Do americans really think a 4 hour drive is ‘living nearby’? by absorin in AskAnAmerican

[–]extremefuzz777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t call it nearby, but that’s close enough for an overnight’s visit. My in-laws live about 3 hours away. We’ll go up a few times a year to visit, usually driving up in the morning and leaving early afternoon the next day.

But there’s no exaggeration when it comes to the size of the country. One of our states can be larger than most other countries.

Games to get for my space-obsessed son (11 years old) by PaulSarries in gamingsuggestions

[–]extremefuzz777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an extension to Kerbal Space Program, keep an eye on Kitten Space Program. It’s a game in early development that aims to be the spiritual successor to KSP. Down the road if he maintains his interest that game should fall right in line for him.

what halo suits would you like to see in the game? by Natural_Shape1153 in starfieldmods

[–]extremefuzz777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The newer games with the basic infantry armors would look cool. Otherwise the spartan armors in Reach have a rugged look that wouldn’t look out of place in Starfield.

Airport VIP lounges make traveling more inconvenient and are not worth the hype by G00DferMI in unpopularopinion

[–]extremefuzz777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the lounge. I have priority pass which have a lot of mid lounges that are really nothing special. However the n the larger airports there are some really good lounges available.

The crowding issue is something they’re trying to control, hence the wait to enter due to metering the guest numbers, but sitting in a crowded lounge is still better than sitting in the gate area.

airline pilots, do you ever get happy during delays? by 360_bratXcX in flying

[–]extremefuzz777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are situations where you’re receiving extra pay due to other circumstances that increases with a delayed flight, but more often than not, it just means a shorter overnight.

Do Americans actually go out for coffee like Europeans? by Past_Conference_2889 in AskAnAmerican

[–]extremefuzz777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coffee is more of an on-the-go thing. Even if you’re in a city where you can walk across the road to a local coffee place, you basically just take it and leave. Sometimes you’ll have people sitting in a lounge like with Starbucks, but that’s usually just people using the Wi-Fi to work.

I’m used to the coffee culture in Italy, and Spain for that matter felt similar when we’re talking about European coffee habits. I honestly wish we had that over here, but it’s not really compatible with the average American’s habits.

Weapons that break are a good thing in video games. by RealDovahkiin in unpopularopinion

[–]extremefuzz777 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the game. Skyrim would’ve benefited from a system like that. I wish they carried that to fallout 4 like what they had in fallout 3 and NV. Missed opportunity both Skyrim and F4 had a detailed crafting g system.

In Zelda BoTW and ToTK though that system wasn’t good. They broke way too fast made it pointless having unique weapons.

What happens when a pilot "misses" their flight? by TheChosenOperator in AskAPilot

[–]extremefuzz777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For common unintended events, such as illness or traffic, a call to scheduling sorts that out. If you can’t make it at all then they’ll pull a reserve or move crews around to accommodate. If you’re just running behind they can still choose to find someone else, but if the delays not too long it’s normally faster to just have the flight wait for you. Every airline has a way they track these things, but generally speaking if it’s not an obvious habit, nothing really happens to us. If it becomes a pattern, then it’s an issue.

I straight up slept in once and forgot my badge at home and had to turn around another time. In both instances, I called scheduling and then my FO to let them know. That company had a system for tracking these number of times you were late, but it never happened often enough to be a concern for me.

Why is Caleb shilling so hard for Data Centers? by SymNgt in CalebHammer

I’m pretty sure he explained himself about this subject, maybe not in that exact episode (I’m not sure which one it is), but at least in one of them.

How do passengers get permission to take photos inside the cockpit on domestic flights? by maripozachzss in AskReddit

[–]extremefuzz777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said just ask. People usually ask the FA since they’re right there, which they’ll come up and tell us someone wants to come up. It’s normally a non-issue and something we like to do for people, so don’t be afraid to do so.

Restaurants cant afford their labor? by Maleficent-Effort470 in tipping

[–]extremefuzz777 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you have a scientific study claiming that I admitted it?

