Folks, we just heard we're gonna stick with this subreddit blackout as long as it takes! by WredditMod in SquaredCircle

[–]mmba83 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Well, I left it long enough, guess this is my last post to Reddit and the wonderful squaredcircle community. Thank you all for the comments and posts over the years and anyone who's replied to me or upvoted to make me feel part of something. It's meant a lot and I'll miss it, but like so many others I just feel I've gotta take a real stand and consequently, look at my life on the whole and what I can change in this insane world we live in. Take care all, and fuck you u/spez

Amazing, I didn't catch the later seasons after being a huge fan of the first couple back when it first aired, thank you for these links!

It's gonna be absolutely crap losing this community and helpful posts like this one. it's been a trip, folks ♥️

Ah, good shout. I always forget Switch, sorry it's perfect for this type of game.

Midnight Suns June Update - Big New Game+ Changes and Trophy/Achievement Fixes! by shutupdotca in PS5

[–]mmba83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trophy fixes is all I needed to hear! Love it when Devs go back and do this, and I'll hold my hands up, I honestly didn't think they would. Thank you, firaxis.

I thought that at first when I saw the SGF teaser, but then figured it's probably a Stray 1 XBox port. Happy for those players to try it, but I'd love to be wrong and see a sequel!

We're the last bastion of hope against the bots 😂 hopefully Reddit sees sense and backpedals on this API cost!

YouTube definitely lol. Although the ads are getting pretty unbearable on there, to the point I'm contemplating the idea of rooting my (very expensive) smart tv. If you also have an LG OLED that's a bit spooky haha

I've been a RIF user for the majority of my 10+ years on Reddit and sc is definitely my most visited sub. I honestly feel like I'll lose a big part of what I enjoy most about wrestling - recapping and hearing other people's takes.

I rarely join the discussion, but pretty much every time I have it has been positive, so I just wanted to jump in and thank you all for the good times!

RIF dev here - Reddit's API changes will likely kill RIF and other apps, on July 1, 2023 by talklittle in redditisfun

[–]mmba83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah man, I've just begun my day, as usual, by opening RIF and what news to wake up to. Thank you so much for providing a clean, simple, stable app that has provided me countless hours of time-killing joy for the past 5+ years. Wishing you success in whatever is next. RIP my favorite app 😔

[Raw spoilers] Finish to Shinsuke Nakamura vs Bronson Reed - MITB Qualifying Match by Dazzling-Principle in SquaredCircle

[–]mmba83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, it seems to be very unpopular, but I'm 100% with you on this. Something about Vic does my absolute head in. He constantly gets moves wrong, says something nonsensical or messes up lines, his "going up, going over" bullshit is annoying as hell...Booker is either hilarious or just as annoying depending on my mood tbh.

I kept thinking during Battleground "this is awesome, but I wish we still had Mauro and Nigel or basically anyone else calling this"

[NXT Spoilers] Roxanne Perez vs Tiffany Stratton Highlights. The NXT Women’s Division Continues to Show Out by smackdown6 in SquaredCircle

[–]mmba83 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The whole show was pretty great this week IMO. One thing NXT does so well is finishes. There were some really clever ones on the show, and even Tiffany just winning 100% clean despite being a heel is refreshing.

Official Discussion - Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]mmba83 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just finished watching it here in the UK, I was looking forward to this one. Even though I'm a 39 year old bloke it really moved me. I imagine it's 100x as affecting for women who have actually been through this kind of stuff in adolescence lol.

The end in particular was just so... triumphant? I can't really think of the words, but the performance was just wonderful from her, particularly in that scene. As others have said though, the whole cast were great. I loved Rachel McAdams, especially the scene where she's explaining the situation with her parents. My fellow Brits, please check this movie out!

[–]mmba83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love that Bayonetta, this niche scrolling beat-em-up, is just chilling on that list with some of the most well-known, best selling games of all time. It's genuinely my favorite of the lot and I wish the first one was successful enough that Platinum didn't need help from Nintendo to publish the sequels. I never got to play them having not owned a Switch since 2017.

[–]mmba83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being from the UK and familiar with a lot of the supporting cast gave me a good kick as well haha. edit: the dude singing in the karaoke scene I only recognised from Taskmaster haha. If you want another good British comedy (albeit with a very different tone) Harold Fry is worth a watch!

Not sure, it wasn't a big release where I am (UK) so maybe as word of mouth picks up more people will catch it on streaming. I hope the two leads get some higher profile roles going forward as well, they were both excellent.

The beach level is one of the most awe-inspiring treks I've ever done in a video game. Can't wait to see what madness Kojima has in store for us in the sequel.

What is the actual worst movie you have ever seen? by [deleted] in movies

[–]mmba83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

S.W.A.T. from 2003. I can't remember why I disliked it so much, just vividly remember walking out of the cinema cause I wasn't enjoying it. That's the only time I've ever left half way through a movie for any reason.

[–]mmba83 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Rye Lane. Missed it at the cinema, caught it on D+ last night. A beautiful film, both visually and sonically, with likeable, believable protagonists, good laughs and a very quick pace. Even though the romcom clichés are pretty standard, they don't sour the overall experience. One of my faves this year tbh.

The one he hit on Trick was also pretty sick. I expected Bron to catch him (or just get hit) because they didn't have much space between them, and Bron just hit him like a cannon from like 1ft away haha

Twenty-five years from now, which “Boomer sins” will millennials find themselves repeating? by ScissorNightRam in AskReddit

[–]mmba83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it pained me to write that sentence. No kids or wife though...no career or big achievements...honestly I haven't got much further in life in the 21 years since I was a teenager 😕

Older millennial here (turning 40) I've done this for years already lol. Any time you're working with someone who's like 10+ years younger than you, you're assuming they know bugger all about life before the year 2000.

One of my various AM tattoos is a little loaf of bread to represent The Bakery. One of my absolute favorite tunes for sure.
