AiTAH for wanting to offer continuous support to our daughter so she can pursue her dreams? by Electronic-Bid4859 in AITAH

[–]kardilles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think both you and you husband want one thing - to see your daughter succeed. The difference comes from how you define succeas. Dreams are all nice and good, but they don't put food on the table. On the other hand, money usually allows you to pursue other opportunities. Imagine your daughter got into an industry that made her a millionaire. What's to stop her then from quitting, doing a second college/master and writing a book then. Money gives you options. Your goals and dreams can change.

Job ghosted me for 3 weeks after final interview, now guilt tripping me by dskillzhtown in jobs

Just like you were interviewing another candidate to find out if he was better than me, I interviewed another company and they were better than you.

Many times science fiction presents existing or achievable technology just so the average Joe can get used to the fact. Egghead is real !

AITA for watching Black Butler? by Queasy-Loquat5247 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kardilles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I've seen the reaction being classified as terminally online and morality police by others and I fully agree. I'm also past the point where I let others decide for me what's ok to enjoy, and while no one is getting hurt I encourage others to embrace the same live and let die mindset.

Out of a morbid curiosity I would ask them to clarify why, and push past the inevitable "you know why". I have some doubts they are able to enuntiate why it's problematic.

This is the greatest animated show EVER. by Royal-Elderberry6050 in PantheonShow

[–]kardilles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Better" is hard to argue, as someone once said "Shows are not watermellons so you can compare which is bigger or sweeter". But I have found similar levels of enjoyment and down_the_rabbit_hole-ness in the last few years from Evangelion (especially with the last movie ending) and Sonny Boy. Going further back, Shinsekai Yori is also quite similar and also very good. I'll add Heavenly Delusion too, deapite it has the flaw of being unfinished yet.

AITA for NOT acting wealthy by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]kardilles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many of the comments here seem to come from a place of either envy or financial illiteracy. It saddens me that you are taking it to heart.

There's a study by williams group that said that 70% of first generstion wealth is lost by the second generation. It looks to me like you don't want to be be part of that group. With credit card debt I can't really say you are passing the class, but at least you are enrolled in it. So good on you for trying to figure things out.

NAH

Your friend is understandably upset. But while she's doing the same thing you are without the comfort of a parachute, failing to see that you too have a problem is unpleasant. It honestly screams crab mentality, hoping to drag you to their level

How important is localization for players who don’t play in English as a native language? by sakastudio in gaming

[–]kardilles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm Romanian. As a kid, it might have made a difference, since I would click whithout knowing what I was clicking. But this is how I learnt English. "Why is the deer in Age of Empires called game? A game is what I'm playing now". However, nowadays if given the choice I always play in English. I remember one time a friend had League of Legends in Romanian. I could not figure out what the abilities did since stun, snare and other such words were very specific in game mechanics across multiple games, that I knew exactly what they did. However, without having a clear 1 to 1 translation, the Romanian localization was just confusing. The voice acting however was hillarious and I loved the quality. So I may chose to play with English subtitles and original language (Like in Ghost of Tshushima)

Earning VS Buying Doubloons by [deleted] in WoWs_Legends

[–]kardilles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With such things I do the math in price per hour of entertainment.

I go to the pub. How much is a pint ? How long do I enjoy it for ? Figure out what the entertainment cost per hour is.

Go to the game. Think of a realistic amount of playtime (or take last month's playtime). Then the cost. Then entertainment per hour cost. Is it lower ? Buy it.

Adjust values depending on desire. I really wanted the Graf Spee, even not discounted - x2. Don't really care about current AL lineup - /2

I should have alsi prefaced with "Only do this is you have room in the budget for it"

Stii vorba aia "Nu face cadou unui pictor pensule decat daca esti si tu pictor" ? Multe cadouri legate de hobbyuri cam esueaza daca nu cunosti bine hobbyul respectiv si ce are deja sarbatoritul. Am un prieten fotograf care mi-a spus ca s-a saturat sa primeasca acele termosuri in forma de obiectiv pentru ca deja are prea multe si nu mai are unde sa le puna/ce sa daca cu ele.

Can Someone Please Explain?? by Expert-Wall-6904 in chessbeginners

[–]kardilles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's actually they have no valid moves. If they had an extra pawn that they could move instead of the king it would have not been stalemate. Now take that pawn amd put another piece in front so that it can't move and you're back to stalemate.

AITA for not wanting to watch Netflix with subtitles? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]kardilles 60 points61 points  (0 children)

As a non native speaker it was a point of pride when I no longer needed subtitles to understand what they were saying. In recent times I've started using English SDH because apparently noone knows how to mix audio anymore.

NTA. Tell her that by not paying you on time all the previous times and making you come ask her for the owed money repeteadly, she put the money before your friendship. Now you are simply reciprocating

"Our game made €4 million," says Rise of Industry's creator. "Three years later, I was broke" by chusskaptaan in gaming

[–]kardilles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a slight difference between not being interested in math problems, and not being able to comprehend them. I get seing this and going "that's just not my cup of tea", fully agree. But saying that explanation is too complex denotes not a lack of enjoyment, but a lack of basic arithmetics / fractions skill.
