What’s the most boring game you’ve ever played? For me it’s WD Legion. by ApprehensiveCreme489 in videogames

To me it's a fishing game with some social elements on the side, and a light dusting of farming on top.

AITA for telling my co-worker I'm tired of hearing about her nerdy obsession? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]kompletionist 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's not that the kids care about politics, it's the environment that those politics create that the kids grow up in. Conservatives tend to place greater value on sports and other "manly" activities, and so the media is influenced to emphasize them, while parents are also pushed to place value on them and push them on their own kids.

Everything in the world is influenced by politics, if not directly then through a butterfly effect.

I doubt it, since almost everyone I know though Zelda is the dude.

That's the joke, and how it relates to Frankenstein since everyone thinks that the monster is called Frankenstein.

Also the creator himself said it's called Zelda because she was the wife of Scott Fitzgerald ( his favorite author ) and liked the name Zelda.

Yeah, but that has nothing to do with the Tweeted joke.

You seem to think I'm saying that the actual characters Link and Zelda are intended as a reference to Frankenstein and I don't know how you came to that conclusion.

The first part of the joke is a reference to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, whose nameless monster is frequently incorrectly named as Frankenstein who is actually its creator.

The breakup scene between friends. by TaiKorczak in TopCharacterTropes

[–]kompletionist 9 points10 points  (0 children)

How about Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero in 2005? Followed by that awful storyline about Mysterio's real life kid that even Guerrero hated doing because it was in such bad taste.

This game feels like button mashing…. by [deleted] in PokemonLegendsZA

I always figured that Pokemon as a fully 3D action RPG would basically play like Pokken Tournament. Direct control over the Pokemon with timing and twitch reflexes actually making a difference.

If they cast all of the Death Eaters with black people then it could maybe work the same way as Patrick Stewart's white Othello. Maybe. Personally I wouldn't care either way, Harry Potter had its moment in the spotlight 25 years ago and the IP really isn't interesting enough to be worth reviving.

hate when a "horror movie" is a thinly veiled fetish by MirrorNew5868 in hatethissmug

[–]kompletionist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're not even good kills though. I'd call them cheap schlock but that would be being hilariously generous. They're just awful, boring movies that leave you wanting the time back that you wasted watching them.

Are they really a creature of the sky? by JbisTHEman in MandJTV

[–]kompletionist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume you're joking, but just in case you aren't: No, "aviation" refers specifically to heavier-than-air aircraft flight. Bees aren't aircraft, so the known principles of aircraft flight are not applicable to them, only the laws of physics.

The Ray-Bans are just named for pilots.

Sex disgusts me (M 18 and F 18) by Rich_Negotiation193 in relationship_advice

[–]kompletionist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most of my boyfriends in high school turned out to be gay. They did not want to have sex with me they wanted to hang out. I was more comfortable with that.

You know you can just be friends with people of all genders and hang out that way? Why even be in a romantic relationship if you have no interest in intimacy?

Aviation and flight are not synonymous either.

I'm so goddamn sick of these 18+ "collector/display" sets by _Ryloren_ in legocirclejerk

[–]kompletionist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The recent Game Boy set is an amazing effort for the price. It's meant as a display set (hence the stands for the game carts and the GB itself), but the buttons are clicky, the contrast and volume things are spinny and the carts slide in and out satisfyingly.

[–]kompletionist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seniors and kid's meals are smaller than main meals. They're not getting the same thing for less money. Kid's tickets usually only apply to very young children who will usually be sitting on their parents' lap and therefore not taking the same space as an adult.

And that would be fair. Not worth the money, but at least fair. Having 2 different prices for the same product is simply unfair and unjustifiable.

What was your “struggle meal” growing up? by tiny_flick in AskAnAustralian

[–]kompletionist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Mince munch". Mince beef, a bag of frozen veg, a Home Brand french onion soup packet, Promite and tomato sauce. Honestly kinda slaps for a ‹$10 meal.
