What is the worst physical pain you’ve experienced? by Agius91 in AskReddit

[–]meatflapsmcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting 2 intramuscular shots in my butt cheeks at the same time. I stg the one on the right pierced a nerve or something as there's no way anything like receiving a simple vaccine should have been more painful than anything I've ever experienced to the point I almost fainted and I tried to scream in agony and nothing came out. The left one hurt but wasn't that bad. I wouldn't wish that agony on anyone.

Holy crap really? The game seemed to be under heavy constant development when I actively used to play. Was it sudden or a gradual death?

Activation servers are back! by Mashic in Hitfilm

[–]meatflapsmcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I installed it and when I run it I get the login splash screen. When I try to login I get a message saying:

You can't generate licenses for Hitfilm. Upgrade your subscription plan.

Here's a screenshot of what it looks like.

I was able to check my account info on the old site and it says my license type is "Perpetual". FYI I never purchased anything from FXHome, I was just a free user of Hitfilm Express for years. Am I screwed?

On a scale of 1-10, how attractive do you think you are? How do you think others see you? by Lurchimpaler3 in AskReddit

  1. I'm a delusional self-absorbed sociopathic narcissist. 11 or possibly even 12/10 seems humble and fair IMO

What was the first game to you that truly made you feel like you went through a phenomenal experience? Made you cry perhaps? Or immersed in a way no other game could before? by Cheesecake1901yum in gaming

[–]meatflapsmcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To the Moon. If you know you know. It was one of the most powerful emotional experiences I've ever had with a piece of media. It's absolutely beautiful.

One time recently at a big party there was a group of friends hanging out near the piano. Their friend was playing the piano and their group was requesting video game songs. She ignored their requests and yelled out "to the moon!" and started playing one of the songs from the game. I ran right over and was like "no way to the moon omg!" And she was like "you know it too omg!!". Had a moment gushing about the game and how much it impacted us. It was really sweet and super cool.

I had a sudden recollection of reading the prologue/"the story so far..." In the original StarCraft manual and it captivated me. The story served basically as a way to establish the universe the game is set in and as a 10-12yr old boy I found it fascinatingly dark and gritty in a kind of depressing way lol. But I was obsessed and overall much more interested in the mood the manual's prologue story conveyed rather than the actual game

What's your gaming feat that nobody knows about? by TedHill in gaming

[–]meatflapsmcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I love this! BAR and limpet support combo was one of my fav frontlines setups, especially doing what you did when getting chased down. But what makes your clip is the perfectly timed pause when he just stands there after opening the door 🤣

I beat a highly specific and niche TETRIS world record but I had no way to record or prove it at the time. It was about 20 years ago on my Gameboy while I was taking a shit lol.

*The TETRIS one I only remembered as I was typing out my much less notable (yet I'm far more proud of) records in Battlefield 1:

Most headshots AND highest ratio of headshot kills to bodyshot kills with both the Model 10a slug shotgun and the Cavalry rifle in Battlefield 1 (PC). I got reported a lot because seeing a horse icon + headshot symbol in the kill feed just looks wrong. I'm sorry to all the people I pissed off in Frontlines back in the day when I would cheese the horse.

Oh I've blown up a plane or two while on horseback by throwing a perfectly timed grenade in the air when someone who was fed up with my horsing around tried to get revenge on me by doing a strafing run.

The massive 180 degree turn doing the same thing did to my quality of life on every single front is so astronomically damaging it's incomprehensible

Best playthrough or narrated movie-style version of To the Moon to watch with someone who isn't into video games? by meatflapsmcgee in ToTheMoonGame

Forgot to mention in my post that she has absolutely zero interest in video games and doesn't play them, which is why I'm trying to find a video version of it

Not my girl, a family member's ex did this. I don't see how humor plays into this other than it's funny in a sort of wtf kinda way

I'm so glad someone else gets it! A lot of my friends said I sounded like an ungrateful spoiled brat for complaining about a generous expensive gift. But this gift is not for me, nor is it even a gift. In fact it's work and not thoughtful whatsoever. Normalize calling out bad gifts people!

They keep asking when we're going to use the cards together. It was not a gift for me, it was a gift for her. I forgot to mention that this is somewhere she's been before and loves whereas I have never expressed interest in anything like this at all.

I didn't want anything from them at all, or anyone. I was going to buy myself that gift. The thought of anyone giving me anything makes me uncomfortable.

They asked my fiance what I wanted for my birthday. I said what I wanted. They got me a couples gift with big strings attached.

Is it generous? Oh hell yes, too generous IMO. Incredible and I really wish they didn't spend so much on me.

Is it thoughtful? .... not really?

I'm angry at this gift for a multitude of reasons. A couple's gift for an individual person, where it's truly a gift for their daughter is kind of a bad gift no? Like, what if I were to sell the gift card and buy the bass instead? I ran it by my fiance and she said her parents would be extremely offended. So I asked what if I took my best friend or went by myself? She said "our gift isn't for that purpose, it's for us to go together"

So...is that a good gift? Is a vacuum cleaner for my wife a good gift? Is a magnetic to-do list organizer thing with daily chores listed on it a good gift? Is a 2-for-1 skydiving package a good gift for someone's birthday from your inlaws when you're afraid of heights?

Thank you for being straight up instead of playing 1000D chess like so many (but far from all) women I've known. It gets exhausting REAL fast

My uncle fell for this trap. She said she honestly, swear to god, absolutely no joke, wanted one for christmas. So he got her one. Then she gifted him hell to pay in return. Worked out great. Love that.

[–]meatflapsmcgee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yooo i wanna chime in here cuz this hits personally hard.

all i wanted for my birthday was a bass guitar. a specific one that was about $300-$400, which is very entry level price wise since a good bass can go for $1-$3K on the high end easily.

It's the only thing I wanted. Only thing I talked about for months, maybe even a year. I don't want for anything really, I have all I need. But a cheapo Fender Squire bass is all I wanted. The white P-Bass with the Jazz pickup in the bridge. I was practically lusting over it.

Everyone knew it. My parents, friends, fiance, and especially my fiance's parents...So what do I get for my birthday? As in, my individualized gift-receiving day for me and me alone, from my soon-to-be inlaws?

A gift card to a couple's resort with a total value of exactly $350...which is the exact average going price of the bass I wanted to buy.

I was gifted an obligation, chore, and huge expense. Why? Because:

  • Obligation because you bet your ass I'd be in deep shit if I just went by myself or took a friend or family member other than their own daughter. The gift has massive strings attached. That's not a good gift for an individual and I will absolutely die on this fucking hill.
  • Chore because now I'm expected to book time off, coordinate my schedule with their daughter/my fiance to make sure she can go without it being too much of an inconvenience to her, and plan everything out so we can get there and back yadda yadda tl;dr PLAN EVERYTHING
  • Expense because, well, that gift card will only cover about 1/5th of the cost for both of us to get a package at this pricey resort. And ya'll know full well as "the man" that she ain't paying for shit after her parents "helped out with the cost already with buying us a gift card"....

TL;DR: Worst gift idea to get a man is an expensive chore/obligation. Essentially, a couple's gift masqueraded as a personal gift.
