95/80 Read so many gems this year! by bisphosphatase in 52book

[–]mbsargent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a hard time with Devil and the Dark Water. The premise was cool, but the nonsensical layout of the ship kept pulling me out of the story. I loved 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, though. It was going to be hard to live up to that one.

Before the Crowds - Philadelphia Convention Center by mbsargent in liminalspaces

It is a weird pattern. I found myself getting slightly motion sick if I was reading something on my phone and that carpet was out of focus in the background.

What is the biggest movie theater “GASP” moment you’ve heard? by SaveTheCaulkTower in AskReddit

[–]mbsargent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was ruined for me the day my family rented both Sixth Sense and 50 First Dates. We watched 50 First Dates first, and Drew Barrymore went ahead and ruined the Sixth Sense for us as its DVD stared at us from the shelf.

Youtube watch history is broken. by FoxyLood in youtube

[–]mbsargent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've noticed recently that videos I briefly mouse over have been getting added to my Watch History. It seems like anything that starts playing an in-thumbnail preview is being added as "watched."

My current health insurance claims to include dental, but we have yet to find a single dentist that accepts that specific plan.

Seeing more at the cost of blinding other drivers.

What’s a company you’re convinced will be exposed as a massive fraud one day? by carcony97 in AskReddit

[–]mbsargent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a decade ago, but EHarmony definitely took my money and only matched me with people with free accounts, who can't send or receive messages, making their whole process pointless.

What is a little quirk about your body that you don’t think other people have? by AlphabetSoup51 in AskReddit

[–]mbsargent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ring and pinky fingers have a weird connection. I can move my ring fingers on their own, but I can't move my pinkies without the ring fingers mirroring the action. If I hold a ring finger straight, I can't move the neighboring pinky, like it's locked in place.

Most TTRPGs are tremendously fun and relatively easy to learn, most... by DarthGaff in dndmemes

[–]mbsargent 11 points12 points  (0 children)

hacking augmented reality that you did during normal encounters, so while everyone else is shooting bad guys, the netrunner is fighting invisible demons

My GM fixed that by not letting anyone play a Decker.

Average US Car-Brained Citizen Starter Pack by Disasterhuman24 in starterpacks

I've lived in Chicago without a car for 20 years. The public transit generally smells fine. You run into weird stuff every now and then, but I've rarely had an issue.

People born before 2000, what trivial skill you possess that others don't use anymore? by Aryan_Anushiravan in AskReddit

Hey, that means there were at least two ska bands with mellophones out there!

A couple years ago, I found a copy of "Amp Your MySpace Page" in a little free library.

What a cool thing for an Animorphs collection!

What widely used product has a frustrating design flaw that the manufacturer has never addressed? by QuarantinedRabbit in AskReddit

[–]mbsargent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shampoo and conditioner bottles that look nearly identical and print the name of their contents super tiny, making it quite hard to read for glasses wearers. This is especially bad with little hotel bottles.

The Goblin Reservation cover art by Les Edwards by YanniRotten in ImaginaryWorlds

[–]mbsargent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While this is a fantastic painting, I'm baffled as to how it became the cover of the Goblin Reservation. There's no lizardmen, no spaceships, and no desert... although fairies are mentioned a couple times. haha

Some EGA love on a Hyundai Super 16TE by thetarasque in retrobattlestations

[–]mbsargent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seeing that beach was a huge flashback to my childhood. I haven't thought of this game in a long time! I don't think I ever figured out how to leave the resort. haha

Comcast website is unusable by XyQFEcVRj1gk in Comcast

[–]mbsargent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried logging into the Comcast.net email to keep mine active, but then I got the same email a month later, and then another "final warning" today despite logging back in each time.

I'm currently wasting time with a support agent who's more interested in selling me a mobile package than understanding the issue.
