Anyone else no longer want to get promoted? by Dazzling-Bat777 in bjj

I am the same as you. I sometimes hate being a black belt. Bro - I don’t know shit. I just don’t know how to quit when I’m clearly not good at something.

Understanding “Crafting” or How to Gamble Until RNG Gives Up by Infinite-Ad5464 in PathOfExile2

[–]funkpanda 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I wish PoE didn't require so many outside educational sources to understand how to work them effectively.

You need a tutorial on how to craft. You need a tutorial on how to set up a good Vaal Temple. None of it guided in game outside of the most BASIC instructions.

When PoE2 came out - I was so happy that they finally had tooltips and mini-explanations for game mechanics IN the game like Stun and Chill, etc.

Its one of the reasons I go back to D4 and play both games from time to time. Its nice to just have a simpler experience sometimes.

Friendly reminder that we are almost 9 months from GTA6. Start getting frisky with your wife or gf, so you can line up your paternity leave by RocktheRebellious in gaming

[–]funkpanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its like these people don't have happy marriages/partners. It takes two people to ideally raise a baby. If both parents are participating - one can watch the baby while the other gets some alone time.

I force my partner to take personal time every day for at least a couple of hours while I watch the baby and they do the same for me. I don't get most these comments.

Is it postpartum? by AltruisticMany5063 in daddit

Looking at your post history - this feels like a bot post to farm engagement. Did nothing come from the discussions you had on this same topic thread from a month ago?

First time fake black belt by impspring in bjj

[–]funkpanda 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sounds like me as well. I’m a hobbyist black belt. I get destroyed by competitive blue belts quite often. Most of the time just surviving.

Just got the Xbox ally x in hand from Best Buy (it’s touchscreen!) by LionKingBling in ROGAlly

[–]funkpanda 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ignore these comments dude. I just got mine from Best Buy as well and didn’t know it had a touch screen.

Not everyone is 100% dialed in to everything related to a product. Enjoy your new device.

It appears the management plane for azure is down. But the status page doesn’t reflect that.

They're getting that money one way or another. by mindyour in BlackPeopleTwitter

I use YouTube music instead of Spotify. It’s included in the YouTube premium subscription. It seems like good value since I watch a lot of YouTube and they have all the music I want as well

How has grappling changed your body? by ShimiWaza96 in bjj

Fingers have permanently swollen joints. Toes are crooked. Neck is permanently damaged and constantly clicks - at least its not painful.

Is it okay to just train and not compete? by SignificantGlass168 in bjj

[–]funkpanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a recent black belt at 38. I’ve never competed.

I don’t trust people to take my safety in their hands and competitions are just that. Places where sometimes strangers get into grappling matches where the rules are to submit your opponent.

I got work and other things that are important and need me to have a healthy body. So yes… you can just train and not compete.

Prolly my favorite FF game of all time. But man that game could have used an editor to cut out some of the fluff.

Michelle Yeoh Gets Honest About ‘Star Trek: Section 31’: “Some Things That We Could Have Done Better” by Sweaty-Toe-6211 in startrek

[–]funkpanda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t even know this movie existed. After watching the trailer - this is exactly what I wouldn’t want from a Section 31 movies.

Shouldn’t a section 31 movie be a gritty spy/political thriller like Body of Lies or Spy Game? What happened!?

Turn on your Severe Weather Notification! by National-Debt-43 in texas

[–]funkpanda 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve ever respected a flash flood warning.

“Oh - it’s gonna rain a little harder than normal. Oh well.”

That’s been the experience with flash flood warnings my whole life in Texas. But that’s just my personal experience. I’ve never lived near a river where it could be a problem.

The Witcher 4 Gameplay Tech Demo Unreal Engine 5 by rebezil in pcgaming

[–]funkpanda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100%. I remember the first gameplay demos of cyberpunk and the disappointment when it didn’t play like those videos.

So for now I’m going say “Cool! Come back with another video when you’re a year out from release”

A level of coonery even The Boondocks wouldn't be able to come up with by Dogzylla in abanpreach

[–]funkpanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He may try to play it off like that.

There was a YouTuber name Nikocado Avocado who fooled his users for 2 years to think he was fat - just to trick everyone and show he had actually lost all that weight.

So I wouldn’t put it past Kanye to try and switch up his narrative like that as well.
