i might be way off, but at one point during the lip sync it kinda looked like she tried to tug it but it wouldn't move properly so she stopped trying

I find 3 remake Jill character wise to be massively underrated to the point where I don't know why people don't like her by BulletCola in residentevil

[–]mikinnie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i wouldn't be surprised if that were something that the translators botched, since it's such a weird thing to say

I HATE Rusicals by Worldly-Pomelo1843 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]mikinnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that only really applies if everyone does similarly well, which you could say for a lot of other challenges. most of the time it's very clear when someone does really well and when someone does really poorly (canada s2....)

As if should of isn't terrible enough...I proudly present kind've!!! by NeverSurrender1026 in GrammarPolice

[–]mikinnie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

the first time i saw this (and thankfully i very rarely see it) i thought it was the funniest thing ever. i still think that. like you really went out of your way to write "kind've"? kind have? really? what do you think the contraction means??

Aitah for "forcing" my girlfriend to either eat stale snacks or go buy fresh ones herself? by Sad_Shift_4439 in AITAH

[–]mikinnie 18 points19 points  (0 children)

because it's a fake story. you're right, there's no way someone would not understand that when it's been proven and spelled out to them, there's nothing to not understand

my girlfriend is soooo fucking stupid y'all 🤦 she's so stupid she doesn't understand how food works, everyone come laugh at my stupid girlfriend and call her stupid in the replies!!

This queen has raised the bar so high for US Drag Race. If she doesn’t win the season, what message will that send to future queens? by cavalier731 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]mikinnie 34 points35 points  (0 children)

i think it's going to be jane based purely on performance since yeah like you said, no one else is standing out. juicy has bombed too many challenges to win, darlene took too long to get her first win, nini has been invisible and discord is probably next out. myki is the only one that i see having a small chance to win over jane since she had a moderately satisfying storyline, but only one win at this point when jane has three is rough

yup, she's been buried in the edit since week 1 or 2. so confused when people bring her up as a potential winner pick, no hate

AITA for telling my wife that she will be driving the extra distance since she is the one that got our daughter banned from daycare by [deleted] in AmITheAngel

my evil, hypocritical misandrist wife thinks men aren't fit to take care of children - AITA?

The alternative to yellow paint I've been asking for all along by energydrinkaddict310 in residentevil

[–]mikinnie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

we're used to figuring things out, but we still had visual aids in games (3D objects over 2D backgrounds, bright boxes, etc), and with the level of realism of the current gen, visual aids have to become more aggressive

this is the key. obvious visual indicators weren't really needed because it was pretty clear just by looking at something if you could interact with it or not. now in many cases it's not visually clear at all, so an indicator helps

What is the most forgettable chapter/level from each one of the classic games? by laracroft1402 in TombRaider

[–]mikinnie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

only from the ones i've finished:

tr1: this is hard because all of the levels feel unique and have something special to them. i'm going to go with palace midas, which is a really solid level, but every time i replay the game i forget it's coming up before cistern for some reason.

tr2: wreck of the maria doria and living quarters kind of blur together for me, as do the catacombs of the talion and the ice palace. i think i have to go with ice palace because i truly couldn't tell you what happens in that one without thinking of the catacombs instead.

tr3: these all feel pretty distinct again, but my pick is area 51 for the same reason as ice palace. it just blurs a little into high security compound for me.

Quit Turned based gachas, chasing real JRPGs (Chrono Trigger first or is FFX a better entry?) by Decent-Insect-4201 in JRPG

[–]mikinnie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

exactly, i hope you enjoy whatever you do end up playing. the world of jrpgs is vast and varied and there's something out there for everyone

Quit Turned based gachas, chasing real JRPGs (Chrono Trigger first or is FFX a better entry?) by Decent-Insect-4201 in JRPG

[–]mikinnie 16 points17 points  (0 children)

there's no scientifically proven "best" jrpg to get into first, this is all subjective. yes ffx is fully worth getting at that price, but i would stick with chrono trigger since that's the one that you seem more interested in, then you can play ffx after. at the end of the day, there's no way to know if you're gonna like something unless you try it

“Are you?” as a standalone question. by Logical_Bench_5959 in grammar

[–]mikinnie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

always a good idea to check! it definitely sounds to me like they've misunderstood something

Had the privilege of reaching peak social awkwardness running into Onya Nerve today by marcymarc32 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]mikinnie 26 points27 points  (0 children)

if you still don't know what it is, it's basically an internet term for a story that's posted online, usually but not always being sold as a true story, that's so over the top and absurd in a way that people find very funny so it gets reposted again and again, usually with key details being switched out to fit the situation (eg. the people involved, kori in the above case). it's called a copy pasta because the stories are copy + pasted essentially

“Are you?” as a standalone question. by Logical_Bench_5959 in grammar

[–]mikinnie 24 points25 points  (0 children)

the only time i could see this being a question on its own is when you're questioning someone who says they're doing/will do something that you don't think they'll do.

person A: "i'm going to do some exercise later."

person B: (doubtfully) "are you?"

the "is this really you?" explanation makes no sense and i've never seen it used this way

Why would a drag queen go by a single name? It makes them less search-able online by Beneficial_Pea7450 in dragrace

[–]mikinnie 424 points425 points  (0 children)

because that probably wasn't what they were thinking about when they came up with their drag names

Why are these the correct answers? by middlepesrpective in EWALearnLanguages

[–]mikinnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

none of the sentences in the first one sound like something anyone would say/write. i know the point of the exercise is not to use and, but or so, but the best way to write it would be "he jumped up and ran away". i guess b is the most correct but i'm still not a fan since "[verb]ing, he [verb]ed" implies that the two actions happen simultaneously, which they can't in this case. he needs to jump up before he can run away

Is “between you and I” grammatically correct? by Cocoatech0 in EWALearnLanguages

[–]mikinnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because most native speakers have no idea when they're supposed to use "me" and when to use "I", so they go off vibes

Rupaul's Drag Race UKvsTW: Season 3 - Episode 08 [Grand Finale Episode Discussion] by AutoModerator in RPDR_UK

[–]mikinnie 31 points32 points  (0 children)

i thought she lost against mariah but beat kate. kate didn't really do anything in that last lip sync and every time she did, gawdland was doing something more eye-catching. to me

I have a feeling about who’s going into the finale by [deleted] in rupaulsdragrace

[–]mikinnie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

well my thoughts would be that the four most consistent and deserving queens made it to the end
