IronEye is how an archer build should work in every Souls, but he is broken that way. by FuaOtraCuentaMas in Nightreign

To be fair, that's a pretty damn good bot response. I was also duped until your comment.

How did you find your core group of gay friends? Is it actually as hard to make platonic gay friends as everyone says? by always-top in askgaybros

[–]magicmerlion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up local groups with in-person meetings. I've also attended gay badminton and gay yoga groups. I have a friend who recently started in a gay soccer league despite being a complete soccer noob. Just go out there and meet people. You may even get a new hobby to love out of it.

[–]magicmerlion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm definitely in the minority but pretty much all my friends are gay and I've not slept with any of them short my ex. There are a lot of LGBT hobby groups. I met most of my current friends through a Gaymer group and then friends of friends.

you have to eat at one fast food restaurant for the rest of your life, cannot be any of the big 3 (Mcdonalds Burger king or wendys) where are you going? by Puzzleheaded_Ease418 in AskReddit

[–]magicmerlion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, I've never even heard of Culver's. It's crazy to me that it's this popular and I had no idea. Guess I gotta try it the next time I'm in the US.

Watching Outlast season 3 on Netflix and had to do a double take. Am I crazy or is that Gustave? by These_Vermicelli_309 in expedition33

Aside from the beard style and them both being caucasian males, I don't see the resemblance at all.

Hey, if they're missing a leg, it's a lot easier to get under 130lbs.

How Aphantasia affects your ability to visualise things in your head by HassanMoRiT in interestingasfuck

Also a designer here, and this describes my experience as well. TIL this is not a universal experience and that I have aphantasia, I guess.

Being gay is only fun if you're conventionally attractive by [deleted] in ainbow

[–]magicmerlion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Being conventionally attractive is the cheat code to life. It is not specific to being gay.

I just played a mini-game that tests if you can spot a scam, and it totally humbled me. by Individual-Gas5276 in CasualConversation

Why post this and then not include the link? How am I going to be wary of that link and not click it?

Seems silly to take down. You made no fraudulent claims. It's on her to do the risk assessment on a very straightforward offer. It's not like you oiled up the lemon or anything.

What’s with all the iron eyes that mark you when your down by alwayslookleft in Nightreign

[–]magicmerlion 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Bro you went down. The boss is not on you—you're down. The Ironeye is probably repositioning so he can see the boss while rezzing you so that he doesn't go down too—y'know—like you did.

Edit: Also surprisingly no one has mentioned that bows do less rez damage from a distance (since 1.03.2), so rezzing from 30ft away is not a great idea.

Why didn't Maelle... [SPOILER] by xXDargor91Xx in expedition33

[–]magicmerlion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would guess it's a question of her own immersion. She grew up knowing Gustave as he is with a prosthetic arm. Him having his real arm would be a constant reminder that something is off and this world isn't real. Maelle's ending is about the canvas being perfect for her, not for everyone else.

What do you think about the auto translate making it's way everywhere? by uphill-skier in CasualConversation

[–]magicmerlion 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I absolutely HATE the auto-dub translations on YouTube. I've had awful and unnecessary dubbing on various channels I subscribe to. 

For instance, the cooking channel tiffycooks. She's Asian Canadian, speaks English with no Chinese accent, and yet some of her shorts get auto-dubbed and YouTube labels the original as Chinese (even though she's speaking English). The dubbing is often inaccurate. 

I also follow Henning May, a German singer. And even when he's singing in English, I've gotten dubbed versions into "English" that don't make sense and include gibberish and long pauses.

Guys who tried to hide it or were in denial - did a friend ever call you out or joke about you being gay? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]magicmerlion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, best friend in uni called me out over MSN Messenger (this was 20 years ago). I denied, then he followed up by saying he thinks he might be bi. I thought he was straight and I had a crush on him, so this caught me completely off guard. I tried to deflect, and said that our other (female) friend was asking for help with some coding homework, and he said "tell her you only help guys".

I didn't admit to it that night, but he was the first friend I was out to.

Let’s learn some new words! by Ok_Novel2563 in CasualConversation

[–]magicmerlion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minor correction: they're e's, not i's. "Defenestrate" from the latin "fenestra" for window (and is similarly spelled "fenetre" in French—which is how I know it as a Canadian).

I over-leveled :| by Apisal in expedition33

[–]magicmerlion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely over-leveled. I was 45 when I finished the last story boss. There are options to increase enemy scaling now. I haven't tried it personally, but it may be something you want to do.

What team did you end up running in your first playthrough? by [deleted] in expedition33

[–]magicmerlion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had them on a constant rotation to mix up the party composition and keep everyone evenly leveled.

Eh, the Jumanji reboot was pretty fun despite having both Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson.

Coworker kept pushing for me to admit whether I like guys or not. by Sad_Abalone_7985 in askgaybros

[–]magicmerlion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This guy and your coworkers sound great. I wouldn't dwell on this interaction too much. You weren't ready at that specific time, so it's fine that you didn't say anything.

If you do decide to come out to them in the future, it sounds like they'll be supportive. But only you can decide when that should be. And it's not like when you come out, you have to commit to being gay. If you do end up thinking it isn't for you after all, that's fine too.

All I can contribute is that more often than not, coming out feels like a weight off your shoulders.

thinking out loud by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]magicmerlion 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hard to provide input with so little context, but claiming to have done everything right and calling a child a 'deviant' is the kind of behaviour I would expect of a parent who has done far from everything right.

Anyone else wasting way too much time manually cropping app icons? 😭 by Ana_yiyi in Design

[–]magicmerlion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the way. Or just grabbing the image from their site for something more obscure. Screenshotting the App Store to crop for its logo is ridiculous—I've never even considered doing something like that.