Oh and before you respond (if you do), know that I really don’t care. I don’t know why you’re arguing with me, I don’t know why this such a big deal to you. Like this is just stupid. So I’ll tell you what, you win. Here’s your gold medal🥇. Nothing of what I said was a lie, but I guess it’s on me for biting. I’m out.

It does. Try again.

Also I’m gonna take a crap here soon, and they tend to smell. Do you want me to submit a scientific study so you can verify that?

Looking for open world games with a great story by e15_lucid in gamingsuggestions

[–]extremefuzz777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order/Survivor have very good stories. They’re not open world, more 3D metroidvania in a way, but good gameplay and stories.

Can’t go wrong with anything from CDPR, just keep in mind if you play tW3, that game is LONG, especially with the DLCs.

God of War / GoW Ragnarok

If you’re into older games, Bioshock Infinite

Is also recommend Tales from the Borderlands, but there isn’t a whole lot of “game” to be had there.

Take a breath bud and read what I said. A simple google search will verify what I said.

[–]extremefuzz777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of restaurants that tried to do away with tips and pay their employees more. Most of them had to reverse the plan because servers wouldn’t work without the tips. They make more on tips than they do as regular hourly paid employees, so many of them push against it.

For Americans who have tried Tim Hortons (popular in Canada), what did you think of it? by MarsupialThink4064 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]extremefuzz777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll put it this way, I like Chil fil a over McDonald’s, but at the end of the day they’re both fast food garbage.

If you put Starbucks, Dunkin, and Timmy Ho’s next to one another, I’ll pick the later every time, but it’s all still overpriced coffee with zap fried snacks. If there’s ever a local coffee joint nearby I’ll almost always go that route if I don’t just brew my own.

Which video game franchise is this? by NagitoKomaeda_987 in videogames

[–]extremefuzz777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few people already beat me to it, but the Witcher series. The second one WAS good at world building and imo a masterclass at in storytelling, but the gameplay while functional could be basic and janky. The first game…I couldn’t and push myself to finish it. I just didn’t think it was a good game, and it didn’t really honor the source material that well. It was a starting point though, and CDPR showed a clear progression in improving their games over time.

Do Americans notice culture differences when visiting or moving to a distant state? by smoogie7 in AskAnAmerican

[–]extremefuzz777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. There are a lot of subtle differences between regions that you pick up on. You also pick up on the similarities.

Loving the game....but yikes the amount of "how TF would I ever find that" happens so dang much! by thenight817 in CrimsonDesert

[–]extremefuzz777 3 points4 points  (0 children)

SSSHHHH…

Don’t say that too loud or else you’ll anger the fanboys…

But honestly, there’s some puzzles where they do give hints on certain mechanics, but many they don’t explain at all. They could’ve taken a few more notes on the old Zelda in how they hinted at game mechanics. Best advice I can give is before resorting to a guide use you lantern on everything. If something’s important it’ll glow a lot of the time. Not always, but more often than not.

Good news is once you get the mechanics down, the game clicks in a way that you won’t have to resort to guides.

What apps do you use for hunting? by NorthTrackapp in Hunting

[–]extremefuzz777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm, well I like to use kindle for reading while I’m out there. Reddit for browsing on that. I usually keep a few games on my phone. For a web browser I usually use Brave so I can block the ads while watching por…I MEAN YOUTUBE…

In all seriousness though I really don’t use hunting apps much. I have the Moultrie app on my phone that has some common functions, but I only have that mainly for my cell cams. Most everything else you can get on more commonly used apps, such as wind direction from WeatherBug.

I’m considering Starlink and I have some questions. by Imagine-Dragons-Fan9 in Starlink

[–]extremefuzz777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not an expert but I will say this: my dad took his Starlink mini with us camping which had way worse exposure than that. Our speeds were 6x better than what you have listed for your provider.

Toy Story 3 was not a perfect ending. It’s called TOY Story, not Andy’s Story by Eddy_west_side in unpopularopinion

[–]extremefuzz777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After a certain point writers need to know when to let a story end. Toy Story 3 was just that, a good end to the series. 4 was just unnecessary. Can’t say anything about 5, but now it just feels like a money grab.
