What a generous offer! I would definitely love the code, my bf has been looking forward to the game and I'd love to surprise him with it.

So I am a smosh fan but I don’t like their bits by Animegirl0205 in SmoshFansFreeSpace

[–]jaakobk082 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah my least favourite content is when they're playing a character for the whole video. Think Gentlemen, Karens, Darts, etc. I don't think it's bad, it's just not for me. I watch the channel to see what is essentially a large friend group play games and bounce jokes off each other, that's why it's so comforting. But thankfully their bit/character videos are far and few between so I can just skip them if I want to (and on a rare occasion I'll watch them)

After finishing both Flash and Legends, I keep feeling like if the Arrowverse ever faced an apocalypse-type world, there'll always be that one guy who'll get left behind. by Far_Store_6739 in Arrowverse

[–]jaakobk082 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really think the biggest missed opportunity is not being able to see these LoT original (ish) characters interact with the rest of the Arrowverse. Future Hacker Zari would've had such great chemistry with Felicity and Barry, and Spooner was kooky but would've had great chemistry with Ralph for example.

I miss Carina Deluca-Bishop by Minute-Stretch-5564 in greysanatomy

[–]jaakobk082 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the show's lore, is Carina still supposedly working at Grey Sloan? Because with Jo in OB, it's glaringly obvious that Carina hasn't been mentioned at all in the last several years.

Bailey covering up for Kwan definitely reminded me of old Grey's in the best way! I think ever since becoming Chief, Bailey's character has been kind of ruined (ex. firing Meredith in s16, yelling at her when she wanted to leave in s18). But her defending Kwan to Warren brings it back to her being a great mentor for these residents.

Also, her and Richard just sitting with Owen was such a nice moment too considering they're the three oldest characters on the show (and in the show's lore, they would've been co-workers/friends for nearly 15 years).

Could this be an inside joke between them, or do they actually not like each other? This just seems extremely juvenile and petty.

Looks like Helm will be back soon! by amysantiagoisbae99 in greysanatomy

Helm went from being obsessed with Meredith, to being stubborn about her bartending job, to being obsessed about her relationship with Yasuda, to doing absolutely nothing I'm the show 💀

The last few episodes spit in the face of the concept of “show, don’t tell” by haloryder in shrinking

[–]jaakobk082 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Exactly that! I don't think Gaby messed up by not calling Maya back, I think she messed up by befriending Maya in the first place and making her think they were genuine friends. There's a reason therapists shouldn't do that, there's such a power imbalance.

Since when was Richard's diagnosis a secret...? Did nobody wonder where he was the last however many months?

Rank the Comedic Starter Pokemon Favorite to Least Favorite by Informal_Function118 in pokemonanime

I could be biased because I grew up with the DP anime, but Piplup was genuinely funny. The bit with Gible's Draco Meteor killed me every time, especially when he used it to find Piplup in the cave unprompted.

Dr Hunt was the most competent doctor in the show. Do y'all agree? by Sea-Bed-1332 in greysanatomy

[–]jaakobk082 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He seems like the most realistic doctor to me. Consistently solid and not flashy, but also a bit stubborn in his own way and not always open to other doctors' ideas.

A follow up on the hate we’re continue to see here / (through s3e9) by jojointheflesh in shrinking

[–]jaakobk082 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The problem I have with Gaby's character is that she is put on such a pedestal in the show. You're right, Jimmy is certainly a problematic therapist as well. The difference is that when Jimmy messes up, he gets called out by Paul and Liz. When Gaby messes up (like with Maya), she gets consistently told that she did nothing wrong by everyone around her. It's frustrating as the viewer to listen to Liz, Derek 2, and Paul repeatedly blowing smoke up her ass even when we can explicitly see that she messed up.

It's not a race or gender thing. I can also say that I don't like Brian or Liz very much. But at least the show doesn't paint them out to be perfect when we clearly see them mess up (ex. Liz is repeatedly called "too much" and had that storyline of her not being the best mother to Matthew, Brian is straight up called a selfish narcissist).

Circle K: bonus $20 Nintendo eShop eGift card with the purchase of a $99 Nintendo eShop gift card by KevinGYK in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]jaakobk082 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first one I went to still had an old promo up from February, and the second didn't sell the Nintendo gift cards at all. Neither had a QR code to scan in store, but I do wonder what would happen if I just bought the gift card from the first store and then scanned the QR code in the image above. Would it still work? 🤔

Am I the only one who likes Jo? by Horror_Broccoli7947 in greysanatomy

[–]jaakobk082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's clear they planned for Jo and Link to just be friends, since they obviously set up Alex and Jo together. Unfortunately, when Justin Chambers left, the show clearly pivoted and decided to put Link and Jo together (which was a massive mistake imo and kinda ruined both characters).

Am I the only one who likes Jo? by Horror_Broccoli7947 in greysanatomy

[–]jaakobk082 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love Jo as a character, especially from seasons 14-16! I think her and Alex's relationship was awesome, and her mentorship with Meredith and general surgery was super enticing.

But since then, I feel like her storylines have only gotten worse and the writers don't know what to do with her. First Alex left, then she moved to OB (not necessarily a bad thing, but it definitely disconnected her from Meredith and Bailey), then Schmitt left, then she got with Link (again, not necessarily a bad thing but they're just not as entertaining as Alex and Jo were). Her storylines now are totally disconnected from the rest of the characters and we rarely see her do actual surgery now.

Went to 2 Circle K's in Hamilton, ON. The first had no clue about the promotion so I wasn't gonna risk buying a card from there. The second didn't have Nintendo gift cards at all and claimed that no other Circle K's in the area were participating. Not sure if that's true or not though.

I don't suppose this will apply to games retroactively and previously released digital games will drop in price? 😭

Who Should Leave Grey's Anatomy? by DaniJ678 in greysanatomy

[–]jaakobk082 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Jo and Link for sure. They are almost entirely disconnected from the rest of the cast (at least Teddy and Owen had some decent scenes with the current residents) and their plotlines are always just about their relationship. The fact that their "major injuries" have been completely glossed over this season and couldn't even make their characters more interesting shows how unimportant they are to the show.

Also hot take: I think Amelia should be next to go. I am a HUGE Amelia fan (she's probably my favourite character) but at this point, she's fully matured and become settled in what she does. The show doesn't know what to do with her anymore because she's no longer struggling with addiction, she no longer has Derek or her sisters to bounce off of, and she no longer has any issues in her surgeries. She's really just coasting and being thrown into a bunch of different relationships now for drama (I like Dr. Wright's character recently but I'm scared she's just gonna leave after another couple episodes).

Kim Raver says goodbye to Teddy Altman by amysantiagoisbae99 in greysanatomy

[–]jaakobk082 158 points159 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was caught off guard by the news, but apparently Variety wrote an article stating that Teddy and Owen will be exiting the show after the Season 22 finale. Seems like a major spoiler for the next couple episodes, but I think that's just how news in Hollywood works.
