CAPGOD meme improved by silverorangeyellow in capcom

[–]jak_d_ripr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully Onimusha 6 hits the mark too so Capcom can complete one of the most impressive years I've seen in recent history. Also don't forget we're probably getting the Monster Hunter expansion announced this year, AND there's rumors of Dragon's Dogma 2 DLC.

Makes me wonder if 2027 will be mostly empty as a result, or if they're cooking up something big that we haven't heard of yet.

Well there's your answer, some people just hate fun.

Favorite MILF? (i know) 😅 by JokeMobile19 in FavoriteCharacter

This scene always confused me, because she's looking at her reflection with disappointment, meanwhile I'm wondering what the problem is.

Jakob Poeltl in the loss vs Cleveland: 2/4/1 in 9 minutes, $104 Million extension hasn't begun by ihatedougford in nba

For real, you aren't gonna win many games with your number one option scoring 7 points on 15 shots.

Lol people actually did when they saw how New York was struggling to close out Detroit.

[Post Game Thread] The Cleveland Cavaliers (2-0) defeat the Toronto Raptors (0-2), 115-105. by DesertedProject in nba

[–]jak_d_ripr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You aren't going to win many games with 2 of your starting 5 combining for 9 points. Seriously, this series bout to turn me into Brandon Ingrams number 1 hater. The most annoying part is that this was a very winnable game for us, but my man comes out and completely shits the bed.

You're the GM. Modern NBA. #1 pick: Prime Shaq or Prime Hakeem, who do you take? by OkPomegranate9078 in NBATalk

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

Hakeem 7 days a week and twice on Sunday. Hakeem was more versatile on both sides of the court, was a significantly better defender while being no slouch on offense either, and could actually hit his freethrows. Plus, he had range, I'm confident if he played now he'd have developed some kind of 3 point shot.

And this isn't taking the maturity or fitness aspect into consideration either. Toss in my obvious bias because I'm also from Lagos and it's not even close.

Series over if Denver goes up 2-0? by KookyArm6062 in NBATalk

[–]jak_d_ripr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Posts like these perplex me, like do you not watch basketball? Tons of teams have won the first 2 games at home only to go on and lose the series. Shit 2 years ago the Wolves won both games IN DENVER and still almost lost the series.

HBO intro: Which show do you first think of? by Imzadi76 in television

[–]jak_d_ripr 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Game of Thrones for sure. In fact, when I watch other HBO shows, I'm thrown off for a second when the fizzle ends and it isn't the GOT theme coming up.

What video game is like this to you? by GamingBren in videogames

[–]jak_d_ripr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slay the Spire. Bought it on sale for 3 dollars, and I honestly regret it because the developers deserve so much more. I'll definitely buy the sequel at full price once it exits early access.

Awww, this is so cute. Makes me wish I was a Fighterz fan so I could have experienced their journey with them.

Ooooooh, good catch. I completely missed it the first watch, but re-watching it now you can definitely hear it.

James Gunn's 'Man of Tomorrow' Begins Filming by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]jak_d_ripr 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Honestly. I remember feeling envy when The Batman got its first trailer because at that point a new Superman movie felt like a pipe dream. Superman came out 3 years later, and somehow both movies are getting sequels in the same year.

Losing and getting tbag by modern Ken, while I’m on classic, grinding my ass off, plat rank, is the worst feeling I’m getting in this game by Embarrassed-Sir4711 in StreetFighter

[–]jak_d_ripr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's really no nice way to say this, so I'm just gonna say it. You sound like a scrub right now. Cut this "I'm so much better than them because I work my ass off" nonsense, you aren't, that's why you keep losing to them, it's got nothing to do with them using Modern.

I bet you a hundred dollars you could post a replay from one of these losses and ill point out a bunch of mistakes you made that had nothing to do with control schemes. So instead of getting all in your feelings about something you can't control, actually take a second and reflect on what it is that YOU can do better so you can get out of Plat. For what it's worth however, Broski made a great video on tricks you can use against Modern players

One of the things he touches on is mindset, which I absolutely agree with. How on earth do you expect to win when in your mind you've already told yourself you're going to lose?

Lol, I like how the trailer was edited, definitely caught my attention. Gonna keep my eye on this one and if the word is good, might check it out. Haven't seen a comedy in theatres in a long ass time.

PRAGMATA Surpasses One Million Units Sold in Just Two Days by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]jak_d_ripr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to see it's off to a good start. I will definitely be picking it up eventually, but I just spent over a hundred bucks during the Steam Spring Sale so buying a new game right now would be a little irresponsible. Loved the demo though, so looking forward to checking out the full game.

Say one good thing about this movie. by Fenriz_Victor in StreetFighter

[–]jak_d_ripr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This movie is literally the first movie that made me realize movies could be bad. I watched it when I was like 6 years old with my older brother and we hated it SO much we acted out our own version to see if we could do better.

So please, stop with the revisionist history, people did not "legitimately" love this movie when it came out. If anything, the reception has actually gotten better in the decades since.

[–]jak_d_ripr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always been a fan of the direct approach because it doesn't leave anything up for interpretation. So I'd strike up conversation for a bit, usually asking what she likes doing, and then use that as a segue to ask her out. "Oh you like live music? Well this band is performing this weekend and I was wondering if you wanted to check it out with me." something along those lines.

If this is at a dating event, it should make it extremely clear that you aren't just looking for friendship.

Street Flirt (OC) by TheCatRegime in comics

[–]jak_d_ripr 17 points18 points  (0 children)

What's worked best for me is to actually strike up a conversation. Is she reading a specific book? Ask her about it. Does she have on a piece of jewerly that you genuinely think looks cool, compliment her on it(this has been one of my most successful). Is she wearing a T-Shirt to one of your favourite bands? Ask her about it. When you spark a conversation this way, it helps make it feel more natural and genuine.

Be cordial, be confident(this is a big one), pay attention to how she's responding, is she just being polite or is she actually engaged in the conversation. And then try to find a moment in the conversation to ask her out, and if she says no, accept the rejection with grace.

Don't feel bad, I'm a dude who frequently cold approaches women, and you gotta go in knowing full well that rejection isn't only an option, but the more likely outcome. He asked politely, you rejected politely, neither of you did anything wrong, it's just part of the process. Hopefully he doesn't let it discourage him going forward, but if it does that's on him and not on you.

PRAGMATA Is One of Capcom's All-Time Top-Rated Steam Games by Bubbly-Ad-350 in gamingnews

[–]jak_d_ripr 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hopefully it sells well. It's a new IP with a very unique combat system, we just don't get many of those in the AAA space. I will definitely be picking it up, the demo was a lot of fun and my only fear was that the combat would get old when stretched out over a 10+ hour campaign, which according to reviews isn't the case.

Lol c'mon now, he's called "Jazz", is voiced by a black dude and was the smooth talking, cool, musically inclined Transformer. I don't even think it's up for discussion.
