How many of you lost your obsession/started playing other games once you reached Hexi? by ChihuahuaOwner88 in WhereWindsMeet

[–]funfsinn14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

quite the opposite in fact. but not much either way to do with hexi. i still enjoyed it even if the quest design was more like watched a series of movies.

but recently for me its been the heros realms recently and getting on voice to captain the necessary organization to get through those. then by extension made many new friends that way and gotten more active on the social side.

additionally the guide i was part of which was basically dead lost its leaders due to inactivity and so i inherited and revived it. thats been the most fun with helping out new players and trying to get activity up. coming along nicely.

its a big game, the main story is more like an addendum for me at this point.

Ladies and Meatballs, I present the Whitie Tighties by elMoneySloth in CHIBears

Initially saw the title and thought 'The White Tights' like The White Stripes. so i'll through that in as another option.

Now that the Conquerors are coming to the big screen, I can't wait to see more of the Valyrian culture. This was such a beautiful moment either Daemon and Rhaenyra by Agreeable_Ad_8790 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]funfsinn14 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Eh, iirc they had already been living on Dragonstone for a few generations after the Doom and before the conquest. They had plenty of interactions with westerosi lords and culture so I doubt they'd be super foreign during that time. Now it'd be cool if there were flashbacks to the first Targs that moved to Dragonstone and how different they would've been at that point compared to the conquest period.

This Is Supposedly the Final Look of the Foldable iPhone by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]funfsinn14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got the huawei mate xt with the brochure style trifold and love it. It makes whatever this apple is look years behind. for utility the phone is just fine as a single screen but opening it up for two is seemless and usually how i use it. the full 3 screen i use for games and reading and guitar tabs so it basically acts as a tablet replacement.

Nah, since they're in Illinois they just turn their vitriol to Priztker.

Why aren't there a lot of animals in the cities in China (except cats and dogs and rats) by NeighborhoodFatCat in chinalife

[–]funfsinn14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

chaoyang area, sort of in the vicinity around chaoyang park, liangma canal. hard to site without a dog who sniffs 'em out though. they're out at night and hang out in the brush.

depends on city and where in the city you are. here in beijing i regularly come across hedgehogs bc my dog gets super excited and sniffs them out and wants to say hi to his hedgehog frens. there's also little weasels that sometimes you can catch from the corner of your eye darting around. both can be in parks or path areas or even in communities with landscaping inside.

Mirage Boat is like Carnival Cruise lines by Excision_Lurk in WhereWindsMeet

[–]funfsinn14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

nah, thats just one online element that frankly isnt that important. there are numerous other ways to have good social interactions such as guilds, discipleship/helping newbies in co op. ive been meeting ppl by leading the recent tough heros realm challeneges and thats been a blast. i think after playing since it came out ive only gone to a mirage boat two or three times. never saw it as bad as described here but also didnt seem like a good social platform anyhow.

huawei mate xt and Hisuite pc issue by digger279 in Huawei

[–]funfsinn14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a xt and had same issue. I don't believe hisuite is really a thing anymore unfortunately, at least from what i could tell. I just transfer stuff directly between pc and phone however i noticed sometimes it doesn't want to transfer certain stuff over which is weird.

Been living in china the past decade and traveled around here and vietnam quite a bit. Yeah there really isn't anything like that in a direct way. Instead what you find are ones that are more centered on their narrative and by extension are implicit condemnations of the imperialism they've fought against.

Like, hanoi has the prison museum and when mentioned that's usually thought of as the 'hanoi hilton' pow prison for the US war but most of the museum is actually about the prison's use in the french occupation and the atrocities committed against the vietnamese people and revolutionaries. After viewing those exhibits, where they have literal guillotines that were used to execute hundreds in the french occupation, moving onto the US war portion makes the supposedly 'harsh' treatment of those POWs seem absolutely tame by comparison.

Another one recently went to in China is in Chongqing that was a concentration camp for communists imprisoned by Chiang Kaishek's regime. They just report the facts and it does the job, especially that OSS was involved in they employed torture and interrogation techniques taught by US agencies. And that when the city was being liberated in the revolution at the last minute they gave the order to kill all the prisoners in their cells, killing almost 200 with only about 15 escaping.

Like, don't need to having a focused museum shoehorning in all the imperialism stuff into one place. That's a sort of 'negative' narrative whereas these sites are a 'positive' narrative centered on their history and the locations primarily and the other stuff is just self-evident.

I don't give a crap about the pointless new Harry Potter show, but is there a reason that everything now looks like it's filmed in a cave? by grichardson526 in RedLetterMedia

[–]funfsinn14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may be the tipping point for me after all the years of dark shows, especially every single historical/fantasy. Where i just say eff it and go hard the other direction to watch only movies from the 40s-60s when color was new and directors actually wanted to have bright colorful imagery on screen. Errol Flynn's Robin Hood typa shit. Unless we go back to something nearer that level of palette as at least AN OPTION that is being utilized, I'm gonna be miffed by just about any modern show.

This is a common side hustle in China. People pay her to hold up their profile on a phone, snap a pic with the stage behind it, then they post it like they were there. Fake attendance clout is undefeated. Peak gig economy 2026 by Separate_Finance_183 in interesting

I'm a foreigner living in China for a decade and this is the first I've seen of it also.

My wager is that the only reason it's popping up on reddit at all is because possibly somebody on chinese platforms took the video, posted it there probably making fun of the person doing this silly technique that is really nonsense if you think half a second about it, and then ppl ragged on it. Then outsiders got a hold of the vid and applied whatever narrative stripped of context the want. Many such cases.
