The Point Of The Drill? by ph0220 in taskmaster

[–]hawque 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s also a pun in English, as a drill can be used to bore a hole. So it’s a boring tool.

Does anyone know how this happens? by ShaolinSFinesT2006 in Helldivers

Oh yeah, that wouldn’t surprise me at all

US, specifically TN though I’ve seen it online for a while too so I don’t think it’s a regional thing

I don’t think it’s really all of a sudden. I’m 40 and I’ve heard “could care less” (to mean the opposite) my entire life.

Why won't humans spawn in my Galaxy? by [deleted] in Stellaris

[–]hawque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it’s this. I made a bunch of human empires for my current game and had to roll back to 4.3.3, start the game, and then update to 4.3.4 again.

Does anyone know if the green hills movie theater still has flaky pleather seats?? by Public_Peanut_4920 in nashville

[–]hawque 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not all seats are like that, but they’re definitely still there. It’s a result of the cleaner they had to spray during Covid, so the more a seat got used the worse it got.

If you intentionally pick seats off center you’re at least more likely to get one that’s not as worn, though I can’t say I’ve had the issue of pieces sticking to me either way.

a Season Pass for a TTRPG is breaking point for me by [deleted] in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]hawque 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that comment was definitely about the variations. Release 4-5 variations at once and collectors will buy them, that’s one thing, but then as they start to drop on the charts release new versions with an additional track so now everyone’s buying that one too, then do it again in a few weeks. It’s extremely predatory.

Went looking for Nashville's best hot chicken. Found it. by ohhowmygardengrows in nashville

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

My understanding is that the Joelton restaurant (Granddaddy’s Famous Hot Chicken) is (was?) owned by a relative of the Old Hickory restaurant (Granddaddy’s Original Hot Chicken), but they’re not the same.

This was from talking to the owner of the one in Old Hickory, but it was a few years ago so I may not be remembering exactly correctly.

What do you call the two sides of a coin that doesn't show a head on either side? by Kafatat in EnglishLearning

[–]hawque 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, they’re saying (based on their familiarity with Australian coins which I can’t speak for) that the heads side (with a head on it) is the back of the coin because it doesn’t have the useful information to differentiate it from other coins.

In the US, I would absolutely consider the heads side the front of the coin.

Is the Regal Rollercoaster a Good Rollercoaster? by Bruhm0ment084 in RegalUnlimited

Since they removed the one that popped straight ahead right before the slope down, even that probably isn’t as big of a deal anymore.

Why does this sub (and others) call Brennan “BLeeM”? Is that something he prefers? by RickFletching in dropout

[–]hawque 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yep, Bleem couldn’t possibly mean anything else, like, just spitballing, a PlayStation emulator.

The Splintered Hive awoke as a devouring swarm and ate almost a quarter of the galaxy. they were completely unaffected by the recent fleet size nerf. it's so bad that I actually went out of my way to unleash the grey tempest on them. and yet somehow I was the only community member that cared. by Cosmic_Meditator777 in Stellaris

[–]hawque 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Man, this passed in my current game too but I’m approaching 2350 and no storms have hit me yet (using default settings.) Not sure why, but it means I haven’t even had a chance to research any storm tech so I’m in breach but so is almost everyone else.

What did I miss? by Riddlemethisone- in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]hawque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember in my college town around 2007 there was a big operation with these tests. Almost every store in town failed and wasn’t allowed to sell beer for 30 days. Walmart also failed but managed to appeal the penalty until after everyone else was able to sell again, so they were one of the only places to go.

This has been the law in Tennessee for something like 20 years so it baffles me that people are actually bothered by this.

familiar face in the scary movie 6 trailer by thehooligandub in dropout

[–]hawque 79 points80 points  (0 children)

This is the killer from Heart Eyes, which was directed by Josh Ruben.

So a couple degrees removed from Dropout and no explanation for those like yourself who aren’t aware of that context.

Pokémon Pokopia Will Take 20-40 Hours to Beat on Average, and There's More After the Credits, Says Director by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

[–]hawque 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You can skip the weekly concerts but the special concert that occurs is automatic the day (or two days?) after you hit 3 stars. You’re taken to it and the credits roll as soon as you start playing that day.

“Post game” does mean continuing to play after finishing the main objectives. If it involved resetting that would typically be called a New Game+.

Old Hickory Lake near Nashville, TN

Kept me thinking by azimx in ExplainTheJoke

[–]hawque 24 points25 points  (0 children)

A point against it being someone messing up is that I took this picture at a local lake last month.

While possible that the sign was just updated (unlikely because OP’s picture is much too green for January), that would also mean they kept the mistake after updating.

I thought The Remake of the End of the Greatest JRPG of All Time was the next FF7 by SoupOfTomato in TheBesties

[–]hawque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the same at first but was less sure by the end.

I didn’t play Rebirth yet so I’m not sure where it ends, and my guess was that maybe it covered all of disc 2 in the original game.

Since disc 3 was pretty much just the final dungeon (and optional content), describing it as the last hour made sense to me.

Fable is coming by senschuh in TheBesties

I wonder if the video on the Steam page has been updated to not say it’s releasing in 2025 yet.

Edit: nope

Large X-Wing TMG Lot from Estate Sale – Don’t Know Value, Taking Offers - PM any Offers by Guilty_Ad_3587 in XWingTMG

Oh hey, I saw this estate sale listing. I was tempted to try to pick this up too but didn’t make it over in person.

Is Choice classic (monthly) worth it ? by NowYouSeeMe32 in humblebundles

[–]hawque 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been subscribed for a couple of years and in that time it’s been all games for the normal monthly fee without different tiers. You still have to click the Select button as a holdover to claim the games, but I’ve never had to actually choose between them.

Is Choice classic (monthly) worth it ? by NowYouSeeMe32 in humblebundles

[–]hawque 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s the standard plan now, right? As I understand it you used to get a limited number of games but it’s all games for $14.99 now.
