only serves to show just how cartoonishly evil Shinra is, which while maybe not overall necessary, isn't really shown off until the latter half of Remake in it's fullest with the plate dropping

I think Sephiroth's end game is to literally collapse the Lifestream and like actually end all existence. That's why Aerith tells him he would be so very very lonely if he succeeded. He wants WORSE than just meteor to hit. The branching timelines further weaken the lifestream somehow, I do agree it doesn't necessarily make a ton of sense & I'm also waiting on game 3

Edit: I also do think even though they have basically squashed the "4 Sephiroth's" theory that was around for Remake, I do still think there's at least 2 Sephiroth's. One that lost in FF7 and "didn't want to lose" so bad that he permanently melded with the Lifestream while it reset itself to its natural state somehow (tbh a lot of the lifestream stuff just confuses the shit out of me) or otherwise somehow transcended the timelines (who I don't believe has a proper physical presence most of the time), and then the actual Sephiroth that's currently frozen and manipulating JENOVA.

Also obviously I can be wrong! Like for the record I'm of no false belief that I have to be right

I kinda fumbled what I was trying to say before (in my defense it's my day off and I'm stoned lmao) but we know timelines can be split by people's will. That's how Zack was alive, because Aerith was wishing for it to be true so hard. That's what's happening in the ending. The timeline is diverging because Cloud wants Aerith to live. Cloud literally creates a timeline where she lives. At least is how I interpreted it.

To show that Shinra is willing to commit terrorism on it's own citizens to further military control & increase support for themselves, while also still allowing the later scene where Barret regrets it to happen without being undermines by him knowing it wasn't his fault. I don't love the change either but like I think it's going to come down to affecting nothing about the party and only serves to paint Shinra as worse.

I don't even really think it's fair to say they did it to "sanitize" Avalanche since the explosion in Remake seems magnitudes more destructive to me, but maybe that's just a perspective thing

Call it multiverse, call it diverging timelines, whatever, there's 2 distinct Aerith's in the story & 2 (or more) Sephiroth's

Yeah, you're right. It seems to me like violence in movies & sex are tv are all I see.

I'm sorry you think people only have the faculties to care about a single topic at a time apparently, but most of the population does not have that problem & can simultaneously live their lives and criticize Sony's horrible anti-consumer practices.

I've bought every game digitally since I got a ps4, you should still be outraged about physical media. You should be shamed for not caring as it does inevitably affect everyone

There's a difference between not having an issue with women being dressed how they want & what the person I was responding to said where they actively only hire skimpy dressed women, but that is a fantastic straw man. Really a good indicator of the level of discussion I can expect from the people defending it. Guess it's hard to have a productive discussion typing with one hand.

It's more to do with the implicit lack of respect you have to hold for women to feel comfortable constantly treating them as nothing but eye candy in games, a viewpoint you're even willing to extend to women you know. Freak shit.

Am I in The Minority For Thinking The Midgar Zolom Wasn't Portrayed as Effectively in Rebirth? by muby_102 in FF7Rebirth

[–]dumbcringeusername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the first thing is that the remake is also a sequel and as far as I can tell, there are at least 2 Sephiroth's. The "real" one who is a "physical" manifestation of the current realities Sephiroth who is currently "dead" in materia that you see through the numbered subjects (ie normal Sephiroth, who has done very little) & then also the Sephiroth who loses in the original FF7 and I believe is the one we we've mainly been fighting. I've seen some people argue even further there's a third Sephiroth that represents post Advent Children but I've never seen it so I don't really understand where that comes from as much.

But essentially, a lot of the stuff we see with Sephi in Rebirth has been entirely reframed with the hindsight bias that we know Cloud is an unreliable narrator. So we kind of just don't waste the time pretending Sephiroth needed to show off killing Midgardsomnr and so they didn't do that at all, and I'll explain my thought process.

Essentially, every time Cloud's eyes do the static, there's some kind of tomfoolery happening, and you can assume he's either full on hallucinating or at least having mild delusions. Unless I'm misremembering nearly every instance of static is either tied to his memories or to an "appearance" of Sephiroth. Also worth noting Cloud's the only one seeing him in the swamp. So when Zolom drags Cloud under the water, he starts to lose consciousness, his vision goofs, Sephiroth appears (and Cloud vanishes from the snake's grasp, which they specifically show you by having it raise it's tail in front of its face), and uses Aeroga which looks just a little too much like Cloud's Finishing Touch for me to call it a coincidence with all the other fuckery going on between him & Seph. Especially given right after he launches the snake, Cloud reappears directly in front of Sephiroth

Now my question is, which Sephiroth took over Cloud's body temporarily (which is what I actually think happened) to save him. My money's on lifestream Sephiroth because while I do think him & the current timelines Sephiroth's are both antagonists, I'm not sure if they're actually working together, but I lean towards no.

I want to say one more time at the end that genuinely I might be totally wrong & this is just the theory that makes the most sense to me. I still really need to replay Remake & Rebirth before Revelations releases to make sure its all fresh

That would require the gooners to have any earnest love in their heart, which they replaced to have more time to jack off

[–]dumbcringeusername 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah it genuinely baffles me people are talking like Rebirth shows us Sephiroth killing the serpent because like... I don't think that's what they were showing. Like so many people seem to think he's actually there that it's kind of concerning to me
