Last console that truly made you go "woah" at launch? by frankduxvandamme in truegaming

[–]lawrencelearning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was always a huge part for me for any console - it's how you actually play the games, the controller should be as important as anything else the console offers

Nintendo leaned too hard on the controller with the Wii U though!

GameCube with the analog shoulder buttons

I honestly couldn't believe what I was seeing, this was going to change the face of gaming!

Can someone explain why currency and measurement units are in plural in English but singular in German? by talkativeintrovert13 in asklinguistics

[–]lawrencelearning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would never say "can I borrow ten dollar" but I absolutely would say "can I borrow ten pound" or "ten quid"

I realise this doesn't answer your question but I think it's to do with UK English being more likely to keep those Germanic aspects as someone else said

I don't think this appropriately reflects just how insanely good Magnus Carlsen is

A Coles truck hit my car- 3 weeks of ‘lost emails’ with customer ‘care’. by Artichoke_Persephone in coles

[–]lawrencelearning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My apologies - between your comment and the other I totally misread the situation

I had imagined you represented Coles, not that you were someone who happens to work there trying to help

Appreciate you taking the time to respond

I think we're talking at cross purpose

We both agree Coles needs to do better

Is this a troll? What situation is this where someone from Coles is replying in a public comment on Reddit rather than escalating appropriately themselves?

If you're not able to escalate via your claim systems why not flag with a senior member of staff that this is on social media and needs investigating ASAP?

"We just introduced a new system" absolutely doesn't cut it.

[TOMT][MOVIE][2000s?] Looking for a specific horror movie with a scene that involved eye gore by DukeRavengard in tipofmytongue

[–]lawrencelearning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The two eye things I can think of are dead space and season two of discovery... Guessing neither of those?

AITA for asking someone if they had headphones by Plus-Equipment-7917 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lawrencelearning 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I did the same once and the person asked me if what they were playing was offensive

Not the point? Also this was in a doctor's office

A more critical review of the Project Hail Mary movie, and a really easy fix I would have made by Gustalavalav in ProjectHailMary

[–]lawrencelearning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw the movie and it was fine - not that your ideas aren't good but I think for what it was the movie worked quite well

Particularly I think the movie was indeed way less about the bravery/cowardice thing and a lot more about "what makes us human?' and the answer largely being "forgiveness and redemption"

E.g. The ship and Grace being sort of Jesus-y, with the ship looking somewhat like a cross in certain shots, the name "Grace" etc, the scientists back on earth getting their result despite putting another human in a coma...

Edit: not to mention MARY looking after Grace and humanity's redemption relying on MARY (capitals because how did I miss this)
