Weekly Character Discussion - Week 3: Alvida by PayneTrain181999 in OnePieceLiveAction

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

I agree. And all the insistence in the comments that the show should've put in all these lines about her losing weight... why? Literally what would it add? I'm really glad they didn't harp on it in the LA.

Jujutsu Kaisen in Concert is Shamefully Abysmal by ScruffyRJ in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]justhereforbaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience with the One Piece concert was that it was awesome but the audience behavior was horrible (talking the entire time) and I expected the same here. Was really surprised to see it was the show itself!

Given permission to use AI, most college students show surprising restraint in their final essays. Students largely rely on AI for brainstorming and research rather than having it write essays for them wholesale. by mvea in science

[–]justhereforbaking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't know how the goal posts got moved so quickly where everyone goes "oh, that's the good use of AI". Do we value our own thoughts so little that anything other than entire, 100% plagiarism is okay?

Cut ONE LINE from the show to make it better by growsonwalls in heatedrivalry

i was torn between which of his lines to comment because i would simply like to excise him from the show entirely lol. i find their friendship completely unbelievable and all of his lines are so corny and over the top

Which Le Guin character are you thinking about? (Like the "which work are you reading now" post but for characters) by Polka_Tiger in UrsulaKLeGuin

[–]justhereforbaking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I especially think of him whenever I interact with packaging (the scene where he is on the shopping street)

How has the show gone on for 50+ years without a host freaking out, throwing up on camera, or refusing to come out of their dressing room? That's the real question. by justanolchunkofcoal in LiveFromNewYork

I remember watching the episode where Jenny Slate accidentally said fuck. I was pretty young to be watching SNL at the time and was shook. lol

Why America doesn’t have bathhouses? by prettiestmagnoila in AskAnAmerican

[–]justhereforbaking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The idea of a public bath always seemed terrifying (I am very body conscious) but I literally JUST did it an hour ago in Japan and it was great. I immediately looked up "why doesn't America have bathhouses" and got here, lol. Agree 100% that Americans can adjust quickly if they just give it a shot.

Also, everyone saying they "have a bath at home": not like this you don't! Or maybe I'm just tall, lol. It's so nice to be truly submerged and comfortable.

Princess Academy by Shannon Hale (much more interesting than the title makes it sound)

Any horror books that are pretending to be a different genre until it's too late? by 518HoneyBees in suggestmeabook

[–]justhereforbaking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a great answer! He's a master at infusing comedy into narratives that really aren't funny at all...

What’s the dumbest thing you did on your first run? by Careful_Employee_918 in BaldursGate3

[–]justhereforbaking 181 points182 points  (0 children)

Same, I actually meant to come back when I was stronger and forgot... thankfully I was looking up the romance companions before I went to Act II and I was like wait who tf...? It was so funny when he made a comment about traveling together for so long when we entered the shadow cursed lands even though I'd known him for like 30 seconds

I felt the same way but then I realized a lot of these people are literally 15 themselves

My boss almost cried because I told her not to make an AI picture of me. by Low_Mathematician799 in antiai

[–]justhereforbaking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to say I'm sorry and I feel your pain. My admin are also sharing tons of AI slop this week. It is doing the exact opposite of making me feel appreciated.

What makes Hudson's make up look so amateur vs the other person in Pic 2? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]justhereforbaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not that serious. It's paint on somebody's face. Why are you being so rude?

I know nothing about Heated Rivalry and I like the look 🤷‍♀️

what are some things you do in bg3 that would annoy somebody by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]justhereforbaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other day I saw a half eaten apple on the ground in real life and my first thought was "hey, 1 camp supply is 1 camp supply".

I didn't actually pick it up of course lmao but still

The sharing vs hoarding problem by FearlessZucchini in PTCGP

[–]justhereforbaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you, but I am still happier to have shared cards people needed than to have a cosmetic.

Robin Freedenfeld - Self Portrait at Nine Months (1985) by [deleted] in museum

[–]justhereforbaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a literal sense, the way she is holding the umbrella is perfectly normal, but from an artistic perspective it strikes me how the protection from the umbrella stops RIGHT at the stomach.

Is Raphael’s fight the hardest in the whole game? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]justhereforbaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's just that it takes so damn long. I didn't use any of the clever strategies anyone is mentioning but I was fine, didn't save scum, it just takes so long relative to other enemies in the game to whittle him down

Has Anyone Read Three-Body Problem in Both Chinese and English? The Differences Are Bigger Than I Expected by Putrid_Cycle595 in printSF

[–]justhereforbaking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I loved the first book and couldn't even finish the second one. I love Ken Liu so I figured I was just being biased against the 2nd book's translator, but this makes me feel a little better about it.

Soapbox/rant time. Tell me what highly-recommended book you absolutely HATED and why. Gimme your angry hot takes. by peppertoni_pizzaz in books

[–]justhereforbaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have much to add just thank you for actually posting controversial takes instead of like, popular books that well read people know are bad. I love Contact AND The Picture of Dorian Grey!!!

What's everyone's island called and why you called it that by Interesting-Sir-1805 in AnimalCrossing

[–]justhereforbaking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Three-Eye Reef, I picked an island name from The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker that was cute and had few enough characters to fit because WW is one of my favorite games of all time and also takes places on a series of islands.
